My favorites are the macaroons, the sugar cookies, the brownies and they have a key lime tart that's incredible. Everything I have tried has been wonderful and balanced and fresh. I often order their pastries for the holidays and they are a wild hit with anyone who tries a bite. They offer a lot of catering options for small to large events and the price point isn't terrible at all. I really love their bakery and the owners are wonderful.

This is a huge store with a bunch of different rooms/spaces to sit in, including an outdoor patio which was very cute. I did not study here, but it would be a great spot. Lots of seating and outlets. They have monthly seasonal drinks which they post on their Instagram. I decided to get the seasonal purple cow cold brew and it was good. I personally don't love cold brew, but it tasted good, just very light. They also have a bunch of other coffee shop drinks along with food and smoothies. I would definitely come back here if I was in the area! There is also a large parking lot.

They also have seasonal lemonades. I also tried their strawberry basil lemonade. The strawberry basil lemonade despite its name did not have any basil in it but instead had a little bit of mint. This might have been an oversight of the worker but I didn't mind. The staff here are very friendly and quick with making your drinks. The cafe is clean and well decorated. There is both indoor and outdoor seating here. The cafe is located in a little plaza with a parking lot but it can get full pretty quickly! The cafe is very popular and opens pretty early.

This is an aggressively overpriced, gimmick-driven operation that prioritizes social-media optics…read moreover competence, safety, or coffee quality. The entire setup feels careless and amateurish, from the chaotic workflow to the lack of basic crowd and traffic control. The parking situation is not just inconvenient--it's unsafe. With no barriers, no clear flow, and vehicles cutting through pedestrian areas, it's shocking that no serious incident has occurred yet. Operational standards are poor. Sanitation practices are questionable, including uncovered ice being transported from outdoor areas after being placed on the ground. That alone should concern anyone paying premium prices. The drinks themselves are little more than sugar delivery systems with a token splash of espresso. Flavor is buried under syrups and sweeteners, masking what appears to be low-quality coffee. Nothing here feels original; it's a collection of copied concepts executed badly. Service is slow, the product is inconsistent, and the pricing is unjustifiable. This isn't a serious coffee shop--it's a novelty stand selling sugar and spectacle at inflated prices. Better coffee, faster service, and safer conditions can be found almost anywhere else, for far less money.
