I ordered coffee for me and my fiancee that took so long to get! Our orders were simple and the barista took long getting our orders. We had noticed a pattern. After we had ordered, there was a short line behind us. Right behind us was an African American guy and after were white people. The barista and everyone else in the place served the white people right away before us. I had looked at the guy with an awkward look, and so did he with me. Eventually my fiancee asked the lady about my coffee, at this point 15mins had gone by. The lady then reached right behind the coffee machine to grab my coffee. It was so odd because I saw her put my coffee there 5mins after I placed my order. The coffee tasted horrible. Wasn't what I ordered. And prior to that, a man came by with his kids and the barista immediately made their drinks. I'd say atleast 1min after they got their orders. Not sure if it was a race thing, but it felt racist. I thought I was overthinking it, until I saw the other guys expression and what my fiancée had told me after. Also they messed up her order as well. Shame, it's a cute hole-in-the-wall place. But people need to stop choosing favorites, especially race.

Excellent Customer Service!!!! Delicious coffee and exquisite menu options. Employees are kind/friendly and knowledgeable in coffee and baked goods!! Better than Starbucks and Pete’s and beats out its competitors and great local coffee shop for Grand Lake/Adams Point!!! Will definitely be back for more HOT 🥵 or COLD 🥶 delicious liquid goo (known as coffee). (Yes, they have other drinks too. Haven’t tried yet. Gives me something to look fowards too!) Favorite items currently: Donuts 🍩, chocolate Croissants and ALL Latte’s!!! (They’re all delish) Rating: Too low for 5 Stars!!! Needs to be 10,000 Thousand Stars!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

There's one table outside for a couple of people to sit at but otherwise no indoor seating, so it is really just a place for a quick stop. I cannot really speak to the quality of this coffee. It seems pretty good enough. I could see this place being a local hangout but I don't live in the area. It's the only place to get coffee in a few blocks. It is located next to a Mediterranean restaurant which it may or may not be affiliated with.

Wow, just wow! I came for the coffee but STAY FOR THE FOOD! totally blown away with the quality and unique flavors they got! I got homade salsa with Tsaziki sauce with my spinach egg quesadilla and it was amazing! My girl was surprised by fried fresh plantains and pesto with her eggs. Really a treat and awesome because it’s a quick grab and go spot!

Not very friendly. Could be that there's usually only one person working so they're stressed.

We got two iced drinks, a lavender latte and a dirty chai. Both were lovely. The prominence of the fresh ginger in the chai was excellent. We were also really pleased to see them carrying Third Culture bakery (mochi muffins and donuts). Their standard latte options are good but not my favorite in the area.

This place is open early and is right across the Fairyland playground. It attracts the locals like the scent of coffee to remote worker bees — and their well behaved pets as long as you stay six feet apart according to one dog who barked when my fellow human stepped too close for comfort. (How’s that for dog etiquette? This bistro should give this dog a job.) And did I mention the coffee selection is excellent as well? Let’s help support the local economy.

I had the lavender latte and it had the perfect amount of fragrance without being overpowering. They also had a great looking menu. Plenty of covid-friendly seating available too

This is our neighborhood coffee shop, and it's great. You can order breakfast to go from the restaurant they're a part of, or eat at one of the the outside tables. They carry pastries, and quite a few gluten free ones. The reason for only giving 4 stars is that I used to only get their chai latte, which they make themselves and has previously been great always, but the last few times I've gotten them they've been very bitter and weird tasting.
