The shaken espresso is great, just wish the Cubano was actually in focaccia as advertised, when I asked about it they said that was it, but it was clearly some type of regular toasted sliced bread 🍞
Always get the Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso and it’s delicious! Got to try the Cubano, it’s definitely my favorite food item.

The atmosphere is always welcoming. Their coffee is so good, not too sweet, and not too bitter. They always make it just right. Their breakfast/lunch sandwiches are made to order and they are really good.
It's a great little place with a nice atmosphere.
Amazing coffee with prices slightly above Starbucks, but it's all worth it. Great taste, doesn't taste processed like Starbucks and the customer service is amazing. My only complain keeping me from giving it a 5 star review is with the quality of their to go containers. Super flimsy, you look at them the wrong way and they explode and spill all over the place. Hoping they upgrade to a more thick plastic material for the plastic cups in the future.
I went today and ordered 1 vanilla latte and 2 caramel machiatos, I thought my vanilla latte tasted watered down, but I assumed maybe it was just my luck. However when my daughters tried their coffees they almost spit it out. There was zero caramel, zero sweet, just an expresso and water taste. She also tasted mine and we concluded that all 3 tasted the exact same. I decided I would go back and ask them to pour a pump of caramel or 2 in the drinks and was greeted by the employee desperately trying to shut the door in my face saying they couldn't do anything about it because they just closed. I was like okey but you just sold me 3 coffees that aren't drinkable and all I'm asking for is a pump of caramel syrup that I can see 3 feet away from us. She proceeded to shut the door in my face while saying we're closed and that we could complain online so here I am. That wasn't very 3:16 of you👎 I'm a regular client too.
The sandwich and coffe was delicious, the Service was good, they were very polite, fast and good conversationists. The atmosphere was homey and relaxing. Will definitely come back again (:
Kid-friendliness: They have couch seating available with outside tables as well.

I thought I had found a new place to make my mornings extra special...coffee was delicious and I felt proud to be supporting a small business vs starbucks. IHowever, barista/customer service really ruined the continuous good service I had experienced the first 3-4 times. After that it was just very passive aggressive, very not good vibes, I did communicate via instagram and they addressed my concerns in such an amazing and receptive manner however this particular person that seems to not enjoy her job just made me not want to return and stop promoting the business as I had initially done so. I thought it was just me at first, but someone I had referred picked up on the same energy. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be for the long run. Truly unfortunate, will have to try the Imperial location instead whenever possible. Thank you for the good days. God bless 🙏🏼

If you have the patience, then stop on by for a sweet drink or hot espresso. Avocado toast will leave you craving for more, while their jalapeño cream cheese will leave you feeling stuffed and happy.
Timing seems to be uncoordinated between baristas, but nothing egregious—but, even other independent coffee roasters in bigger populations get your coffee done no more than 7 minutes for a latte, not 16. Empty or not, as a former server, the prep work seems lacking.

This cafe is highly reccomended!! for a quick coffee with a relaxing wonderful cafe style atmosphere. freshly brewed cold brew is my go to and the baristas are wonderful!! 100/10!!!
Our barista Tony was incredibly friendly and skilled at concocting us a mocha frappe and hot matcha latte. I especially loved their loaded croissant here! Pleasantly surprised this hidden gem in Imperial Valley. They have a sister branch in El Centro that just grand opened in May 2024. Will have to check out that location as well.

A coworker recomended getting cofee here and I am a bit of a coffee snob, rarely buying brewed coffee. This place was absolutely one of the best coffees I've had, very well balanced (I had a cappucino... BTW, I also lived in Italy for 3 years.), no sugar or anything needed, just great taste.
The menu had an avovado bacon toast, so i decided to try it and it was perfection! Not just a little smear of avocado, but a mound easily between 1/2 and a whole avocado. Perfectly seasoned with salt and pepper.
Rare is the case when a meal can be so perfect as to need no seasonings, sauces, or added condiments...
I travel for work and this is definitely a top place throughout CA and AZ. I'll absolutely come back!
