The Pancho Villa English muffin was delicious! Their iced Chai is also very good.

Every time I have come to the Optimist, I have loved it. It keeps me wanting to come back for more. Their coffee is outstanding - especially w/ their house-made almond syrup! I have had The Lunch Club and Breakfast Club sandwiches, as well as the Goat Meal and all of them have been nothing short of amazing. I bring my friends here every time they are in town and they are always pleased. Not only is the food and coffee good, but the environment too. It is calm, the decor is great, and the staff is always so nice and it genuinely seems like they enjoy their job. This is definitely my coffee shop of choice! Thanks for being here, Optimist!

The atmosphere and decor here are by far the best parts of the place. It's a really great place to focus, do work, or meet with friends. Only downside is that seating and parking can be hard to find on weekends.

I loved the new and exciting signature drinks that I found in this shop. Pleasant atmosphere and good WiFi connectivity. Restrooms are very clean.

The cutest little coffee shop! The coffee and coffee cake I got were both very good. Friendly staff and cool atmosphere.

Quirky little cafe with delicious food, great coffee, and fun & interesting decorations. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating options.

Found this place on accident and it has quite literally the best breakfast sandwiches. I’ve ordered the same one both times I’ve gone and it was equally amazing and I can tell it was made with love ❤️ Coffee is also great :)

Well curated coffee shop with hot and cold breakfast items. It was a good morning stop and I enjoyed everything we ordered. Short of 5 stars only because I save that rating for the best of the best.

I tried the Hulk Smash and Chai quita banana latte. Hulk was not bad but it was really hard to cut with plastic knife😂. Latte was pretty good! Perfect for chill days. I went here in weekends so it was crowded..
