Also I love love love the Turkish representation, it's beautiful to see. However I got a classic Turkish tea and a single piece of baklava for ~$9.

And it kind of looks like a convenience store from the inside. But if you look deeper into the interior, you'll see an ordering counter and a kitchen. That's because the Twisted Café REALLY is a café. It's open every single day from 7AM - 10PM serving breakfast bagel and croissant sandwiches, breakfast toasts, bowls, pastries, smoothies, specialty sandwiches, teas and coffees. There are racks of potato chips and the like, refrigerated cases with soda, juices, beer, energy drinks, and a few grocery items. There are a few tables and chairs inside and a few outside in the courtyard next to the Infinity hotel. We were two of a dozen relatives staying at Infinity, all in town for a wedding. Our group made quite a few trips into the Twisted Café for snacks , drinks, breakfast, sandwiches, etc. The day of the wedding, we didn't want a big lunch, so my wife and I split a Veggie Delight Sandwich ($14) with Hummus, avocado, provolone cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, everything bagel seeds, tomatoes, and arugula on toasted ciabatta bread. It was really loaded up thick with all of those goodies and was an excellent value for the price, quantity and quality. A bag of chips was $1.99 and a Cappuccino was $5. Pretty reasonable pricing as well. The service was excellent, from the cheerful gent at the morning counter to the smiling young lady at the afternoon counter. There is a big screen TV on their exterior wall facing the courtyard, and we saw a group of soccer fans watching the World Cup! That seemed very appropriate given the "community vibes" we felt at the Twisted Café.

The coffee was solid (iced vanilla lavender latte & iced vanilla pistachio latte though the lavender in the vanilla latte was very light). The bagel did not come toasted (not sure if this is something you have to ask for or if it's even an option) but would've for sure tasted better toasted. Very small shop with cute green cushions...can seat maybe 8-10 ppl inside. Conveniently located across a hotel so if you're staying there, this is a nice spot.

They offer free wifi. I tried the pandan matcha. If you like pandan, would recommend trying it. It's not too sweet, but the pandan flavor overpowers the taste of the matcha. Also tried the kopi ginger. The ginger adds a little kick to the coffee, but its not too bitter since there is palm sugar added to the coffee. I asked to reduce the sugar and they were able to do so. Staff is super friendly and willing to provide recommendations if you have a hard time deciding. Will be coming back to this place to try the other drinks and food options.

As soon as I walked in, the staff greeted me right away. Everyone was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly.

I'm a big espresso tonic fan, so my expectations were high and this one did not disappoint. It had a bright citrus flavor, was perfectly balanced, and wasn't overly sweet. I'd definitely come back again. Great service, great vibe, and great coffee!

I've tried a lot of matcha lattes and I'd say that this one is up there in the ones I've had--I really enjoyed how it wasn't overly sweet and that you can really taste the matcha in it. My husband said he liked how smooth his cold brew was and that you can taste the notes of the coffee. The store itself is pretty small and has very limited seating. It is located right off the water though so it's the perfect spot to pick up some caffeine to take on a stroll. There was a bit of a line when we went, but it moved pretty quickly. Service was average. Overall, I'd highly recommend Equator and would definitely come back if I'm in the area.

Our drinks were both quite unique, and I can't wait to come back to try the rest of their specialty menu!

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

Welcome to Coffee Heaven in the form of a gigantic coffee roaster, 25 varieties of coffee beans in vintage coffee dispensers, bags of coffee beans everywhere, and murals of classical Renaissance-inspired figures guarding the coffee. A group of us walked over from our hotel for breakfast. I had a toasted Everything bagel with cream cheese (plain is the sole choice) and jelly and of course a cup of their coffee. Everything was reasonably priced and I enjoyed my humble breakfast as much as I enjoyed the vibes and décor of this pretty sweet place.
