Recently started coming to this spot as I was growing tired of Starbucks coffee and I was not disappointed! Ordered the Horchata Cream Cold Brew and it was DELICIOUS. Coffee tastes great! So far so good! The girls who take my order always seem nice as well.

Great coffee shop that has some delicious iced lattes and even some good iced teas. I tend to get their iced lattes with no sugar, just oat milk and the coffee as I think it's one of the rarer coffee shops with solid roasted coffee beans.

As a first-time visitor, I really enjoyed it. It was better than Starbucks! There are lots of coffee selections and lots of delicious morning snacks. I will certainly revisit this place!!

I’d come back. The red velvet cupcake I had at this place was A+. Perfect balance of ingredients, and, it was moist when I got there at 5pm! This is one of the few places around that I’d get my red velvet from. I also ordered a cappuccino that was done well with lots of foam. I’m glad it didn’t come out as a latte! Customer service was also great. The gentleman working that day kindly pointed out all the various cupcakes they had out, and the cashier was also a sweetheart. There seems to be good team work at this spot. :)

They do not have the cupcakes on their menu, but you can still order them. I usually look up the cupcakes on their menu online before I get to the drive thru. Their butter beer iced latte is delicious with oatmilk. Only thing that throws me off is their cup sizes. Idk how I feel about ordering a mezzo iced latte. Seems weird.

Our biggest irk about this place is their consistency on their espresso drinks. Sometimes the drinks are to die for and other times they have an overwhelmingly bitter burnt taste. I can't tell you how many times we have thrown away our drinks after just one taste. Also, not a fan of their cupcakes (too sweet and too dry) but we love all their other pastry and sweet offerings.

I go here alot since it's right across the street from my house. They will repeat your order to you correctly three times then still give you the wrong order. The worker seem like they are on drugs or high all the time and can't do simple tasks, even when they repeat what you want. But the food and coffee is better than Starbucks so there's that.

Great atmosphere, and the blended coffees are point. Great staff especially Priscilla, and Sam. Both excellent ladies in customer support. The Raspberry Cheese Danish is great and tasty. I would recommend this place on a Sunday morning.

I needed to wait for someone nearby & decided to stop at this shop for a cappuccino, which was very good. I'm on a severe fasting diet, so didn't eat any of the pasties, but they looked fabulous & were very tempting.

5 stars for the drinks but the sandwiches are just sad! 2 tiny slivers of bacon on the bacon egg and cheddar looks nothing like the photos

Friendly employees and everything I had was tasty. My new favorite place. My only note that if their breakfast sandwiches were on a store made buttermilk biscuit rather than la Brea bread (meh, that I can get that anywhere) I would be a daily customer. Hint hint.
