First, I do have to pay respect where it is deserved. My coffee was okay; I couldn't tell the quality apart from other indie coffee joints. I think it's great that they have different things going on like films and whatnot. The decor is interesting and hipster; not my thing, but to each his own. I would've given a better rating if it weren't for my dissatisfaction with the owner, however. If you're looking for an opinion on service, price and decor, I'd give it a three. Now, I seriously love coffee. So when I heard that my business college at UH was hosting a guest speaker for a place called Coffee Talk, I had to go down there to see what it was all about. Next day, I sat in on the presentation with the owner. She was a guest speaker for the PACE "Inspiring Innovation" Speaker Series, which brings in local entrepreneurs to share their success stories. Of all the entrepreneurs I've met over the years, she has got to be the absolute worst speaker to bring in to inspire students. She attributed all her success to "luck." Honestly, I don't doubt it. My issue, however, is not with her lack of public speaking skills or enthusiasm. My major issue is that not only is she seemingly uneducated in business--all of her advice was incredibly biased and ignorant and her ignorance leads her to believe that the public opinion is of no consequence: She INSULTED Yelpers. Yes. Every one of you--everyone who has ever left a review on yelp and all of you who have given her business four or five stars--she does not appreciate it at all, nor does she acknowledge that good reviews exist. She ignorantly doubts the credibility of Yelp, AND the INTEGRITY and HONESTY of reviewers. I was furious. When talking about Yelp, she played off every bad review as it being the short-sightedness or dishonesty of the reviewer. Basically, it was always that the customer is wrong. I don't have to be in business college to understand that that is a piss-poor outlook as a business owner. If you don't take into consideration the darker opinions of your customers and just shrug it off as if there's something wrong with them, you are blind or willfully ignorant. If you can't take the heat, get out of the damn kitchen. She openly admitted she does not like Yelp. She stays away from it pretty much because she cannot handle reading bad reviews. She then proceeded to say that NO ONE ever writes a review if they're satisfied; people only write reviews to complain and that if you look at their yelp account, you'll only see bad reviews. She basically denied the credibility or weight of bad reviews. I looked. Her claim isn't true at all. She told the entire audience--of which a good 70% USE YELP--that none of them write "good" reviews. Under my breath I muttered "are you kidding? Cause I fucking do.." and I got some glares from people in the front row--I do apologize for being rude. Nonetheless, it's true. I, like THOUSANDS of other people, DO write reviews when we are satisfied/happy. I don't even have to prove it; just look at all of the good reviews Coffee Talk has gotten!! Look at all the good reviews anyone has written on Yelp EVER. "No one" writes a review when they're happy? I seriously beg to differ. How damn ignorant. And how sad for all of the people that did leave her company good reviews. You can tell she's one of those old people who deny the usefulness of tech and social media. Just a note: her entire interview is on video at the PACE office at UH Manoa if you want to check it out. When she addressed different customer issues, she came off with a meek yet sort of "mother knows best" attitude. One thing she addressed was their strict no outside food policy. Her reason was that it's "disrespectful" and upsets her. Again. Piss-poor business practice and pretty unprofessional. A professional reason should have been cited such as "unfortunately, it cuts into profits." But honestly, no one brings food to BE disrespectful. That's the coffee culture here if you haven't noticed. Spend time in any damn Starbucks. They know they're not a restaurant. If you want to eat some real food with your coffee or tea it's completely reasonable. Think about it this way, they chose one of YOUR drinks to have with their food. Instead of kick them out, you could be grateful. They could've grabbed a drink where they got food. Those that have had to leave will likely not be returning. Seems more a loss than a gain. Lastly, she advised everyone to never ever work with a partner, just because she had issues with ONE. It's a bit egotistical to think you can give hundreds of aspiring business majors advice based off ONE experience, off your FIRST and ONLY venture. Many aspects can affect my satisfaction with a venue. For this one, the owner's ignorance, ego, and rudeness toward Yelpers caused me to have the worst possible opinion of any business associated with her. I will not be supporting any business owned by this woman. read more

Keeping it short and sweet, I recommend Coffee Talk for its freshly brewed iced teas, quiche of the day, and baked goods. The barristas make you feel welcome and are amenable to making recommendations if you are new to tea or coffee. Although I tend to visit Coffee Talk for the lychee or blood orange iced tea, they offer a full menu of lunch options. The seating area is comfortable and large enough to accommodate the lunch crowd. This is a viable option for meeting with clients, or catching up with an old friend. read more

