Finally gave this place a try. Now I understand why the line is always so long. It takes a significant amount of time to get a hot drink.
The amount of trash bags piled up on the deck, 20 yards from the dumpster was absurd.
The drink was good. But the atmosphere and time to get it was not worth it in my opinion.

These girls see me a mile away and know exactly what I'm getting, its almost always ready before I even roll my window down. They also know my kids and my husbands drinks by heart and they never forget the pup cup if the fur babies are riding along. They are so dedicated to their customers, last year we lost 2 of our dogs, ages 13 and 7, back to back, the girls knew I was having a rough time...they wrote little notes on my drinks and made me smile when I needed it most! I can honestly say every girl at my fave cart is incredible and I sincerely look forward to getting my coffee and seeing their bright smiling faces ☕ ?

I love their drinks and I've been really loving this gummy worm drink but they gave me the wrong straws so my boyfriend and I couldn't get the popping pearls through the straws and they would come through already popped and it was launching the fleshy part of the pearls to my throat.Edit: Ice, ice, baby. I went back and now they gave me so much ice I got like 4 good drinks before the drink was gone. The pic is after I got home from driving, the drink was gone before I could get back home. Maybe lower prices so we aren't paying for frozen water? Love your drink but we need consistency

Unfriendly staff, rude, pretty much demands a tip and coffee is mediocre. Would absolutely not recomend.

Too slow. Won’t ever go back.

I too am constantly getting my espresso replaced with cold brew. Latte's are expensive cuz its an art to maintain the machine and pour a shot. Replacing with cold brew which is just drip coffee with even less effort is a disgusting practice. They will even argue with you and tell you it's still a latte. No that is a $7 iced coffee. Stop ripping off your customers and lying to them.

Just got a coffee and sandwich from the diamond location. They messed up my sandwich and gave me the wrong one and it was gross.��� The softest bacon I’ve ever came across.

I recently took their barista class, just for fun! I learned for the very first time how to make shots, steam milk, etc. I also learned a lot about Cafe D'arte! We decided to go by this location because it's close to home and I wanted my husband to try their cold brew, they make their own. Not everyone makes their own and kaladis only serves it to their affiliated shops in the summer. I always see I line when I drive past and there was two cars on one side and one car on the other, we only waited a few minutes to be served. They were pretty fast since it only takes a few minutes to make the drinks (now I know what goes into it!!) The cold brew was good, not too bitter. During my class the lady made a cold brew iced mocha and an iced mocha with regular shots and the one with cold brew was sooo good I can't wait to come in the summer and get it. Their prices are a little more steep than others in the area, they charge 75 cents for alternative milk where most places it's 50 cents. The cold brew was I think over $7 total for flavor and alt milk which is a lot compared to our regular shop. My husband didn't get a straw with his and didn't realize till he pulled forward and luckily he had a stare with him, I didn't get a sticker to cover the hole which I was bummed about. We were asking about Apple Pay, and what a marbled cold brew was maybe we were talking too much. One of the girls was new since she had to ask the other girl what the marbled cold brew was. We got a punch card, after buying 9 drinks you get the 10th "free" which is a free 16oz. Not separated out by size which I like. It was decent and they take pride in the quality of their product, but they are more expensive. They probly pay their baristas a little more than other shops but who knows. The owner lady started this business after taking Cafe D'arte from Seattle which it started from up here and they have about 6 shops I think around town, the beans actually do come from Italy. They also have a white coffee bean they roast which is flash roasted and has %50 more caffine than regular coffee beans(darker beans have less, a lighter roast has more) not sure if you can ask for the white coffee at the shops or not. The owner lady also offers consulting to new business owners whether they serve cafe D'arte coffee or not. I don't see other shops serving their coffee without being one of their stands though, you mostly see Kaladis with an occasional steam dot or other. They also repair coffee machines throughout the state of Alaska (including Starbucks lol)
waited over 45 minutes in line cause the barista with long brown hair couldn't be bothered to stop flirting with her boyfriend while he parked his truck at the window & im so glad she was able to get her drink & food that her boyfriend so graciously brought her from raising caine's but I never even got an opportunity to order mineI always tip well over double the price of my drink but maybe stop hiring high schoolers

Caffe' D'arte is in the Huffman area, in the same parking lot as my kids' pediatrician office. Convenient when we are in the area for appointments. The baristas here are consistently fast and friendly. Today, I got a spiced chai latte that I'd describe as just okay. I wanted to taste more chai. My partner got a mango passionfruit red-bull smoothie with whipped cream that was really yummy. On Wednesday's, this coffee cart carries Wiki Wiki Donuts/Malasadas. Today's flavors were carrot cake and strawberry. We got one of each. My partner who loves carrot cake said his filling was good. I thought the strawberry filing was perfectly sweet. We both agreed the dough wasn't our favorite as we prefer more of a light and airy dough. I look forward to returning to try one of Caffe' D'arte's many lotus drink offerings.
