    Good coffee but not a place to hang out. It's a small space. They don't offer ceramic cups for your espresso, which was a bummer. But they have very fun drinks like a spycyboi, which my +1 enjoyed. We took our drinks to the park across the street and sat to enjoy them. Got a peek at the "secret" bar and hope to check that out on my next visit to the city.

    Dope coffee shop!! Lorenzo and Angelica were hilarious. Most importantly the coffee was on point. We will come here every day until we leave after our business trip.

    It was a cute hole in the wall spot but i ordered my coffee half sweet and it was soooooo sugary and i asked the staff if it was actually half sweet and they doubled down and said they didnt put too much sugar. waste of money because i couldnt even drink 2 sips

    Rosemary latte

    Best latte I've had in a while. Got the rosemary latte that the barista recommended. Super friendly guy. Great convo while I waited for him to make it. They apparently make all the syrups in house which is a plus. And when a spot has this ice. You already know it's gonna be a good latte.

    Rosemary Oat !! Johnathan is a sweetheart and knows Wtf he's doing behind that counter! This is damn GOOD coffee
    Hope S.

    Probably my favorite coffee shop in the city!!! The rosemary oat is a gem, and any plain latte. I need to try more of the menu because I just know it's all great!

    Chai

    It's a small coffee shop with little seating, so it's a quick grab and go place for some great drinks and pastries. I ordered the Chai today and it was great! Usually Chai can be too milky and sweet, but this one had a nice kick of spice to it. I also got a free check-in cookie. I would get it every time but definitely not good for me, even though the chocolate chip tastes amazing!

    super cute little place that is so easy to miss ! I walked by it twice before realizing it's a little below street level. I got their spicy boy latte, and true to its name, it was v spicy. Definitely not my favorite coffee drink, but it was intriguing enough that I'm looking forward to giving their other drinks a shot sometime, especially ~ after hours ~ at patent pending.

    The little coffee shop that could. Opening today with stellar machines and sweet treats by Pain D'Avignon and cookies by the senior food editor of Bon Appetit magazine.The smell of the coffee here is intoxicating. Can't wait to stop by for my morning brew en route to my office and some sweet treats. Hot and cold brews abound. P.S. Tried the cookies- thin, crispy and amazing!! #Epiccookies

    Just the closed door. It's 2:30

    Not open during posted hours of operation What a waste. Google says they're open, Apple Maps says there open, Yelp and their own website says they are but yet they're not. This is an un reliable business and not worth the time

    Is there seating?

    Hey Rupert thanks for reaching out! We're pretty small, but do have a bench outside and four stools inside to relax on. So, not much sitting but a little. Cheers!

    Stopped by Daily Provisions to order breakfast on a Wednesday morning. There's seating indoors…read more(with low back stools) and seating out front (about four tables). I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

    I've been here a few times but today I finally came early enough to try the famed Lumberjack, a…read moreB.E.C. sandwiched between a maple cruller. It's delicious. The peppery, thick bacon and the quite sweet, icing-topped cruller are a beautiful study in contrasts. The egg was nicely runny. I will say that's it's definitely not a good on-the-go sandwich, as it falls apart easily. However, I don't think this is a great spot for coffee. I was a bit underwhelmed by my latte, which tasted more like thin drip coffee than a rich, strong espresso. I also think they could offer more sweetener options.

    The Cardamom Latte (9/10) was almost perfect. I got it with oat milk, which made it nice and nutty…read more The espresso was on the lighter side, so I wished it had a richer, stronger espresso flavor, but it was still really satisfying and not too sweet. The Almond Croissant (7/10) had an amazing flaky crust, dense interior, and crispy almonds on top. Honestly, probably the best almond croissant I've had texture-wise, but I'm not a huge fan of almond paste in the middle, which is probably just because I'm not really an almond croissant person. The Cardamom Bun (8.5/10) was the best cardamom bun I've ever had!! The bread was super soft and pillowy, almost like a dinner roll, but the outside was caramelized and had so much cardamom flavor. It was perfectly sweet and I could genuinely eat so many of these. This one made me love cardamom buns, and I'm not sure if any others will top it. Vibes were a 9.5/10.

The cardamom bun is La Cabra's signature laminated cardamom bun , and the pain suisse (my personal fav) was so delicious!!!