Coffee Talk was once my go-to "home office away from home". No more. They decided they didn't want me in there banging away on my laptop. Free wi-fi is no more. So if you don't have great food nor great coffee, what would be my reason for coming in? I used to buy on average a tea and a sandwich totaling roughly $7-8. I'd stay for 2-4 hours. Now if I were to go in there (which would not happen--just hypothesizing) I would have to buy something every hour to keep my connection going. If that sounds reasonable to you, consider that after I get auto-logged out, I will likely have to restart my computer because their ShakaNet setup is so shaky that it won't simply let me log back in with my newly purchased access code. Average 15 minutes wasted just trying to get back on the Internet by buying some crap muffin I don't even want and haggling with the login. I have Internet at home, thanks. And better coffee. Coffee Talk, if you're listening, SCRAP THE INTERNET TOLLBOOTH. Take a cue from Coffee or Tea and team with Kokua Wireless to grant free access. They place a persistent banner across the browser that shows ads from local establishments. That is a price I am willing to pay. read more

On the corner of Waialae and 12th, I've always passed by this place with the thought of one day stopping by and grabbing a cup of joe. That day has finally come but I didn't come for the coffee! I came for believe or not, one of their sandwiches-the Greek Chicken Salad. Other than food, of course they have you guessed it, coffee. They have an impressive list of latte flavors which I badly wanted to try but opted against because coffee at 3:45 in the afternoon will have me staring at the clock for another 12 hours to say the least. The sandwich came out quickly on toasted bread which is always a plus for me and the chicken salad was everything my taste buds imagined them to be. Greek salad is one of my favorite salads so to have it in the flavor of a chicken salad and between two slices of toasted bread, magnificent! The coffeehouse itself is spacious and the decor is photo worthy either in a selfie, ussie or groupie. The barista came off aloof but was helpful when I asked him several questions about their items. I'm going to have to come back again at an earlier time and try their coffee or I might just have to end up getting one to go but decaffeinated. Awesome place and I'm glad I finally stopped in after a year and a half of passing it by. read more

Talk Kaimuki - That's a LATTE flavors! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I like Coffee Talk. Because my writers' group meets here twice a week, I feel comfortable writing a review. So here goes - fasten your seatbelts. Kudos for a cool interior. Artsy posters adorn the walls. The building once housed a bank, and what do you do with the old vault? Rip off the door and make a great little meeting room, of course. They even left exposed the ferro-cement walls complete with dangling iron re-bars for your viewing pleasure. Tacky to some, but not in my book. (Tasteful is so boring, dahling!). I'm adding style points here. Staff? Well, I've only seen two - a wahine and a guy with glasses. They are both really, really nice. How nice? Well, when I asked for square of banana bread the young woman offered me a choice between a corner piece and one in the middle. Everybody knows the corner pieces are the bestest. She could've saved these for herself and the guy with glasses, but she didn't. Bless her heart. I'm awarding credit here. You got a problem with that? And the guy with glasses? Major league all the way. One evening he gave our group a plate of ham and cheese croissants just before closing time. Now, how nice is that? I mean he and the wahine could have split them for themselves, but he chooses to treat our little group instead. The ham and cheese will be long remembered. Granted, we have yet to see additional acts of charity, so guy with glasses if you are reading my review, please take this as a big hint! So how's the rest of the food? Delish in most cases. Muffins, breads, scones, cookies all do what muffins and scones are meant to do - put a big smile on your face and force you to eat every last crumb on the plate. Lots of quality points here. There is one sticky problem I must mention. The pastrami and cheese melt was greasy. Buy hey! What do you expect? These things always have more oil than Arabia, and you shouldn't be eating them anyway. Try the tuna and avocado - it tastes so good you won't even know it's healthy. All right .. what's next? Seating .. it comes and goes! Maybe room for 30. One long table in the vault plus lots small tables scattered around the rest of the shop. Management has no problem with customers pushing chairs and tables about. But there's a problem with the lack of abundant electric outlets, so come fully charged. (Your computer, not you). Because it's an old building this will not change. But look at it this way. If you stay here long enough to discharge your computer, you should get some fresh air least people think you're a nerd, right? Anyway, I can live with it. Hopefully you can too, or else you will miss out on this fun little coffee shop. Seat availability? Depends on the time of day. This place can get crowded, but I've never seen it completely filled. In the late afternoon it's popular with students. (Honestly, these kids look too young to even drink coffee, but maybe this is because they have drunk so much already it's stunted their growth. I hope this hasn't happened to you.) Bathrooms! Coffee drinkers need them so let's get on with it. Men's first. Ok, the toilet and sink are clean in the men's depository, and I've thought twice about making a visit. But there are demerits here. First, the obscenities scratched on mirror. They are misspelled! I'm sure the authors hale from "too young to drink" set outside. Either this is a sad commentary on the state of modern education, or maybe the kids have had a few too many lattes. I just have one word to say here. Spellcheck! And one other demerit. The floor. It's grimy. Not disgusting. Not foul. It just needs moping more often. Perhaps it's due to the construction work outside, but for whatever reason, the floor here needs more attention. Now for the wahines' clubhouse... no problems here... at least in my abbreviated view. It's clean, floor and all. No obscenities, and if there were any I am sure the spelling would pass muster. (I can see what you're thinking! How do I know about the WWC - women's water closet? Because when the men's side is closed for "cleaning", I ventured across enemy lines. Rest assured... I knock before entering. Well, maybe it's a quiet knock, but I do knock, honest I do.) So shall we sum it up? Coffee? You want to hear about coffee? Well, to be honest, it's only average. It does the job, but it's not great. Were it so, I'd award another star. As for parking, there's a metered lot behind the building and a "take-a-ticket" lot across the street on 12th (which is best if you're not sure how long you're staying). The food is good, the staff friendly and the ambience great. And isn't this what you want in a coffee shop? So if you're in the area, give it a try. And if you are not, then take a special trip uptown to Kaimuki and pay Coffee Talk a visit. You'll be glad you did. read more

