This is a busy coffee house where patrons sit, talk, read, stay on their laptops, and relax. It's a…read moregood kind of busy, the kind that says it's a place where you want to just settle in and sip your coffee. First time to come here was challenging to park, but not a big deal, there's some street parking. Came in and was hoping to try a pastry.... Not today, I guess everything sells out before 2pm haha. I'll have to come earlier next time. Decided to try a Mayan mocha. Wasn't sure what it was, but was told it's like a Mexican hot chocolate- I'm sold. Once I took the first sip, the rich coffee and chocolate was so delicious. I'm hooked. I would definitely come back for this any day. I recommend it! Thank you for the friendly service and flavorful Coffee!

Nothing about it has ever made me want to sit inside. I've always wanted to move everything around. Still do. Stood at the counter for approximately 4 minutes with the staff talking to a customer to my right . Zero visual or verbal acknowledgment. I called her out when she finally spoke to me. My staff will greet you in under 30 seconds whether they are at the front desk or not. I still tip a minimum of 20% for pick up.

We walked over to The Daily Grind on a Friday morning before venturing down to State Street…read more We were greeted by friendly staff while pondering over the menu. My sister went for a breakfast burrito and I decided on a make it my way bagel consisting of a jalapeño cheese bagel with cheddar and sausage. The flavors were amazing. I topped it off with a latte that made me grin from ear to ear. Delicious!! We sat outside amongst many locals enjoying the sun and cozy atmosphere. There were dogs to pet and smiles exchanged. I will find my way back one day.

I got the matcha and it's absolutely supreme. Fresh, powder matcha made with genuine matcha tools. It was the best matcha of my entire life (and I live off matcha). The environment is SO cozy and inviting, with an atmosphere that is perfect for bringing your laptop to chill. The staff is very friendly and fun, as our barista was dressed in Patrick-star (from SpongeBob) attire just for ha-ha's. It was a truly magical experience and I can't wait to go back for me.

My morning was not going so well so I really craved a really delicious local latte and I chose lighthouse Café for my latte (as opposed to starbucks 1 mile away) as it opened up as I was pulling into the parking lot.. the music was on the lights were on and Bianca was ready to serve us. She helped me decide on a vanilla latte which I never order (wanted something different than my normal mocha and I tried this new latte made by BIANCA and it was phenomenal. Even the art at the top was pretty. Just wanna say thanks to our local Lighthouse BARISTA Bianca for patiently managing all of our orders within the first 15 minutes of opening.

No nod, no "one sec," no fleeting moment of eye contact. Nothing to suggest they were aware that two humans with wallets had entered the building. So we left. Without coffee. Without spending a single dollar. Which, in a town where people will happily pay $8 for an oat milk latte and say thank you, is a pretty remarkable failure. I genuinely cannot review the coffee because I never got any. What I can tell you is that the vibe is very much "we exist, find us if you dare." On this particular day, I didn't dare long enough. Maybe the market is great. Maybe the coffee is transcendent. I'll never know, and honestly, neither will my credit card.

Large almond croissant stuffed with a thick, rich almond filled that is divine. Probably one of the best croissants I have ever had. That being said, I'm giving it a 4/5 for the rest of their food. We had come for breakfast, and their meals seemed a bit more expensive for the taste of the food. Just average, don't think I would order a plate of food here again. However, I would hands down come back for more of their croissants. Great drinks. Their Peach Mint Iced Tea was DELISH, and their fresh squeezed orange juice was perfect. Their coffee menu left a bit to be desired, don't think I would choose one of those again. Overall, this is the place to go to grab yourself one of the best almond croissants. Would return for another one of those.
