They have their main menu as well as some seasonal specials. They seem to specialize in coffee drinks but also have some tea & food/pastry options. When I visited, I ordered the Iced Whiskey Vanilla Latte. The staff member mentioned it was a popular drink and made in house but the flavor was rather subtle and appeared to be prebatched. My husband got a Hot Chai Latte which was pretty good! This spot could benefit from having more syrup flavors to add to standard products to give customers more variety. Either way, I'm happy I visited.

They had some summer specials that caught my eye. I chose the iced coconut cookie latte. Unfortunately, I felt like it was was watered down. I could barely taste the coconut or any other flavor to it. Might have just been just a miss for that day. It happens. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but I'd try it again. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

The beans were ground in front of us and the ratio seemed perfect. My barista took her time, measured the heated water, measured the grounds, and set her scale. The initial pour was allowed to bloom and the remaining water was slowly added. This Bali coffee was outstanding.

As I started getting serious with my pour over experiments, I needed a good grinder, and I ended up…read moreat Fresh Ground Roasting's website for the best prosumer grinder: Baratza Virtuoso+. FGR curates an excellent selection of coffee gear, coffee's and provides free shipping. I was especially impressed by Eric, his responsiveness to my questions, and his knowledge of brewing different methods of coffee. While Baratza was delayed in shipping my order, Eric kept me informed and expedited the order with a Baratza rep. He even took some time to explain brewing techniques and recommended a scale that saved me $$, even though they did not stock it themselves. On receiving the order, there was a minor defect in a silicon gasket, and Eric immediately ordered a free replacement with Baratza. Despite living in San Francisco, I will recommend FGR for their great selection of artisan coffees and brew gear, excellent customer service that goes beyond lip service. I trust them, and after my positive experience and will continue to shop and endorse. Thank you Eric.

They were your regukar flavors except for Lemon White chocolate. i bought 1 of each along with their cranberry walnut scone. If you like the thin cooked that spread and remain soft, these will work for you. I need crispy edges at least. The scone was a very sad, depressed lump. After my first taste, i broke off pieces around the edge (pictures included) and you will see a cranberry walnut scone bereft of cranberries. There was NO TASTE of the dried fruit, even when i picked one out, it was a tiny teardrop of a possibility of the tart/sweet dried gem normally enjoyed. (maybe they should be macerated in orange juice or eben cranberry juice). oh! the walnuts were large nice pieces but with the horrible raw-flour taste overpowering even the mighty walnut, the lump could not be redeemed.

I normally get a very small bag loose leaf which will last me for couple months which is fine. Went in for a replenishment and asked for little bit bigger bag.

Well she starts stuffing a 9x5 plastic bag to the top so full, fast half it fell on floor. Lot of tea wasted! By the time I got over to see, I exclaimed on no way too much!
