I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to give them a 5 star review! They are our go-to for coffee (and matcha), flowers/plants, and every day gifts. Their attention to detail is worth mentioning —the Ora team is always looking for new ways to beautify their space e.g. they just took some of their dried flowers and added resin to create the most beautiful table top for their coffee station. I can’t recommend this place enough and neither can my pup!

This place is fantastic! Phenomenal decor, atmosphere, and coffee. Cortado was fantastic. The shop dog, a black pug Coco is the sweetest pup and greets all of the customers! Absolute must try spot if you’re in the area!

My favorite spot in the neighborhood they are a great place to enjoy great coffee, get precious and fresh flowers but not only that, the merch they carry is nice, different and peculiar. Owners are attentive to details and they also rent the beautiful space for private events and hay their own candle lab… You can see the love and effort they put into this place. 100% recommended

This is the best coffee in the neighborhood, and the lavender tea lattes are amazing too. The pastries are local and delicious, and the ambiance is gorgeous. Seating is limited since this is primarily a gift and flower shop, but if you snag one it’s a treat!
