Local coffee spot in the Avondale entertainment district. They used to have a cereal buffet on sundays pre-pandemic. coffee is local and interior is space themed, awesome for adults and kids. also they have old school gaming systems and thousands of board games for your pleasure. place was opened by the previous owners of Bottletree (a legacy hip venue).
