The croissants here are like supermarket croissants. Edible, but without joy. The coffee is similar—mine had a burnt undertone. The atmosphere is fine, but could be improved with some aesthetic attention. The location is great, and the service too.

I’m not going to say the individual behind the counter was racist…BUT when I walked in to order a coffee he seemed uncomfortable and almost angry..as I approached the counter he didn’t greet me at all, just stood there and waited for me to order. I thought maybe I was being too sensitive. After I ordered and a group of white folks came in, he immediately gave them the “good morning, how are you doing today?” And was visibly more happy about serving them.

My latte was great, breakfast sandwich was bland. Might go back just to confirm this behavior.

The cafe bogia latte (got it hot with oat milk) was INCREDIBLE. Not too sweet and very flavorful. Had the orange taste I wanted

The guy that made my bagel was super rude and annoyed for some reason. He sort of yelled too when I asked him to repeat something. The bagel was good tho

Cute place to sit and bagel sandwiches were decent but all the coffee tasted pretty bad, had a weird mechanical taste to it and we couldn't drink more than a third

Cashier clearly messes up orders on purpose, foods good, always messes up drink order and then cries about it when it’s pointed out, little kid attitude !

Ordered a chagaccino and got gaslit instead.

When I pointed out the drink wasn't what I ordered, the barista snarkly asked if I ever had the drink before. ??

Coffee is burnt, and croissant is soft. But location is pleasant and many regulars. Soothing.

Been here a few times. The first two I ordered Borgia which is pretty good. Third time I came I asked for a cappuccino and gave me something else. Forth time I ordered matcha mint chip latte and gave me matcha latte. I told the staff I couldn't taste the mint chip and that's when he said they don't have mint chip. Monday staff always messes up the order.

I got a latte, it was average. They are not environmental friendly, to-go cups are plastic also they don’t offer porcelain cups for here orders. Unfortunately, staff is rude too. My friend asked for the Wifi password and they told her she needs to order first. It turned out to be that the password was on the wall.

I love going back to this coffee shop. Mike, the owner is very sweet and Guillermo, his assistant is very hard working ?.

Menu and selection is top notch but I would say execution is very very mediocre for both food and drinks. Feels like quantity over quality which makes me sad to say cuz it’s a nice place.
