Pretty chill spot. Great food and great location. Just never felt super welcome coming there. That’s the only thing they could improve

Fantastic place! I had a late breakfast (amazing empanada and a breakfast taco) with cold brew coffee. Flavors were all top notch, great service, good vibe overall.

I really like the environment. There's plenty of seating with bars, round tables, smaller two person tables, and comfy chairs to accommodate you and whatever sort of group you come in with. The large windows provide great ambient light without having the sun shine in. There is a modern and sort of rugged feel, with lots of metal, wood, and leather decorating the place. It's busy without feeling cluttered or claustrophobic. The cortado is light bodied and a little bit more milky than I prefer. It's also a little bit beany. It isn't my favorite, but I definitely wouldn't mind coming for the ambiance. The siphon was a very unique experience. Probably the most interesting coffee I've had (not necessarily my favorite, but it was good). It is very tea-like in that it has a strong flavor and is still kind of watery. The flavor evolves over time as it cools, and I really liked it when it was closer to room temperature surprisingly. It also doesn't leave you with any coffee breath which is always nice. I would definitely recommend to people who really like coffee, especially because it's made to be consumed black. Definitely not if you prefer lots of cream and sugar.

Finally got to try this place, it's always got a full parking lot. The coffee is really good. Got caramel lattes and cappuccino. Prices are comparable to other ma and Pa coffee shops. Not a whole lot of seating so want to be early. Few spots outside for nice days. Few choices for items to eat. Staff was friendly. Recommend this place if they aren't crowded when you arrive or you may be standing while waiting for a seat.

I make an effort to come here when I’m in town. I really enjoy the vibe, the space, the food, and mainly, the siphon. Always has been a 5-star experience.
However, today (at 12:15pm) I was told to come back because they were too busy to prepare their namesake. I mentioned I was from out of town and even offered to wait for it to slow down a bit. The staff was friendly about it, but didn’t offer anything for my inconvenience. They simply said to come back when it’s slower.
I ordered a macchiato and sat. It came up quick and I happily drank it. I remained for 30 minutes and for the 25 of those there was absolutely no line.
I write this post as a warning that if you plan to come for a siphon, don’t expect to get one especially if you’re traveling from across town or out of town.

I had a rose cardamom coffee with an extra shot...and cold foam? Yes, cold foam. Disgusting cold foam that I didn't asked for. Coffee barely tasted like rose cardamom. No, the extra shot shouldn't overpower it. I've done it before with lavender coffee elsewhere.
Service is lacking... I avoid Starbucks but after this, I rather go there.
Outdoor space and bathroom were good. Indoor seating feels tight, not much space to walk around.
I will definitely avoid this place.

Good coffee (although little too big on the milk in the latte, very weak), but amazing empanadas, potentially the best I’ve ever had.
Great vibe/decor in there and friendly staff -0 highly recommend

Siphon has lovely coffee (the cereal milk latte is cool!) and the food is really good too! I had "El Grande Taco" with spinach and beans for breakfast. It was a great, quick way to start the day. The outdoor seating area is also delightful when it's not too hot outside. A good place to sit and study or hang out with friends. Highly recommend!

The vibe here is great. Been a while since I last visited. The ladies that work behind the counter have a wonderful aura about them. Lots of of genuine positive energy.
Enjoyed my ice cold brewed coffee.

The place is friendly and very good vibes. A lot of setting areas and the staff attended our order fast. We liked the Cortado coffee but the siphon wasn’t as expected.
