    We had a great time at Paulina's space! Rebecca and Paulina were wonderful hosts that really helped make our night memorable for everyone. They were kind, helpful and accommodating to our needs and I'd recommend the space to anyone wanting to throw an event in their cozy cafe!

    Paulina and Rebecca were amazing hosts! Initially, they were very communicative and clear on their guidelines. They accommodated all of our needs, and went way beyond our expectations as hosts. Both of them were friendly, caring, and super hospitable. Their space is flexible to host for any type of event and I would definitely recommend and book again. I am beyond content with my experience!

    Both Paulina and Rebecca were so amazing to work with through booking and the entire event. The space is so cool and versatile with the ability to be inside or out on the patio and it was perfect for our birthday party. Rebecca was so helpful and accommodating and are sure everything went off without a hitch. The decor on the walls is awesome and the venue has a ton of character so I didn’t feel like I needed to decorate at all. Rebecca was also super kind to provide things I had forgotten like a lighter and knife for the candles and cake. Thank you both so much!

    Rebecca was super responsive and helpful! Kristi (staff on site) was super friendly and accommodating. Parking was reserved for us and she showed us where we could store our drinks and food and helped us clean up at the end of the night! Would book again! Perfect for intimate parties!
