Dear Diary Coffee

This place is a jackpot! Pumpkin spice latte was delicious (tons of spice/not too sweet), and there was ample seating space with tons of outlets on a Wednesday morning. Really cute and chic atmosphere inside as well.

Super chill coffee shop serving vegan friendly fare with delicious coffee and house made syrups. If you're hungry try the overnight oats they are tasty and filling at a solid value.

A cheery, no-frills local coffee shop. Every time I come in I have a great interaction - the baristas I’ve had recently (Riley & Myles from my receipts) have been so kind, I watched a neighbor pay for another’s coffee, and it’s a relaxing environment to sit on your computer or grab a vegan latte to wander the neighborhood.

This is the only vegan coffee shop in my neighborhood. I come here every week with my son to enjoy a yummy sweet treat and a coffee inside. Lately, it feels that this place has been loosing human warmth and friendliness. No smile nor nice greetings from the employees. I get it that you can have a bad day once but this starts to be the norm at Dear Diary. I still want to support this woman-owned business and I enjoy the cute art stuffs displayed, I just wish the people were more welcoming.

The food is delicious and locally made with dietary restrictions in mind. The baristas are always kind and the owner is the best! She makes their own oat milk!! It used to have a lot of seating, but now they are a mini market of sorts for local artists, which is fabulous for anyone who has something to share.

I very rarely leave negative reviews, so consider this both a warning for customers and a piece of advice for owners.
Don’t get the tacos. I realize this is a coffee shop and not a taco shop, but if you want food just get a donut. The tacos are 1 pretty flavorless and more importantly 2 wrapped in paper. Why are we wrapping tacos in paper you guys ?? They stuck to the paper and not only fell apart, but then tasted like paper. Literally such an easy fix, just use aluminum foil (the paper isn’t even recyclable because food sticks to it, and frankly recycling metal is better for the environment anyway if that’s what you’re going for).
My biggest red flag in coffee shops is paper cups in a dine-in setting. They quite literally sell mugs and ceramics and stuff, why am I drinking coffee out of paper in the shop?
The space is a little awkward. Between the somewhat cramped shelves where they sell things, there’s not much room for tables. Despite this, they really packed in as many tables as possible. With this many tables you’d expect there to be a ton of people, but most of them were empty (even on a Saturday morning). Easy fix, lose a table.
Positives: the spiced vanilla thing is good, and the donut is actually quite good. I was very pleasantly surprised by the donut. Staff was pleasant.

This cafe is really nice. They have a lot of local art, good drinks, and a very peaceful vibe. My barista was Colleen. They were very pleasant and I saw them being kind towards everyone they interacted with. Would definitely come back.

This place is awesome! Great snacks, coffee, staff, and local art for sale. Miles made me this amazing iced black matcha latte, which I'd never heard of before. I don't think it's on the menu but I super recommend it. It's like matcha but made with Earl Grey instead of green tea.

Dear Diary is a wonderful, community focused place with wonderful staff who care about the people who walk in the door (s/o to Miles!). Love the drink selections and the ability to purchase cute, one of a kind gifts when I’m in a pinch. Thanks for providing a place for artists and musicians!

Very cute place, great staff, and atmosphere. They have little pop ups with vendors so that's cool. I was not a fan of the drip coffee, at all. The coffee wasn't tasty and the milk seemed clotted.
I'll be sure to go back and try something else but until then, i couldn't warrant a 5 star review
