Came here for the first time and decided to try the passion fruit smoothie. The flavor itself was…read morepretty good at first, but the smoothie started separating almost immediately which made the texture kind of weird. I had to keep mixing it while drinking it and after a while it just wasn't that enjoyable. I probably wouldn't order that smoothie again. The place itself was cute and pretty busy when we went, but the line moved fast and our drinks came out quickly. There were also a good amount of places to sit. I could see it being a nice spot to grab coffee or a drink with a friend, but I'd probably try something different next time. Overall an okay experience, just wasn't a huge fan of the smoothie.

Stopped into Iconic Coffee for a quick pick me up and was pleasantly satisfied…read more The cafe is nicely decorated, is full of positive affirmations, has a fair amount of high-top tables, and a few regular tables. The Manager/owner went above and beyond to make us comfortable, was genuinely happy to create our selections, and added to the enjoyment of the visit. The beverage items were: Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (Espresso swirled with brown sugar, cinnamon, and milk). I really enjoyed this beverage. It was served in a large glass and the presentation was appealing. It showed the flavorful espresso at the bottom 1/4 of the glass and after mixing it all together.....wow! The next choice was the Mocha Latte, with slim milk. The only thing I'll mention about this drink was, that it was the best they've ever had, annnnnnnnd they've had a lot of them. Thank you, Iconic Coffee, for creating a business with a welcoming atmosphere and a relaxing ambience. I'll happily return and will gladly spread the word. :-)

What really stood out was the attentiveness of the staff--they genuinely made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. I ordered the breakfast burrito along with a vanilla, honey, cinnamon latte with espresso. The burrito was different from what I'm used to--instead of being filled with potatoes, the sausage was the highlight. It was packed with flavor, very saucy, and incredibly filling. I loved the unique twist. My friend ordered the avocado toast (without egg) and the chickpea salad sandwich. Both looked fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We also enjoyed our lattes, which were smooth and perfectly balanced with the vanilla, honey, cinnamon, and espresso. Overall, Sugar Tree Café offers delicious food, excellent coffee, charming décor, and attentive service. If you're looking for a cozy café with a menu that puts a creative spin on classic breakfast and lunch items, this is definitely worth a visit.

I went on a weekend and despite minimal staff, they got my drinks out quickly! There are so many other flavors to choose from like houjicha, pandan and ube! It was hard to not try them all! Loved that there are so many options and they're beautifully crafted! Plus, they can toast and warm flaky pastries like an apple turnover and a blueberry one which pairs so well with their drinks! The cafe has big windows for natural light and comfy seats - perfect to work from or hang out with friends!!

I stop by Coffee Break a few times a week for a breakfast sandwich and a latte. So far, I only know Isabella (Bella) by name but she's a total sweetheart.

A business that was built on love & family values has translated beautifully into the space, with no detail missed. In my extremely humble opinion, the menu has range & has zero misses, no matter what time of day you're visiting. If you're there for breakfast, do NOT miss the loaded tots - they are criminally delicious! No matter what you order off the menu, you will not be disappointed - but if you ask me, the Drunken Nic is the way to go. If you ask my fiancé, he'd lay everything on the line for Trish's Steak & Bake ... but don't take our word for it, go try them yourself! The Secret Garden also offers a rotating, seasonal menu of cafe creations along with menu staples - did somebody say Teddy Graham latte?? Truly a masterpiece.

From the second we walked in we were greeted by such a friendly staff. After looking at the menu I started with an iced chai latte and YUM.

Also ordered "the tipsy nic" which is a vodka chicken parm that was perfectly saucy yet each bite had a nice crunch of the chicken cutlet.
