I spent a quiet afternoon at Classen Coffee Company, and it turned out to be the perfect spot to…read moreslow down for a bit. I ordered a grilled chai tea latte and a cookie, which sounded simple but felt thoughtfully done. The chai had a deep, spiced aroma the moment it hit the table. It wasn't overly sweet, and the warmth of the spices came through clearly with each sip. There was a smooth, velvety texture that made it especially comforting. The cookie was fresh and slightly crisp around the edges with a soft center. It tasted homemade rather than mass-produced, with just the right balance of sweetness to pair with the drink without overwhelming it. The café itself has a welcoming, lived-in charm. Plenty of natural light, a steady hum of conversation, and people either catching up with friends or working on laptops. The baristas were attentive and genuinely friendly, creating an easygoing atmosphere that made it hard to leave. Classen Coffee Company feels like one of those dependable neighborhood spots you keep coming back to -- not flashy, just consistently good and inviting.

I went on a Sunday and it was pretty loud in there which made it hard to focus on work. The…read moreambiance when I went was that it was more for socializing although maybe this was due to the day and timing (I was there around 1 pm). I do wish they would provide mugs instead of take out cups for customers that are not taking their coffee to go and I also wish they had a better selection of vegan desserts available (they only had one option). The drink I had was very delicious. The workers there were very friendly and one of them brought my drink to me. I love how they have two different rooms where you can sit and enjoy your coffee and they also have tables outside.

My friend group has been meeting at this Stella Nova location since 2020. Overall, it has been a…read moregreat spot to grab a coffee and maybe some breakfast, connect, and have a conversation. Over the last couple of weeks there has been an obvious shift. Our recent visit on 4/29 was disappointing. First, my order was wrong. I ordered a sausage egg and cheese wrap and a coffee & was given a bacon egg and cheese wrap. Before my friend group arrived, I was having a conversation with some gentlemen who are also regulars. The music was so loud I couldn't hear them from an arms length apart. He mentioned he had already requested for the music to be slightly adjusted, and they refused to turn it down. We sat for a little bit longer and it was impossible to converse, so I went to the front and also requested for the music to be slightly turned down. I felt like I had to yell just for the server to hear me. The barista barely made eye contact, kind of rolled his eyes, and nodded his head. No one ever turned down the music. Don't get me wrong, I love having some background music, but it was absurd that we couldn't even hold a normal conversation. Also, it was about 7:00AM. It's not like they were preparing to shut down the store. I just felt it was incredibly rude and it's disappointing that what used to be our go-to place is now somewhere we are considering to go elsewhere due to the mere disrespect, overall environment and poor customer service.

Staff were quick with orders even with a steady flow of being busy. The parking lot was full on a Thursday at 9:30am. I tried a chai tea latte ordered right off menu, but I regretted not making some alterations. I should have asked for a different milk and way less sweetness. It was delicious but way too sweet. I'll be back!

The ham in the breakfast sandwich was cold and very salty. Drinks were consistently good. Service is superb as this time we get to experience the staff and they were all nice people. We also got to experience their live shows and it's pretty cute to watch and listen to. Bathrooms are well maintained and clean. It is definitely a busy day in the morning. Still a good place to visit especially for their drinks. However, it seems like they lack high chairs for babies in case you guys would bring your LO's.

Lots of people come here from nearby offices to work on their laptops and as someone on a hiatus from that world, I felt I didn't fit in.

I got their seasonal latte that was a mocha with cherry flavoring. I liked the latte a lot although the cherry flavor didn't come through that much. Note that the drinks are around $8. I was shocked at first but they give you large size coffees. The size justified the price in my opinion. I also go there everything bagel scone which was pretty good. They have lovely art and good amount of seating which is a plus. All in all a nice coffee shop near the plaza district!

The space is spacious with plenty of seating, and they offer classics along with signature and seasonal drinks. I tried the strawberry matcha and WOW--it was excellent! The strawberry purée was fruity without being overly sweet and complemented the matcha really well. The owner was friendly, and the customer service was great. Lattes are reasonably priced, it looks like they don't accept tips, and they also have a rewards system. If your schedule allows, I recommend checking out this local coffee shop!
