Went for the first time, staff was terrible. The three girls were rude and kept laughing amongst themselves every time I asked them a question. I Felt very awkward and uncomfortable. I do not recommend this place. Never going again. Not friendly people.

I will definitely be back. It's a cozy cafe with soft chairs inside. I got the Iraqi Tea and it was delicious!! Plus it's served on this gorgeous tea set My only note was that the bread I ordered was cold and hard. It would have been much nicer warmed up. But t everything else was lovely.

The inside is BEAUTIFUL. They def utilized the space the best way they can. Although I'm using this review for the actual coffee. It's prob the worst coffee I ever tasted. How can you have sucha beautiful place w/ TRASH COFFEE. I had the Biscoff latte (it's literally, milk w/ espresso (espresso tasted old) & crumbs of biscoff. 1/5 for effort. My sister had a Gold Digger it was okay nothing different. 2/5 for effort. won't go back again. The 2 stars because inside was beautiful but that was it. Ppl go here for the ambiance not the coffee.

Awesome service and plenty of seating. They've got a tasty variety of coffee, tea, and food options that you'll really enjoy.

Walked in for a coffee before a flight and was surprised by a beautiful authentic Turkish coffee shop! The food is incredible.

Yeah I.
Ive been going here for a month now. Some things I've noticed: I'm consistently greeted immediately upon entering by the workers. They're helpful throughout the ordering process, and always answer all of my questions. My latte is usually out within 3-10 minutes of ordering. I noticed the negative reviews about how long it takes. I honestly think that's just for the weekend because I have no issue on a weekday!

We came to the cafe shop on this past Saturday for to-go drinks. At first glance, the menu and interior seemed very promising. I was very excited to try out the drinks. However, the coffee shop is rather disorganized and chaotic. We waited 40-50 min for two drinks while one customer who was there before we ordered, still hadn't got her drinks( she probably waited 1 hr). I could sense her frustration and she kept walking to the counter to check. Some customers who came after everyone somehow got their drinks soon after. I also later overheard that the ice maker was broken that day, which is probably the reason of delay. I hope they can improve the organization and management of cafe shop. The day I came probably just happened to be the unlucky day. I'll visit again someday to try it out.

My drink was made perfectly! I got a traditional vanilla latte with almond milk. The lady working today was by herself and even with the pressure from all the customers she remained calm and collected! It was worth the wait and I’ll definitely go back!

If this isn't the cutest coffee shop in all the lands, I don't know what is. All the little details, from the ceiling to the walls to the chairs to all the gold things - this place has the cutest aesthetic. The place itself is quite small so it may be difficult to find a place to sit if you're with other people, but they also have a few gold speckled tables out side to sit at. Everything that my group ordered was fabulous and so tasty!! We ordered the Gold Digger latte, Rose Cardamom Honey latte, Blueberry Dream, Flat White, Lahmajun, Baklava. My only complaint was that they didn't put edible gold on the gold digger latte and I feel like that may be a reason why some people would choose to order that drink. Side note: I would not use the restroom here - it's a mission to get there and I would feel uncomfortable going there by myself. You have to walk through a parking structure, then an empty hallway just to get to the restroom.
Good selections of baklava's to choose from... A bit snug of a place, however it's homie, and also some seating outside as well (plus the park is close by if you're in the mood for that). Barista (if that is the proper name for position???), was on point; must have made a million drinks (ok, a bit exaggerated, but A LOT), and still, she made them with TLC, and my mocha tasted great, (so to the beautiful red head making coffee, keep up the great work). All in all, a nice spot, and great addition to the ever-changing hood.

I really wanted to like this place and had been meaning to try it for ages, however I probably picked the worst time to come. We came in Saturday morning around 11am and the place was packed! It's a lovely shop with cute ambience and decor but it's just not scaled up to the demand this shop is facing! I've gotten so many instagram videos about this place and boy did they look promising! We ordered a rose cardamom latte, a cream brûlée latte and a pistachio slice and it took us 30+ minutes to get our items. There were only 3 people working the shop for what could have been close to 20 orders in the span of 15 mins. Now whether the food quality being mid was an issue due to over worked staff or if it's a consistent 'style over substance', I couldn't tell. Hopefully I can come back when less crowded.

Very cute intimate place. Takes time to make your coffee but well worth the wait. Coffee is amazing!

Maybe their wait time is normal , because even waiting for one of their baked goods you'll wait at least 8-10 mins! Lol. Why, tho? You can easily just put these in the bag/plate and hand them to your customer. Anywhoo, I've had some of their drinks and of course their baked goods. I have to say their prices are $$$$$ super high! For example this small slice of 'carrot" is $10!!!! Service as I mentioned is slow, does that mean bc they take time to make them due to the quality, hmmm, I don't think so. The extra star I gave is the ambiance but like others say when it's busy it's not so much a spot you can go to and relax.
