Scranton is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Scranton is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Pennsylvania's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Ordered an Oolong Iced tea. It was refreshing and what I expected. Size of cup is good for price. Funky artsy vibe. Professional and friendly staff. I've been here once before. Great experience every time. I ordered a coffee last time. I highly recommend this hidden gem for an amazing cup of coffee and relaxing atmosphere.

Im only giving this place a 2 star for atmosphere because the local art is amazing. Otherwise the experience overall was extremely disappointing. The iced latte I got was not properly made. The vanilla syrup wasnt fully mixed in and the espresso was poured over ice which made the drink much more bitter. The chai that we also ordered was made with a powder. I have never seen a coffee shop ever use powder mix for a chai. It was so bland and cheap. Also reading through some of these reviews and seeing how the owner responds to feed back is really disappointing too. The owner seems super entitled from what I have read. Save yourself the money and time and go somewhere else.

Quite disappointed given the large number of reviews. Got cappuccinos and blueberry muffin. Cappuccino was mediocre at best. Just a thick foam of milk on top. Not what I expect from a cafe at all, and I explore a lot of local coffee shops. Muffin was dry and not at all fresh. Honestly inedible and had to throw it in the trash.

The place was okay overall, but there were some major downsides. The tables were dirty, and although the staff was very friendly, the food was disappointingβit seemed like it had been in the fridge for too long, making it taste old and hard. The matcha had no real flavor, and the only non-dairy milk options were soy and oat. The coffee wasnβt bad, but the presentation of everything could use improvement. On a positive note, the bathroom was clean.

I didn't get any food here, just an americano. Coffee was OK. I was looking for a strong, bold, dark blend, and although my coffee was acceptable, it wasn't quite dark, bold and thick as I am used to. Atmosphere, however was awesome! Nice comfortable place with a great vibe. I had an extended business meeting here, and it was the perfect place for that. Located in the Scranton Life building.
