It was good, I don't know if I'm imagining it, but it almost had a slight alcohol taste to it. The box of pastry was pretty epic. I got a chocolate croissant, cinnamon bun, 2 savory scones, a pecan bun, and a blueberry cheese danish. I don't even think I can eat all this but definitely going to try and have to figure out how to freeze the rest? I never figured out how to preserve baked goods. The ones I had were already a little dry, but at 3.99 for this whole box, I can't really complain. The service was fine. The inside is very small and has black walls, which I never am really a fan of, but it's cozy and has few seating. No bathroom though, another thing I don't get with coffee shops or stop in food places. I live around the corner, so luckily I can go home easily if I need a bathroom break. Looks like most people grab and go, or sit for a short time. However, their coffee is strong and they make all the usual cafe drinks, so it's a cute stop if you're in the area.

They've somehow managed to fly below the radar, while still surviving the pandemic. (#1) Thanks to new management, the interior has been spruced up significantly with an all modern feel and a layout that's actually pandemic friendly. It's not big enough to accommodate groups, but a perfect place to enjoy a little Wi-Fi and a little drink. I wouldn't say their coffee is life-changing per se, but it more than gets the job done. Most standard coffee options are available here, from lattes to iced coffees and most are priced well. Like many popular cafes their busiest times are usually in the morning or on occasion the weekend. For the most part the service is quite good. Baristas are friendly and they do a good job at keeping the place clean. This also applies to their bathrooms. I hope they can keep it up and hopefully they won't have to fly under the radar for too long. ______________ (#1) Thank you, new management.

(bad, i know) I thought to get an iced latte only because the barista allowed me to use the bathroom and I wanted to support a local business since he was so kind. However, let me tell you guys, this coffee was absolutely out of this world. I wanted a sugar free option, which they didn't have any syrups (which I understand; natural is better) so I just got a plain oat milk iced latte and added about 4-5 splendas because I like it sweet. And oh my god; that espresso tastes amazing. They use the same oat milk as Starbucks I'm pretty sure, so I was really able to tell a difference in quality. Long story short, this is my new spot, and to the lovely barista, Easten, thank you!!

I opened up a conversation with the barista about the matcha latte I ordered... oh boy!…read more I was curious about how they stored it, which is in a glass jar. I hate to sound pretentious but if you're charging $10 then put your matcha in a container where it's not exposed to light. The barista put 1g of matcha powder in my drink and I was curious about it so I inquired. It was a back and forth conversation where I mentioned to them that places like Kettl (who import their own matcha) charge less than they do and use way more matcha per serving. Second barista came from the back and in front of all the customers asked me "do you make matcha at home"? I replied and said "yes" Her response was classic, she then asks me: "then why are you here"? Seriously, that's how you talk to customers? I responded: "why not"?!?! I can't question what I'm buying because you guys are actually doing it wrong? I guess not. It's shut up and put up at OK Cafe now. I've been a customer here for years but I definitely won't be going back for now. And to the owners, who are a lovely couple... please go do a matcha tasting somewhere in the city and come back refine your matcha recipe and what you're charging the customer.

I decided to try one of their specialty drinks, the Iced Tiramisu Latte. I was pleasantly surprised at how well done it was and for a reasonable price! The cold foam top was creamy, not too sweet, and had cacao dusting on top. It's definitely an indulgent, dessert-like coffee but I found it pleasant to drink and got the caffeine kick I needed.

The barista said that she likes the blend also and she usually doesn't like decaf. This café is very tiny and easy to miss.

I got the seasonal Orange Blossom Latte ($8) and it delicious. Got 1/2 1/2 (1 shot regular espresso & added 1 decaf) The syrup had a medium sweet - floral flavor and ($0 charge) oatmilk was medium creamy. The drink had a lot of berry / fruit undertones. I'm curious about their main location's tasting events because unlike companies that say their coffee, wine, tea have flavor profiles - this 2nd visit to kinship shows the work that goes into their product.
