Crema's Take
“Dayglow is a vibrant, purple-hued escape where creative matcha drinks and spiced coffees take center stage, drawing matcha enthusiasts and adventurous drinkers alike with beautifully crafted signature creations like their famous Totoro drink. The mellow, indie-curated soundtrack and artful presentation justify the premium pricing, though consistency in service varies depending on when you visit. If you're seeking unconventional flavor combinations and Instagram-worthy drinks in a distinctive atmosphere, Dayglow rewards the trip across town.”

The male employee that’s there in the AM is extremely rude and has zero sense of urgency for people stopping in to get their coffee first thing in the morning. The last two times I was there before 8am he took his sweet time chatting and painstakingly slowly made two drinks which took him ten minutes. Didn’t once acknowledged the line of people waiting patiently. I eventually had to leave as I didn’t want to be late. Not a place to go for a quick coffee or friendly staff.
Coffee with spices with a different take. Good atmosphere and out of the ordinary tastes.
* I’m officially a matcha bro* I was across the street googling “Coffee near me” and it said this spot was 250ft away. I walk into this spot Emerald by A.G Cook is playing matching the mellow feel of this spot and boom parking enforcement comes and tells me move my car before I get a $93 ticket! WIN!! I ask the barista to make me his three favorite drinks. So I’m not 100% sure what I got but me and buddies were all happy with our drinks.
$10 pistachio strawberry matcha Had a light strawberry syrup taste with an even lighter taste of pistachio. Vibes are weird when you walk in and the customer service was none "hey whats up" after I said good morning. Anyways, the atmosphere and the service match the location
Not cheap but you can see why you pay more and it’s so worth it! The Totoro was heavenly I nearly went back for a second one! Absolutely beautiful crafted drinks in a very purple setting!
