I drove all night from Nebraska. Kismet was the first place I could find open and close to Czech Village. This place is very atypical, nestled in New Bohemia, in an old house. It’s accommodating, the staff isn’t Seattle trained “baristas” but folks that know the area and their craft. On top of a Cappuccino latte, they offered a water without my asking. Customers stumbled in the early hours and the staff visited, small talk as well as craft devotee minutiae. It’s not to often you run across a place like this by accident or on purpose.

I love checking out local coffee when visiting different towns. This Plant and Coffee combo is extremely cute, amazing design and decor!! The space is very small and meant offer a ton of seating options but the vibes are incredible and the mugs match the space with beautiful latte art from the baristas. I enjoy the very simple traditional menu with a few house made flavor options! I chose the Turkish Delight and holy fuck it was perfect! A blend of pistachio and rose, felt like it perfectly took the look of the shop and put it into a drink :)

Cutest coffee shop/flower shop ever. It smelled so good inside with all the flowers. The Turkish delight iced coffee was delicious and they make the pistachio rose syrup in house.

Going out to get a coffee is about taking a pause. Or a few to chat with some friends. This place is perfect for that. It's in a small house, with indoor and patio seating. They also sell flowers so it looks and smells wonderful in there. My cortado was great but it was the atmosphere that gets it 5 stars. Employees super nice too!

My wife is a regular, borderline addict. I did not believe the hype. Then on a beautiful Sunday, I went. I ordered the milk blend pour over, arguably the best coffee I have ever had. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a premium cup of coffee. This place provides a nice relaxing place to work, and the employees offer great conversation. The only thing I would recommend them to add to the menu is breakfast sandwiches.

The cutest place to get coffee or an arrangement of flowers for someone special. I’ve been here multiple times and it gets cuter every time. Friendly staff, a menu that is always being updated, and some of the best lattes I’ve ever had. Bonus that they have an adorable upstairs boutique with cards, candles, etc.
