    Excited that there's a coffee spot on the campus now that we're in office more! Commons is inside of Fooda in building 5. Solid coffee menu and they had a few pastries out too. Service was quick. There was only 1 worker and they made drinks after each order and it was quick.

    Made their espresso in a plastic cup. Hot coffee melting into plastic. Such a carcinogen, had to throw out the coffee to save myself.

I loved the large painting on the wall depicting the rugged old west with a cow boy having a cup of coffee by the fire in the mountains. They have Different types of seating arrangements. The interior is modern with a comfortable lighting scene and wrap around floor to ceiling windows. They also have a large patio with more seating. I also noticed a fire place and a Television outside. Aside from their great coffee and Tea menu, they offer daily pastries, refreshments, small bites and coffee bean bags to go. I had the Horchata Latté with oat milk (available hot or cold). It was really good. It is made with 2 shots of their signature espresso with a house-made horchata syrup or base, steamed or iced milk, and a dusting of cinnamon. You could taste the quality of the coffee. It was really good. The coffee was a little strong. The service was great and prices are average. I really enjoyed hanging out in their shop with friends. They have several locations. I highly recommend Moon Goat Coffee Roasters.

I had a shot of their milkblend espresso over ice and my friend tried the vanilla latte. We were severely disappointed. The espresso was very sour, acidic, and slightly bitter. The vanilla latte tasted like sweet milk. I do not recommend the drinks at all, unless that is your type of flavor profile. The ambiance is very nice, it cultivates a work study vibe, and it seems it's a stop for morning walkers/friends catching up. You can order at a kiosk at the entrance or with the cashier. It is straightforward service, but it took about 20 minutes for our 2 drinks on a Friday morning. There is plenty of parking as its in a shared plaza.

    Honestly disappointing, especially what appears to be good reviews of this place…read more The only positive factor I can remember is how much seating there is inside (lots of people just meeting up, working, etc). - You order on two available consoles, which you think would help with efficiency and workflow (it was pretty busy when I got there). However, it took my drink a while to come out. There was a sign above the consoles that indicate ETA of the drink. Based on the color I thought it would be a quick wait but it ended up taking 15 minutes. It seems like the coffee station, manned by one person it seems, was cranking out multiple drinks whereas the drink I got (matcha) took a long time - this is despite me being one of few matcha drinks ordered when I was waiting... - I noticed that as the barista was whisking my drink, she took the whisk out, took a look at the whisk then with her bare hands touched the tip of the whisk and reinserted it into the cup.. all without washing her hands or using gloves... I honestly wanted to say something but I was already in a rush and didn't want to make a scene at an already busy hour and the barista looked kind of frazzled already... - If you are hoping for a strong matcha, this isn't the place to go to. I got the blueberry matcha, which was a pale green in a color and it tasted like a premade mix of blueberry matcha.. although calling it matcha may be a bit generous as the drink just tasted like blueberry milk...Not sure if I'll be coming back.. not for matcha any way
