The staff was incredibly friendly from the moment I walked in. I ordered a churro latte with whipped cream and it was absolutely delicious. I also grabbed a blueberry muffin, and they warmed it up perfectly. The outside had a slight crisp while the inside stayed soft and moist. The atmosphere is what really sold me. There are cute outdoor tables, cornhole games, fun artwork throughout the space, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. I pulled out my laptop and got some work done comfortably, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover they also serve alcoholic beverages and stay open later in the evening. It feels like a coffee shop and neighborhood hangout all in one. Whether you're looking for a place to work remotely, meet friends, enjoy a coffee date, or spend time with family, I highly recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be back!

I stopped by to work and have a Matcha and had a meh experience. I ordered a strawberry Matcha and…read moreI am not a Matcha expert by any means but I am used to a more elevated Matcha beverage if I'm paying close to $10. They use Monin syrups for everything which is fine I guess but my matcha just came green and wasn't in any way attractive in the cup. I'm used to having to mix my oat milk and ingredients into the drink, but that was not necessary here. I tasted the drink and did not like it and since it was so pricey, I tried to just get through it, but I ended up taking it back and getting a lavender limeade refresher which ended up just concentrated lemon juice, water and lavender syrup. The drink was three dollars less than what I originally paid for and they gave it to me as an even exchange so that is kind of annoying as well. The people are nice, but I am not sure this is a coffee shop. I plan to return to.

This is such a great coffee spot. I've been driving by for years since they opened and finally…read morechecked it out last week. I liked it so much that I stopped by again today! My friends had raved about the strawberry blondie latte and I can see why they did! My first visit, I tried it with quarter sugar but found myself craving a little more sweetness. I got the half sugar order today and it was perfect - a lovely sweet strawberry taste at the bottom that you can mix in with the coffee. I love that it is iced and comes with dried strawberries floating at the top! You can customize sugar and milk options but it's $1 extra for oat milk. All the staff are really friendly and were happy to talk me through the flavoring options of various lattes. I got the mocha latte for J and he really enjoyed it. The shop is not very big and was completely full on a Friday morning, but plenty of seats were open on a Sunday morning. It's a good location for coffee with a friend, or a date, or getting some work or studying done. Parking is right outside and is plentiful as it's right next to the Walgreens. I already signed up for their rewards program so I will certainly be back!

It's a cute little store with a lovely interior. When I went, the store was packed to the brim with…read morepeople doing work on their laptops and studying, so it seems like a nice place to go to do some remote work. The layout of the interior was slightly confusing, you have to walk all the way to the back left corner to order your coffee, and it was next to the restrooms. (Thank God the restrooms were clean.) I ordered the vanilla latte (kind of like the safe thing to order at a new place?) and to be honest, first sip was a disappointment. The barista prepared it well, it was not burnt, but the issue is when you do have someone prepare it well and it still doesn't turn out well means there's an issue with the quality itself. It fell flat in terms of flavor. The espresso overpowers the flavor of everything else. Which normally is a good thing, but usually in lattes I'm expecting a nice mix of syrup, milk, and espresso. The bitter of the espresso takes over the latte. I'm sure this place had some other delicious choices, but this was not the coffee shop for me.

It was such a nostalgic treat--it immediately reminded me of my childhood in India, when I used to eat butterscotch ice cream almost every other day. The sweet, creamy flavor brought back so many memories! I also loved the ambience and the service. It's cozy,cute, and has such a relaxed vibe that makes you want to sit and enjoy your coffee for a while. A really lovely spot to slow down, catch up with a friend, or just enjoy a nostalgic cup of coffee. Definitely recommend trying the butterscotch!

We all ordered different milks -- whole, skim, coconut, and oat -- and they were able to accommodate all of us! I really liked my iced latte, which was rich without being overly floral or sweet. The pastries were also a hit, including the lemon poppy muffin, cherry turnover, chocolate croissant, and the spinach, mushroom, and cheese danish. The outside of this coffee shop and apothecary doesn't exactly have curb appeal, but the inside is bright, clean, and stylish, combining sleek lines with softer botanical elements to create a welcoming space. The barista was... indifferent at best, borderline unfriendly at worst. We did ask a couple questions that seemed to irritate her, but we were the only people in there, so we weren't holding up a line or anything. It was a bummer to feel unwelcome, but we were getting the coffee and pastries to go regardless, so it didn't ruin our breakfast.

In addition to the bakery items, they also had a nice selection of drinks and menu items available. I tried the strawberry matcha, and it was good. One thing to note is that it wasn't sweetened, but if you prefer a sweeter drink, you may want to ask for sweetener or add your own. For baked goods, I got the turmeric lemon tea cake, cowboy cookies, and oaty peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Everything was delicious, and I loved being able to try such a variety of flavors. Another huge plus is that all of their bakery items are gluten-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions without sacrificing taste or quality.

I take my kids here and still love their cookies but now I am into their cowboy cookies more. I still like their oatmeal a lot.

The salad and flatbread were ginormous and we got through the salad and took a few bites of the flatbread before packing it to go. Flavors all worked really well and loved the uniqueness of the salad. Also got the French vanilla latte, which was good for a quick caffeine fix but nothing spectacular. Definitely a must!

Berry Tart Butter Croissants Pistachio Croissants Hot Salted Caramel Latte w/Almond Milk Service: OMG, what can I say other than I wasn't ready! Brock and Jael exceeded my expectations of this cute coffee shop and its services. This was my first time ever visiting this establishment accompanied by my mom. We were greeted with the most beautiful smiles and jolly hellos anxiously prepared to take our orders. I had an idea but I wasn't sure what I wanted to order. These two amazing young people helped me decide what I would eventually order. My mom and I were treated so well that I made the decision to return with my work team and I'm truly excited to plan the trip. If you've never been to this coffee shop and you're in the area, please consider stopping by to pick up some coffee and delicious pastries. I would have rated this business 5 stars but I was disappointed with the service provided by the young ladies at the coffee area. They lacked the top notch quality customer service provided by Brandon and Jael. Unfortunately, I didn't get a smile or a hello from these ladies. I think maybe a little coaching is in order. Atmosphere: The interior and exterior of the building was nice and clean including the ladies room. The noise level was low and comfortable while folks were enjoying their food, working on their laptops, and having conversations. I was quite pleased.

I had the seasonal jalapeño pepper jack bagel, Asiago and cinnamon. For the schmears I got the cinnamon, scallion, and jalapeño. The worker told me the best way to heat it up which was to air fry it for about 5 min and it did stay nice and soft inside while slightly crispy outside. I loved the scallion cream cheese because it comes with a shallot or mild red onion that gives it a lot of flavor. The jalapeño and cinnamon were solid. Overall, this is a good bagel spot and I like how many different bagel and schmear flavors they have. A competing popular bagel spot has recently opened in Houston and luckily they aren't very close to each other. Each have pros and cons. While those bagels are better fresh Jeff's has more options, is better priced, and has no wait time.
