My latte was made with Stamp Act Coffee, and I really enjoyed its clean, smooth, and naturally rich flavor. You can definitely tell they use high-quality beans. For breakfast, we paired our coffees with a croissant and the pumpkin nutty bread. Both were decent and convenient for a quick breakfast, though the coffee was definitely the highlight of our visit.

Though the location is not a coffee house - they are wholesale - the owner kindly allowed us to buy several bags of coffee. I have not made a cup yet and look forward to tasting it. I like Kalani's focus on quality, environmental impact, and keeping their operation intimate. I'm confident their coffee will be as amazing as their philosophy. My rating is for their business practice and operation which are equally important as the coffee itself. I will update once I taste the coffee. Thank you, Kalani Organica.

I stop by here about 4 times a week for the past 6 months. The coffee is very good and most of the people are friendly. The wait is generally short and there is plenty of room to sit. The outside seating was a bonus this summer. My favorite thing about the place is the pastries. A lot of coffee shops have the same old delivered products. But I've like just about everything I've tried here (about 10 items). The peach danish is AMAZING, and I order it regularly (probably too regular for my waistline...) The ham and cheese croissant is the only one I've found that had a decent amount of ham and cheese. My only negative is I wish they had some more healthy options to balance that peach danish.... but overall a great place. read more

We came here since it was the closest place to us for coffee and I was beyond ecstatic as soon as I walked in! The smell of the coffee and pastries, the friendly service, the relaxed ambiance with soft background conversations -- it was exactly what I needed on that rainy Saturday morning. Initially, I intended to order just a coffee but could not help myself after seeing all the delicious pastries and food people were eating around me. Their pastry selection was absolutely divine and looked amazing: from perfectly flaky and airy croissants, to elaborate pastries with torched meringue or a whole half peach. I was craving something substantial and savory so I got their breakfast burrito this time. The burrito was delicious! It had generous amounts of soft scrambled egg, crispy potatoes, umami chicken sausage, melted Gouda, and a perfect amount of green sambal which added a spicy and herbal kick. It was one of the best breakfast burritos I have had in a while. I really appreciated the Indonesian twist! I also wanted to try something sweet so we tried the cheesecake that was made with goat cheese. It was a bit sweet but also tangy, creamy, and generously portioned. It went very well with my delicious cappuccino. The food was absolutely memorable and warmed my soul! I loved this cozy and friendly cafe. Would come back here in a heartbeat to try their pastries and other breakfast items. Excellent coffee and service! Highly highly recommend.

What stood out to me most was the coffee cake , although the biscuits can be pretty good if you get them warm (they don't heat them up, which I feel is a big miss). They prepare their own jams and there have a couple of other bakery items to go. Coffee drinks wise, I love their seasonal specials. One of the best lattes I've ever had was their current rose latte. I like to order the drinks half sweet since they're a bit too much for me, and it's a perfect balance. Definitely give this a try if you're in the area.

Warning - the pistachio center is liquid so keep your croissant upright and as you pull the pastry, dip it inside. Would love to have had more mornings to try out the raspberry croissant.
