Friendly service, delicious chocolate chip scone, and a velvety hot chai with oat milk. It's been a while since I've had such a good chai. I stopped here before the art museum opens to read a little and have a bite for breakfast and a pick me up. I am very picky and have to say, this was a perfect visit. Chill atmosphere, beautiful views, and plenty of seating. The prices are good for the quality of goods they offer. Any cheaper and they would be underselling themselves.

Can't speak for the food, but the coffee prices are ridiculous. Two medium lattes came out to $18 with a $2 tip. So even without the tip, $16. Starbucks is cheaper at this point.

Just discovered this quiet little urban coffee shop. Reasonable prices on very nice coffee. The atmosphere is really good, too. Lots of tropical plants and large windows with natural light. The shop was quite busy when I arrived in the afternoon, but the environment was surprisingly quiet and comfortable. It’s a great place to study or do some work. There’s a wide variety of seating options.

Such a cute place! I needed a hot tea on a rainy day and they delivered! Great portion size for the price and kind, personable customer service! Definitely a strange area of town but being right across from the library is so iconic! I will definitely be coming back!

We needed a convenient place to wait for an hour and found Giant Coffee. We thought we missed the parking in the front, but there is a parking lot in the back behind a set of gates. Plenty of parking on a Thursday at 11:30. I ordered a large mocha and it was perfect. Not to sweet, not excessively mocha tasting. It was topped with a decoratively poured flourish of milk. Perfect touch. I also had a Snicker Dooddle cookie that was nice to dip in the coffee. There's a lot of seating and people were there on their laptops so must be good wifi.

Coffee was good with prices on par for other coffee shops. I did not try any of the food. Not a LOT of variety, yet a very appealing and effective menu.

Place was very clean. Seating was interesting and effective. No outdoor seating.

Service was very nice. Atmosphere was very calm.

Parking is a bit minimal. Some in front, some in back.

If there was an option for 2.5 stars, I would’ve put that down. This place is not for me, but works well with people who are looking for a comfortable place to work from home. I bought a honey vanilla latte and a breakfast burrito and paid $18.46.

The honey vanilla latte was cloyingly sweet. I recommend it iced rather than hot, served as a double in the same size or to ask for less syrup if ordered hot. The breakfast burrito was wholly O.K. The sage breakfast sausage was actually very good, but all other elements of the burrito were entirely nondescript. It took 15 mins to heat from cold which the barista did warn me about so I have no problem with that.

The atmosphere was very reminiscent of a corporate cafeteria. The entirety of the cafe is occupied by people who work from home which includes people taking meetings. The cafe seems geared towards this, hosting long individual bench seats with easy access to wall outlets and few sit and chat tables.

Honey Latte is amazing! I took even two mugs. Breakfast burrito cooked about 20 minutes but it worth it! Best burrito I tried. For one coffee and burrito $19

We tried this place for the first time today.
Kalia is a gem! So friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was so chill and inviting. Food was really good. Restrooms are super clean. Love the real plants they use as part of the decor.

Hadn't been here in YEARS. Love the architecture. Open air space when front bay doors are open. Kinda hidden, but a gem.

I stopped by The Giant for a coffee and was really impressed with the overall experience. I ordered the Honey Vanilla Latte, and it was perfectly balanced—smooth, just the right amount of sweetness, and had a great depth of flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients and take their time crafting each drink.

Beyond the coffee, the atmosphere is what really stood out to me. The open floor plan makes the space feel airy and inviting, and it’s a great spot to either get some work done or just relax. The vibe is warm, modern, and welcoming—exactly what you want in a coffee shop.

If you’re looking for a solid coffee spot with great drinks and a comfortable ambiance, The Giant is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back for sure!
