Crema's Take
“Santos has a devoted following for seasonal drinks like their basil lavender latte and strong customer service from staff like Jessica, but the 3.9 rating reflects real friction points: menu prices aren't posted anywhere and run higher than expected (sandwiches regularly $10+), bread options are frequently unavailable, and the experience feels inconsistent across visits. It's a friendly neighborhood spot with a laptop-friendly vibe if you're willing to ask about pricing upfront and don't mind surprises, but it's not reliable enough to specifically seek out.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Drive-thru.

A friend told us this Santos had opened so we just had to stop by before work and oh my gosh what a cute little shop and such friendly faces! My partner and I each got an iced vanilla oat latte and agreed that the taste/balance is great 👌 The southwest turkey wrap on the lunch…
