I‘m traveling through the U.S. and this was the very first coffee which didn‘t charged anything for alternative milk! I was gladly surprised about and the coffee was very tasty and the waitress very kind! Would highly recommend this place and there should be more café‘s like this who don‘t charge the non diary milk! I mean it‘s 2024!

Great coffee with a wide selection for flavors & craft specialities. The cashier/baristas are super helpful for providing reccomendations. The atmosphere is very relaxed and a great place to meet for dates/friends.The food is good, but overpriced for the amount you get. Overall a great coffee shop

I come here for full coffee shop vibes. Music is always on point and the big window lighting is perfect for working or hanging out. They have a decaf version of almost everything which is amazing. I specifically love the Nutella cold brew (also made decaf). For food, the avocado bread is my favorite with the fresh radish and lemon on top.Wheelchair accessibility: They have designated seating for handicapped and there are no stairs to the entrance.

Nestled in a cozy setting, the cafe offers reliable 80Mbps WiFi and convenient street parking. Every table is equipped with power outlets, ensuring you have flexibility in choosing your seating. The servers are welcoming, and the drink menu offers a decent selection. Opting for the Cinnamon Swirl Mocha, I found it quite enjoyable, and the beverage was served in an aesthetically pleasing and fancy cup, adding to the overall experience.

I absolutely adore it. The Rose Dusted vanilla latte is INCREDIBLE. The açaí bowl stands out as one of the best, smooth and creamy. The way they melt their peanut butter on top is a game changer compared to a cold, thick dollop like most places. The Avocado toast and peanut banana toast were also fantastic.

This place is painfully bland in decor and ambiance. Every single table has people set up working in their laptops so it’s hard to sit and enjoy your drink because people are on work calls. Ordered a cappuccino which seems to be challenging for the baristas here because I always end up with a latte and have to ask for a remake with more foam. The drink came out so hot I had to wait five minutes and then when I took a sip I still burned my tongue. I ended up just leaving the entire thing and going to Moe coffee down the street. Pastries are good.

Parking is quite challenging coming to Holsem. There appears to be a parking structure south of Holsem Coffee. It appears to be a $1 per hour to a maximum of $5 per day. The coffee shop is beautiful and modern inside. It would be a great place to sit there with friends to chat. However, I think the main thing that I didn't like was their lattes which was the whole point of coming here. I ordered different lattes on two different occasions and came to the conclusion that I am paying for overpriced flavored oat milk. I bet that their regular coffee is much better than their overpriced lattes but have not had an opportunity yet to do so. I had their orange vanilla latte at my first visit which was decent, but a little on the sweet side with the orange vanilla flavoring. The second time I came here, I had their Rose Dusted Vanilla Latte which was also the same thing where the rose dust sweetness was overpowering.I did also have an opportunity to try my friend's Hazelnut Peanut Butter Mocha. It was somewhat bland and dominated by milk. The caffeine should really represent in these lattes. However, in my opinion, it seems to be lacking. I would say avoid their lattes. Maybe their traditional coffee selections are better and would suit my palette.
Came here after 5 years! I never noticed how close it was to the North Park Observatory. It was coming down pretty hard after we walked in (rainy). The interior was packed full of people on their laptops. Some working, playing games, etc. Luckily Holsem Coffee isn't a place where it's silent upon walking in! They had pastries, bagged beans, and more available at the counter. The re did the look of the menu again-- specialty coffee all the way at the top of the menu and teas and more at the bottom. The font is larger and more easy to read than last time. It's bright and modern. There's a good amount of seating and every spot was utilized. They had bar seating which is where we sat (I've sat here more than 4 times! My dad and I sat here the very first time I ever been to Holsem 6 years ago). There were two individuals who were on their computer at a four person table. Luckily, they were understanding and welcoming to people that came in and wanted to sit inside (seeing that it was pouring rain). And allowed them to sit with them at the table! I love that étiqueté -- reminded me of Vietnam in a way. To drink, I ordered the iced strawberry malt latte. My mom had the orange vanilla bean latte (hot). I remember when they called this the orange vanilla bean cappuccino! My mom really enjoyed her drink saying it was "so yummy!" And then asking me if I have vanilla bean at home, wanting me to create the syrup myself! Haha. It was really the perfect drink, when having it hot you could taste that fragrant orange note. My iced strawberry malt latte had a very strong aroma and taste. It was really flavorful and the espresso wasn't bitter in any way. This is one of my favorite lattes I ever gotten, and I'm glad that even 5 years later -- it tastes superb. Quality control is incredible here. So consistent!! These two drinks were about $13 total. The music was pretty good, kind of hoping they'd perhaps play some Nothing But Thieves as well maybe from their newest album? I think that could work really well in a coffee shop. The workers were really friendly and informative about the drinks. My mom got to learn what a cortado is, what the honey muffin consists of, and more.We parked around the corner near target and got a spot where it was 2 hours! Pretty nice. Parking sometimes is a little tough in this area. Overall, I'd recommend this to many people and I hope that if you decide to come you'll enjoy it as well! Don't be hesitant to ask that person taking up a big table if you can join them :)

Atmosphere is great. There isn’t necessarily limited seating. But it fills up because of how many customers they get. I got the blueberry maple coffee. It was good not great. An interesting flavor. My friend got the rose coffee that she said was awesome. I got the golden breakfast sandwich and it was amazing!

Good place to work with plenty of seating and wifi but the music inside is quite loud for meetings. We got a strawberry specialty latte which was a little too sweet and an acai bowl.

Stumbled across this place for their unique lattes. All the lattes have a smooth mouthfeel. We went with all their specialty flavors for comparison.Orange vanilla: Very good. The orange flavor reminds me of the orange chocolates. Comparing all of the fruit ones, this one is the most spot on.Blueberry maple: The maple taste overpowers the blueberry taste. It'sweeter than the other lattes.Peanut butter mocha: This was my fav of the bunch. Even though the taste is bold, the flavors were delish. Strawberry malt: Not the type of strawberry I was expecting. It was very faint and even though fruity, I wouldn't guess strawberry unless someone told me.Service: They spend time crafting each latte so be wary of that if you come in large groups.Ambiance: There's plenty of seats inside and they sectioned a place outside for a couple of tables and chairs.

The banana bread cold brew is so addictive... I buy 2 for me every time. Great service and cozy atmosphere. My favorite coffee place.
