Crema's Take

Hal's Office is a neighborhood gem where thoughtful details shine through every cup—from the in-house made chocolate that crowns their velvety mochas to exceptional baristas like Cameron and Irene who clearly care about craft. Their cold brew is legitimately standout, the espresso carries beautiful nutty and earthy notes, and the pastries (poppyseed muffins included) actually deserve the hype, all enjoyed in a charming space with a cute parklet out front that's perfect for lingering on warm afternoons.

I’m think why not 5 stars. My mocha was foamy and creamy the espresso has a nice nutty earthy flavor. They make the chocolate in-house. I can smell the awesome aromas of the chai they are brewing in the back and the pastry was also soft and fresh. And very friendly.

Fast and good service with choice of takeout cups or real cups which is always my preference. Coffee was good but not exquisite. Poppyseed muffin was very tasty.

Hal’s Office Coffee smelled heavenly as soon as I walked in on a Saturday morning. I judge a coffee shop based on the quality of its cold brew, and theirs did not disappoint. The pastries looked and tasted scrumptious. The ambiance was lofty, friendly, and coastal.

Charming little coffee shop that makes some of the best latte I have ever had. Now to make it even better, a cute little parklet is opened right in front of it. I can imagine coming here on a warm summer day, sipping coffee and enjoying the weather!
