Crema's Take
“Their espresso is genuinely solid and clearly made with care, which explains why locals make it a regular stop before hitting the slopes. The vibe is cozy and family-friendly with good pastries, though the cramped counter-service setup and somewhat uncomfortable seating mean it's better for a quick grab than lingering—and the specialty drinks like matcha are inconsistent enough that you're safest sticking to their straightforward espresso drinks.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

i got a matcha latte and the lox bagel. i would definitely skip the matcha, it just tasted like milk. i even asked the barista if she actually recommended it because cafes tend to do a poor job at making them, but she assured me it would be good (it was not). lox bagel on the…
Cute little coffee shop. Staff was nice enough but it's all counter service. Atmosphere is a bit blah and white, and none of the chairs are really comfortable to sit and read and enjoy your coffee. Coffee was good.
