If you really love caffeine, you can even order a 34-ounce iced coffee bucket. It's a bold option and definitely stands out.
They offer beans from places like Colombia, Ethiopia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Brazil. You can pick the bean you want for your drink, or buy some to roast yourself at home.
During my visit, I ordered a harvest latte with almond milk and an egg, and cheese croissant. I'll start with the win: the latte. It was thoughtful, balanced, and the clear highlight of the visit -- easily the reason I'd return. The croissant didn't stand out as much. It's premade and reheated in the microwave, which is not my personal favorite. The sandwiches taste fresh, and they are handed to you warm, but I wouldn't come back specifically for breakfast.
Even though I stopped in on a busy Sunday morning, the wait was short, which I appreciated. The service felt a bit reserved. It wasn't unfriendly, just not especially warm. That might have been because of the steady rush, not a lack of care.
Overall, it's a good coffee shop. I wouldn't take it off my list; the prices are fair, and the coffee is good.
