    Cute cafe with plenty of outlets. The prices are great. I got a black americano and it was just fine.

    Super talented barista... The foamiest lattes and friendly service. This cafe beats most in the area.

It was packed, every table, but one was full, and we were lucky enough to snag that. Even with a full house, the place was very quiet, people respected the "wfh coffee shop" culture, and did not seem to be talking loudly or taking meetings. The drinks were great, not too fancy, but my Matcha was yummy. We also tried a gluten-free zucchini bread and a lemon pound cake which really hit the spot. Prices are pretty fair, and I had no issue finding street parking even on Broadway, although I had a busier time of day, I can imagine it might be more difficult. I love that this place was open later and I would definitely come back I know people have different remarks about the Wi-Fi, the staff gave us extra Wi-Fi codes in case we ran out, yes, there is a timer and you have to make a purchase, but they are very chill about it and will give you a new code if you run out

But me and my mom found this place, and it's amazing. Yesterday, I drew the kind people working, and left it for them. Today, I came back, like we have for the past few days. The kind man offered me any item I wanted on the house, because they loved the drawings I did. I imagined they threw the drawings away, but to think they actually cared a lot about it made my week. Maybe even my month. A huge thank you to everyone who works here for being extremely kind and understanding. You gave me a place to be, somewhere I don't need to worry. Thank you. Now, for an actual review, the food here is very nice. All I really ate were the avocado toasts because that's all I'm familiar with, but of the two I tried, the supreme queen toast is the best. For service, the people here are very kind and attentive. Very respectful. And helpful, they will not make you feel stupid for having questions or needing a smaller menu (I have very bad vision for a 15 year old...). The ambiance is very nice. People are doing whatever they want or need, and don't care about you. Which is a good thing, especially for people who don't like loud or overwhelming spaces. Being open 24/7 is also very wonderful. Sometimes we're up late, after a day of forgetting to eat or just not having to the time to, having a place to eat and hang out is nice. It's also very cold, which is good because it's been very hot outside. Overall, this place is amazing. And I'm very sad to be leaving this area soon, but I hope I can come back again one day. I want everyone working to know how wonderful my experience was, and how much your kindness meant to me.

I ordered an espresso and planned to just sit for a bit -- ended up being there for about an hour. Out of nowhere, I felt like I was being pushed out. They started cleaning around me even though it's advertised as a 24/7 spot, and I was literally the only person there. It just felt unnecessary and uncomfortable. On top of that, they even charged me for water, which caught me off guard. Overall, the vibe didn't feel very welcoming. Maybe I just caught them at a weird time, but between the service and how rushed I felt to leave, it wasn't a great experience.

The Hawaiian motif found around the place is just about as Hawaiian as it gets. The general vibe of this shopping strip is already laid back so that's how it felt even inside. The interior is inviting with a couple prints from Hawaii. One picture reminded me of Kailua while another one is a picture of a lifeguard station. I ordered an iced MacNut Latte. It was definitely tasty and made to order. I also ordered a chupacabra Bonfire burrito. Overall I enjoyed the experience and will be back soon enough. We were meeting friends that day and I didn't take any pictures. I'll be back soon enough!

I was hoping the small coffee would be free with purchase of bag, but I guess it wasn't. The bag of coffee wasn't cheap, so I was disappointed in how over-roasted the beans were. Adjusting grind levels and water temperature, there was always a bitterness or too watered down. The other flavors present in the beans, however, we're quite nice. I was hoping that they would have real kona coffee, but unfortunately their supplier suffered from disaster in Hawaii. Not going to blame them for that, but objectively speaking, if a Hawaiian coffee shop doesn't have Hawaiian coffee, then I am sad about it. At the same time, due to the circumstances, there is a compelling reason to throw some more support behind them.

    There are coffee shops... and then there are places that seem to get you before you even order…read more Corvus Coffee Roasters is that kind of place. I walked in thinking I would grab a quick coffee. I walked out slightly reconsidering my standards. Let's start with the latte. Extra shot, because... life. And this wasn't just caffeine, it was precision. Smooth, layered, no bitterness fighting for attention. The kind of balance that feels intentional, like someone actually tasted it before handing it over instead of just pushing buttons behind a machine. And then the ham and cheese croissant. This is where things got serious. Flaky in that shatters just enough to make a mess but not enough to embarrass you kind of way. Buttery without being heavy. The ham had actual presence, not just a salty afterthought, and the cheese melted into it like it belonged there from the beginning. Indulgent without tipping into regret. And then... the pastry case. It is not a display. It is a trap. You think you have self-control until you are face-to-face with it. Everything looked like it had a point of view. Not just "we make pastries," but we care about what this feels like when you eat it. This is the kind of place where: You come for coffee You stay for the details And you leave already planning your next visit Not loud. Not trying too hard. Just excellent.

    I always enjoy a visit to Corvus. These people really know and love their coffee. The chill…read moreambiance is a big part of the appeal, too. I just wish we had a location out my way near DIA. (Owners' note: it would do really well!) We all enjoyed our drinks, including an Americano, chai, and hot chocolate. I tried their gluten-free muesli slice, which was tasty, though I did notice that other GF items in the case are still displayed alongside non-gluten-free options which results in cross contact. (Yes, I'm that customer who keeps pointing this out!) I do hope they find a dedicated GF baker and rectify this issue soon.
