The space is big and super cute inside, making it a great spot to get some work done or just hang out. The staff is really nice, service is quick, and the coffee quality is consistently solid. I also love that they're always rotating in new syrups and seasonal flavors, so there's always something new to try. They have a scratch kitchen too, and everything looks amazing.. can't wait to come back and try the food next time!

I've probably been here 20+ times since my first review because this has become one of my favorite…read morecoffee shops for my sons and me. I honestly went back and forth on whether I needed to update this review, because there's a lot to love about this place. The quality of the food and coffee is consistently great, and the space itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed. That said, I still can't give it 5 stars due to service gaps. There isn't a designated person clearing or wiping tables, so when you're lucky enough to get one, you have to track down someone behind the counter ~ usually in the middle of cashiering or making drinks ~ to ask for it to be cleaned. Also, every single time food is brought out, utensils are never included. I truly like this place and it remains one of my regular spots for breakfast or brunch, and I'll continue coming back. I just hope the owners read these reviews and take this feedback to heart, because with small service improvements, this place could easily be a 5-star experience.

The atmosphere is cute and decorated like you're in a Tulum restaurant. The music is great and they were even playing bad bunny! The shop has tons of seats and is a great spot to get studying done!

I do like studying here, there's plenty of outlets and even a quiet room if you need deep focus. I ended up getting one of their spring specials, the Hunny Bunny Latte, which is flavored lavender and honey. It actually tasted pretty good, and definitely on the sweeter side in terms of lattes. I liked how they really played into the theme, adding whipped cream (they asked me first if I wanted it), colorful sprinkles, and even a lil paper bunny in my mug! Made me feel special. They fill the mug to the brim, so you're definitely not getting skimped on. The only difficulty about coming here is that it's hard to find parking (always ended up doing paid street parking) and sometimes it can get quite busy depending on the day.

Where do I even begin. We waited over 20 minutes before our waiter even acknowledged our table--no…read moregreeting, no water, nothing. For the rest of the night, service was consistently inattentive and painfully slow, with long waits for even the most basic things. We eventually had to ask for the manager because the service was completely unacceptable, and shockingly, nothing improved after speaking with him. To make matters worse, we informed the staff upon arrival that one of our guests was celebrating a birthday, which was entirely forgotten. To top it all off, an automatic service charge was added that made absolutely no sense given the level of service we received and removed our ability to tip in a way that reflected our experience. Overall, this was an extremely disappointing visit and far below any reasonable standard of hospitality.

If DI sponsors it, I'd get the logo tattooed on me…read more I love this place. The happiest and most welcoming staff. They will walk you through the whole menu if you let them, also they all do a great job of getting things out fast and quick (despite having big lines at times) From food to drinks they have just about everything you can imagine. Cubans, pastries, quiches and every syrup for your coffee you could want. Also, they do jazz nights on Friday with a live band. You pair that with the 20 bottle wine dispenser, you can have yourself a night. DI coffee bar is the best. Hands down.

I ordered a brown butter blueberry muffin, smoked salmon bagel, and the Freddo Spro. The blueberry muffin was decent but nothing worth writing home about. Wouldn't go out of my way to order it again. The smoked salmon bagel was great. I really enjoyed this and would definitely recommend! The Freddo Spro was awesome! I would absolutely order this again and was very impressed by it. I typically prefer a pretty simple iced latte, but this was a fun and different drink, without being anything too out of the ordinary. Overall, the place was clean, baristas were kind, service was fast, and I would come back!
