Flavorful and bold coffee creations in a charming and warm cafe. Highly recommend pistachio croissant, flaky and light, melted in our mouths with an elevated flavor profile. Raspberry cheese danish was delicate and delicious.
I’m so happy I found this place! I was craving for something from my country, Colombia and as a Colombian I have to say I totally felt at home. The Pan de bono was totally delicious and also had a Latte Frapucchino really tasty, you can feel the coffee region in it. The decoration really cosy and the staff totally you can feel the Colombian love. Definitely the best coffee in town and now my favorite place!
I stopped in on Christmas Eve and was hoping the hours shown on Google Maps were correct, and they were. The list of available syrup flavors were right at the cash register and I always love a lavender latte, so I ordered an iced latte with oatmilk and lavender. It was so delicious and their packaging is unique! From other Google reviews it looks like people love their pastries, so I'll have to come back when I'm hungry. Thanks for being open Christmas Eve!!!! While still in town I also stopped in the day after Christmas....twice. In the morning I ordered an iced pistachio latte and late in the afternoon I needed a pick-me-up so I ordered an iced matcha. Both were as great as my first experience. But of all the matcha lattes I've ordered anywhere, I've never had the option of sweetened or unsweetened matcha powder. The cashier did a great job explaining the difference and I actually chose a customized option in the middle that the cashier recommended. Another staff actually made the matcha latte and took great care in doing so. Clearly I need to find a reason to come to Clayton more often so I can stop in again and try other lattes.
Cheese pandebono (first time having) was great and cafe has good ambiance! I did work here for about 2 hours and it wasn’t too loud. WiFi was a bit slow though. I also felt that prices were a bit high, $6.70 for a hot matcha is like nyc prices
Incredible little place! Everyone is so lovely & the coffee is phenomenal. All the drinks - even the matcha & herbal infusions are delicious! & don’t miss the food, especially the pandebonos!! Very authentic & incredibly delicious, can’t wait to come back!