No the Coffee does not Talk. Now that we've gotten that out of the way. This is a great independent coffee shop. Went there for the first time recently. The food is AH-mazing. The cream cheese cookies were ridiculously good. To the coffee, its wonderful. I tried a bit of the coffee, but since I went in the afternoon on a hot day so I got the coffee talk smoothie. Almost like a frapuccino for you starbucks literate. I am going to be a bit blashpemous, but it may just be better than a frapuccino. With every purchase you get an hour of free wifi. But the people here are so nice, if you need more time, just ask. (If you're nice, people are nice to you. If you're an ass, people are asses to you. Little tip for the unwise) They also have computers there for use as well. The staff is great and there's ample space to have group meetings, study groups or just do your work. Coffee Talk is definitely the spot. read more

It's a fact that in HI there is a lackluster of coffee shops. I have absolutely no idea why, but I do believe that because of the lack of options ... people actually like Coffee Talk. I don't mean to be cruel or overly judgmental but there are things about this place that urk me profoundly; but I will try to be a fair yelper and shed light on what I believe are the pros and cons to CT. The location of the place is great. The architecture of the building itself is fantastic. I love their pesto bagel! As well as their sundried tomato cream cheese. The veggie sandwich is loaded with vegs. And when you're looking for a classic caesar salad CT has got it going on. The cons. The coffee itself is ...bland, watery. I was told by an ex employee that they use the same beans for their espressos and regular brewed coffee. They sell a variety of by-the-LB beans, however the beans are all the same. They are just placed in different containers to make it seem as though the beans are different. That is incredibly deceptive. The place itself is filthy. It doesn't need just a good cleaning, it needs a complete renovation. A couple years back the owner was in a magazine article and she was quoted saying something along the lines of "coffee talk is a place where you can buy coffee and sit here for hours". That's a straight up lie. I've witnessed the owner ask customers to leave unless a purchase is made, if they've stayed too long. I understand that a business wants to keep their business aflow- but don't leave a b*llsh*t quote in a magazine that you don't genuinely believe in. Again, very deceptive. And quite frankly, a huge turn off. CT has so much to offer to its community. I hope that out of appreciation and respect to their loyal long time regulars and constant flow of customers that they will re-evaluate and renew the integrity of CT. read more

