I thought it was pretty good and was a different environment to grab a coffee. A friend and I went on a Sunday morning, so it was pretty busy and we had to wait a little bit to find a seat. We found street parking on Ingersoll and had a short walk over which didn't bother us, but I can understand how parking is an issue during busier times. My friend and I both enjoyed our drinks but weren't blown away. I also tried the breakfast burrito which was okay, but I probably wouldn't order again. I was hoping to try the breakfast sandwich but they were sold out. I liked this shop, but it is not a place I would go out of my way for.

Weird interaction with the workers here.. ordered a cappuccino and but got a flat white. When I…read morenicely asked if I could have a cappuccino I was rudely spoken to and told a flat white is a cappuccino. Huh? Definitely had me second guessing so I quietly went back to work but I later looked it up and it's not the same thing.. i don't think I'll be coming back here.

Adorable hidden gem in Iowa!…read more Stopped by Mayalu with my dad while road-tripping from the East Coast to the West, and we were both pleasantly surprised. We each grabbed a large cold brew--mine with a splash of 2% milk and sugar-free caramel--and they were delicious and refreshing for the road ahead. The cold brew was on the lighter side, but still smooth and enjoyable. The baristas were so kind and welcoming, and the interior? Even better than I expected. Cozy seating, cute decor, and a peaceful ambiance with some unique touches (like floor seating by the window!). You can tell a lot of thought went into creating a warm and inviting space. Whether you're a local or just passing through like we were, Mayalu is definitely worth checking out. Would recommend for great coffee and good vibes!

But even worse than that, stop being so cheap and get LARGER usable paper coffee cups. The little hotel coffee cups don't cut it. I see people over fill and spill all over and guess what - the employees say it happens all the time! So here's a hint - if you want to be a respectable coffee spot - get the damn proper coffee cups and stop being so cheap with less than 12oz cups.

Needless to say this spot deserves all its flowers because the coffee is phenomenal. I was greeted instantly by the people behind the counter. They were friendly and it was full of people who were also super friendly. It is a small cozy space with tons of other drinks and cool products to pick from. I had a hot pistachio honey oat latte and I savored it for a few hours because it was really that good. The coffee had a fruity and nutty taste that made my taste buds so happy. The pistachio and honey mix was the perfect combination. Can't wait to go back to try more!

Menu selections are vast. Coffee was excellent tasting and strong. Service was fantastic, answering questions and giving suggestions. We got coffee as well as muffins (get the blueberry) and I also opted for the ooey gooey grill cheese sandwich. I will say that was good but not excellent. Was it a grill cheese...yes. it was a good size and hit the spot, but not special or flavorful like most coffee places opt for with their versions. Make sure you go the restrooms when you visit bc it's clean and super cute.
