They make a really good Arnold Palmer! Not too sweet! Loved it!!

Good coffee, only tried one bagel once and it was ok. Also they stop serving any food at 12 or 1 it seems?

The espresso was good and the pastry was decent for late morning arrival.
The coffee shop is small and all tables full. I did not have to wait to order but noticed the person behind me did wait to order during the prep of my coffee. I grabbed a stool at the window as I waited for my order and was pretty disappointed when my seat was taken by someone else when I went to get my coffee. Fortunately, there was a free stool. I did notice that this person who took my initial seat never ordered during my 5-10 minute visit just using free WiFi.

Great tasting espresso, on the bitter side (on this visit), which is just how I like it. Solano is the street for good coffee 👍

Don't come to this place. The only person in the staff was super unfriendly and served us a horrible cappuccino... Honestly, with the good options around it is a mistake to come here for a coffee.

I've never been to a place where I order a grilled cheese and they forget the cheese.

The staff are so helpful and kind. They make their matcha lattes with just the right amount of matcha so you are not paying for a milked out, watery drink. I got it with the honey lavender syrup to sweeten it and it was absolutely delicious. If i lived in the area I would go every day!

The decaf coffee was quite acidic and served very hot

2024-09-05 afternoon: First timer.

In-door tables could get a wipe or two (sticky and breadcrumbs all over) and seats too (breadcrumbs).

Despite having Sonic Fiber, WiFi is unreliable and at times not working; Saw 250 kbps download, 80 kbps upload, latency 2000 ms (sic!) for 10-15 mins, while there are only four guests. At times, it's not responsive at all, but at times it might be a tad better. (I suspect neighbors etc. are also connected). UPDATE +15 mins: Now I see 3-6/1-6 Mbps and ~20-30 ms latency. Maybe all guests share a very limited amount of bandwidth, and it only takes one to bring it down(?) Other guests said it was the same in the morning. Oh, well... UPDATE: Same unusable WiFi two weeks later.

I absolutely love this coffee shop. It's a great place to stop by on your way up Solano or to sit down and work for a while. The baristas are friendly and professional, and the coffee and pastries are excellent.

Burnt, bad coffee from surly barista who clearly does not want to be at work today. Good coffee should not burn your mouth or be too hot to hold the cup. Probably the worst latte I've had this year. Too bad. It's also super hot inside and no AC.

Good coffee good music okay atmosphere internet slow down for me when I was there
When I walked in the barista was talking about how college students don't tip enough which I did not find be a very welcoming conversation. When I mentioned that I liked the coffee she didn't say anything when I mentioned that I liked the music she gave one word answers. Coffee was good.

Love going here in the morning before the rush. Lovely indoor and outdoor seating and parking is pretty easy especially in the morning.