In the age of Starbucks, Coffee Talk seems to be a dying breed of coffee houses. Coffee Talk is space with plenty character, where live music, even djs, Fanasea Djs have played and artists can display their work. And i remember before first fridays, Coffee Talk was doin it. They have everything most ordinary coffee houses have and a little more, coffee, teas, pastries, free wifi, small kine lanai for smoking, tv, a bar (k fine counter)? Maybe the coffee is the best in the world, but its solid and is a great alternative to your chain coffee shops. This cafe is a Kaimuki oldie but goodie. Support your local businesses! read more

This place is really great. Dianne is fantastic and is always gracious and welcoming. One of my favorite places

Still LOVE this place. One of my favorite places for coffee and that's saying a lot. + Iced caramel latte -- my fave! Just wish they offered coconut milk. They don't as of now. So I get it non fat. Their espresso is so smooth and just tastes STRONG. I have a stressful job, a toddler who runs circles around me, and I'm always tired....keep it coming. Update----- ****THEY STARTED OFFERING COCONUT MILK!!!**** And, stress level of my job went down a little since the above. Thumbs up all around. + Nitro cold brew -- a god send. I switch back and forth between this and my latte (see above). This really packs a punch. I add caramel syrup, and take it over ice. Very good. + Banana bread -- THE BEST banana bread I have ever tried. My son adores it and we always ask for a corner piece (ok that's all me, he could care less). If you get a fresh batch piping hot from the oven, there is nothing like it. The top is perfectly crisp and sprinkled with powdered sugar, it smells amazing, it is just fabulous. + Vegan oatcake -- make me feel healthy and also tastes hella good. Cinnamon and oats packed into a chewy little cake, generously dosed with golden raisins. Delicious. read more

I used to like Coffee Talk, but lately, I have to search for reasons to justify going back. First, the coffee is still mediocre and still overpriced. The baked goods are generally tasty, but they are also pretty expensive. How about cutting smaller portions and charging less? It'd be nice to get my chocolate fix for under $4. Second, Wi-Fi is no longer free. You now get a code for 1 hour worth of internet time with each purchase. This was really the icing on the cake for me -- while most other businesses are offering this as a perk these days, Coffee Talk is withdrawing! And it's not like you can buy anything for under $2.50 here, so expect to be out $3-5 for every hour online. Seriously not worth it. Third, I could really do without the many "no outside food or drinks!" signs plastered all over the place. It really creates a hostile environment for customers. I think there's a reason this place is rarely crowded these days. All in all, this is not the friendly little corner cafe. It really feels like their main goal is getting money out of you, rather than providing a good quality product or nice experience to customers. I just can't do it anymore, even though I'd love to support my local cafe. read more

Great coffee, friendly service and super cool ambience. Looking forward to trying their food items next.

Support your LOCAL coffee shop! Great neighborhood place to chill, enjoy your coffee, hotter than hot tea, sinful desserts.... Love, love, love the cream cheese cookies on Fridays! The most crazy yummy cream cheese cookie I've ever had! Great eaten at room temperature, but 10x better having it frozen! YUM~E! read more

I really want to give this place more stars...but I can't because I (maybe unfairly) judge a place (especially a place that serves food & drinks!) by its bathroom...and the bathrooms at Coffee Talk are comparable to the public restrooms at Ala Moana Beach Park. Maybe I was unlucky enough to use their restroom on a particularly bad day...but it was a traumatizing experience that is forever imprinted in my memory. Aside from their restrooms, I have had good experiences at Coffee Talk. They have pretty good food (scones! delish!) and some great coffee choices. The baristas are efficient and accommodating, and there's free wifi (although I've heard it has a few glitches). With a little restroom TLC, I'll gladly add a couple of stars to this review! read more

Coffee Talk is the last independent coffee shop in the Waialae ave area left over from the late 90's early 2000's coffee shop boom in Kaimuki. There are quite a few tables and a lot of seats all over the shop, and there are even a couple more private rooms that you can reserve for a group get together/meeting/study session. The sandwiches that I've had here are pretty tasty, and pretty big. The baked goods are wonderful, and the coffees and teas are great. The staff here has always been helpful and friendly whenever I've been here. The only down side is the parking situation in Kaimuki town in general. Most of the convenient parking is either in the pay lot, or in metered stalls along the roads. If you're going later in the afternoon/early evening then the metered stalls on the streets are free, but the pay lots require payment 24hr/day. There is also some free parking along the neighborhood streets if you're willing to do a bit of walking. read more

