Crema's Take

Falls Coffee draws crowds with inventive seasonal drinks like the Velvet Valentine and creative matcha variations that showcase their signature approach to specialty beverages, though consistency seems to be a work-in-progress across both drinks and service. Staff member Carmen stands out for genuinely warm hospitality, but recent visits suggest the shop struggles with execution—from slow drink times to flavor inconsistencies and outdated online menus—which creates a frustrating gap between their ambitious vision and day-to-day reality. If you catch them on a good day with the right barista, it's a charming neighborhood spot worth revisiting, but go in with patience.

Have been here 3 times. First two were good. Was here a few days ago ordered the Velvet Valentine after craving it for a while. It took 20 minutes to get my drink, the wifi continuously wouldnt load, and the drink is not what was depicted. I had it once before and it was amazing but 7 dollars for inconsistency just isnt it. For context the drink is supposed to be red and red velvet flavored.. it tasted like burnt espresso no red velvet :/

Me and my friends were so excited to try the seasonal Cupids Chai today so disappointed with the drink. They all looked different and not only that but we felt treated differently because of our background. Tried to make it right moment of but we were turned away. Moments later the same barista handed the pictured beverage to someone else. Very sad because we loved this place.

*Update 1/4/26* : I came back for a second visit and was hoping to order a seasonal drink I had seen on the website. Unfortunately, the website still wasn’t updated to reflect what was actually available in the shop. This visit also didn’t feel as welcoming as my first. We weren’t greeted when we walked in, even though there was only one other person present (a friend of the staff). Instead, we were met with an unwelcoming stare. When I mentioned the website/menu mismatch before ordering, the response felt dismissive, and the tone didn’t give me much confidence that the feedback would be passed along—unlike my first visit, when I was assured it would be addressed. Because of the inconsistent menu information and the noticeable drop in customer service, I’m updating my review to a 3-star rating. I had specifically planned to order an item that was no longer available, which was disappointing given the expectations set online. 11/23/25: This past Sunday we stopped in to try a new coffee shop, and they happened to have their seasonal Harry Potter drinks — so fun! ✨ The inside was super clean, cute, and the service was great. This was my first time trying cream cheese cold foam, and I’m absolutely in love. LITERALLY, every sip tasted like the first 😍 Definitely going back — 12/10! ☕️💫 What we ordered: • Lion Heart Latte (Gryffindor house) – me ❤️🦁 • Strawberry Cheesecake Waffle – me 🍓🧇 (we did have to add syrup at home) • Three Broomsticks Brew – my friend (highly recommend!) ✨ • Caramel Banana Toffee Waffle – my friend 🍌🍮

I am very disappointed in the drinks I received today. I went in and ordered 3 iced matches, all different types. The pink pony matcha seemed almost spoiled, and it tasted sour.The blossom matcha and the strawberry shortcake matcha had absolutely no ice nor cold foam in either drink, it had a very thin layer of what seemed like strawberry syrup. I have gone to this cafe a couple times before in which the drinks were great, but this time the drinks were not good whatsoever.

Love this cafe!!! Such a hidden gem! Carmen, one of the staff members here is so sweet! Lovely customer service and works so fast with the drinks! There isn't a ton of seating at this cafe, same with parking, but it typically isn't busy here because it's still a newer cafe. They have tons of unique drinks and yummy snacks for you to pick from! I've had a strawberry smoothie, strawberry shortcake matcha, strawberry tea lemonade, and a graham cracker latte! All of them were sooooooo good! This cafe not only **looks** aesthetically pleasing, but it really **IS** aesthetically pleasing!! I've come here to study, doodle, or just chill! It's the perfect spot to enjoy some nice quiet vibes while sipping on a yummy drink. It's location is also great if you wanna go on a walk and see some lovely nature too!! They also hold some events here for the community and post them online! I recommend you visit their Instagram page to learn more about them. I really loved my experiences here and absolutely will be back when I'm in the area!
