    Awesome neighborhood coffee shop. The coffee and pastries are great - the music is usually too loud, so it gets to be a bit much if you hang out there for a while. They also put iced drinks in paper cups which somehow feels or tastes weird to me. Not sure if that’s a real effect or just a trick my mind is playing on me.

    Loved this coffee shop! It's small, comfortable, and has talented baristas. Plus! All the bakery is VEGAN!!! Rarely do you get so many options of bakery to choose from. My daughter had a giant blueberry muffin and I had a cherry crumble. Both were perfect with our oat milk mochas. We'll be back. Highly recommend to all, but especially to vegans.

    I really like Mother Fool's. It's my go-to spot when I want to read a book or do some work over a cup of coffee. It's what I think all coffee shops should aspire to: there are big windows in the front and a quiet couch in the back with a variety of comfortable spots and tables to work from in between. Sometimes I get coffee and other times a latte, and they're all good. The staff, too, is always really nice.

    Always a favorite stop when on Atwood and Willy street. Great vegan and gluten free baked goods too!

    Fools who are looking for a coffee house are probably the ideal type of fool to enjoy this place where other fools sit around crying about Donald Trump too.This is the kind of place you can find antifa members off campus if you're looking for some. Probably not much sense being spoken here but I don't listen to NPCs mumbling Orange Man Bad dreaming up a way to be SJW of the monthly. This is the kind of place you can find a man in the women's room or a man menstruating or breast feeding his/her 10 year old dindu nuffin who's dressed in drag for a show at the 7 pm open mic. I hope nobody else drives their truck into the front window again. We know how some people thrive on victim culture and they were no exception when that happened. SMH
