My new favorite coffee spot! I'm currently in my pandan obsession era and this place does it RIGHT…read more I've already been back more times than I can count. So far, I've tried the pandan, the brown sugar, and the sesame latte all iced w/ oat milk and they've all been a hit. The pandan is easily my fave, but if you're trying the brown sugar and don't love super sweet drinks I'd recommend adding an extra shot to balance it out. The drinks are consistently good and you can tell they really care about the quality. It's one of those spots you keep thinking about and end up going back to without even planning it. Customer service was solid and there's plenty of seating, which makes it a nice place to hang out or get some work done. Parking was also easy, which is always a win. Highly recommend checking this place out especially if you're a pandan lover like me!

Public Square has been closed since April after staff walked out and eventually quit due to unpaid…read morewages. Unfortunately, this place was on the decline leading up to these events. It would usually take a half hour to get a simple drink order. Food that was previously wow turned into meh (I'm looking at you, shashuka). I don't blame the baristas. I don't think the business owners ever properly streamlined their ordering process / menu to get items out effectively. I hope we get something nice to replace this space.

I also tried their vanilla chai this time around, and it was perfect! It's made from a powder rather than steeped tea, but it's a great sweet chai. They have lots of drink options, a variety of pastries, and plenty of seating. The cafe is super cute and cozy, and we'll definitely be back for the Turkish hazelnut coffee!

I had the Hazelnut Turkish Coffee, cold brew and my wife enjoyed the Matcha. My favorite was the Hazelnut Turkish Coffee. It hit the spot. There was a DJ and pumpkins decorating.

The place is a little small but there's still a decent amount of seating and everything was very clean. The gentleman working was extremely friendly and helpful. While we were there, a couple of people stopped in just to say hi and chat with him. I'm assuming he's the owner or manager but either way, it's clear he's well liked by the community, which is always nice to see. Overall, a cute, welcoming little spot with great customer service!

I was ready to go preach on the street. It was *that* good. We're talking coffee Reformation. The whiskey latte (iced with oatmilk) was transcendent. Absolutely life-giving. It was perfect on every level. The flavor was incredible. (Usually if I get a large drink, I have some leftover for later, but not this time.) Completely ruined *all* other coffee shops for me. (Except Honey Haven! Haha) I cannot wait to go back.

I get it every single time im here. I'd also recommend the Mexican iced chocolate latte. It's also strong yet sweetened to perfection. The service here is always good and the employees always greet you. I like to come here to study and just sit outside to take in the morning air. I love the view of cowles mountain as well. It's a great spot if you wanna study, they have free wifi if you purchase something so that's a plus. I recommend trying the cinnamon roll latte!

I like the roasting profile they use, and for a while, they've stocked a Costa Rica Sonora Black-Honey Natural that is just fantastic. Joe Paraiso, the owner, is a very experienced coffee purveyor, and he's been incredibly kind to me, sharing his time and knowledge to make sure I get what I want. And, not for nothing, when I'm at Brew Coffee Spot picking up the beans I ordered online, I always have a coffee. Joe either does a great job of training his baristas, or he's REALLY good at hiring talent, or both. Seriously... his folks make my coffees, usually a cortado or a straight espresso, with a downtown San Francisco or Rome level of competence.

The spicy muffin as a breakfast sandwich is not too spicy has just the right amount of spice- the eggs taste fresh any breakfast sandwich with some cheese and bacon is an added bonus for a delicious English muffin! The environment is super cute and friendly. It's a nice cool zone because they do not skimp on the AC. There's a TV with games on for ones viewing pleasure and music playing lightly in the background. System all around here. Investing for customers and ample seating. They have a great selection of the variety of laborers to choose from coffees, smoothies, and they have matcha. This is going to be one of my new favorite spots when I wanna treat myself and I can't wait to try more or anything that they recommend from there!

We came to spacebar cafe for a local comedy show. The parking lot is very small and the parking…read morespots are small as well. Inside the café it is very dim and there is a big line of people waiting to place an order at the car area. There are tables with people and it was fairly busy. Unfortunately, there was only one person running the register, making drinks, and running orders to tables. We finally were able to place our order. My husband order a pinot noir from France and a lemon bar, I ordered a large iced mocha and a cheesecake. We paid and went to look for a table(my friend reserved a table, but someone stole it). Our food and drinks arrived at our table. We noticed that the receipt said pinot noir from california, the barista must have rang up and served the wrong one. My husband didn't want to complain, so he just drank it. My iced mocha was delicious, I even saved about half of it for the next day and it was still really good. My cheecake was huge and I loved the sauce that was on top. I was disappointed that the cheesecake was still a little frozen/frosty in the middle. My husband liked his lemon bar but seemed store bought. Overall we had a couple inconveniences but we still had a good time.

Calling All Pink Lovers! ...this is the place for you!…read more The Pink Rose Cafe is so cute! It's fun and definitely a place for many photo ops! It was our first time here and I wanted to take my daughter somewhere different and unique. She thinks she is a young lady now so she wants to do coffee dates with me and her Dad. The flowers on the wall are eye catching and enhances the pink color. The cashier was super sweet and very helpful when it came to us ordering our drinks. She wanted to make sure my daughter got the perfect drink. I got the Spiked Brown Sugar Latte and she got the French Vanilla Kiss. They both were very tasty. Thanks to Pink Rose Cafe, now she wants to decorate her new room like this. Lol
