The girl working was nice, she was patient with us. She was doing everything on her own. The pastries were bombbb. Very fresh and soft. The drinks were tasty and we also got a coffee frappe and it was pretty strong I was surprised it wasn't sugary. I think the only uncomfortable experience was her mom came and they were just talking out loud with me and my mom sitting there. I get it though since it was very dead and mom and daughter love. Overall, nice little cafe.

What a name for a bakery...of ALL places! But, in reality, it really IS! SUCH a SWEET surrender!…read more Delicious bakery delicacies, custom made cakes and beautiful ones in the case ready for purchase! Now, aside from that (and don't forget their signature cookies, cake slices, and cupcakes) - where can you go - and FEAST your eyes (and tummy) on such fabulous treats? (They even have a beautiful outdoor covered patio to sit under and fill your tummy with their yummies!) HOLD ON! It gets better! (In my humble opinion...) The clothing side of Sweet Surrender is just as stupendous as the bakery side. Stunning clothes without the "stunning" prices...so professionally displayed...inside a beautiful, spotlessly clean environment. Hard to believe, isn't it?

I will say this for what I have had. I got their chocolate, toffee tarte and that was so good. It was so well balanced out. The cookie top paired so well with the luscious chocolate filling. Staff are also so helpful. They told me about the instagram page where they post about the pastries they have that morning. Once I figure out my sleep schedule, I'm going to make a point to try and get a box of their stuff!

Been coming here for years now and the Adeni Tea is hands down my favorite drink in town. I was…read morealready a milk tea kinda girlie in the boba universe, but this was the first beverage of theirs that I tried and it scratched a certain itch I'd been unconsciously craving. Something old-world maybe? Like a flavor that's existed for centuries and been passed down through time and so so many generations... and it's now landed in our corner of the world that's just a few blocks away? Globalization and the world within, for f' sakes! This place is truly brilliant. More recently, I'm only in town a few days out of the week, but I make a point to visit this location or their other location, Mokhamena on Panama, each day I'm here to, at a minimum, pick up two for myself--the first one is to function and the second is to savor. There was a time I'd pick up the party-size for my coworkers when I liked them... but alas, times have changed so more for me. The staff there are always friendly and awesome, and on days that I'm lucky enough, I get to actually enjoy the cafe. So grateful you guys are here and sharing flavors from across the world.

I was looking for a latte to keep me energized for my day supporting a charity event in town…read more Mokha Cafe came up as one of the top options and I saw a lovely review from my Yelp friend Bethany R. so I decided to give it a try. As I pulled up into the plaza, there was ample parking and the cafe was easy to find. They have a lot of cute tables inside, good for hanging out, studying, or getting some work done. There was also cute fall decor. Looking back at my photos now... I see a discrepancy in pricing for my Iced Pistachio Latte. The physical menu says $8 and the digital menu says $7... not sure what I paid for it because they didn't give me a receipt. I asked for it with Oat Milk, not sure if there are additional charges. On a positive note that iced pistachio latte was delicious, especially the sips with chunks of pistachio sauce. Yum. Wanting to support the small business I also got their Bitifour ($2) and the Baklava ($6). The bitifour was described as a butter shortbread cookie which I really like but this version was on the dry, not buttery, and not sweet enough side for a cookie. The baklava came with 2 pieces in one order. I liked the baklava a lot more than the bitifour. I really liked the pistachio latte but I have a hard time giving a business 5 stars when their pricing is fuzzy. I'm all for pricing changes and increase to adapt to business cost, but it's funny they went out of the way to update the physical menus and not the much easier digital menu.

I came in for the very first time to redeem my birthday freebie and was immediately impressed by how beautiful the shop was. The atmosphere felt so clean, cozy, and welcoming with such a fun vibe all around. As it started getting busy, the workers quickly organized everyone into a line which made the process smooth and efficient. Thankfully, I didn't have to wait long before it was my turn, and I had the pleasure of being helped by Brittany. She was absolutely lovely, super friendly, and incredibly helpful! I genuinely enjoyed chatting with her during my visit and really appreciated all of her recommendations. A1 customer service for sure -- she truly made the experience even better, so I definitely wanted to give her a special shoutout! Even though my visit was brief, I still enjoyed it so much and could already see myself coming back again. For my birthday freebie, I chose the carrot cake flavor and it was delicious! While I was there, I also picked up the cutest sparkler candle. They had so many adorable candles, packaging options, and little extras throughout the store that made everything feel extra festive and gift-worthy. Overall, I loved the vibes here and had such a positive first experience. Definitely looking forward to coming back one day for another sweet treat!
