The only thing this spot is good for is the plentiful seating and ambiance. I got a double espresso ($4.40), and it was some of the worst I’ve had. I know black espresso is supposed to be bitter.. but this was giving more burnt beans. I’d come here again, but maybe after I’ve already had my caffeine elsewhere.

Great atmosphere and energy! Visited on a Saturday afternoon when they had live music. The staff were friendly and relaxed, and there’s a nice variety of pastries and lattes. A wonderful addition to the San Pedro Market scene.

I really really like this spot in San Pedro Square. I can’t help but think Voyager made a mistake to move down the street.. I wanted to stay loyal to them, but it was hard to as I think I’m more loyal to the location than anything.
It has a great big comfy area for mornings and early afternoons— to work, to chill for a while, and especially to bring my big dog. There’s always tables and it doesn’t feel cramped like most coffee shops do.
The food and coffee are okay. It’s worth coming for the environment!
I think there’s great potential if they add their banana cold foam latte that they’re known for at Academic.

It’s a decent spot. It used to be the Voyager Cafe before which is now moved across the street. The cafe shares it place a bar and there are a lot of seats. Both Indoor as well as outside. Saw a bunch of people working. Is pretty busy and it took a while to place my order. There is also a kiosk if you don’t want to interact in person. Got an ice lattice, and it was pretty okay. Again, nothing exceptional. Got the butter croissant as well. It was pretty bad and not worth it at all. Maybe because it was sitting there for a while and wasn’t fresh. Would not order again. Overall, a bad place to grab a coffee.

They pre-make their matcha in advance and my matcha came from ketchup bottle poured on top. When I was there, there was no line either. Either way, it totally defeats the purpose of matcha, which is supposed to be whisked and enjoyed fresh.

The coffee is amazing at this place! I love their Tiramisu latte, except... for the rude barista that continued to give attitude, it felt like we were bothering him when he was taking our order. I asked a simple question if the coffee itself is sweet, he kept side-eyeing me and had a sarcastic tone throughout the transaction. I'm so disappointed in the service. I was really looking forward to grabbing coffee and now it makes me hesitant to come back. The ladies have been so kind every time I come here. He was to busy dancing the day away than to be a friendly person. Service matters.

The exterior of the place is very nice and aesthetically pleasing. The line was quite short when we arrived, but we waited 45 minutes for our drinks. We had ordered two drinks—a chai latte and a tea latte—but both tasted like water.
Not only that, but we were initially only given one drink, and the staff insisted we had only ordered one, even after checking their computer system. We had to clearly show them our receipt to finally receive both drinks.
The drinks were terrible, and the customer service was equally poor. You're better off going to Voyager right across the street. You'll actually get a delicious coffee you won't regret.
