It can be hard to find good coffee for a good price here but was pleasantly surprised that the coffee was less than $7. Not only that but it was very delicious! Perfectly sweet, great banana flavor.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Enrique, who had such a warm and welcoming demeanor. We took a moment to look over the menu, and he quickly picked up that it was our first time. After we confirmed, he asked about our coffee preferences--strong, sweet, or somewhere in the middle--and walked us through the seasonal menu with some great suggestions. My wife ordered the iced lavender vanilla, and I went with the iced café carmelita. He also asked if we wanted food, so we tried the lemon blueberry loaf and a turkey avocado sandwich. Everything did not disappoint. The drinks were amazing--Enrique absolutely nailed the recommendations--and the turkey avocado sandwich was especially memorable. While our drinks were being made, we had some friendly small talk with the staff, which added to the experience. The overall vibe was great. The team was super friendly and attentive--when a line started forming, other staff jumped in right away to make sure no one was left waiting. I'm really glad we stopped in and gave this place a shot. We'll definitely be back!

It was flaky, chewy, not too sweet, almonds were burnt. Even after 4 hours, it was perfect. 5/5 stars - $6 - Americano: yea I know, boring but it was good! Acidic but not too much. Would've loved to taste the bean more 4/5 stars - $4.50? Definitely a good work/study cafe on a random weekday

Waited about 10 minutes to order, so not bad at all. Service was very attentive and they keep the line moving quickly. With the additional outside enclosed patio, there were plenty of tables! We got the Birria burrito, Ricotta toast, and Avocado toast (with poached egg). All were super delicious. The Birria burrito was the favorite, so highly recommend! The vanilla iced latte was also really good. It's a quick bite, but it never felt rushed. One thing to note, the parking lot can be a bit tough to get in and out of with the freeway entrance nearby. The lot itself has plenty of parking spots. I would definitely not hesitate to return again for a nice quick meal. It's a great option if you're in the area!

I was disappointed with my experience. The café only offered two milk options--whole milk and oat…read moremilk--which felt quite limited compared to most coffee shops. I ordered the Cookie Butter Latte, but it lacked the sweetness and flavor I expected. The espresso itself was also surprisingly weak; the double shot had very little coffee taste. When I mentioned it, I was offered an additional shot for an extra $2. While I didn't mind paying for it, the drink still fell short and remained underwhelming. For our Cardamom drink, we added Peach cold foam for an extra $1.25 but there seemed to be no foam when served. The space itself is cute and inviting, but if you're looking for a flavorful, well-crafted coffee or a reliable caffeine fix, this probably isn't the place I'd recommend.

I'm not a huge boba/milk tea fan so I guess take this as a review from someone with pretty…read moresuperficial knowledge. I tried two drinks, a Vietnamese iced coffee made less sweet and a 3/4 sweet peach... peach something. I forget the name, but the menu is small it's the peach one. Both were fantastic. Definitely on the sweet side but not "this is melted ice cream" sweet like I've had at some places. I'd still probably get the peach one 50% next time. The Vietnamese iced coffee was very intensely flavored, had a great texture, and for whatever reason wasn't as hyper-caffeinated as some I'd had. I've had some Vietnamese coffees that made me feel like I was going to bounce off the walls, this was more mellow. But it still has the strong coffee flavor I'm used to. The peach drink was super refreshing, full of peach flavor, but again the level of sugar wasn't cloying at all. And the little chunks of peach added a nice texture to the experience. Again, not an expert on milk tea/boba, but this was probably some of the best I've had, definitely the best I can remember. Inside the shop is a bit spartan but there's seating for a few groups. You order via a kiosk and then someone brings the drinks out to the counter, so it's a bit impersonal. They take credit cards and the parking lot is a little tight.

The peach and oolong flavors paired well and tasted refreshing. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other drinks!

Highly recommend if you're in the area. They changed management a few years ago and I'm happy to say they have kept the same warm service. Pictured: my son loves their white chocolate mocha.
