After having my first peanut butter latte in Tucson that blew me away I was super excited to see a PB Banana latte here at Chapter 2. Unfortunately, the peanut butter was subtle and I think they forgot the ripe banana because I couldn't detect any. The espresso came through nicely though. We also got their almond crossiant. The cashier asked if I wanted it warmed up and I said yes. We waited and waited and by the time we were halfway done sipping our coffee, I had to go up to ask about it. The young girl actually gave me a straight face and acted like they didn't forget and when they served it to us it was not heated up. At that point I'm like why bother asking again. All-in-all it was okay. They do have a very exciting menu with interesting flavor combo lattes. Maybe I ordered the wrong drink? Probably won't return since I was not wowed on this first visit. Onto Chapter 3 of my coffee adventures...

They're advertised as a puree of real fruit but they buy a bottle from Giovani Chilla and somehow make a smoothie out of it. The smoothie was overwhelmingly sweet so not a fan.

Ordered a beef burger with Chipotle sauce along with banana matcha, strawberry matcha, and a pb&j protein shake. The burger patty flavor was very good, seasoned with halal flavors but the patty itself is thin and patty to bun ratio could use a bit if improvement. The bun was larger than the patty. Loved the fries! The strawberry matcha had a slight sweetness from the strawberries which helped but it lacked the matcha flavor. The banana matcha lacked matcha flavor as well. But the pj&j protein shake was excellent. You had the option of whey proteinb or vegan protein. We went with whey protein. I would definitely return to try another shake. Plenty of parking and easy to get to. Service was fast and staff were very friendly.

I've been wanting to try this coffee shop for a while (for the Matcha and the vibes, of course)…read more Drove down here last Thursday on an absolutely beautiful day. It's located in a strip mall with tons of parking spots. The barista was friendly and quickly took my order, but since he was working alone, it took quite a while to get my drink and bites. I wasn't in a rush, so I didn't mind waiting. We were also entertained by some outside salon drama between two ladies. Hopefully they were able to work things out. As a Matcha aficionado, I wanted to try their honey pistachio Matcha. I also ordered some mozzarella sticks and a Cortado for my husband. My drink was a tad too sweet (too much pistachio syrup), but I still liked it. Mozzarella sticks were fine. I paid about $21 for everything including tip. I like the be kind messages on the cups and the black aesthetic was pretty cool. I wouldn't mind returning to this coffee shop as it was a pleasant drive from my house. I'd like to try some other pastries and definitely will have another matcha, but will request light on the syrup!

Another day, another coffee shop! This time I visited Safwa Specialty Cafe. I had seen them on…read moresocial media several times and decided to finally check them out, and I am so happy I did. The inside was warm and cozy, with plenty of seating and adorable decor. I saw many people chatting or typing away on their computers, so it is clearly a welcoming place no matter the occasion. They have a solid food menu alongside classic coffee and tea selections. While they offer fun specialty coffees and refreshers, my favorite part was their seasonal menu. This time around, I tried a bit of everything. I ordered the raspberry almond shortcake matcha as well as the sticky toffee pudding latte from their winter menu, and then added the Spanish latte from their specialty lineup! Of course, we needed even more, so after being stuck between the smoked salmon toast and the hummus toast, I opted for the latter. I was so happy with my choice! It was a light, refreshing homemade hummus topped with a Mediterranean salad of cucumber, onion, and tomato. The balance between the cheese, the creamy hummus, and the crisp salad was amazing. To finish, because a sweet treat is essential, we got one of their pastries: the cheese danish. The food was great, the drinks were even better, and the staff was super friendly. This is a must-visit spot and I can't wait to be back!
