Stopped in with some friends this afternoon for a banana bread latte since I have been seeing it all over TikTok & Instagram. It was incredible.
The cafe is itty bitty; enough for maybe 5 people to hang out. They had a few outdoor tables/benches and It looked like they were adding more seating on a little patio very soon. So cute. The ordering process (for lack of better words) is idiot- proof. Theres a touch screen where you place the order yourself, but they also have control of it on their side, so if you need help they can help! Super innovative.
Most of the espresso+milk drinks ( latte, shaken espresso, etc.) were around $8.50. For Starbucks I'd probably say no thanks, HOWEVER for a local shop like this with unique flavors, I am absolutely willing to pay that. I felt that for the latte I got, it was 100% worth it. It tasted like a legit slice of banana bread and was decently sized. It seems like they put a lot of time, effort, and money into creating the flavors, which I really respect. I worked at a coffee shop for some time and it is lots of work. I appreciate seeing cafes have individuality and genuinely try hard to create something people will love.
The manager took my order. I know she is the manager because I saw the TikTok of her guessing drink flavors by getting them thrown at her, actually hilarious, sorry queen. (They are slaying the social media marketing). She was kind, helpful, and didn't make me feel rushed when ordering. And the girl who made my drink was very quick while making sure the quality was the best it could be.
I love supporting locally owned businesses, and I love to support locally owned women owned businesses even more. Girl power.I will be back to try the Black & White cookie latte, as well as the Dubai Dreams Latte. Thank you Sippin Serenity! read more
