Amazing place where I can do computer work, drink delicious coffees and have Yonis Doughnuts.
Baristas are super friendly!
My favorite drink is the seasonal pumpkin spice oat milk latté 🤩🤩👌🏽👌🏽

Excellent donuts, great coffee, good music, nice people. Minus a star because there's no change table and the bathrooms have more than enough room for one

Favorite coffee shop in town hands down. All the staff are lovely and friendly and I’ve gotten to know most of them. Beautiful space in a brand new building with great sunlight exposure. Cannot beat.

Great location in a newer building, so the interior feels clean and modern. The food is quite good, definitely on the pricier side, but the quality mostly justifies it. The vibe leans a bit corporate, but it’s still a pleasant place to spend time. I had the iced mocha and it was excellent. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. I’d definitely return.

It's a nice place to bring a laptop and work. Coffee is fine, doughnuts are fine. Consistently about 30% more expensive than other local independent coffee shops though. On top of that they'll charge you a dollar extra for decaf, a dollar extra for ice, etc.

Really organized spot with a really cohesive layout. Great menu with a great display!! I had the best cold brew there and the ‘glory muffin’ is so good!!!

One been a Discovery customer for decades, and their newer location on the Avenue is really great. It's huge! Lots of seating, inside and out. The same great selection of coffee and baked treats, and solid staff. I'm super glad they stayed in the area, and that this is my local coffee shop.

The service was so good and coffee was delicious, Sophia really made my experience by gifting me a bag of coffee from her own pocket, so kind and wonderful employee! Thanks so much again:)

Delicious! We will be back to try the other flavors. My son doesn’t usually enjoy sweets but even he thought these were really good.

Cool space. Like the doughnuts.
Service is kinda odd.
A few times ive been i swear no one behind the counter made eye contact with me.
When they got my drink size wrong I felt super discouraged to say anything.
They've mismade my drink a few times which is a bummer as often I bring my own cup in with some mct powder so I lose that when they remake it.
I find the coffee consistent though in flavor which is really nice and why I go back

A $6.50 latte? Seriously? Go down the Avenue for a reasonably priced coffee. Totally out to lunch on prices.

Service was basic and transactional. Very unfortunate because the interior is quite nice.

All I’ve had to eat is the apple fritter and it is exceptional! I can’t move on lol but it’s the echoey noisy inside as in many espresso shops. Don’t care for this atmosphere but To Go works : )

Good coffee, great donuts from Yonni’s. Service is polite but my guess is they’re not paid more than minimum given how aloof they are. No sizes over 16ozs, some more limited flavored syrup options.

My biggest complaint is the lighting. It gives me a headache within 2 minutes because they use spotlights meant for plants or highlighting walls… except they’re pointed at your face. If you are sensitive to lights or are neurodivergent and don’t like big lights, you don’t want to come here.
