I have ordered the teddy graham latte and banana pudding latte and both were perfect. Unlike some other shops, the drinks are not overly sweet and you can taste the actual coffee. I've also tried takeout french toast sticks with strawberries and bananas as well as their classy croissant sandwich both of which were delicious. The shop itself is a little on the smaller side and dimly lit which I don't mind. I have not had trouble finding a parking spot yet though I have only been here twice. Overall, will definitely be coming again!

I stood there waiting just over 10 minutes for a small iced matcha, and it was chunky and not well mixed at all (perhaps because the only barista working was so busy). I tried to mix it more with a hand frother at home and there was just a lot of sticky residue at the bottom of the cup. I couldn't salvage it into something appetizing and just tossed it.

It's just one guy, Gabriel, but he runs a good show. I really enjoy the beans he selects. Often he will offer a shot of what he is brewing today to see if you'll like it. Latte, flat white, cortado, cappuccino - it's all good. The owner is friendly and social, and if you stop in on a weekend morning you'll likely see kids playing card games while their parents watch. It's intimate and social in way that is extremely rare in 2025. If you're shopping for a board game, card game, or gift at the Dragon, you should stop in. If you live in the area, think about making it part of your weekend morning routine. Hours are changing soon to be weekend only, so keep an eye out and don't show up when they're closed!

The amaretto iced coffee is smooth, slightly sweet, and easy to drink, and the chocolate chip scone understood the assignment, buttery, loaded with chips, and gone way too fast. Inside, you've got shelves stacked with coffee jars like a caffeine apothecary, burlap coffee sacks casually flexing their single-origin credentials, and just enough cozy chaos to remind you this place is serious about beans. Outside, there's a festive little setup with lights, a giant present looking entrance (Santa clearly approves), and a tiny free library because caffeine and books are a power combo. Bonus points for enjoying the coffee from the car like a true commuter philosopher. Is this the kind of coffee that'll change your life? No. Is it the kind that makes your morning better and your drive more tolerable? Absolutely. The two baristas are elite: no small talk, no life stories, just order pour go. Morning efficiency at its finest. Bonus points for Spanish speakers, because coffee sounds better en español. Rápido, directo, sin vueltas

It's a relatively small shop with both booth and counter service. Clean with pictures covering one wall. I ordered the waffle with honey and assorted fruit ($10.00) and a cup of coffee ($2.75). Yes, it was sweet but that is why I ordered it. I have to say it was also delicious. If ever I'm in the area at lunchtime, I'm going to order the pastrami sandwich ($18). It is loaded with pastrami.
