The staff are friendly, efficient, and well versed in their products. Some of the furniture could use a refresh (some of the upholstered chairs are looking worn) but overall the decor is pleasant and the entire facility is clean, clean, clean! I often order a hot tea with a savory pastry, but if you're looking for something special, the Mont Blanc pastry and the pistachio matcha latte are very popular. On one recent visit, my friend ordered the apricot pastry, and I got an ube donut and a mushroom tart. So good! The cream under the apricot was so light and fluffy. The combination of long open hours, friendly staff, and very fresh pastries makes this shop an essential spot in west Lawrence.

It was difficult to decide which I wanted. It was like an assembly line of perfect little treats. The staff was very nice and helpful. The selection seemed endless and they had drinks in cans that were delicious. I had a very difficult time choosing which I was going to try. There is a seating area in the rear of the restaurant. It was full of happy people eating pastries and chatting. It was a perfect setting. I had heard about this place for years but never ventured inside. I regret not going to this lovely place sooner. I will definitely go back and recommend. I guess this is a franchise business with locations all over the US. I am just glad we have one in Lawrence. Still... WOW!

Whether you like your coffee hot or iced, LPT has flavors and options galore and each drink is handcrafted and made to order. You can even get their housemade roasts to go with super-competitive prices. I love their house espresso roast and at $13.50/lb., that's a fabulous value. Their baristas are friendly and *know* coffee, and I got hooked on their signature Vienna blend after a barista recommendation. It's not as 'burnt' as many dark Vienna styles and it's still a fave for me. Parking is Mass Street, so either you pay or you find your way in. La Prima Tazza doesn't have a ton of seating due to the size of the space, but the intimacy lends to the charm of a local kaffehaus. They've been here for more than three decades and it remains one of those places that I always suggest when people ask about coffee in LFK.

Full disclosure I came here with a lot of uncertainty. There's a TON of coffee shops in Lawrence…read moreand they all aren't created equal. I took a meeting here and the person I was meeting with gave me a few local options. This was the place I hadn't been yet so I thought I'd go a bit out of my comfort zone and try a new spot. Something I was nervous about from the photos on Yelp was if there would be enough inside seating when I arrived for a meeting. When I pulled up, I was still a bit anxious about this as the front lot was full and I had to pull to the back to park. Once I got out of my car and walked through the cafe to the front to order my anxieties about seating had diminished. It's much larger inside than the outside appears and the photos here on Yelp don't really do the indoors justice. Yes, the outdoor seating is really cute and well shaded so I get why folks focus on it, but if you're like me and wanting to get some work done you'll find a comfortable spot here. Now onto the coffee. As I made my way into the shop I noticed one of my art school professors (we both sort of looked at each other like "do I know you?") and I moved on, but that's a good sign. The art teachers usually know where to snag a decent cup of coffee. When I ordered I tried one of their special drinks and chatted with the baristas about it before I made my choice. Extra points here because not only was the drink really, really good, but the girls working were beyond friendly and answered all of my questions. I'm not lying when I say this was one of the best cups of coffee I've had in Lawrence in some time. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

My husband and ai both got a honey, lavender, and cinnamon latte. We both enjoyed it. I noticed after we ordered that they had some seasonal coffees but wasn't obviously displayed initially.

If we are back in the area we would try it again but might not get another pastry.

Outlets are available in certain areas. We ordered an iced latte and were a little bummed that they didn't use espresso shots but rather dispensed from a container of cold brew? It didn't hit the mark for me unfortunately. The flavor was milder and was almost watered down. If you are craving a classic iced latte, I would not recommend this item. Overall, Java Break is an option on Mass St. to chill or study. But, I'll have to try a different drink next time.

It's wrapped in pretty green and white colors, poured into a cup and they made a siren their mascot. I am a frequent flyer here. It's just about the buzz. They can take a bitter drink like coffee and make it look like cotton candy on a hot summer day at the county fair. As many times as I've been here, never once have I ordered plain coffee. Nope. I want tons of sugar added, more flavored syrup, please! Then I want fluffy whipped cream and a blessing of pretty sprinkles to seal the deal. Is it good? No- it's delicious. Divine! I love that you can use the app and order ahead. WOW! Now technology is helping me get my buzz! I love the different concoctions Starbucks can create so effortlessly.The customer service enablers have always been very nice and pleasant. They are more than willing to help me feed the monkey on my back. They do not bat an eye at my creative customized drinks although I am sure they snicker behind my back. Starbucks is always clean and sterile looking. They do a great job at promoting fake ambiance with their decor. It looks kinda movie set fake but it works on some level. I am certain people do not come here for the decor. The food at Starbucks is the weakest link. There are plenty of pastry and cake offerings which are difficult to screw up. Lately they have started adding sandwiches and breakfast items. Nothing I have tasted there has been amazing. I have been underwhelmed by their food items. The only time I even remotely found their food tasty was when I was in an airport and a Starbucks sandwich was my only option at dark-thirty. I do think they are pricey, too. For what you get for your food, it is expensive. I would love to try their cake pops but it is outrageous to pay what they are asking. Also, I think the drinks get pricey, too. They charge for every little minuscule add-in and that ruffles me up, at times. I suppose people, like myself, will pay for their addiction whatever the cost. This is not the best coffee in the world by any estimation. But once they put it through their magic fluff machines and make it come out all candyish you don't notice the quality of the coffee is lacking. I guess as long as I am getting my caffeine, Starbucks is my vehicle of choice.

I suggested we go to Mana's location. There is free wifi and several places to sit. We decided to share a pot of tea. The tea expert let me try the tea of the day, Oriental Garden oolong, which was really good to me. However, Eric R. likes green tea so we had to agree. He suggested jasmine pearls, and I agreed. We sat down, had lots of cups of delicious jasmine green tea, and got work done. There was a tv playing Japanese anime quite loudly in the background, but we tuned it out.
