I would like to try some of the other coffee items one day. They also had an array of pastries that looked absolutely divine and would love to try out next time.

Breakfast is served anytime the store is open. Specialty coffee drinks-I enjoyed a flavorful, mellow Latte. Excellent! There's a limited variety of bakery goods, the jalapeño scone and chocolate babka were very good. Sourdough bread loaves are available, but the chocolate sourdough loaves must be ordered three days in advance-but trust me, it's delicious and well worth the wait! (Chocolate bread can be ordered by phone.) I also tried the egg, bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich, it was tasty and quite filling.

Coffee - smoothies - toast options I went with a small cold brew and dang that coffee was strong! I don't remember the name of the toast I got, but it had peanut butter, almonds, honey, and banana. So tasty! Plenty of seating, with tables, score! 2 gender neutral bathrooms available. Definitely one of the better coffee spots I've checked out in awhile. I will definitely return if I'm in the area.

I also grabbed a muffin, and it was just as good, fresh and the perfect little addition to go with my drink. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. It has such a comfortable and relaxed vibe, and it feels like a place you can actually spend time in, not just grab something and leave. Everything about it felt easy and enjoyable. This is also a really great place to work from home for a few hours. There is plenty of space to sit, a good atmosphere for getting things done, and lots of parking which makes it super easy to pop in and stay a while without any stress. You guys definitely need to try this place if you are in the area. I will definitely be back and can already see this becoming a go to spot.

The staff was very friendly but the issue came when we ordered large coffees and to fix the size issue, they just poured milk into the original coffee in a larger cup. The drink tasted like cream, no coffee taste, little other flavors. Basically just a cup of milk, very underwhelming for what we expected. It sounds like potentially an isolated incident, but definitely disappointing

Upon entering there were a lot of different aromas wafting through the air; incense, coffee beans and fresh spices. Greeted right away. Walked around and took some pictures. Sampled fresh brewed Arabian coffee and a honey almond cake. Very nice flavors. There were also coffee husks on the counter. I had to inquire about their purpose; boy did I get a lesson. You brew one tablespoon per day and drink it as a tea. If you must use a sweetener it can only be honey. Coffee husks are good for headaches, menstrual cramps, inflammation, weight loss and more. I purchased a half pound for 3$. I'll let you know. I also purchased coffee for my husband. I love the way they grind the blend; extra dark beans, light beans, cardamom and cloves. The bag smelled so good. I'll let you know. As I headed to the front to check out, I was given a dried mango slice. I truly enjoyed my shopping experience and will be happy to return for some fresh ground spices.

The coffee offerings are so vast it'd be too long to list here but they run from gourmet drip to standard americano.

Their cheese sandwiches are OUTSTANDING, and the hot sauce on the side is the only way to eat them.

This time, although that sign was still up over one menu, the rest of them were not. So, I took a chance and ordered it. I asked for half sugar, because I usually ask for 25%, but I figured with matcha frappe, I might need a little. It turned out good, but I think I expected more of the creme brulee to be present, and that was my mistake. It was mainly a matcha frappe (matcha and ice blended together) with a hint of the creme brulee along the side. By 1/3 of the way down, my mouth was numb from the cold. I probably won't order this one again, at least not in 30 F weather- haha. My partner got the same drink as last time, except this time he ordered a large. He got the brown sugar milk tea; 50% sugar; little ice. Add creme brulee topping. That was delicious, just like last time. The people working here are very sweet. I'm not sure if they are a family, but they seem like it. They work very well as a unit with the young woman at the register, and the elder man and woman making the drinks. The inside is cute. There is one small table and two benched areas with various designs on the walls, and the toy machines toward the back. We are planning to come here more often and try other flavors!
