This is kind of funny…read more After work, I was searching for a coffee shop nearby like I usually do, but nothing really caught my attention. So I decided to search outside the area where I live, and that's how I ended up finding this place. The funny part is that I had actually been wanting to visit this coffee shop because I saw their "Fun Flight" menu and thought it looked so interesting. I kept telling myself that I had to come try it someday. But when I searched this time, I was actually looking for a real coffee roaster and ended up here without even realizing it was the same place. Parking was easy and there were plenty of spaces. There are also other shops around, so I don't think parking would be much of an issue. The coffee shop itself was clean, bright, and nice and cool inside. I noticed one of the employees carefully cleaning the glass, and they kept wiping down empty tables and windows throughout the time I was there. Honestly, I've rarely seen someone cleaning so consistently at a coffee shop, and I really appreciated it. It made me feel like they genuinely care about cleanliness. Since it was already afternoon, I wanted something decaf, so I asked if they roast their own decaf coffee. They told me that they roast everything themselves, which immediately gave me more confidence in the coffee. I ordered a flat white and sat down, but then I realized I had completely forgotten to say "iced." Sure enough, I saw the employee making a hot drink. Well... that's totally on me! Soon my coffee came out with a beautiful latte art on top. And then I took my first sip... Oh my goodness. This is GOOD coffee! There was a slight acidity at first, but as I kept drinking, the acidity faded and I was left with a smooth, nutty, creamy latte flavor. I personally prefer medium roasts over dark roasts, and this roast was exactly my kind of coffee. Now I'm suddenly very curious about their matcha, too. I also liked that the overall pricing wasn't too expensive. The Wi-Fi did seem a little slow at times, but it wasn't slow enough to really bother me. And now I'm still sitting here debating whether I should order the matcha latte... The coffee was definitely delicious, and I already know I'll be coming back. Next time, I'm absolutely getting the Fun Flight so I can try several different coffees! Great coffee, clean space, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Definitely worth another visit!

Only thing was the seats on one of the sides were too high for the table. Otherwise great cafe!

I didn't get to try their other food choices, but it seems very tasteful and yet authentic to their culture. My girl ordered their Chai Latte that served in an actual cooking pot. It's great for study nights or even a chill place to drink some coffee. Overall, I'm digging this place, definitely a recommendation whenever you're around the area :)

Inside was decorated really nice, the ambiance was cute and everything was very clean. The service was great, we were unsure on the drink so the cashier made a good recommendation. The pesto chicken sando is what we came for and I was not a total fan of it. I think I was expecting more of a burst of flavor, but it truly tasted how it sounds - chicken with pesto and arugula. The star of the sandwich was the marinated tomatoes, these were fantastic, I wish there were more tomatoes and slightly less chicken to get a more even ratio going. For the price point, I wouldn't get this again. All in all, the sandwich wasn't bad, it was just as expected. Will have to check out the egg salad sando and the beef sando next time, they looked great! The prime beef curry bread was delicious, very tender chunks of beef and the curry had a slight spice. Really good panko crusted bread. Would get this again! The honey toast was great as well, it tasted almost like a custard on top. Had a nice crust and fluffy interior. The Goma matcha latte was not my favorite, it was very Goma forward and I couldn't really taste the matcha. Additionally, it was a little clumpy so when you would sip it you would get a clump of Goma. If I came back, I would likely stick to the pastries as they were standard priced and pretty big for that price. The sandos, I may or may not try again, they were all around $16+ and were stuffed, but still on the small size. I am glad I tried it!

Most seating is indoors with a couple of outdoor tables too. I ordered a hot Spanish latte plus chose a blueberry jam muffin from the pastry case. And a Campfire Cookie as a bonus. The place was fairly full but I found a seat at a counter. The Spanish latte was superb with smooth coffee and cinnamon flavors that blended for a perfectly balanced profile. I appreciated it was at an immediately drinkable temperature. The muffin was really, really good. Really. It was moist, fresh, and full of blueberries and a layer of blueberry jam. The big cookie was quite good, although in all honesty I've had better in this genre. I didn't stay long as there was some annoying guy who'd set up office at a table with his AirPods firmly inserted and loudly giving legal advice in an obnoxious manner that is typical of ambulance-chaser lawyers.
