The folks taking our order were so sweet and helpful. After you order, you can browse the shop, find a little nook to hang out in while you enjoy your drinks or sit outside. My strawberry matcha cloud was soooooo good. Not too sweet and the foam was delicious. My husband's cold brew was great. We took ours to-go, but next time, we'll stay a little longer to enjoy the vibes.

Great place. The…read moretomato-basil soup is reasonably priced and delicious, served with a nice garlic bread. Cheerful, friendly staff. Great ambience. The missing star is for the prices. Maybe they are economically justified by inflation, but they seem extreme even accounting for inflation. Makes one think of gasoline prices, which "go up like a rocket and come down like a feather." We have not had extreme inflation for a few years now. Well, I guess that's what the market will bear in this affluent little town. In any case, management takes a bit of the sting out of the high prices by offering several modestly priced sides.

I always get the tomato soup which is really good. This location has lots of space for seating, including an outdoor parklet. It can get quite busy in the summertime with all the mountain bikers. I wish they were open later; they used to be open until 6 now it's 5. In the summertime when it's still sunny out that seems so early which is a shame.

The coffee is definitely not good enough to put up with being treated poorly. One employee in particular has overcharged me on several occasions and then given me attitude when I brought it up. The afternoon crew is much more friendly. Also I don't appreciate how they never answer the phone and they post political signage all over the windows and store. It's annoying and offensive and I'm glad they're starting to be more different options nearby.

If you want just a simple walk by place or a place to rest your buns without fuss while waiting for your other half to grocery shop, this is it. And she has some pastries too!

Wonderful single origin coffees available -pour over style as well as a variety of various espresso drinks, and tea. In the back is the master roaster machinery, and a nice lounge with pinball machines to hang out in and create conversation with other patrons. The staff is real knowledgeable and real personable and frequently make me laugh, and they know their product very well and will share information with the consumer. It's OK to ask a question and they won't yell at you if you want cream in your coffee. They do keep it behind the counter in the refrigerator, by request only. For some reason, coffee always taste better to me on site than at home. Maybe it's the temperature of the water, maybe it's just the ambience and the brief conversation? I don't know but I prefer to have my cup outside of the home. I'm a rather social being. The owner has a knack for hiring, competent, talented and friendly staff! Truly the BEST coffee anywhere, seriously...... maybe that's why they won so many awards?! Beans are available daily and frequently with half-price sale on your second bag. A great gift to send somebody in a different city, throw in a T-shirt or other swag while you're at it. I found that relatives and friends really dig stuff from the Bay Area. There are a variety of "at home barista"accoutrements available for sale to include the lovely Chemex glass coffee maker. Grinders, scales, etc. A coffee paraphernalia shop- "legal speed". Check out the pastry case with some local favorite bakeries representing. In closing, five stars throughout*****! Now get over there, I hope I got something started for you......

I loved the…read moreatmosphere, especially the pinball machines, and I was excited to recommend this place to my friends. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I ordered an iced mocha with oat milk during a busy time and waited about 20-30 minutes. While I was waiting, I noticed several customers who ordered after me received their drinks. I went up to the counter to ask about my order, and the cashier seemed confused. The barista remembered making my drink and believed someone may have accidentally taken it since there had been a drink sitting on the pickup counter for a while. The barista told me he would remake my drink and even offered the drink to another customer instead of discarding it. However, he continued making other orders before remaking mine. Just as I was about to ask for a refund, I finally received my coffee. I understand that mistakes happen, especially during busy periods, but better communication and order tracking would have made a big difference. Unfortunately, my first experience left a bad impression. As much as I liked the atmosphere, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this coffee shop based on the service I received.
