    Food is consistently good and fresh. Service slow and food handlers don't wear gloves while prepping

    I tried the spearmint flavor, and you don't really taste it that much. But the mocha sauce they use…read moretastes a lot like brownie batter, which was really delicious! :) Also, if you have an allergy to almonds (like me), they'll make your drink in a separate pitcher.

    I am a blue owl customer since so long. I love to have my Cafe Au Lait with oat milk and honey. I…read morelove my blue owl coffe so much until a Guy there was serving it. He was damn good in making the coffee, everytime I took my coffee from there it was with the same taste and awesome. He was also so good in greeting the people and helping them with their orders. But IDK what happened and I am not seeing that guy anymore there. Now some new persons are serving there and running. Literally since then I am missing my BLUE OWL CAFE AU LAIT so much. The people now serving there are not doing there job seriously and ruining my morning mood daily. I am liking the taste at all. I really asked if it's possible to do something for that, otherwise no problem there are more coffee places. I just really wish you guys could do better with that guy. Also one more incident I would like to share that the person now serving is literally not taking the job seriuosly becuse he gave me my coffee cup with the bigger lid which wasn's fit on the cup at all and that I wasn't aware of. When I drank my coffee it was all over me with that lid, so you can now understand what is happening. I am not very happy btw. Thanks though.

    I'd been to a different location of this local coffee shop before, so I was excited to stop by this…read moreone and get some breakfast the morning after Thanksgiving. The space is large with plenty of seating, and they have a wonderful food menu with bagel sandwiches and delicious potatoes. The employee taking our order was patient and polite. I got the Parkside sandwich (bacon, egg, pesto, cheese), and Nate got a Thanksgiving sandwich special. I also got an oat milk latte. They have a pastry case full of pastries and doughnuts so I'd love to try those next time. It was nice to sit and enjoy our breakfast and I loved the latte - it was one of the best I've had recently, very creamy and smooth. The parkside bagel was quite greasy, but the flavors were so savory and yummy. I loved the pesto and it had a ton of crispy bacon. I saved half for later and it was still good heated up the next day. We got a side of the curry potatoes with some bang bang sauce to dip - these were so good! Crispy on the outside and soft inside, with lots of great curry flavor. They were pretty salty but I really loved them. This is an inclusive and welcoming space and I hope they continue to do well!

    The coffee shop is in downtown Lansing in a shopping strip mall. They don't have an awning sign…read moreoutside so you have to look for the sidewalk sign. We went in on a Saturday morning and they were busy. The vibe is casual and low key, music playing in background. They take up two store fronts, one for ordering, waiting area for to go orders and bakery, the one adjacent is the dine in sitting area and it's very ample with plenty of tables and room so not to feel crowded. We ordered one latte extra hot and one almond milk matcha latte, they carry Dark Matter coffee so we knew the coffee would be good. The young lady that took our order was very friendly and so helpful suggesting items. I asked her what is a "Bangos", she explained it used to be a food truck but now they share the kitchen space and she continued by suggesting some of Bango's favorites. Being the foodie my husband and I are, we ordered the nasty AF and the cauliflower wrap. I took my first bite of the cauliflower wrap and I knew I had found a gem! It is delicious! I will be going back for more and will be trying other items on the menu. My husband said, this is something you would find in Chicago (where we're from) now you all know Chicago is known for good food. This place would thrive there. I'm so glad we found it because we will be going back for more! Highly recommend it! If you come visit Lansing, show some love and stop by!
