    Chaggamacha
    Dani O.

    Back for more! After getting the Elite Yelp experience at Covenant, had to come back for more! Everyone there is just so friendly!! They greet you with a smile, serve fabulous coffee and you walk out with a new energy in your step. I got the Chagamatcha. Probably didn't spell that correctly. It was delicious! Cute place! Decor is great! Tables available to sit and enjoy your coffee. They serve food too. I wish they were near my house because I would make this my everyday coffee shop if it was closer.

    Came here to work remotely while my older daughters got their hair cut. This place never disappoints. Coffee and food are great and the service is top-notch. Plus the price was great for two drinks and four breakfast tacos just $23.50. The chill vibe always makes me feel like I'm at home. So much better than the coffee chains out there.

    Stopped in en route to Northern California. Needed a pick me up and something to eat. I'd been here 7-8 years before. Didn't register until I pulled up. So happy they're still here. Has a macchiato and breakfast sandwich. Both were excellent. The building is a previous bank. The roasting equipment is all front and center so you see everything, which is nice. An old bank safe is also out front. Highly recommend. Will be back.

    Every time I get a chance I stop by. We had a Yelp event Years ago and I've been dropping in ever since. It's coffee with a cause. Every cup goes toward the community and those in foster care. So many young people have been successfully evolved into the work field through his cafe. Some still work there and are part of management. The coffee is good prices average $4 or $4.5 for a specialty beverage They have all the alternative milks as well Stop by sit in a peaceful environment indoors or out and enjoy hope in a cup

    Mocha frappe
    Bess B.

    Great coffee, great breakfast, and fantastic service. The only downside is its location. I ordered a mocha frappe and it was sooo good! It wasn't too sweet and had the just the right amount of flavor. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and pretty big! The egg, sausage, and cheese was placed perfectly in the bagel bun (which was toasted on the outside and soft in the inside). Although there was only one person working at the time, and people came in one after another, she maintained her patience and professionalism. There was one point when a homeless person came in to ask for water/restroom, and became upset (and violent) when she was told it was only for customers. Apparently, she was a usual visitor and always acted that way, even when she was given water and an opportunity to use the restroom. I will be planning on visiting this establishment more so in the near future. I love the fact that they are non-profit and that all the proceeds help mentor and provide jobs for former foster youth!

    Black Coffee

    I got their black coffee, coffee of the day, and a chagmatcha Great customer service! My favorite is the Chagamatcha! If you're a matcha fan, you GOT to get this. My friends got their coffee and loved it! My fiance (who is a coffee enthusiast) loved the coffee of the day. His friend who got the black coffee said it was the best roast he ever got. I also got a quiche (ate that one quickly) and the lady who was serving me was so sweet! I'm so glad they are collaborating with Cloud Nine (check them out as well) and oh boy, I'm surprised I haven't came here sooner!! I will be coming back!

    Last few sips of my delicious dark roast pod!
    Lori C.

    I haven't actually visited Covenant Coffee in person, but I bought a box of dark roast coffee pods at a supporting location. I was so excited for my morning coffee. The smell of that pod brewing was heavenly. I was so excited to take my first sip. Smooth and bold. Just the way I like it. It was delicious! Oh my goodness! I'm so glad I bought those pods! I will definitely make an effort to visit the storefront, but I'm super happy to find pods in other locations. Thanks guys, for such a beautiful roast!

THE GRUB: The Cuban coffee is outstanding, and the Vietnamese iced coffee is one of the best around, actually its the only one around. If im clueless let me in on the Vietnamese coffe you know of...anyhoo If you're looking for a caffeine kick, the cold canned Vietnamese coffee will give you a jolt you wouldn't believe. Food-wise, the Peruvian grilled cheese sandwich was flavorful and well made, but I'd recommend asking for the sauce on the side unless you enjoy a messy sandwich. The ham and cheese croffel had great flavor, but it was a little light on the ham and cheese. I think the cropples are better suited in the sweet variety as they seem small incompressants to a ham and cheese croissant someone would purchase for about half that price. In my opinion, it was more of a kid's snack than a meal and not quite worth the price, if you're actually hungry I would go with something else off the menu. Everything was made fresh , you must be patient here , perfection can be slower than your metabolism, so dont go there hangry. During my visit, Hector explained that he envisions Uncharted Adventures as a gathering place for the community. The business frequently hosts weekend vendor markets and local running clubs. Hector also shared he was creating a dedicated Memorial Day wall honoring local veterans, first responders, and teachers, while also working on an outdoor eating area. It's always great to see a Hector and Chris, and the new Adventures they take on. This is one of the few coffee shops in Bako worth checking out, whether you're stopping in for a coffee, a bite to eat, or a community events theyre hosting give em a visit an introduce yourself. You can thank me later. .Overall I would give everything a four and a half Stars but since Yelp doesn't do half Stars I'll give them a five out of five stars. As they deserve a free half star for all of the Uncharted Adventures that they are a part of...lol get it.. nevermind.. bye for now...

Their hype was definitely due to the 'aesthetic'. Nothing is really outstanding to me. The drinks are such a let down, the coffee is borderline yuck.. do not recommend. Everything is quite unmemorable. Service is whatever, sometimes mid, sometimes bad. Nothing outstanding. Ambiance.... well... this one has been replicated one too many times. The food is heavily missing flavor,the hummus is disgusting. I can't believe they call that thing hummus, it's an insult to actual dish.. it's almost like it was trying to imitate the real dish, but failed terribly in even attempting to. Their pizza tasted like play-doh and looked very pale. Smitten is at least consistent with one thing, which is their staple: no flavor. One of the breaking points for me was being served food that had someone's HAIR. The restaurant is very expensive for the poor experience they have to offer. I stopped recommending them a long time ago.
