While out on my morning walk, came across this gem of a coffee shop, now please note the store was…read morenot open yet but there was a line of regulars patiently waiting outside before it opened so I knew I had to try this place and boy was it great! First off: a very simple coffee menu (no Starbucks or Dutch Bros foo foo stuff here) just real Italian coffee. I ordered a macchiato with a double shot of espresso I noticed the pastries and you can't have a great Italian coffee without a delicious pastry. Sat down to enjoy my coffee and pastry a wonderful and delicate smell: freshly baked croissants, and other pastry goodies soooooo I had to enjoy another pastry and again, it was delicious. Overall great coffee and delicious pastries!

What a wonderful and nostalgic experience for me. The owner is a family friend and truly made my…read morefamily and I feel at home when we walked in. The love and passion expressed here in the coffee and aesthetic is absolutely reminiscent of Italia. I mean if you're Italian, you'll immediately fall in love with this place, but even if you're not, this place screams "class" and "family." Highly recommend.

Such a cute and chill cafe spot! My friend and I went on a Saturday morning. The owners were…read moreincredibly welcoming and they were having conversations with everyone who came in. The service was prompt! Parking is available around the block, pretty easy to find space. There was a great selection of sweets. There was indoor and outdoor seating. I got the tiramisu latte and my friend got the pistachio latte. We also enjoyed the Nutella and pistachio croissants. Drinks were adorable! Taste was great. I'd probably pass on the croissants next time and try another baked item. Would definitely visit again! Great spot for friends, family, or a date. Definitely visit if you're in the area!

Akar is such a beautiful cafe shop you should def take the opportunity to try. I stopped by just…read morerandomly looking up somewhere nearby to try. The two people behind the counter were extremely friendly and welcoming. It was noon and I was the only person at this time. I asked for suggestions they recommended the banana pudding latte or tiramisu and I decided on tiramisu which was beautifully presented and strong! I usually like sweet but this was decent I also didn't ask for more sugar in it. I tried their almond croissant which although it wasn't warmed up tasted good. Overall I'd come back to try other drinks.

Came here for the first time and decided to try the passion fruit smoothie. The flavor itself was…read morepretty good at first, but the smoothie started separating almost immediately which made the texture kind of weird. I had to keep mixing it while drinking it and after a while it just wasn't that enjoyable. I probably wouldn't order that smoothie again. The place itself was cute and pretty busy when we went, but the line moved fast and our drinks came out quickly. There were also a good amount of places to sit. I could see it being a nice spot to grab coffee or a drink with a friend, but I'd probably try something different next time. Overall an okay experience, just wasn't a huge fan of the smoothie.

Came here for the first time and ordered the mango smoothie. It was good but I ordered it with…read morecoconut milk and it seemed like they put coconut water. It started separating really fast so had to drink it pretty fast. Overall not a bad smoothie but not anything to ride home about. It was super busy when we went but the line moved fast, our drinks came out pretty fast and there were enough places to sit. Not sure if I would be able to study here due to how busy it was when we went I'm sure it depends on the time you go but definitely a nice place to grab a drink with a friend or something.

I stopped by here after lunch with my friends since we wanted an afternoon coffee and it was…read morenearby. One of my friends had actually mentioned wanting to check out this Colombian coffee spot, so we decided to stop by. I ended up getting a large iced coffee ($5), and it was solid. I also noticed they had fresh baked goods behind the counter, which is always a good sign. Then I spotted the fresh pandebono and had to try one ($2.35). As I suspected, it was fresh and warm from the first bite. It tasted really good, and you could see pieces of cheese inside. If you're in the mood for good coffee and you're a fan of pandebono, I highly recommend this place. * Street parking * Get the Pandebono

This was easily one of the worst coffee shop experiences I have ever had. From the moment I walked…read morein, the place looked unsanitary and neglected. The environment did not appear clean, and it gave the impression that basic hygiene standards were not being taken seriously. The employees were rude, dismissive, and seemed uninterested in helping customers. The food tasted stale and poorly prepared, and the coffee was served cold and lacked any quality or flavor. The most alarming part of my visit was noticing roaches inside the establishment. Seeing pests in a place that serves food and drinks is completely unacceptable and immediately raised concerns about the overall cleanliness and safety of the business. I rarely write negative reviews, but this experience was genuinely disturbing. Management needs to make major improvements to sanitation, customer service, and food preparation. Until those issues are addressed, I would strongly advise others to avoid this coffee shop.

Me and my boyfriend had shared "combo dos" which came with a ham & cheese sandwich and boripapas (potatoes and chorizo), and I when I tell you it hit the spot, it really did.

Nicolly was our server this past Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. But I really enjoyed the Pistachio croissant & my partner also enjoyed his classic American breakfast plate very much.

Sierra Coffee Shop is a great little spot. The iced coffee was tasty with a perfect medium blend…read moreroast, not too dark, not too light, just right. It didn't taste like burnt newspapers. The staff was friendly, there's WiFi, places to sit, and they roast the coffee right there. They also have small treats to grab with your drink. And yes, there are actual birds inside the shop, which definitely makes the place memorable. Chirp Chirp. I've been here three times, usually late morning, and it has never been too busy. The only downside is parking since Ridge Road can be a little ruff. Check it out guys.

Great quality coffee! I had a cortado that was absolutely perfect. Friendly service too…read more Comfortable space. I will be sure to stop again next time in the area.

I came here with my sister and mom for a quick lunch and coffee and found the setting to be…read moreincredibly cozy and clean. The interior features a chic aesthetic with heavy rose gold accents that give it a high end feel (women will love this place). While the atmosphere is great, seating is limited so you should be prepared to wait for a spot especially if you visit on the weekend. I usually expect these Instagram or TikTok viral cafes to be all style and no substance but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the brew. I have visited three times now and the espresso is consistently excellent. Whoever is pulling the shots knows exactly what they are doing because the coffee is never burnt and tastes incredible even when ordered black as an espresso or Americano. On this visit I tried the Pistachio Latte with reduced sweetness and it was delicious. The pistachio flavor tasted authentic rather than synthetic and it melded perfectly with the coffee. My sister absolutely loved the Rose Matcha, which is the same drink my fiancee enjoyed on a previous visit. Even my mom was glowing about her Cappuccino which is a rare treat since she is notoriously hard to please. For our meal we ordered the Caprese Chicken Crepe and the Chipotle Chicken Melt. The crepe was a hit with my mom and sister and the portion size was just right. The Chipotle sandwich had great flavor though it was definitely on the greasy side. You will want a stack of napkins ready if you order it but it was still a solid sandwich overall. On a previous visit, we tried the Tres Leches which unfortunately did not live up to the rest of the experience. It tasted bland a bit like a boxed cake and I was not a fan, I might try the Tiramisu on my next trip instead. Despite the dessert miss the staff here is super friendly and sweet. They never make you feel rushed and take the time to explain the menu options thoroughly. If you're in the area and need a high quality cup of coffee Haute Dulce is a fantastic spot that will actually satisfy your expectations.

It is halal friendly and there are tons of what looks like amazing pastries inside. I'll have to try some next time as I just had a cappuccino.
