Disregard the trolling prior reviews, they are simply not true and false! This place is sweet, got recommended the cold brew by Bell and she adjusted it to my taste! It’s small, intimate and a nice quick stop, would recommend!

Great atmosphere and creative drinks! The atmosphere is in a class of its own and is definitely worth a spot at the map. If you want to enjoy a unique and original espresso shop this is definitely worth the stop!

Good coffee inside a refurbished school bus. Awesomeness. I ordered an Americano which was proper. Two shots, 8oz porcelain, black. Delicious. My friend had the matcha on ice, also delicious. We came too late to try the pastries. They also had a Saigon that said all are welcome with a Bernie action figure next to it. Good Vibes. Also very cool ‘diner’ style seating inside the bus. Plus they have a walk up window. Should be more places like this in the world. Thanks Eugene!

Fantastic coffee and wonderful staff! You see an old bus that sells coffee and you might say, “What? This seems sketchy.” I assure you, it’s pretty rad inside and a unique to place to sip, chill, and enjoy good tunes and good company.

This is some serious coffee. A few times ago, they felt that the coffee wasn’t at the right temp and remade it 3 times just to make it perfect; and frankly, it was. I was there today and the owner is super kind and knowledgeable, with a friendly and peaceful atmosphere. It’s on a bus, but it’s renovated exquisitely, but I’m here for the coffee.

Clean, uncluttered, uniquely fun, and peaceful. Bright and sunny. Flat white, latte, and cinnamon bun were all delish. Great quiet place to hide, sip, think, work, read, scroll, stare out the bus windows, enjoy your treats. Chat with John if you want, or not. He's a true professional.

A breath of fresh air in an otherwise somewhat redundant coffee side of town. Incredibly unique cafe setting in vintage Crown Bus, with a fun, friendly straight shooter owner. Come for the coffee, stay for the candor and jokes.
