I randomly stopped here with my wife for a little brunch and was surprised at how much I enjoyed my turkey sandwich. All the ingredients were really fresh. Great deli meat, the Manresa ciabatta roll was insane and so was the smoked guava (I think?) sauce. And the Mardi Gras iced coffee was delicious.

My friend and I heard about their new Manresa Bread collab and decided to give it a try.

We got a chocolate croissant and pistachio baklava escargot to share. Sadly, the croissant was deflated and missing that signature flaky, buttery texture. The escargot looked promising but barely had any pistachio flavor. Unfortunately, their coffee didn't redeem the experience either. It was overpriced for the quality and not very espresso-forward.

Good coffee and I enjoyed all the pastries I tried. Atmosphere is not that great (at least it wasn't at the time we went). The reason I gave a 4 for service is that the server omitted telling me that the pourover I was about to get was almost three times as expensive as the usual ones. (the price was not listed and he just said it was a new offering... I just didn't imagine it would be ~$16 for a small cup! I should have asked...)

I got sick after drinking coffee from here — and I’m 100% sure this was the cause. I hadn’t consumed anything else from outside that day. I had ordered their Island Hop coffee and just 2 hours later, I had full-on food poisoning symptoms. This was unexpected and alarming. I hope they take a hard look at their food safety and handling practices.

Cooll to spend hours.. Food is fine.. Depend where you go to eat. Coffee place. I like tge idea to book your 4hours event booth ✨ birthday and more

Wait ten minutes with no line while they prepare one other order. Just wanted a black coffee. No service and wouldn't come back.

If i could give 0 stars I would, I went to this place cause my coworkers kept saying its great and coffee is delicious if only that was true for starters I want to say that the “Madagascar latte” tastes nothing like vanilla or coffee, it’s just milk, I couldn’t taste nothing but milk.
The food is overly priced $15.50 for one slice of toast thinly cut and 2 eggs is ridiculous.
I’ve never had to wait 15 for one coffee or toast thanks but no thanks

Ordered the chicken banh mi thinking I’m going to get the traditional sandwich. The sandwich was as bag ass my palm and it was square. The iced hojicha was bland as well. Waited more than 20+ mins and paid $25 in total.
Disappointing and unsatisfying

I work here now :) But after tasting this second-wave coffee, I can't go back to bigger chain coffees. The flavor and quality is just incomparable

Try matcha, if high-quality and not bitter.

I’ve never waited 15 minutes for a coffee and unfortunately it was very bitter. We ordered an oat latte and mocha. You have to pay 1 dollar for vegan milk.

I'm not kidding it was one of if not the best pour over I've ever had. Columbia origin, tasting like a variety of fruits and incredibly smooth with very low acidity. In my opinion it's a super hard combo to nail without feeling too acidic. Hard to nail down the fruits, berries, peaches, plum, apricot etc.

A very cool area with food trucks and nice shade to rest in. My drink was an iced spice island. It was delicious. Nice coffee-forward flavor with notes of spices like ginger and cardamom. Nicky was a super awesome barista and was happy to make me a great drink even with only a few minutes left before closing. I’d recommend it! -

SPRO has interesting drinks and food. But it strongly depends on who is making them.
I've had absolutely delightful drinks (spice islands, Coco de mer) and I've had the same drinks the next day which I could barely sip.
For the price, there are cafes nearby that are much more consistent.
If you like the drink, find your favorite barista and stick to them.
