Went in for a quick coffee break and ended up staying a bit longer than planned. The place has a relaxed feel, not too loud, and it was easy to find a seat. I ordered a medium latte and a pastry, both were solid and tasted fresh. Nothing over the top, just done right. The barista was polite and didn’t rush anyone even though there was a small line. Prices felt fair for the area. It’s the kind of coffee shop you’d come back to when you want something consistent and low key, not trying too hard but still doing a good job.

The service was nice while being a bit slow. There was a nice bright, big open room to sit and have your drink but the metal chairs are really uncomfortable. The Vietnamese coffee was delicious. My real problem with my experience here was the food. For over $5 the chicken empanadas were tiny, dry and tasted like unmixed flour. It was gross and I was expecting something at least the size of a bagel.

Today I went through the drive-thru and ordered an Iced Tiramisu Latte. The employee took my order and I paid. When I got to the window to pick it up, she told me they didn’t have the tiramisu and had made me a Pink Drink instead. It was very disappointing. If an item is unavailable, the customer should be informed before taking payment and should be asked whether they want a replacement or a refund. Instead, I was given a drink I didn’t order and only then told my original order wasn’t available. Because of this experience, I won’t be coming back to this café.

Great coffee, creative seasonal drinks, and friendly service. The space feels inviting and the food is solid. One of the best neighborhood spots.

Good coffee
My partner and I ordered this on Doordash because she wanted to try the Matcha Latte. Overall we ordered a regular Mexican Mocha, a regular Matcha Latte, Avocado Toast and Acai Bowl. The Matcha Latte Queen said the Matcha Latte was one of the better ones in downtown but she would not get it again. The Mexican Mocha was nice as well as the food. Solid spot.

Best mom & pop coffee place in the area. Dine in for a nice chill spot, or the drive-thru. Friendly staff, really thoughtful.

The food is good. I am a tea lover. Jasmine green tea is so delicious. I like the banana bread.

I also had the pumpkin bagel which mmm super cute but it was kind of doughy hard. My dad got it too and his was toasted better so he said it tasted better that way.
Good coffee and service.
Hot coffee and cold.
Didn't try the food, just got coffee.
Fair sized parking lot.
Kind of noisy inside, but there are tables outside.

I asked if they had any nice single origin coffees. Both front workers did not know what that meant. That's embarrassing.
I asked if they had vegan pastries and they didn't know.
Then I bought an Americano and was up charged $1 for oat milk. That's insane!
I won't be back and recommend you not come here either.
