A comfy and cost volunteer run Cafe. I attended their Saturday open mic session and it was wonderful. A great place for coffee, tea, cake, and make new friends

As soon as I walked in there was a good crowd for live music in the middle of a weekday. Good latte, stay for the vibes.

An amazing local coffee house. Delicious coffee, carrot muffin, and cookie! I would definitely come here again. Such a relaxing atmosphere. Also I loved the music that was playing. Perfect!

Community... local art on the walls, local crafts on the shelves, live local music, local drinks and treats. A central hub for the community and community based events, arts of the ave, kaleido family arts festival, deep freeze Byzantine winter festival and many more projects and programs that make our city great. Kind courteous staff (that Hope girl is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, so cool, helpful and just a treat to be around)

Randomly, I stopped here and I tasted the homemade soup. Since then, I return every time I can. Furthermore, the staff is very friendly and the ambience is fantastic! I like to see the art in the walls, the handmade pottery and the jewelry. I don't live near from this place but it worths the trip.

Was brought to carrot community Arts by the coffee pass, and it may become my favorite local coffee shop. All of the staff was incredibly friendly and the matcha was fantastic. The location just feels wholesome and gives a different, but homey, feel compared to some of the other trendy coffee shops. Definitely worth a stop.
