"This a cool outdoor little coffee spot. It's a customized small little trailer with some outside seating. The young lady, the owner I am assuming, is very cool person. She was very welcoming and in high spirits when I visited. I had an iced Americano with oat Milk. I wanted whole milk but it was not available. The espresso in the Americano was good. It was a good roast, but I would of preferred the whole milk because it was not as creamy as I would of liked. There's street parking and a small parking lot available."

"Tried the coffee here and it was great. The ginger chai latte was delicious and love that there's a seating area outside next to it and great service too! *note that the only milk option is oat milk in case you're looking for something different but I highly recommend this place! It's very dog friendly too"

"This has become my new favorite spot to stop at for coffee during my walks in leucadia or post run!! The prices are unbeatable and coffee is amazing. The best thing is the lavender latte with oatmilk 10/10 - atmosphere is beyond welcoming and people are always just hanging out chit chatting and spending time with one another"

"Happened upon this nice coffee shop while walking the 101. You can get a delicious cup of coffee or espresso, and Remy loves to try out different floured lattes. There a small area to sit to hang out and enjoy your drink."

"I don't know what to say about this place except it WAS short lived for me yet MAGICAL WAS, meaning she's looking for a new building to plug into & coexists with!! If you're a Lucadia business woman or man looking for an amazing community coffee cart ran by a community driven badass boss babe, REACH OUT TO REM!! Legit has a massive community following for such a tiny entity I've made forever friends (pun intended) thanks to her & her mini wknd event popups. SAD to see her leave her 1st space, yet eagerly excited to help find a new community gathering space with her! Looking for a business equally appreciative as we would be to them. 2026 won't be the same ... Unless we help her find a new parking spot"

"Hands down the best latte I have had in north county. Remy, the owner, is awesome! She was super welcoming and sat down to chat with everyone between customers. The prices are super reasonable and the vibes are incredible; frankly, other local coffee shops should be shaking in their boots."

"Super incredibly friendly. The owner greeted us on arrival and said hey friends. She was just sitting outside. It felt so personal. She then let our son see the coffee and talk to him and let him see the inside of the store. And they even have chalk outside, so he loved drawing on the ground as we shipped our delicious coffees. Excellent experience. The best."

"Remy is awesome and she made some amazing drinks for my kids and I. Teenagers are hard...but she was super polite, kind, and personable, and was easily able to get my kids talking and interested.....plus, the drinks were so amazing. We had a raspberry vanilla latte, a Caramel latte, and a Servers Choice...which were all so incredible. It was the exact vibe we were going for. We don't live in town but we will definitely come by if we go into town, again. The beanbag chairs were a cool addition, too! The space is definitely welcoming...or whatever"
