Those are the things that made it standout for me. Perfect place for a college town like East Lansing.

Couple running groups, students studying, OSU women's gymnastics team, etc. Got through line quickly and order was prompt. What a great selection of the basics plus seasonal concoctions. I opted for the bourbon vanilla latte and Mediterranean avocado toast. Lots of seating options. I went with a bench upstairs. Enjoyed the whole experience.

My wife and were in need for some coffee and we decided to go here. This place is really cozy and…read morethe staff is very friendly. I really love this place as it has a ton of seating, There are two levels and students come here to study and work in groups. The have so many different drinks and food to choose from lattes, drip coffee, pour over coffee, smoothies, tea, ice cream, breakfast pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and hot chocolate to name a few. We ordered the Lavender Honey Latte and the Caramel & Vanilla Latte but the coffee was delicious. Both had the right amount of flavors, it was served with at the right temperature. It came quickly as well. Overall, we would come here again next time we are in town. Next time, I'll be sure to order the Barista Flavor of the Day.

Both were huge and well worth the wait! I asked for a latte with a little flavor, but not syrupy sweet, which came out exactly as I wanted. I ordered a tea with lavender and lemon, plus a raspberry lime soda for family, and they liked both. We also had a couple of Kit-Kat cookies that were very good.

By the time I placed my order, I realized I wasn't going to have time to grab that bagel so I decided to try some egg bites and they were ok. Nothing fancy.

He was damn good in making the coffee, everytime I took my coffee from there it was with the same taste and awesome. He was also so good in greeting the people and helping them with their orders. But IDK what happened and I am not seeing that guy anymore there. Now some new persons are serving there and running. Literally since then I am missing my BLUE OWL CAFE AU LAIT so much. The people now serving there are not doing there job seriously and ruining my morning mood daily. I am liking the taste at all. I really asked if it's possible to do something for that, otherwise no problem there are more coffee places. I just really wish you guys could do better with that guy. Also one more incident I would like to share that the person now serving is literally not taking the job seriuosly becuse he gave me my coffee cup with the bigger lid which wasn's fit on the cup at all and that I wasn't aware of. When I drank my coffee it was all over me with that lid, so you can now understand what is happening. I am not very happy btw. Thanks though.
