Live closeby so I've been meaning to check out this cafe and glad that I did! They have a half off breakfast sandwiches deal this entire month so that gave us an extra incentive. Their sandwiches were really good! We got the spinach frittata and the turkey sausage sandwiches. Both were great but I really liked the jalapeño sauce on the turkey sandwich. They tasted fresh and were made with high quality bread. The coffee was pretty good as well. I liked their Spanish latte, although I recommend adjusting the sweetness down. Their iced mocha was okay but nothing spectacular. Overall the food was good and it was all for around $16 which is a great value for breakfast for two. Will definitely come by again! read more

I've noticed this café before but I never had the time, or need to stop in. I really wish I had though, too bad it's way across town. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My first impression was how much bigger it seems inside than viewed from the parking lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Next was how good all the munchies looked, sandwich options. Oh my! I need two stomachs, but it's probably best to enjoy the offerings gradually. That said I went savory and sweet. For the savory there's a breakfast sandwich with chipotle pastrami that's absolutely fantastic. And sweet was their take on the classic Pop Tart. BTW, have you seen how small and pathetic Kellog's Pop Tarts have become? I guarantee you'll love their selection, and it's worth the calories. All-in-all, this seems like a great choose your own path breakfast spot for food and beverages. The employees are very welcoming, too. read more

Love this coffee shop. New to the coffee scene as I wasn't ever really into coffee but now that I drink it more than ever I prefer shops like this. Family owned not franchise. I order the dulce de leche iced latte & it's so good. I also tried their mango hibiscus lemonade so delicious. From their food items I've had their breakfast, sausage & cheddar sandwich, ham & cheese jalapeño croissant, French toast sausage sandwich & oatmeal cookie so far. All have been bomb.com Service is also very friendly & attentive. Try it! read more

Friday I came through the drive-through I asked for a banana peanut butter drink, and I got one and it was delicious Monday. I come through the drive-through and ask for the same drink not even close no bananas, no peanut butter on the taste of it no chocolate at all I waited when I got to the window to order. I waited when I got to the window to get my drink everything was just negative. On top of that last Friday, I got a $40 gift card. They gave me $50 credit. Maybe my next experience will be better cause I'm kind of stuck going here for a little bit. It's too bad they can't be consistent. Friday was perfect. read more

We absolutely love trying all of the coffee spots. We drove by and looked at Yelp, then we quickly turned around when I saw they had a Coconut Mocha Latte. That's my favorite combo and it did not disappoint! They use Lavazza coffee so it's strong, bold, creamy, a delish! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was great and the place was super cute inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went on Valentine's Day so took advantage of the photo spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Enough of my words, just go already! read more

Located on Van Buren Blvd and Orange Terrace Pkwy near Farmer Boys, with drive-thru and plenty of parking. I was actually on my way for breakfast elsewhere but stopped in here just for coffee and a cupcake or pastry. To my surprise, they also serve a variety of breakfast sandwiches! That was the highlight of my day. I had an iced 'White Mocha,' a 'Sausage & Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich,' and a 'Praline Cupcake.' Everything tasted amazing. The mocha had the perfect balance of espresso, milk, and syrup. The sandwich, made on a super soft ciabatta roll, was put together perfectly. The cupcake was the ideal addition to end my breakfast feeling satisfied. Service was great, fast, efficient, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of seating, including outdoor tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I had an awesome experience here and will definitely return to try more of their treats. read more

First time visiting and I will try to visit again. The service was friendly and fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store was clean and cute with seating inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a brownie and a mint matcha frappe. Both were delicious, especially the drink. They had oat milk yo exchange for cows milk, which I appreciated. The flavor combinations offered are interesting and sound yummy so I would love to come back and try their different flavors. read more

I finally had a chance to visit this place. My niece was excited to check it out, so we dropped in for breakfast around 8am. She ordered the Feta sandwich (spinach, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes & egg whites. She did not like it at all. The sandwich was so dry and needed additional condiments and they had nothing except spicy tapatio packets. I ordered a mocha and it needed more mocha presence. I wanted a plain cinnamon roll, but they only had 2 types covered heavily in some topping. Customer service was great. I really wanted to like this place, but I won't be going back. read more

Nice to have cupcakes so early in the morning when you're in a pinch for someone birthday! I didn't get to taste anything so I'm unsure of the quality, but appreciate the selection available. read more

Cool spot to hang out little Tracy but not too too bad. Pastries are good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good ambience and location and customers are very classy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not impressed with the guy behind the bar but might just been an off day. Either way I would totally come back. They are right next-door to a pizza and taco spot so this is a smart location. Got a strawberry pop tart, blueberry cupcake and an iced Spanish latte. All we're good. read more

Really enjoyed the coffee and sandwhiches. Will be going back to try their matcha. Service was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating and a cool Italian vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've driven past this place a few times and now I finally got to try it! The sign is easy to spot. Parking is not difficult at all. Right outside, they had a sign posted for all their fall drinks. I went in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is bigger than it looks! They have a huge seating area and plenty of tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was only a group inside and outside, enjoying their drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The front of the bar has a huge selection of drinks, sandwiches, and pastries. They have a wide selection of food, breakfast and lunch. I went up to the counter and let the barista know this was my first time and I wasn't sure what to pick. I ended up getting their crème brûlée latte, iced. I asked if they had a discount for county employees and she said yes. Ordering was quick, easy, and barista was cordial. I didn't wait long for my drink, probably 3 minutes. My drink was delicious, ever sweet. It is strong! I'd would definitely come back, thanks! read more

I am not picky with my drinks, but matcha was very milky. I would say it did not even really taste like matcha, just pure milk. Their coffee drinks are much better than the matcha. The chocolate chip cookies were delicious, but I would not try their matcha drink again. Service was good. read more

