“My husband and I stopped in for the first time on Saturday during the car show. We both got Iced Caramel Macchiato’s. Not only was the barista helpful but our drinks were perfect. The place itself is very nice and clean. My husband said “this is our new coffee spot!” He was very impressed!“

“Everyone is always so friendly I love the coffee as well ❤️ ☕️“

“Staff is pretty great, very friendly and nice to chat with! Enjoy coming into this location. Thanks y’all!“

“An alternative to Starbucks coffee. I don't think it's as strong as Starbucks. The men's bathroom is always dirty. the trash is always overflowing. Even when it's slow in the store the help just stands around talking to each other instead of checking on the bathroom. What a shame because it's such a nice store.“

“Amazing tamales 🫔 ❤️ will definitely be back!“

“Great service, great nutrition drinks and great prices. Love coming here“

“The coffee and food was exactly what you would expect (that's why we all go to SB correct?). But, the staff was nice, and efficient. The vibe was studious, lots of young people reading. I loved that! Food my as I went to edit a paper. There was music, but... it was not loud and it was old enough to tune out. I think they was purposeful. The Cafe was connected to art space in the back, something cool to take in.“

“went in just now to get a coffee, some lady (i assume the manager) was being so insanely rude to this employee, i think he was new or something. but she was genuinely being so mean to this poor boy it made me so upset! manager needs to do better! that boy was trying his best and he was so sweet!!“

“Visited this establishment June 7th 2026 around 11:45am. Greeted at the door by the manager I'm assuming since he had a different shirt then the rest of the staff. He was very friendly along with the other staff. Establishment was clean. Didn't wait long for food, everything came out hot and how we ordered it. Staff was very engaging and accommodated our 1.5 year old very well. I travel alot for youth sports and I always eat at a waffle house wherever I'm at and this is by far the best one I've dined at.“
