    Welcome! We know how excited you are to be here! To help make your transition a little smoother, stop in for a 1/2 price Vanilla Chai. It's a favorite around here, and we think you'll love it too!

    Green tea "Ice Rage" was pleasantly refreshing on a balmy summer day. Fast wifi, lots of outlets, and comfy couches in the back! Staff is super friendly and answers all your loser questions ;)

    Downtown Scavenger Hunt Tip: Iggy's go-to hangout spot usually involves cups of coffee and tea! You'll find him on the second level with his laptop and warm drink!

    Chocolate chai is delicious in cold weather. Peach, pear, apricot smoothie is wonderful to help cool off on a hot day.

    My faves are the pixie mate (especially iced) and hot chocolate mmm. I know there are more good drinks but i can't explore because i keep getting my faves every time i go there!

    Great place. Great coffee. Love it. But if you drive there, watch those parking meters! Scranton must have two meter nazis per block. Put those quarters in and watch your time! Tickets are expensive!

    Chill place to camp out with your laptop. The food options although few are good, think wraps and biscotti. Lattes are mediocre. Soy milk available.

    You save money and help the environment by ordering your drink in a mug. Coconut mocha is delicious. :-)

    Be cautious with the coffee cups to-go: the caps tend to leak.
