Crema's Take
“This spot thrives on being a quiet, laptop-friendly hangout for apartment complex residents and students, and one standout barista (Christina) has earned genuine loyalty—but the core problem is consistent: the espresso drinks are genuinely poor, with multiple customers reporting flavorless cappuccinos and coffees they threw away. The food and ambiance are fine, and it works well as a study spot or social meeting place, but if you're going for quality coffee, you'll be disappointed and likely won't return.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

See all on Google →Hot drink is poor. I tried it twice and my wife as well. We trashed our order, has no test of coffee and or the Cappuccinos. I can't believe the management didn't improve the quality of the hot drinks till now!
The most perfect place to study and work or just for a coffee run. I’m here all the time and had to leave a review for the barista Christina, she’s a doll!!! I’ll never go to Starbucks again as long as Christina is working lol! (Not sure why all the non residents are posting…
Nice cozy place in the middle of the apartment complex. It's an added value to the houses there and a place to network after work with neighbors
Such a disgrace that they hire mean people who don’t want to be there since this is a nice cafe with good food options. The mean employees forget that the only reason they have a job at this cafe is because of the residents who live on the property who give business and helps it…
I just don’t give 5 stars because some foods have no label, I can not tell what is is. The juices for example, how I suppose to know? Other than that everything is very good. Ambient is perfect, calm and clean. Staff is very friendly.
