The food, the coffee, the service - it’s all soooooo good! A place you can go as a vegan or non-vegan and everyone will love it! (I am vegan though). The specialty latte’s were done perfectly, not too sweet and had delicious creamy whip cream that seemed like it was homemade. I hade the vegan sausage egg breakfast sandwich on panini. So yummy! My husband had the pumpkin toast and loved it. We will be coming back here again and again.

What a delightful cafe! I found it after a frustrating visit to the DMV, and my food and coffee definitely soothed my ruffled nerves. It has a fall/Halloween theme with sprinkles of Christmas decor when I was there. The owner and staff were very kind. I live about 9 miles from the cafe, but I'm going to make a point to visit again in the near future.

I love October cafe. I did the valentines reservation and it was really sweet and cute. My partner was surprised and we both loved it. I got the early birt discount and it was a great deal for what we got. It was an experience to remember. The food and drinks were really good! Everytime we go we try something new. It never disappoints. Cute decor all around. Love that they offer tons of vegan/vegetarian options. owners are extremely active in the community and are really great people! Something I definitely love to support. This is a great small buisness. Make sure to check them out

Get your yen satisfied for vegan sweets and breakfast 🧇 here! The waffle was decadent, toppings amazing, it tasted wonderful, great combo of pumpkin butter. Pumpkin seeds, chocolate chips and it seems like a pumpkin seed butter drizzled on top of it. It's perfectly balanced! But the waffle itself, very doughy, I personally like a crunchier waffle but I think that's a preference. A very healthy dessert for me but just little too sweet for breakfast but again preference! Their coffee is amazing! They even have flights which is very interesting because you really do want to try all their coffee combinations. There's nothing better than a pumpkin spice theme, every neighborhood should have an Octobers. They have almost everything vegan and gluten free options​ which is welcome and I think very progressive. You can bring your friends that always says ick to vegan and gluten free and I bet you at the end they'll be trying some! They also highlight local vegan And gluten-free artisans by selling local ice cream, pumpkin butter, and other treats.

Really cute café with all the cozy fall vibes! I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was actually pretty crowded, so just something to keep in mind if you go on the weekend. I tried the “IT” drink (strawberry lemonade with strawberry popping boba) and “Cuddle Weather” (hot chocolate with hazelnut + caramel) both were fun and perfect for the fall theme. The Pesto Panini and Avocado Toast were solid too, nicely made and fresh. The staff was super nice and helpful even with how busy it was, and everything in there is decorated so cute - definitely a great spot if you’re into fall-themed drinks and cozy cafés.
