Crema's Take
“Gloria Jean's has one genuinely likable thing going for it: a solo barista who consistently goes out of his way to be kind and accommodating, even when slammed. That said, the 3.1 rating reflects real inconsistency—drinks range from "amazing" to noticeably watered down or overpowered, and quality seems to depend heavily on who's making your order and what you're asking for. If you're in the area and want a friendly interaction with someone who clearly cares, it's worth a shot, but don't expect reliably excellent coffee.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. Good for meetings spot. Pastries on the menu.

See all on Google →Guy working behind the counter was by himself and serving many customers. Obviously stressed out but still providing great customer service!
I ordered a strawberry matcha latte with boba! The server was really respectful and he made sure my drink was made right! I recommend this place !! The service was great, drink was amazing and they have nice coffee mugs/cups too!!
The guy who served us was amazing! He also gave us a free macaroon and was so kind. Our food and drinks were amazing.
The coffee was decent, but it was a little overpowered by the other flavors. The service was extremely friendly.
The two workers were nice. I ordered an iced chai and it sucked! Such a rip off. I think they put chai mix and added water instead of milk. Tasted so watered down. Disappointed we paid money for that drink. Honestly should have tried to take it back.
