Ordered a latte, did the whole "good morning", "latte please", "thank you so much" thing, tipped $1, barista definitely wasn't rude but I got a strong "here's your drink now go away" vibe. I guess she wanted to get back to chatting with her friends.Coffee was good, internet was poor (I went to do work on my laptop and was disappointed), service was acceptable. There are many places to get coffee on solano and you could do worse, but you could also do better.

RUDE STAFF. Cashier with round glasses and short hair talked to me like I was an idiot?!? Also, their latte was genuinely terrible. Awful experience overall. SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Hal’s Office Coffee smelled heavenly as soon as I walked in on a Saturday morning. I judge a coffee shop based on the quality of its cold brew, and theirs did not disappoint. The pastries looked and tasted scrumptious. The ambiance was lofty, friendly, and coastal.

Good macchiato; Counter Culture beans; great outdoor seating area; huge line on weekends

To me, it’s the jam of dawn that makes this place very special. It spills over the toast of clouds; and you have about 10 minutes to catch the moment, on your retina or phone. A cappuccino takes as much time to drink. And here, it tastes dawn delicious.

Latte was a bit uninspired. Didn't really taste much flavor. Missed the magic.

Some coffee shops just hit different - Hal’s knows how to do a latte. Simple, but the vanilla here was just ✨BETTER✨

Cosy neighborhoodly cafe. Great pastries and plenty of outdoor seating on a sunny day. I'd prefer my coffee darker but glad to have avoided a French

I was killing some time before an appointment, and I wandered into Hal's. I ordered my go to drink, a dirty chai, with two shots of espresso. Chai lattes can vary widely, so I keep my expectations at a new place low. The drink they gave me was about my Platonic ideal of a dirty chai. The chai was peppery enough to leave a tingle on the roof of my mouth, but not overwhelming. The espresso balanced the sweetness with the perfect amount of bitterness, but didn't mask the flavor of the chai. If I lived nearby I'd be back tomorrow morning. And the day after that. And the day after that...