Coffee talk has been my go-to coffee spot since I could drink coffee. Actually, I remember going there as a child when my mom wanted to get a coffee (so pre-coffee drinking me). This place has a huge coffee menu which could satisfy the coffee lovers to those who prefer milk and sugar with a little coffee. They also have a wide variety of baked goods; I've been getting their oat cake for +10 years. If you want a homey breakfast but don't wanna wait in a line, I'd recommend Coffee Talk. read more

So I've been coming to this place since my late teens, and that was quite a while ago. Food and pastries are always tasty and for the most part, I always enjoy the coffee drinks. Service can be hit or miss. The older Caucasian lady with who is always working is consistently on point. Buuuut...one of my pet peeves is long hair down in the kitchen or any kind of food service environment. Come on, you work around food. Put your damn hair up. This younger girl was working and she had nice long hair that she dragged across both quiches they had on display on the counter. I was going to order a quiche until that shit happened. We told another worker about that and they pulled both quiches from display, but the girl still didn't put her hair up. That is nasty. Too bad because I enjoy eating there. read more

Great place for scones and coffee. This used to be my on the way to work coffee shop till I moved to the mainland... When I'm in town, I still stop by for their amazing scones, especially the toffee chocolate chip or lemon. read more

Good space to come work & meet but they always have really grumpy & unfriendly servers. They don't tolerate you asking ANY questions what so ever. Their food is really unhealthy & nothing is organic. Every time I've come here the tables are always dirty & food trodden into the floor. The fridge in the front makes a really loud annoying buzzing noise which you can hear especially when here is no music. Over all NOT a happy place to start or end your day ~ too much tension not coming again! read more

A great, relaxing non-chain coffee place that has super cool artwork & super cool baristas. I used to work in the area and would find any excuse for a coffee break! LOL I love their scones...my favorite was peanut butter & chocolate chip, but I hardly see that anymore. My old manager was obsessed with their Coffee Talk Shake, and I have to say - it's really good too!! You also get 25c off when you bring in a reusable mug for your coffee, which I love and they also have a punch card program...buy 10, get one free :) read more

I hadn't been here in a few years and stopped in for a coffee to go while running errands. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of food and quick service. I just got a regular drip coffee and it tasted pretty decent. I was both annoyed and pleased that there was only one size of coffee (less choice, but less decision making). read more

Independent coffee shop, great fast friendly customer service. Coffee Talk is truly a neighborhood institution, like the central hub of Kaimuki. Baked goods are really good, and you must try the quiche, I seem to get lucky lately and get the last piece: delicious, both vegetarian and ham versions, I think a slice is 5 bucks. Sells out every morning for a reason! Coffee is good, cold brew is one of my faves, bring your own cup for a discount. Free newspaper. And on top of all this they are dog friendly! Love this place. read more

My friend recommend we meet here for a get together. It had been a whulsince we last had a chance to hangout and the location of the place wss more convenient for her as it was in the proxomity of the area she had been working at. Originally we had planned to grab a bite to eat not far from this place but unfortunatly it was closed. This place was just ok. not good not bad but ok. I dont recall getting anything fancey maybe thats why i didnt see or taste anything mindblowing. Id say its pretty similar to starbucks or ur average coffee chain joint. I did like the spacious atmosphere and noticed that they had computers in the back for public internet use. Im not sure about how much they cost to use. Maybe ill spicy it up with something exotic next time. It wasnt really worth the drive for me. I could have probably just went to starbucks. its more convenient. Parking is meter parking or VALIDATION. so dont forget to validate. read more

Been going to Coffee Talk for years and their eclectic mix of customers and staff make for entertaining people watching. The staff is always nice and efficient, but more importantly, they care...really. They have free wi-fi for customers, and enough nooks and corners to get work done if that's your desire. The food is better than you average coffee shop fare, and they have specials that will knock your socks off! read more

Coffee Talk has a lot of things going for it. It's a relatively large coffee shop in a great location, tons of seating, friendly staff, and wide menu selection. It's filled with artwork and interesting decor, as well as flyers for local events and venues. It definitely has that 'hang-out' feel down pat. They also hold small events, such as local musicians playing, which gives the place extra energy. However, this little gem is not without some flaws. Their WiFi is 1 hour with purchase only. With most other coffee shops, especially franchised ones ::cough::Starbucks::cough:: offering free WiFi, this is mildly annoying. Not that I want to come down and mooch off their WiFi, but if I plan on staying for a while, it can be a pain. I can only drink so much coffee! I feel that local coffee shops have to try extra hard to compete with big coffee, and it's little things like that which add up. I usually just drink espresso, and their's isn't bad, but $3 for a double shot of espresso is more than any other coffee shop that I've been to. If it was some high-quality beanage, I'd be happier to acquiesce to the price, but from my understanding, it's just regular 'ol espresso roast. Aside from that, Coffee Talk is still a regular haunt of mine. Whether to study, read a magazine or book, or just hang out, Coffee Talk is certainly a unique and low-key spot to kill some time. Very chill. read more

