The staff was also super polite and welcoming. That said, the drinks were a bit of a mixed bag. I ordered the orange cardamom latte for myself and a pistachio latte for my husband. The orange cardamom latte was honestly pretty underwhelming. Instead of a bright, zesty citrus note, it came across as purely linear and sour. Mix that sourness with whole milk, and it just didn't taste right or appetizing at all, and the cardamom was way too subtle to save it. On the other hand, the pistachio latte was actually really delicious. The only catch? It didn't taste like pistachio at all. It was very vanilla-forward instead. So while it was a great cup of coffee, missing the actual featured flavor was a bit of a letdown. Great vibe, sweet staff, and nice outdoor seating, but the specialty flavors could definitely use some tweaking.

Their birria burritos are absolute heaven, and somehow they're even better the next day if you manage to have leftovers. It's so delicious that we've never ordered anything else. The proportions of meat and egg are perfect. Flavors melt together, and they have two delicious homemade salsas. They don't take reservations, but they seem to have their ordering and seating system down to maximum efficiency. You stand in line to order, but then someone helps you find seating for your party. We've never had a long wait, even for Sunday brunch. Ambiance is good; they've really done their best to make their charmless strip mall location feel like something nicer. But at the end of the day, you are still in a charmless strip mall.

I've ordered it here multiple times to give them the benefit of the doubt, but each time it has been sour. If you're looking to sit down and get some work done, definitely come earlier in the morning, because the place gets packed fast around 11am/12pm. There's a lot of foot traffic, especially since Trader Joe's and Costco is right there.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Enrique, who had such a warm and welcoming demeanor. We took a moment to look over the menu, and he quickly picked up that it was our first time. After we confirmed, he asked about our coffee preferences--strong, sweet, or somewhere in the middle--and walked us through the seasonal menu with some great suggestions. My wife ordered the iced lavender vanilla, and I went with the iced café carmelita. He also asked if we wanted food, so we tried the lemon blueberry loaf and a turkey avocado sandwich. Everything did not disappoint. The drinks were amazing--Enrique absolutely nailed the recommendations--and the turkey avocado sandwich was especially memorable. While our drinks were being made, we had some friendly small talk with the staff, which added to the experience. The overall vibe was great. The team was super friendly and attentive--when a line started forming, other staff jumped in right away to make sure no one was left waiting. I'm really glad we stopped in and gave this place a shot. We'll definitely be back!

I tried two drinks, a Vietnamese iced coffee made less sweet and a 3/4 sweet peach... peach something. I forget the name, but the menu is small it's the peach one. Both were fantastic. Definitely on the sweet side but not "this is melted ice cream" sweet like I've had at some places. I'd still probably get the peach one 50% next time. The Vietnamese iced coffee was very intensely flavored, had a great texture, and for whatever reason wasn't as hyper-caffeinated as some I'd had. I've had some Vietnamese coffees that made me feel like I was going to bounce off the walls, this was more mellow. But it still has the strong coffee flavor I'm used to. The peach drink was super refreshing, full of peach flavor, but again the level of sugar wasn't cloying at all. And the little chunks of peach added a nice texture to the experience. Again, not an expert on milk tea/boba, but this was probably some of the best I've had, definitely the best I can remember. Inside the shop is a bit spartan but there's seating for a few groups. You order via a kiosk and then someone brings the drinks out to the counter, so it's a bit impersonal. They take credit cards and the parking lot is a little tight.

My daughter showed me what she had ordered me at the kiosk. I thought great, and took pictures of the inside of the shop (it was empty) We sat down, and noticed the height of the table was very low to the benches, and the stools were very squat, more child sized. I did think the shop was nicely decorated, and appeared clean. I asked my daughter did she see any employees when she arrived, and she replied no. I thought that was weird, and she laughed and said she ordered and paid through the kiosk. After a while a lady appear from behind the curtain, and said "Your order", no eye contact or smile. We grabbed our drinks, and walked out, taking sips of our different teas. Mine was very sweet, and my daughters was very strong, it tasted over brewed and too sweet. We really disliked her tea flavor. We were disappointed, I added water and ice to mine, it helped, my daughter's tea order was a loss.

We love the ambiance, the genuinely wonderful staff, and how much care and pride they put into their drinks. You can see it thru their consistency is always creating the perfect cup everytime. One of my favorite things about this place is how well balanced the drinks are. I'm especially picky about iced mochas. I want to actually taste the espresso and chocolate, not something overly sweet or artificially flavored syrup and they get it right every time. Their mocha is rich and chocolatey without tasting like syrup, and the sweetness complements the coffee instead of overpowering it. It's exactly what I want in a morning coffee. They also have delicious meaty tamales sometimes which is such an unexpected and charming addition for a coffee shop, especially alongside Miss Miggins British pasties. Those little touches are part of what makes this place feel so unique. Between the atmosphere, the staff, the pastries, and consistently great coffee this is genuinely what we look forward to as a treat.

The coffee presentation was also beautiful, and I had no complaints about that. But then I saw "Espresso Market Price" on the menu. I'm sorry, but what exactly are we tracking here, the coffee market? I understand market price at a seafood restaurant when you are ordering fresh fish, but for a single shot of espresso, that was a first for me. I ended up paying $5.50 for one single shot of espresso, and the latte was also $5.50. On top of that, I waited about 14 minutes for the espresso and latte. For two coffee drinks, that felt like a long wait. The croissants and some of the other pastries also did not look as fresh as I expected. The atmosphere is great, the presentation is impressive, and the concept is definitely cool. But when I pay $5.50 for a single espresso and have to wait 14 minutes, I expect the overall experience to match the price.
