The gas at any Chevron is more pricey overall, apparently because of the "Techron", but it was worth it because of the convenience of this location one block from the freeway. Added bonus?

I went in and used the restroom and it was clean as heck. I looked around and saw that they sell a ton of different products.

I've been to The Sweet Life a few times and generally enjoyed it. The coffee is good, and my son absolutely loved their mango smoothie. However, my last visit was a bit disappointing. They forgot the whipped cream on my coffee--not a big deal--but what really bothered me was the breakfast sandwich. It was extremely hard and had a strange taste, making it pretty unpleasant to eat. Overall, it's a nice spot for coffee and smoothies, but I'd probably skip the breakfast sandwich next time. Hoping for a better experience on my next visit! read more

But my bestie goes to this spot often so I had to check it out. It's off the beaten path and in a house. But they have signage so you know you're at the right spot. You walk in and BAM!!! It's a modern looking coffee shop. They had coffee. They had pastries. They had tables and chairs. They had cool wall signs to take selfies with. And they had swag! Everything on their menu sounded good. I opted for a hot Horchata latte and I was quite pleased with it. Bestie got their seasonal pumpkin coffee, iced. We shared a Dubai Chocolate croissant. OMG that filling is nom nom nom. And the staff was super cool. I enjoy just being able to have a fun conversation. I totally dog an upbeat atmosphere and that's what I experienced at this unexpected coffee house. Now I know what my bestie has been raving about. I honestly would rarely make it out to Livingston seeing that I'm in Oregon, but this place left me with such a good impression, I just had to share. I do hope to return again to try more of their creations. I got a couple of bumper stickers and will be reppin' them in Oregon.

Happy 1 year to Sueno Coffee!…read more Things have definitely changed since my first review in 2023 so it felt like the right time for a lil update: Sueno closed up shop for about a year, then came back with a full renovation and an entirely new concept. What once was an occasional weekend pop-up has grown into a full-fledged coffee shop. Sueno now features a complete coffee menu, fresh pastries & bagels, cozy indoor seating, a sunny patio, branded merch, community events, and all the charm that made it special from the start. Hours are typically Thursday - Monday, 7 AM - 1 PM. I always recommend checking out their website or insta (@suenocoffeeco) for updates on hours or special events. Mobile order is the way to go if you're looking for a quick in and out. Ample parking is available up front as well. The true inspiration for the updated review is the freaking banana latte, holy shit! This is beautifully done and I cannot get enough. The last couple visits home have started with Sueno Coffee. The Rise & Grind bagels was also such a great addition.

Customers should be able to trust your hours but things happen maybe it was a one time thing. I came back thursday around 6 Pm and they only had two flavors left. I wanted to get some of the other flavors as well. But again I get it. Things sell out and they don't want to waste product. I told the girl I'll be back tomorrow cause I wanted other flavors. I came back Friday when they opened at 10 am and I asked the same girl if they had all the flavors. And she said they will in 30 mins and I don't get that. Why don't you just open later then? Why would I wait 30 extra minutes? Her response was so wack too she said we have some flavors? I mean I literally came back today cause I wanted to try the flavors that weren't available lmao? She wasn't apologetic or anything it was so annoying. My parents have owned businesses and it's important to support small businesses but I'm good off of businesses like this that you can't trust and have no accountability. I went to Smallcakes in Ripon instead and they had their cupcakes out at 10:30 Am when they opened as a business should. Will never come back here again. Update: the owner reached out to me indicating this is the first time a customer has asked for cupcakes to be displayed upon opening. I literally have no clue what they are talking about? So so strange and weird.... I asked if all the flavors are available and was told not for 30 minutes. Whatever you're saying now doesn't align with what was said then. Im not getting paid to communicate effectively, the employee is. Either way bakeries don't open and say "hey wait while we stock the shelves." What a weird way of running the business. If it takes 30 mins to stock open later then. Your business isn't one that's prepared and you don't want to take any accountability for that. If you closed early cause you sell out then announce it. I literally called your number on Wednesday to ask if you're supposed to be closed and the owner said no. So again you're saying something now that wasn't expressed earlier. It's easy to come up w excuses and stories after the fact. Regardless even IF you did sell out, then put it on social media and a sign on the business so ppl know. Why would customers want to drive this far w how expensive gas is to find out your business is closed? Most people work 9-5 PM. It's so shocking a business owner would just say "come earlier" to someone that wants to support their business. People work and can't make those times?? I tried supporting your business on three different occasions and this is your response. You take no accountability or even apologize for any inconvenience. If this is how you provide customer service, your business will never succeed. Good-luck.

The horchata latte is a sweet, authentic flavor that's horchata forward. If you like horchata, this is perfect. The brown sugar dry americano was recommended and my favorite. Perfect balance of sweet, coffee, and creamy. I would make the 25 min drive for this drink. I would recommend it for anyone who likes a more coffee-forward flavor. The biscoff latte is good but not as punchy in flavor as the horchata or dry americano. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to branch out from a vanilla latte. Great service!
