The space itself is beautiful. Set within the mall but housed in its own standalone brick-and-mortar building, the architecture really sets it apart and makes the place feel warm and inviting. A great spot all around.

Honestly it's such a vibe here. Admittedly, I come here just for that. The design of the cafe is…read morejust perfect. The see-through windows, the bar seating along the windows that open up, and the one-way traffic across the cafe...all screams cozy and articulate. I like that they post the menus outside too, in case of long lines, so that you don't flip and freak out when you get to the front and don't know what to order. What I've tried off their menu so far, were Americanos, Lattes, hot and cold. Cold drinks are my default though, you can never go wrong with iced coffee. Their white chocolate is popular, they run out quick, but regular choco does well in a pinch. I absolutely love the part where they give the cup to you at the end of the bar, for adjustments and adding in more milk/sugar. And also to see latte art before closing your cup. I don't know what it is, but that part in aspect allows you to take some time to appreciate coffee in general and then go back to the real world. It's just the little things that matter. Also, the employees are just always super uber nice here. They don't judge you for ordering two cups of coffee in one go, they actually commend the action!

We came midday on a Friday and this place was POPPIN. Definitely seems to be a study and hangout spot for college age students. All of the tables were taken with laptops open and there was a steady line of people waiting to order, but it moved quickly. The girl at the register was friendly and helped me decide on a beverage when I was stuck between a couple choices. I went with the Honey Haze which was their cold brew with honey and oat milk. After ordering we got our drinks pretty quickly. They had forgotten to give me a lid at first so when I grabbed it a good amount spilled on my pants and stained them a little, so note to self, do not grab before they give you a lid!! My drink was pretty tasty and the honey flavor was subtle but noticeable and the perfect amount of sweetness. Overall pretty good! My best friend swears by the Mint Mojito and that's exactly what she got. Pretty good coffee and glad we tried.

In a plaza that appeared to be slow or dead leaving lots of space. I parked almost in front - just off to the side. Walk in and it's order at a kiosk. I get automation as it's something I do, I've done and will do as times change. However, I had questions and ended up just ordering something else as there was no human interaction to answer me. Place is deceivingly small - there are a bunch of seating - I wouldn't go in with a large group but definitely places to sit, chat or work on your laptop (saw several students? hammering away on their laptop keyboard). Not sure, but maybe they also offer WIFI.? Drinks seems watered down in my opinion. And I've ordered the same drinks at other locations and either the ingredients were off or it was prepared differently that didn't quite align to my expectations and taste. However, place was busy so maybe it's just how it's served as business was steady and I saw a few order the same as what I got. Don't live in the area so highly unlikely that there will be a return visit.

Shouldn't advertise a circle shape croissant if you can't deliver. That was the entire reason why I ordered it. A few months later I tried the Dubai chocolate. I've had it twice from them. The chocolate is overly oiled down. It barely tastes like chocolate anymore and is overly softened with oil. The kataifeh was overcooked and tasted like frying pan. Almost like if I were to cook something savory like eggs and then cook the kayaifeh right after.. it tasted savory like used oil. I really want to try the Dubai strawberry cup because it looks good but after 3 not good experiences I don't know.... I have sampled their gelato and that was good. So far the only good thing in the store

I didn't realize until I watched the activity behind the counter after my order that each cup is brewed individually. This can take a little bit for orders to come out, but it was well worth it. I tried a brown sugar latte decaffeinated, and went with a little less sweet than normal based on the recommendation. It was a beautifully poured latte and quite delicious.
