The coffee was great and came out fast despite the busy Sunday rush. I ordered an iced latte and enjoyed the outdoor patio. You may have to wait for a spot to open up but it’s right near the farmer’s market and super convenient.

Friendly staff who make really tasty beverages! Always the best jams playing over the speakers. Cute indoor space for working, reading, etc. There is also a refrigerator for grab n go water and other drinks. The space also offers outdoor seating! Lastly, the pastry container almost always has gluten free goodies daily.

Cute coffee shop with great coffee drinks, very friendly staff and a great selection of bakery items (gluten-free savory tarts, vegan, etc). The matcha latte has been hit or miss, but when it's good, it's great. The ambiance is open, airy & very dog friendly. They have both indoor and outdoor seating.

solid. all the milk choices + really sexy options like rose or horchata latte. 5% discount if you bring your own mug. Patio seating, and friendly smiles behind the counter.

Great extensive list of cappuccino/ lattes and plenty of outdoor seating. Several baked goods options as well. Great neighborhood coffee spot!

Probably a matter of personal taste, but I was disappointed that the toasted marshmallow latte didn’t have more pronounced flavor. It came across as a basic sweetened latte. The service was lovely and the space is small but nicely designed.

Great spot! Latte just the way I like it with extra micro foam! Banana/chocolate bread was delicious.

I was hoping that after it became Black Elephant that the customer service would improve, but unfortunately not the case. My sister and I went there around 4pm. Two girls, and one guy behind the counter, not one hello, or even a sign that they were interested in taking our order. In fact a couple of them disappeared when we were looking at the menu. We left. If you want good service, stick to Romancing the Bean, which is across the street.

Addicted to the Mexican mocha iced coffee. Had the banana bread and it was delicious. Had a chocolate chip cookie and it was tasty but not the best. Add cbd to any drink for an extra boost of relaxation. Glad I live 2 blocks away.

I guess I fell into the marketing scam, which is blue matcha...it's just a rebranding of butterfly pea flower powder. Don't expect it to taste like traditional green tea matcha, since matcha is about the process of grounding up tea leaves (learned something new). The drink has no caffeine. Essentially what you are paying for is blue milk. Thanks for responding. I did do my research after I was confused about the taste. The research articles that I found shared that the research is limited. Most of the benefits that tout it comparing it to green tea matcha are by the folks selling it.

This place caught my eye with the variety of options they had. I was looking for a local spot to substitute the basic Starbucks alternative, and I wasn't disappointed (I ordered the Chagaccino). I was hoping the prices would be better than Starbucks but they were slightly more expensive. Still pretty good, and I would recommend a visit.

Decent, if overpriced place. Nice cold brew but a $7 hot breakfast sandwich straight out of the microwave didn't leave things on a great note. Pastries looked nice in the display case.
