Crema's Take
“Candy Cloud's sleek, dark minimalist design and creative soda mixes make it feel like a modern cafe from a bigger city, offering a refreshing alternative to typical coffee chains with specialty drinks that actually taste fantastic. The app-based ordering system and laptop-friendly vibe make it perfect for getting work done or meeting friends, though service can get stretched thin during busy hours. If you're willing to overlook occasional staffing hiccups, this is absolutely worth the drive for coffee and creative beverages that stand out from the usual suspects.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.
