Cup of Dreams Coffee and Tea

Very cute place. We did not try the food, it looked good with some reasonably priced savoury options and a variety of sweeter options. We had the pour over coffee, it was quite good, but had more bitterness than I would have expected for a Kenyan light roast, especially given the price. Others in the store seemed satisfied with the options chosen. The service was a bit slow, but not unreasonably so, and one of the staff seemed new so that would be expected and must be forgiven with the way things are at the moment.

I think we will try again, although probably not the pour over as I feel it is not their specialty.

Update at bottom

Debating between giving this place a 2 or a 3 but decided with a 3 due to having very reasonable prices and having so many drink options that it makes you want to come back and try them.

All of the sweets I've tried from here which were banana nut loaf, chocolate dream, tiramisu, macaroon, and I once ordered a caramel flan but the woman said she wasn't going to sell it to me because it was old and to come back on a Saturday when they were made fresh. I came back the next day and even though she didn't sell it to me it was still in the case but one had been sold. I think she didn't sell it to me because she saw me taking pictures and knew I was a reviewer but they had no problem selling a week old flan to someone else😬.

All the food I'd tried was very obviously old except the banana nut loaf which I thought was really good, I would consider it fantastic if it had chocolate chips in it. The Sakura Rose Milk Tea with Tapioca Pearls I think tasted a bit like soap but my daughter loved it, the hot chocolate was better than Starbucks and swiss miss but only marginally, husband liked his iced latte, chai tea latte was not great but not bad so I don't think I'd order it again.

I'm sure I'll be back to try more of their many drink options but I'd stay away from the food.

Current update:
Went back to try some other milk teas which I think were good. Somehow I still think the one my daughter picked still tastes like soap even though she got a different flavor. They had a different dessert to try this time which was a dreamy mango boba cheesecake. It was only the second time that I had something that tasted somewhat fresh. I didn't like how the cheesecake part tasted personally but I could see how others would like it. Might be willing to try other food items in the future but their hot items are definitely the milk teas. I'll increase their rating to a 3.5 now.

I had high expectations for a coffee shop that calls themselves Cup of Dreams. The place is simple and inviting. Very pleasant staff. I was not overly excited about the coffee though. Taste of the regular brew was fairly average. Much better than any chain coffee shop, but not anything that you can not find at most local cafes.

Today I stopped in Cup of dreams and was not disappointed. It's very clean, it seems like it would be a great environment bring your laptop and work. I got the mocha cappuccino with whipped cream and it is so smooth and creamy. I will definitely be going back to try the Boba tea.

The specialty drinks are fantastic! The staff is so pleasant! A great place to unwind for a bit!

Stopped by to pick up some cold drinks on a hot day. Great atmosphere, but the drinks were terrible. They looked great on the specials board, but nowhere close in taste. This place has potential, if they can fine tune the actual drinks they're selling at a higher price than Starbucks.

Latte was delicious! Loved the egg and cheese bagel as well. Will definitely be coming back soon. Such a great place for a coffee date.

Shout out to the barista who was able to make my oat milk latte in 3 minutes so I could catch my train! Wish I had the opportunity to come here more often.

Staff is Not very welcoming, have been a few times now. the place is just ok. Coffee is ok aswell. I def cant keep it as my regular place, but again i would say maybe it depends on perspectives so ya for coffee if you wanna try once and see you can.

I can't believe I've never left a review for this place despite being here multiple times a week. I LOVE this cafe so much. The ambience inside is so clean & cozy, the baristas are so sweet, and the whole place has this lovely, creative presence. Very cute pastries (that I believe are homemade?) and delicious tea. My roommate and I come in and order a new flavor of tea every time and they've never disappointed. Also, comfy couches and good meet up spaces. :-)
