Crema's Take
“Conscious Cup's miso caramel pastry is worth a solo trip, and their almond croissants rival what you'd find in Copenhagen—this is a roastery that takes their pastry program as seriously as their pour-overs. The staff moves with genuine warmth, and the sprawling seating (ranging from cozy nooks to laptop-friendly tables) makes this a place regulars return to for years, whether they're meeting friends or settling in alone with a pour-over.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available. Drive-thru.

I got a vanilla Ella. It was good. A bit light in the sweetness but I added my own Splenda. Better under sweet than over sweet. The atmosphere is very cool with tons of seating and different seating arrangements. The pastries looked delicious but we didn't try any. I will…
