Their pricing is fair for being unique baked goods and I love how diverse their options are.

Again, just milk with a slight hint of the syrup. I always like to try seasonal drinks but now that I'm old, I think I'm just gonna get regular coffee in the future. I couldn't tell you what the coffee tasted like at all. Service was fine, I read a lot of negative reviews but my barista was very nice and friendly. It definitely looked like a great place to relax at, there were quite a few tables and they were all filled. We did not get any of the baked goods; it all looked appetizing though. Next time I'm here, I'll get a cold brew.

I'm a Strange Matter fan, generally, and I love the donuts (vegan, even! What a time to be alive!)…read more Also enjoyed trying the cinnamon bun for the first time, which is an entire pastry-ial feast. They have a good assortment of coffee and non-coffee beverages, too. My only complaint is that there is only one size of hot coffee in a to-go cup, and it's a small. I feel that this is somewhat discriminatory against the caffeine-addicted among us. Anyway, maybe this will change.
