Crema's Take
“This hotel lobby café serves Starbucks coffee under a different name and mixed breakfast items, but has a serious documented problem with how it treats Black customers—one review explicitly warns against visiting if you're Black. The 3/5 rating is based on only 11 reviews, so the sample is tiny, but the racial discrimination claim is too grave to ignore or soften; the food gets occasional praise (breakfast burrito, avocado toast) and the staff friendliness gets mentions, but nothing here overcomes the core issue.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.

We had the breakfast burrito and avacado toast for breakfast. Both were very good & fresh. Cappuccino was Starbucks. This is a hotel counter bar and did a good job. Not too many breakfast alternatives nearby.

Incredibly friendly staff. Really enjoyed the yogurt bowl breakfast and my quesadilla dinner. Bourbon was great too.
Overpriced off brand “StarBuckz”. Azul Cafe and Bar lowers the bar on service, so if you want to stop in, it’s best you lower your expectations. Located in the hotel lobby, it’s a well furnished, comfortable spot for breakfast. But, $15 for coffee and yogurt with salty AF.…
