Pourfavor

I arrived around 4:45pm today. Excited to try this place for my first time. Friendly service but didn’t expect to pay a total of $28 for meh experience. I ordered their specialty drink “Black widow” on ice, it was decent, quesito which wasn’t fully warm but good, and the most disappointing part was the San Juan sandwich which is new. I received the chicken cold, when I told them, seems like they nuked it in the microwave, the bread came back soggy including the lettuce and tomato. Not sure if I’d go back for their food, but pastry’s and coffee sure when I’m in the area 😒

Nice place to study. I got here early and found a great seat. I got a Cuban bagel and Vietnamese coffee for ~15$ which is pretty standard. The girl working behind the counter was super nice and everything where is clean.

My fiancé was recommended this place as having great coffee and food. Parking was difficult to find, and the place was packed on a Sunday afternoon. I took that as a good sign until I saw the Monin syrup bottles. (Anyone who knows much about coffee knows that Monin is bottom of the line in syrups. Even if you have amazing espresso, mixed with low quality syrups like this, it will drag it down.) The cashier recommended a cinnamon roll latte that she made up the day before, and I said I’d try it. 1 pump white mocha, 1 pump cookie dough, and 1 pump cinnamon. Each pump was $0.75, making the drink $10…for 1 pump of each. I was still trying to be optimistic, but it was really bad. It tasted very artificial and incohesive. They did exchange it for an iced butter pecan latte, but that wasn’t good either. It had zero flavor and was very milky, to the point that, to try to salvage some of the money spent, I went to Starbucks and got an iced espresso shot with some vanilla syrup to mix with it, which made it so I could at least muster through it. The pastries were really bad. They were stale. The guava pastry I got was underbaked a bit and the guava jam inside was too sharp. My fiancé is military and can muster through most foods after eating MREs, but he said the scone he got was worse than bad ship food, which is saying something. We were so excited to try this place, but from start to finish, it was a $40 mistake. Pastries were $4.95 each. My drink that I had to spend more money to salvage was $10 with the 3 $0.75 charges for 1 pump of each cheap, artifical syrup. And my fiance got a sandwich that he could only eat half of. The atmosphere was okay, but I canNOT recommend them at all.

I was so excited to try this place. There was a long line so I know it’s busy. I ordered a seasonal flight, cookie and pastry and needed to take it to go. I was shocked that there’s a charge for to go but I went with it. Got my cookie (good) guava pastry (amazing) but waited over 35 minutes for my flight. Since everyone else got their drinks I thought saying I’d drink it there would make a difference. I was extremely disappointed and especially hearing the staff upset that she had another flight because “4 back to back flights is torture”! I dunno take it off the menu then. I paid nearly $40 for the experience. I for sure won’t be back again.

I'm always on the lookout for a cozy coffee shop when I need to refocus and get through some clerical work, and this spot did not disappoint. The food came out quickly, and the staff were warm and attentive, which made the experience even better. What really stood out to me, though, was the décor—thoughtful, creative, and full of personality. The owner happened to be there and shared how she works with local artists for the artwork on the walls and local artisans for many of the goods in the shop. It gave the place such a unique, community-centered vibe. A true gem worth revisiting.
