I was looking forward to trying this cafe as the reviews looked very promising. I’m an avid coffee drinker always looking to see what SD has to offer. I decided to order a cortado, upon receiving my drink I was quite disappointed in the appearance of the drink. Typically with a cafe with expensive equipment such as this one I expect at least some level of skill to reflect at the very least the ratings and reviews this place has. But I decided to not let this ruin my initial impressions of this place! Upon trying my drink, I wasn’t satisfied with the espresso at all! The taste was very flat, and just acidic. No bitterness, nor any slight sweetness from either from the espresso or the steamed milk. There was no body to the drink whatsoever, so I was pretty bummed out. It tasted like a shot that was pulled too fast… I was also looking forward to potentially buying some roasted beans, but none of them have their roast dates, so I didn’t feel confident that I would get quality beans. I don’t think I would return to an establishment like this, which is a shame as the ambiance is nice. If anyone frequents this place, please let me know when is the best time to order drinks. It’s such a shame that a promising place could be a disappointment. Luckily the drink was only $3, so I won't act like I got scammed. If you like affordable coffee then you should definitely check this place out!

Coffee's alright, I always find it difficult to get a perfect cup of coffee when I buy out so, like most places it was ok.

This is a really nice place to just chill and enjoy a coffee or whatever else you get. There's plenty of space to sit either inside or outside, and the actual shop is kept clean. The restroom here is also well maintained too.

Great coffee shop!! The outdoor area is amazing! Never had a bad cup of coffee here. The staff is always nice and welcoming, and willing to answer all my silly coffee questions. The espresso is perfect and tastes great. My 4 year old is extremely happy with the taste and temperature of her kids hot chocolates. Highly recommended ??

Busy coffee shop with decent coffee. Not sure it's anything special but probably popular because it's right next to the kids' soccer business. It was busy on a Saturday morning and parking was crazy.
There are a few tables inside and more seating outside. There was a Bible study or something happening inside when I was there. I ordered a tea latte and an acai bowl. Both were meh.

The wait to get a coffee was pretty ridiculous, but well worth it. The servers were nice and hopeful when ordering our drinks. Such a cute shop and I think they're Christian run too!

Cute little rustic spot with good home roasted beans.
Worst coffee I’ve ever had. Avoid.
