Customer Reviews
I had bookmarked because I saw on instagram they had latte flights! Came with a friend and the server who toon my order was friendly and very helpful! They let me order decaf and my favorite was the Cuban dulce de leche followed by the dirty horchata. I got the Cuban sandwich which was delicious. I came back a few days later and tried the hot honey breakfast sandwich (chef’s kiss) - crispy bacon, egg cooked perfectly to my request, super soft brioche bread. And I got a second Cuban dulce de leche latte because it was so good! Everyone was super friendly both times I went! I wish I had their names so I could give them a shout out!
We visited on a weekend afternoon, and although it was busy, there was only one barista working. Desserts, coffee, and ice cream came out at very different times, which disrupted the flow of the meal. An espresso drink took about 70 minutes to arrive and was already cold, though the flavor itself was decent. Having one or two additional baristas would likely help. On weekends, if you want desserts and drinks to arrive together, it’s best to clearly ask and check how long it will take. The outdoor seating has a nice atmosphere, but the indoor seating may not be ideal for families with kids due to tight spacing and uncomfortable chairs.
I definitely have a new favorite coffee place! I had the turkey apple butter sandwich and an affogato with dark chocolate gelato (thanks other reviews for pointing me to it!) and everything was DELICIOUS. Honestly, I wanted to order one of everything on the menu, EVERYTHING sounded so good, especially the winter seasonal stuff! I need to keep coming back so I can try everything. They bring the food and the drinks out to you when you stay there, and the affogato comes on a little tray with the gelato in the glass and the espresso in the little pot they brewed it in, so you can pour the espresso in yourself and get that fresh hot-cold experience. They also have free water and the guy even brought me more napkins when he saw that the one I had wasn't sufficient. XD And they play jazz music, w
We got the coffee flight and the lattes were really good! I would go back for the cardamom vanilla latte - I usually don’t get specialty lattes but it was easily one of the best lattes I’ve had. The atmosphere is very cozy.
A really nice little coffee shop that has breakfast foods, baked goods, and gelato all day long. Food and coffee were both good and the atmosphere is perfect for hanging out for a casual get together or brunch date. Would recommend checking out