Service is always fast. Staff is friendly. Food and drinks are great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute cafe in a great lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

First time coming in the store. I set a mobile pick up @ a certain time. When I got there the drink wasn't ready/prepared so I had to wait additional 15 mins. I wasn't in a rush but it was a bit annoying because it wasn't even busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is nice though.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I haven't tried their food yet. read more

Madagascar cold brew my good to go 10/10!! They are friendly and give you a great customer service

Food looks great, but the flavor isn't there. The egg white bite with sun dried tomato, spinach, and Gruyère cheese was ALL spinach. You couldn't taste the other flavors at all. The maple oat scone had a nice maple glaze coating, unfortunately it was dry and the oat flavor dominated the maple and pecans inside. Coffee was okay, nothing spectacular. The service on Sunday morning was slow and rude. Lots of room for improvement read more

Service was perfect! Baristas recommended iced banana pudding matcha and I don't regret getting it! Will definitely be going back! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is definitely chill but too quiet many people enjoying their drink or pastry and chatting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Loved it! read more

The service was okay. The person taking orders was patient however it was a frustrating experience as almost every drink beverage I wanted was not available because they were out of an ingredient.

Friendly staff, delicious cupcakes & coffee. Clean & a nice spot to chill at. No loss, worth a visit :)

Great coffee! Fast service and strong coffee! Pastries are fresh and it's always quick !

I mean it's just a local spot I go to often, it's not as good as the Moreno Valley location, coffee is mediocre but the flavors are great. Their matcha?? not really. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love their seasonal menus and there's enough seating to study.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you get their app, they got drinks they make per day of the week and that's chill if you're there long hours studying. Overall, not too crazy about it but good if you like trendy flavors and are in the area, check them out read more

The more I've come since they opened, the more I feel like it's going down hill. Consistently being out of the advertised Mexican spiced powder is one thing, but the quality of the coffee has declined significantly. My hot coffee is consistently not hot, and iced coffee consistently still hot. Service has been mediocre as well. I think it's time to stop coming to this location. read more

Gave it a 2 because they appear to actually be trying. I got the toffee coffee blended drink, didn't have any taste of coffee, didn't really taste like toffee. It was a premade powder that they used. That was disappointing. Gluten free cookies were adequate, us gluten free folk can't be too picky. Husband grabbed a cupcake, it was falling apart it was so dry. Frosting was adequate. Was expecting higher quality since coffee and desserts was their thing. Would not recommend or come back here unfortunately read more

Food. This place has an impressive array of sweets and savory foods, as well as all the common espresso drinks one usually asks for. The prices are reasonable. Service. Basically you order and pick up the foods and drinks like Starbucks. The woman at the counter was kind enough. Ambience [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is kind of cold, bright and somewhat like a high school cafeteria, with a huge round table in the center. It's very bright in fact, and one would never use the word "cozy" here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Yet the food makes up for it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For Vegetarians: This establishment has a surprising number of veggie and vegan options. I tried the vegan scrambled eggs. While tofu will never be a substitute for eggs, it wasn't bad. read more

I just came about an hour ago and I'm trying to ditch Starbucks, my experience was great! I didn't know what to order and the guy was so nice in recommending me something that I would like. I didn't have to wait long to receive my order which was a plus! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I felt so welcomed that I decided to sit and eat my pastry[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My drink was perfect not too strong and not too sweet! I'm definitely going to come back once my semester starts! read more

I found this spot, while attending a nearby training class. I went on two separate occasions. One was to get the red velvet pastry ($3.50), which was ok. The second occasion was to try the waffle / egg / sausage sandwich ($5.58), which was small in size and was disgusting!! What a waste of my $6. The service was fine and the interior was clean. This is the only reason why I am giving this place two stars instead of one. I am not a fan of this place, but you need to try this for yourself to make your own determination. read more

Starbucks would never! First off not only is the coffee coffee but the customer service is amazing, they accidentally charged my husband one cup size bigger so they called and got a hold of me (I'm a member) to let me know what happened & apologized. They went out of their way to communicate this and did the right thing by refunded the drink. Love this service, now to get more locations would be amazing read more

Overall-I will be back. I feel like their menu is very overwhelming. So much to choose from, which for some is great, but when you swing by in the drive thru, I feel so much pressure lol. Their service is great, and quick. So that's always appreciated! Next time I visit j will be checking the menus out prior to heading there lol read more

Things have been going extremely downhill since March ,I used to love this place but as of recent they have been getting my orders wrong,and taking longer than usual ,I use the app and still have to wait 45 mins ? ...isn't the app just to pickup your order,I placed my order at 8:03am and didn't have it ready untill 8:50 ,nothing crazy 2 ice coffees and 2 sandwiches I would understand waiting if I had a crazy long order but I've been giving this place the benefit of the doubt but they have been disappointing more and more.When they are good and well staffed this place is amazing but I think it comes down to a staffing issue. read more

This place is pretty good. first time here and I would come back.. Drinks are very taste.. I got pumpkin muffin and lemon bar both pretty good. Cinnamon roll was a little dry inside by time we got it home and my husband didn't care much for the cupcake he got but other then that everything else was delicious.. Definitely worth the drink for the drink. read more

I love this place but I don't appreciate what I assume just happened. I've gotten the same drink enough times to know the price, which is $5.95. Today it was $7.50. I drove off confused and checked the app to see if the price changed. It didn't. I'm assuming they are adding a tip for themselves and hoping the customers don't notice. They gave me the money back when I went back in and showed them what the price should've been. If you come here make sure you check the prices first and ask for a receipt. Cause that's some sketchy ghetto stuff they're trying to pull. read more

I'm not gonna let it bother me. Will definitely try it again read more
