This has become one of my favorite, go to coffee spots. Their coffee always comes out great and their staff is always very welcoming and friendly. The interior is a laid back vibe and clean.

Great little place. Menu is small and there aren't many tables, but we had no issues getting a spot and picking something great. The breakfast sandwich I had was delicious and my partner"s donut looked amazing. He said it was. Drinks were great too. Very friendly service as well.

I just happened to walk by this place and decided to go in. Honestly I was hungry and the sign outside promising sandwiches and muffins really pulled me in. I got a small chai latte and a grilled cheese. I was asked if I would like the chai sweetened, because it does not come sweetened. I have never been asked that question before nor did I know that was a thing. Probably because places like Starbucks have a premade chai that is already sweetened. I have been watching my sugar intake so that really made me excited. I sat down and waited for my order. It was pretty quick. The woman behind the counter was also very nice. The chai was delicious and I’m happy I got it. And the grilled cheese, I ate that on the drive home and it was delicious. Will definitely stop there again.

This place has only been open for 2 months, but they are definitely on the right track.
Their tea and bagels are phenomenal. The tea is high quality, loose leaf and tastes amazing. Their bagels are chewy and delicious and worthwhile all on their own. I had a Chai Latte (pictured, blue cup) that was perfectly spiced and beautifully presented. I also got a London Fog to go that was bright, flavorful, and so well balanced.
Their menu is very limited and the owner specified that he's experimenting with where his ingredients are sourced from at the moment, so I expect it may expand some in the future. The food was very high quality, though. I had the avocado toast, which comes with a choice of bread, avocado topped with some kind of red pepper flake spice blend, tomato and pickled onions. I replaced the tomato with bacon because I don't generally like tomato, but ended up feeling like the tomato might have been a better flavor combination, so I'd recommend trying it as is. Unfortunately, this ended up being a bit too acidic for me and I started to get heartburn halfway through. No fault of theirs, just a heads up for those with sensitive stomachs. I decided on an everything bagel with plain cream cheese and that was phenomenal. I'm hoping that they'll add more cream cheese flavors in the future, or even just add the option for an herb blend mix in.
My partner got a cortado (pictured, heart foam) that was well made and an Americano to go. He has a preference for dark roasts, a more bitter coffee flavor, and blends over single source beans, so he found their coffee to be too bright and was disappointed at the lack of selection for his tastes, but we acknowledge the skill and craftsmanship and recency of opening and hope that selection will improve as time goes by.
He also got a bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel and was excited that the sandwich came standard with Sriracha mayo and was delighted that it was grilled and panini pressed. It seemed like there were two kinds of cheese on the sandwich and one came through the preparation process cold, which seemed like a deliberate choice, but was a little off-putting in a hot sandwich. The ingredients and execution were clearly chosen with care and it seemed they were going for a high quality, upscale feel. The Sriracha mayo was very tame, likely to please a New England palate. Personally, more Sriracha would have been welcome, but we understand the audience they're working with.
The location was clean and well cared for, but disappointingly I saw a lot of fruit flies on the upper part of the wall behind the barista/register and was repeatedly bothered by them during our meal. That's pretty noticeable in December and I hope they'll deal with that problem quickly. EDIT: I returned after 3 weeks and found the fruit fly problem dealt with! Raised the star levels in response and happy to see such quick action taken.
I thought the board with coffee-related dad jokes was a great touch and I hope to see more decor soon because the inside had a rather sterile feel. But again, they've only just opened, so I expect that's somewhere on their to do list. I'd also love to see outlets near the tables. I didn't notice any and that feels like a modern must-have. They had some Barista magazines and coffee-related reading available, which added a touch of cozy that I appreciated.
Overall, I'd recommend Coffee and Kindness and I wish them well.

Here from nj for work and have been struggling to find a good coffee shop until here. Great food and coffee and atmosphere. Got the avocado BLT which was a big portion with chips and a pickle and a large drink for only $14
