I didst first partake of an espresso so fierce and resolute that it did strike mine soul with the…read moreforce of a charging warhorse. Though but a thimble in measure, its body was stout, its bitterness noble, and its finish lingered upon mine tongue as though a monk had whispered dark secrets into mine ear. A draught fit for kings, crusaders, and those burdened with collecting the kingdom's taxes. Thereafter came the humble medium drip coffee, a beverage far gentler in temperament. Verily, it possessed a smoothness most uncommon, lacking the scorched misery oft found in lesser taverns. Notes of roasted earth and faint sweetness did reveal themselves with each sip, as though the beans had been blessed by the Archbishop himself. It warmed both hand and spirit, making even the dreariest morn seem worthy of song. Thus do I proclaim The Blend Coffee Bar to be a house of uncommon mastery. Should thou seek potions brewed with care rather than haste, cast aside thy allegiance to lesser coffee merchants and make pilgrimage henceforth. I bestow upon this establishment five chalices out of five!

This semi-hidden ice cream shop is such a cute find! We stumbled across Arthur's closer to closing…read moreand were pleasantly surprised by what it had to offer. The workers were super nice, and the shop itself had so much seating. It actually had more of a cafe vibe than your typical ice cream shop, which made it feel really cozy and inviting. The space was really cute, trendy, and well decorated, and I was honestly surprised it wasn't busier. The ice cream itself was creamy and delicious, with a good-sized portion that was not too big or too small. I'd say the texture and quality are pretty similar to Van Leeuwen, which is a huge compliment. Overall, this was such a nice little hidden gem, and I'm glad we happened to come across it. I'd definitely come back to try more flavors and spend some time here!

We visited for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. We were…read morein the area visiting our adult son. The young woman helping me allowed me to sample 3 tastes. I purchased a double scoop Kalfi and Mocha Almond. Both were delicious. The Kalfi was especially unique and delicious. It was pistachio, rosewater and cardamom and not overly sweet really very special. My husband had a caramel and fig ice cream that was really delicious. Our son had a Sunday that he liked. We will definitely be back there for ice cream I'd like to try the Matcha drinks that they have. It's a sweet place with tables inside and chairs outside.

The ambiance inside is cozy and relaxed. There's a wide variety of drinks on the menu and there's some pastry options as well. You can either order from the barista or from the kiosk and pickup your drink from the bar. I ordered the gingerbread chai, which came out relatively quickly, but it just tasted like milk with cinnamon. It was a bit expensive for the quality of what I ordered, but reasonable for the area.

A cute coffee spot located near Hotworx…read more They have unique furniture that serves as condiment/trash stands, the smaller tables have bases that either are or shaped like gears. I love they have multiple kiosks for ordering, but also take orders at the counter. We ended up ordering from the kiosk, so not much interaction with the staff. Although, the first time, we placed an order and then asked if they can split into 2 cups, which they so kindly did. Premium Mexican Mocha Latte - taste was not too bad, heavy on the chocolate Iced Dubai Oat Milk Latte - too heavy with the toppings and flavors, would not order again There is plenty of parking available, shared by neighboring businesses. Would I return? Yep, for sure.

It's brewed in big kettles that they will just pour over after you order. There are so many other coffee types I have to come back for. The honeycomb dessert is a must try. There's cheese inside and honey drizzle on top. It's really a new taste for me and I loved it. The staff was very friendly. They are not all from Yemen though. I don't know why I assumed so lol There's plenty of parking space. The set up is also very nice for friends to hangout and talk. You can also go upstairs to work with a bit more peace. It's a good cafe I'd come back for!

TLDR: very good coffee and tea at fairly reasonable prices. The honey cake is also really good!…read more My wife and I wanted a warm drink before heading to brunch and decided to try somewhere new. I'm happy to say that I am very happy with our choice. The cafe smells amazing from the moment you walk in. The scent of cardamom fills the cafe. I ordered the Qamari latte and my wife ordered the Chai latte. We also grabbed a slice of honey cake to go for later. The Qamari latte was full of flavor, notes of cardamom and spice. I didn't think anything was overpowering and it was well balanced. The chai latte was also very good and very well balanced. The honey cake is super delicious and reminded me of a honey cereal or something that I used to eat growing up. I just can't remember what it was. The service was friendly and quick for a Saturday morning. The cafe feels very warm and has some middle eastern theming in it. The prices are fairly reasonable and there's a private parking lot. Highly recommend getting some coffee here. They also sell bags of coffee beans as well!

The staff is always really nice when you walk in, everything is clean, and service is super quick. I love that they keep their regular favorites but are always adding new things too. My niece is obsessed with their lemonade drinks, and I swear I've tried almost everything else on the menu at this point. Pistachio milk tea, Thai milk tea, matcha, green tea, black tea... all good. I usually do less sugar, and it still tastes great. I can genuinely say I've never had a bad drink here. Also, random but cool, I recently noticed they have ramen now that you can heat up, which I did not expect. Love seeing a small local place keep evolving. Always happy to support them.

Showing up at a café 10 minutes before closing--when the machines are cleaned, chairs are up, and…read moreyou've officially become that customer--is usually not your finest moment. But Libar, the shift manager at Paris Baguette, turned it into one of the kindest customer service experiences I've had. Despite already being in full shutdown mode, Libar and her team welcomed me warmly, restarted everything for a sandwich and cappuccino, and treated me with genuine kindness after a very stressful visit next door at the emergency vet. Even more remarkable, when I tried to leave a tip for going so far above and beyond, Libar graciously refused with, "I love my job." That kind of compassion can't be trained--it's who she is. Libar (and clearly her team) turned a rough night around, and Paris Baguette is lucky to have her.

I didn't know that you could heat up the croissant if you were dining in, so I ended up eating it cold. I wish the cashier would've asked if I wanted to heat it up. The prices are definitely on the higher end so be mindful when you're coming. They have trays and tongs so you can grab whatever you want and then go pay at the register. There's a really cute space for sitting inside and outside as well.
