Crema's Take
“Sweetleaf's Rocket Fuel—a maple-sweetened cold brew that tastes nothing like standard coffee shop fare—is worth seeking out on its own, but the real draw is how the baristas treat every order with genuine care, whether you're ordering their signature creative drinks or a finicky matcha. The intimate space, complete with a vinyl-filled back room, strikes that rare balance between cozy enough to linger for hours and lively enough that you won't feel self-conscious working alone, all while the music stays at a volume that actually lets you think.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

I came here to get some coffee and work done, and it's a pretty solid spot! The inside of the cafe is fairly small but there's quite a few tables, and an area ("The laptop area") for you to get your work done. Service here is quick and the barista was nice. I just got a drip…
Smallish cafe with a few tables and a great atmosphere. There is a cozy back room with vinyls. The drip was a Guatemalan blend and had a noticeable chocolate flavor with a sweet and smooth (almost honey like) finish. It was slightly herby/leafy as well. No qualms with this…
