Capital Perks Espresso

They have a great variety of sugar-free syrups and they even have the option of adding protein to your drinks. They were so kind and they suggested my drink since it was my first time and it was delicious.

I really wanted to love this spot and gave it several tries, ordering different drinks on multiple visits. Unfortunately, the pricing just doesn’t feel aligned with the value. For comparison, my usual 20-oz drink with alternative milk at other local coffee shops stays under $7, but here a 16-oz drink with alternative milk comes out to $8. At that price point, I’d expect something exceptional, and for me, the coffee didn’t quite deliver. The stand is convenient and I appreciate having another local option, but between the cost and my experiences with both drinks and service, it’s not one I see myself returning to regularly.

I asked for a surprise sugar free lotus WITH cream. I got a delicious surprise lotus but it definitely wasn’t sugar free and there was no cream. I got my husband a hot coffee and it was cold. I ordered the lunch sandwich and the bread was very very hard.

Good coffee but quit going there when I learned every drink regardless of size comes with one shot. Too many good options in town to be spending extra for a second shot when it’s common elsewhere to have two if not three shots in a 16 or 20oz.

Today was my first time going here even though I live close by. The young woman who helped me was so pleasant, friendly, and relaxed I was inspired to write this review. I ordered an English toffee latte, and the syrup wasn't strong at all, which I liked. Sometimes places make it so syrupy it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. This one was good. My son liked his hot chocolate, and our barista even gave him some sprinkles. Will go again for sure.
