It has the perfect balance of spices and is creamy. I also tried one of the empanadas. I had my eye on the butter chicken and ended up ordering it because I asked the barista which were the most popular and it was on the list. My final takeaway is that this looks like a great place to get some work done with nice sized table and booths with outlets.

It is a bit challenging to find parking but there are a few spots in front. I parked down the street and walked which is always an option. There are a few stairs to get in but also a ramp, and the set up has a nice aisle like space for the line and plenty of tables and chairs. It can be quite loud so keep that in mind if you want a quieter reflection time, and maybe take it to go or sit outside. They have various food items but I absolutely LOVE their peanut butter energy balls! In fact that is why I came to this location as this is where the magic happens. They make them here and send them to other Tinker locations! They are the perfect blend of savory and a tad sweet and go super well with their coffee and/or London Fog tea. Yum! I will freely admit to buying all they had on hand, and now can enjoy them at home. Yay! It is a very busy spot so not the friendliest of staff, but assumed they were already hassled from the morning. It was a great spot to meet a friend and enjoy the patio and some tea/coffee. I would for sure go back and even bring a friend! In fact I've already mentioned it to several people as a potential meet up spot! Definitely something to enjoy!

There is a small outdoor patio to sit and enjoy your drink. That is where people sit with their four legged friend since they are not allowed in the shop. The shop has a small table with a couple of chairs and a lounge area with a couch and plants inside. It has a living room-like feel to it. In addition to teas, cappuccino, lattes, hot and iced coffees, they have a few homemade baked goods. Be sure to check out some of their signature brews. It has a real chill coffee house type of vibe going. The shop offers catering and is available to be rented for private events after hours. The person working the shop during my visit was very nice and helpful. I got a large iced raspberry white mocha with oat milk. It took less than 5 minutes to prepare and it was very savory. I really liked it. I kept trying to get more out of my cup, even though deep down I knew that I had drank it all. This is an awesome local coffee shop with a great staff, amazing vibe and mouthwatering drinks. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area and looking to get your coffee fix.

I was SO excited to visit Gaia Cafe and Botanical! As much as I'd love to give a better rating, not…read moreevery coffee shop can be a favorite, and unfortunately, this visit left me wanting more. From the moment I walked in, there were around eight customers waiting for their drinks. I drove quite a distance to check this spot out as part of my Coffee Passport journey, so I was committed to giving it a try. I waited about 20 minutes just to place my order, and even then, there were still around five people ahead of me waiting for their drinks. It appeared there was only one employee working, and while she was doing her best and apologizing for the wait, the service experience was difficult. In total, I spent almost an hour there, making it the longest I've ever been at a coffee shop for just "stopping in." I'd seen great reviews of the Cookie Butter Latte online, so I had high hopes! My first few sips were promising, but after giving it a good mix, the flavor became a bit too much for me. The Chicken Bacon Ranch Empanada was good, but it left me wanting a little more too. Another disappointment was the Coffee Passport experience itself. Since it's a stamp-based passport, I was surprised they didn't have a stamp available. Instead, I received a coffee sticker rather than even a shop-specific sticker. With so many other participating coffee shops offering their own stamps, I expected a similar experience here. The space itself was cool, but when you hear "cafe and botanical," you picture a lush, plant-filled atmosphere. I wasn't expecting artificial plants, which took away a little from that vision. Overall, I was genuinely bummed because I had been looking forward to this visit! Between the long wait, the drinks and food not quite meeting my expectations, and the Coffee Passport experience, I can't say I'd make the trip back anytime soon. If it were closer to home, I might consider giving it another chance, but for now, this one just wasn't a favorite!

The pretzel was sooooo soft and the cheese was like a sauce- runny and absolutely out of this world. Not the yellow thick cheese you so frequently get with a pretzel. The other kid got the avocado bagel and loved it. We will be back. There's so much more to try. Wait wasn't too bad for a bustling Sunday.

After tip, my ginger latte cost $10 and was served in a to go cup despite saying we were sticking around. It seemed like this was the case for many others in the shop as well. Something about a $10 latte in a to go cup loses its charm and the overall communal vibe of sticking around. It's such a great location and the drinks are fabulous.

This is a nice minority owned small business that serves coffee and pastries. The owner was running things while I was there and he was very friendly and helpful. The shop is kind of retro and has a small dining area that you can enjoy your purchases it. I will admit, the pastries did not look too appealing to me. They looked like they had been there a while. They have a small coffee menu that is direct and to the point. My friend order a coffee Americano and I asked the barista for something sweet and tasty. He suggested a Somali tea. It did not take long for us to get our drinks. My friend said his was good. Much better than the chain coffee shop that starts with S. Mine was good too. It was piping hot. I had to let it cool down a bit, before I could fully enjoy it. This shop has some very reasonable prices. You can't beat them. It has great ownership and a cozy/quaint dining area. I recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.

FYI to those who may have a physical handicap the prevents climbing steps, there are 2 sets of steps to enter the building, I didn't see any handicap accessible entry when I went there. The area to order coffee was really small and could comfortably fit about 5 people in the line inside the ordering station. There were places to stand in the foyer to wait as well, but in my opinion even though there is an open space in the foyer you could be potentially blocking someone's walking space since the ordering station is next to the entrance and the seating areas are in the entryway. I ordered their seasonal From the Past Latte w/ matcha and whole milk. They mentioned that the wait time to receive the drink was 10 minutes, which was understandable with how busy they were, but to my surprise I actually received my drink in half that time. The drink tasted great and if I was still in the area I'd go there again. I definitely noticed for such a small space, the staff were efficient and moved quickly to get everyone their correct orders.

It's also kind of warm - they had a bunch of loud fans going. I don't know if that's just because it's summertime and the building is old and harder to cool or if they had water damage from all the rain and are drying out. It didn't bother me but noting that in case it does bother others.
