Executive Chef Matt Singer is leading the kitchen team in partnership with award winning Long Shot Hospitality Chef/Partner Kyle Bailey.

This was an awesome experience! The server was great at explaining each drink. I love how unique each one was - unlike any coffee drinks I’d had before! Also, ending with the ice cream and churros was a really fun option :) I liked that they do have an option for decaf as well for people who maybe having a lower caffeine tolerance. A great experience overall!
