I recently tried the blueberry cheesecake for the first time and absolutely loved it. I'm also hoping they bring back the mango cheesecake this summer because it was my favorite. Whenever I'm in the mood for something warm and comforting, I always order the Kashmiri chai. On top of the delicious desserts and drinks, the employees are always welcoming and greet you as soon as you walk in. It is always clean!

I went here during their grand opening and really enjoyed everything!! I went back recently and…read morehave to say, such a disappointment. I got the tiramisu, Dubai brownie, and the white chocolate raspberry cake and nothing tasted fresh like the first time. They barely put any filling for the Dubai brownie which was sad on top of it just not tasting fresh. I may try it one more time before I completely stop going, but I'm really not sure. This was a really bad experience. I hope they do fix it, but if not, I don't see how this location will last.

Scone Emergency = Joyful Triumph!…read more Let me tell you about these scones -- they're not just baked goods, they're buttery, crumbly little clouds of joy. Sweet, flaky perfection in every bite, with a variety of flavors so tempting it's honestly unfair to the other pastries in town. I showed up right at closing time like a woman on a mission -- I had an emergency (yes, scone emergencies are real) because my friends were taking a painfully early flight and I needed to send them off with something that said, "Bon voyage, but with carbs." Not only was I greeted with kindness, but I was offered a delightful selection of scones like it was still mid-morning! The service? Superb. Compassionate. Possibly saintly. The shop itself is also a total gem -- cozy, welcoming, and full of great energy. It's the kind of place where you want to linger, sip your coffee slowly, and pretend you're a local character in a charming indie film. The next morning, I enjoyed the outside with a fresh brew and a scone, soaking in the morning peace and feeling very pleased with myself. Meanwhile, my friends, in their sleepy travel frenzy, forgot their share of scones. TRAGIC for them. But also... YESSSS for me -- more buttery goodness to hoard enjoy! Moral of the story: come for the scones, stay for the kindness and the vibe. And if you're flying out early -- maybe forget a bag so you have an excuse to come back.

Unfortunately i wasn't too satisfied with my drink. I got the iced ube chai and the cup was literally filled 3/4 with ice which meant the ube foam just coated the ice and barely mixed and gave any flavor. The chai tasted heavily of chai concentrate. Overall disappointing for a $7-8 drink.

Heading further in, you'll find the ordering counter, and you can even catch a glimpse of coffee beans being roasted, which adds a nice touch to the atmosphere. They offer both a seasonal menu and a straightforward regular menu, making it easy to find something you like. Overall, the environment felt calm and laid-back. The staff were more on the quiet side personally, I'm used to more outgoing baristas, but that's just a matter of preference.

Their options of cream cheese are also amazing. Service is always fast, so don't let any long line discourage you. The quality of everything here is 5/5. I just sometimes find the value not always hitting the mark. Some days my bagel sandwiches have more substance inside, some times there's less. When they make your sandwiches hearty, the price is justified. When they don't put as much inside, it's hard to justify the value because you know you've gotten better made sandwiches. Their coffee is also very overpriced for what it is. It's not good enough to justify over $5 for a tiny iced coffee, especially when they're using a corporate brand coffee. Wish they'd find some local coffee, then the price would be more justified. Regardless, the taste is always spot on. Just wish they had hash browns!

We stopped by Kindred on our way home and made a quick detour to try their coffee. Ever since…read morestarting my specialty coffee and espresso journey, I've been seeking out local roasters to see what they can deliver--and Kindred certainly didn't disappoint. Everything from their roasts and drinks to the decor was fantastic. My wife had an iced vanilla latte, and I ordered a flat white. The flat white was beautifully balanced with smooth chocolate and light nutty notes, without being overly dark or roasted. I also picked up a 10 oz bag of their Brazil Yellow Bourbon Natural to brew at home. The staff was incredibly welcoming and even brought our drinks right to our table. Highly recommend!

No wonder this place is crowded - the food and drinks are delicious!…read more My husband and I loved the coffee croissant donut, hash brown bread, and Korean iced milk coffee. Prices are reasonable, especially the drink. You get 24 oz for only $4.09 which beats an iced latte at most places. They'll warm up any items for you by request. We ended up taking everything as is, though, because we like pastries cold or room temperature, and we used our air fryer to heat up the hash brown bread the next day. The only thing I didn't care for was the cream cheese pastry. I love cream cheese but there was some flavor added to it that I didn't like, so I would skip all cream cheese items here in the future. My husband didn't mind it, though. We'll definitely be back because we like how you can take your time choosing the pastries at your leisure, the interior is bright and inviting, the employees are kind, the prices are reasonable, and they open early (7 am).

The decor is beautiful and thoughtfully done--it honestly makes you want to just sit back and relax for a while. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. We ordered a dragon fruit refresher, a mocha coffee, a lemon fruit pastry, and the Dubai chocolate cheesecake--and everything was amazing. The drinks were fresh and flavorful, and the desserts were on another level. The Dubai chocolate cheesecake especially was rich, unique, and seriously one of the best desserts I've had. Overall, this place checks every box: great vibes, great service, and incredible food and drinks. Definitely coming back again soon. Highly recommend!

I ordered the adeni chai, Abrar's Chocolate PB smoothie and Chicken puff. First, the adeni chai. The chai was good for the most part but lacked a bit more spice. It was a bit bland. Overall, I think if they added a bit more spice it would add that touch that makes them stand out amongst the thousands of adeni chai in this city. It was missing something compared to when I tried it originally. The staff was nice and answered all questions. The ambiance was very aesthetic and welcoming. The Abrars smoothie was good, I asked what elements went into the smoothie and loved that they used fresh ingredients like real banana, pb, dates and whey protein with less additives. Keep that up. The chicken puff was not good at all. First, it was $6.99, which I did not mind paying but the quality of the product was below average. They heated it up but it seemed old and the chicken inside was like a paste. It seemed like it had been sitting for a while and it was just a big glob of mush altogether. I wish it was more dry, and lacks flavor. This needs to be better. At this point, I don't know if I would ever try any other food here.
