Such a cozy, beautifully designed haunt. I love the theme, it's so creative and detailed. A perfect place to work on a computer or chill with friends, and it's pretty roomy! I was so glad to see their numerous tea options in addition to coffee and pastries. They have soy milk as a dairy free option at no additional cost. I'll definitely be back! Have to taste all the teas! (Oh, and one of the barista's was in costume which was super cute!) The location listed on Google maps is misleading, we had to walk around for a while to find it. It's on the 2nd floor, not the Barking Dog side, at the end of the hall opposite the back parking lot. Update: 2 years later and this is still my favorite cafe of all time! Such a wonderful place to hang out with friends, the employees are so nice (thanks for the pup cup!), and the food and drinks are tasty and at a great price point. Love you!

Loved the vibe of this little cafe! We went a bit late in the day (around 2/3 p.m.), so many of the pastries and other treats were low or out of stock. Even the lemonade was out, so the "potions" were a no-go as well. We tried the Black Cat tea and the Mantacore frappe, though, and both were delicious. Definitely recommend getting there early to make sure you have all your options. Especially as this was a weekday, and I imagine the weekends get fairly busier.

A wonderful and eclectic place to visit and to dine. It's great for everyone from someone needing a place to study and work while enjoying a latte from their amazing selection up to large groups having a meal. The food and service are excellent! We love it!

This place is soooooo adorable!! I got a chicken salad sandwich and a manticore latte. The sandwich was good but nothing special, but the latte was delicious, and both were reasonably priced. The atmosphere is just delightful though! Also there was a live harpist playing for the whole 2.5 hours I was there! I stayed working on homework. There is plenty of space and was super cozy for a rainy afternoon. My only tip is that it is within the very large/confusing Lowe Mill complex. I'm from out of town, so it took me forever to find the coffee shop, which I'd seen online. Some better signage would help!

Spell binding, enchanting, fun, and cozy. First time and I am wowed with it. The staff are kind and enjoyable, as well. This is what happens when you allow creativity and good system to flow together. The food is amazing, as well. I also like that I gaze into the city by a cozy window. It is family friendly, as well.

Pretty dope in here. Very much unexpected, even though I saw the pics prior to visiting. Makes me wanna LARP in here,lol I had a seasonal cold coffee Apple Toffee and a chef salad. Salad was OK, but the coffee was refreshing. Will definitely be back just on the vibe alone.
