The espresso is so roasty and rich. No bitterness, just a rich flavor. I live over an hour away and will coordinate a trip in the area just so I can enjoy this delicious brew. The service is always friendly and welcoming. And the esthetic of the shop is beautiful.
I’ve been here twice and they’re always out of something I’m looking for and they’re menu doesn’t reflect the photos online. My second visit i encountered a rude cashier. Ordered a strawberry matcha and it wasn’t too bad. I feel like they could’ve added more strawberry flavor.
I was pleasantly surprised by my first visit here! I had a craving for a matcha drink and was nearby, so I decided to give this place a try. The cashier gave me a helpful explanation of how their matcha is prepared: it comes in a 16 oz cup with a layered presentation. At the bottom, they have a fresh strawberry puree, followed by milk (I opted for oat milk, but almond milk is also available), and then matcha is poured on top. It's a unique drink that you can enjoy as is, with the layers intact, or mix everything together—either way, it’s delicious! The drink is not overly sweet, but it has just the right amount of sweetness without being too overpowering. It’s perfect for those who enjoy matcha but prefer something a little lighter and less intense than a traditional matcha drink. The shop also has a great selection of pastries, including some gluten-free options, though they are not completely celiac-safe due to the risk of cross-contamination. They also offer breakfast sandwiches during certain hours. I really appreciated the excellent customer service; the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered helpful drink suggestions. The space itself was spotless, both inside and outside, and even the restroom was tidy and well-maintained. However, keep in mind that the restroom is a unisex single stall, so only accommodates one person at a time. Overall, I had a great experience here and will definitely return!
In the middle of a business center is this charming coffee shop known for lavender lattes and bagel sandwiches. I love the interior design and layout of the shop. The baristas were friendly and accommodating, they offered swift service and gave a warm welcome to everyone who entered the shop. I ordered the creme de la creme latte which is creamy and rich, topped with hickory smoked salted whipped cream seasoned with cinnamon. I loved the overall flavors that came from this cup. I’ll definitely come back to this shop, with it’s warm vibes.
I got here as they opened and was the first customer. They were already smiling and cheerful. The environment is very laid back. I asked for a recommendation with the criteria being caffeine and cold. She recommended the cookie butter latte, and I got it in a large. The drink was smooth, which is very important to me. It was delicious and not overly sweet. Perfect amount of coffee:ice ratio. The baristas chatted with me a little while I waited for my drink and allowed me to take pictures at my leisure. There are multiple pastry items for sale, including vegan donuts, which I thought was a nice touch. Non-coffee bottled beverages can also be purchased. The seating was clean and ready for use. Will definitely be returning and will continue to ask for recommendations.
