The coffee is good, the food is good, the servers are under staffed, flustered, and consistently and make it unpleasant to visit

Visited this location and unfortunately experienced rude service from the staff member who assisted us. He was dismissive and rushed us, and even slammed the door as we left. I hope he finds the joy he’s missing…

Rude staff…ordered a breakfast sandwich ahead of time and when I came to pick it up the women working today told us that our food order slowed her down and continued to complain about our order. Sorry ma’am but that’s your job and we’re paying customers

Coconut cold brew was delicious, not to sweet, first sip is just a cloud of coconut, then the cold brew breaks through and balances off the sip. Highly recommend

The gentleman working did not seem happy about working by himself on this beautiful Saturday morning. He told me my sandwich would take 25 minutes .ok that’s fine but I had to leave when they didn’t accept cash.

I’m a total coffee snob and was blown away by this place. Their espresso is among the best I’ve ever had. Found this place while visiting from Denver and am just heartbroken I can’t find anything as good as this was back home. Also, the cronuts are amazing! Get one of those too!

Drank some yummy coffees at Communal Coffee! We ordered salted caramel and banana caramel lattes and really liked them. Lots of indoor seating, with a few outdoor as well. Friendly service and don’t need to wait too long. Recommend!

Coffee was bland, tasted more of milk than actual coffee. The salmon gave me a stomach ache and issues. Overpriced. You’re only paying for the look of the place.

I ordered a cortado and an everything bagel with cream cheese. The device listed tipping options starting at 15%, 18%, then 20%. First of all, I do tip, but thought it was strange how the tipping starts so high. Other coffee shops start in the 10-12% range. The barista who took my order was super grouchy, couldn't be bothered to smile. They gave me a look that seemed like they couldn't stand the person in front of me. Once the cortado was ready, I felt immediate disappointment. It was the size of a 3oz dixie cup for over $4.50. Sure cortados are small, but not that small. Then, they ran out of bagels, and the barista offered me to substitute a pastry. I chose the chocolate croissant. As delicious as it was, I was bummed they didn't offer to reimburse me the price difference for the food items. Interior design left much to be desired. Will not be back.

This coffee shop is a cut above the rest. Most coffee shops use sugar to sell their their drinks. The coffee and ingredients here are superior and the drinks are surprisingly not that sweet. I usually drink black coffee & can't handle too much sugar. The ube matcha latte came with a deep rich green matcha base and a cream purple ube 'syrup' on top. The ube is present but not strong & hardly sweet. The matcha is doesn't fall out of the milk like Starbucks pale lime green beverage & the matcha is strong & tasty but not grainy! How do they make it so perfect? I am a fan of the quality and consistent of their offerings. Also a great quiet work space

Dropped in for a quick cup of caffeine to start the day. Wasn't sure what I wanted but ended up with a delicious dirty coconut matcha, gluten free lemon poppy seed muffin and chocolate croissant for the kids. Both the inside seating and back patio were beautiful!
