The best coffee so far in the Imperial Valley...pioneers in the exploding coffee culture in the Imperial Valley. An awesome and friendly staff with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Love the set up and their Coffee nights with live music. The COLD BREW is off the wall!

Easily one of the best chai lattes I have ever had. And the staff was super friendly as well! Don't be thrown off by the fact that it's attached to a church. It's worth the stop in! Can't wait to go back and try all the drinks they have to offer.

What can I say, I love this place. It’s attached to a church “connection” which I loved on my busiest days helped me slow down and recharge. Not to mention they have the best cup of coffee in town, I know this as I’ve tried all of them. But honestly drop in, order the flat white, get an amazing panini which I think is way too cheap for the amazing quality they provide and enjoy the empowering spirit flowing through this place between the church and followers who indulge in the word. I’ll be back connection on this trip or another, thank you and god bless.

It was very neat and cute. Comfy atmosphere and the food was great. Only problem is that I don't think my waffle had any syrup on it or if it's supposed to come with it either way no one offered if I wanted any and couldn't find it around the accommodation area. Still tasted good though.