Love the staff, they always remember your face and recognize you as a regular. PESTO CREAM CHEESE BAGEL. That is all. read more

This review is for food only. Had blueberry bagel and cream cheese this morning - bagel was stale and it was like eating a giant bagel chip. Hubby had the egg and spinach bagel - an hour after eating, he started having bad stomach cramps. Nauseous and indespicable bathroom trips for the rest of the afternoon. Definitely not a good thing. Yes, WiFi is good, people are friendly, there is ample seating space though not enough outlets to plug in your device. So... If it's just for WiFi and talk, go for it. Skip the bagel and bagel sandwich. read more

Hands down the best shop in the area! Walked up to the Cafe today with my puppy and they immediately grated me at the door and invited us in. We then sat outside and they brought out a bowl of water for my puppy! So nice! Check this place out and give them 5 stars! read more

I have such a love/hate relationship with Coffee Talk. I've been coming here on and off for maybe 6 years. I just finished grad school and go there to study. The location is great, the atmosphere is nice, free 24 hours of wifi (great upgrade, you used to get a stingy 1hr), the rest is hit or miss. The drip coffee is not worth it, the 'fancy' drinks are so-so. The food is usually pretty good and the pastries are almost always yummy. The prices are high but I don't mind paying a little more at a place that is locally owned and run. However, when I spend $10.50 on a lox and bagel and get one measly single serving cream cheese packet, I shouldn't have to shell out extra cash to get a second packet. As for service, the middle-aged women do a decent, friendly job while the teenagers they hire do not. They usually look like they don't want to be there. If this place wasn't so close to my house, I'd probably never go. There are better places to study and get decent food/coffee in town. Plus, they close at 6 pm. I get a lot of work done in the evenings and I'd go by Coffee Talk then if I could. Meh. read more

First time here after an hour drive starting at 5am. Recommended by co-workers! Cute place to use your lap top and have a delicious muffin top! Service sucked! Person at counter with short blond hair was not a happy camper and rude! Looking at all their delights, I pointed right at the obvious muffin top and she said " what do u want, u pointed". So I said the maple muffin top". She then said "to go"? And I making conversation said probably to go " I had a cup on the way here". That is when she rolled her eyes and shoved my food at me and then said "what?" ... I'm like... "Not in a good mood".... ? She likes what, u don't know .... Blah, blah, blah...... I left the counter and had to get napkins and things Take my muffin in a napkin to go! Cheer customer service SUCKS! My first time and last!!! read more

I'm obsessed with coffee shops. I checked out Coffee Talk yesterday because I wanted to try something new. Pros: They have sandwiches, free WiFi, A/C. Cons: Sandwich wasn't good, my blended drink had WAY too much hazelnut syrup (could hardly drink it) I enjoyed hanging out there nonetheless - quiet place to read, free WiFi made it enough for me to come back. read more

So glad my friend and I found this place! First time here and I'm impressed by the whole setting of this coffee shop. I LOVE the random artwork, it just makes this place much more cuter! The people who work there are friendly and overall, it's a cool place to talk story and also study (although I'm not sure if they have free wifi, but next time I should ask). I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I ordered their iced toddy, and it was pretty good! read more

I'm really not sure why this place doesn't have 5 stars other than people with bad taste are giving low reviews. The coffee is pretty darn good but the bread pudding is the best thing to ever hit my mouth. It's crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, packed full of flavor. The hazelnut one is my favorite, yes, hazelnut bread pudding!! It makes me happy . The people behind the counter are always pleasant too. The only thing is I wished they started using paper straws and ecco friendly cups. read more

Everything about this place is amazing. You go to a coffee shop to expect awesome coffee- this place has it. But when you find yourself dreaming of their baked goods you know you've hit the jackpot!

Awesome place! read more
