Yes, eat hereJudged 7/10/2026

The most recent inspection only found a paperwork issue with food worker card documentation, not an active food-safety hazard. An earlier visit found one batch of cold brew slightly above temperature, but staff immediately discarded it and corrected the issue on the spot, so there's no ongoing risk to diners.
