Solid coffee shop, attached to a space with a collection of select/apparel shops which makes it a fun stop whenever you're around.I had the basic latte and dirty vanilla chai, hot, hich were both tasty. I was impressed with the latte for their strong fruity taste; I don't have coffee that distinct in character often, so it was a fun drink that made me want to try their drip next time. The dirty vanilla chai was a fairly standard vanilla chai, solid.Sitting room inside is a bit limited, though there's some standing tabling outside, and the line was a little slow though the service was good.Def will come back and would recommend.

LOVE this place. It's walkable from my home and they let me bring my pup in with me, which is great for her as she does not handle being left outside very well. Aside from that, the coffee is amazing. I've tried several flavors and have yet to be disappointed. Their cookies and muffins are also perfection. My favorite is the Mantecada muffin...so light and delicious! And the service is always friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable.Parking: Parking garage has a 15 minute grace period if you just want to grab some quick coffee to go.

Tesla owners be warned!! And even if you're not a Tesla owner and plan to just go here and get some work done.. buy something right away, not when you actually want it.I considered giving it one star but as you might have caught, this review is not for the coffee, food or ambience.. this review is for sitting at a table with my laptop and headphones and being confronted by an (employee or manager) who asked me to leave unless I buy something. She told me this was my second notice and that I was warned the day before to buy something for sitting there, but that wasn't true, if it was this review would have been posted a day earlier . So Instead of buying something I left. Imagine if starbucks whose policy is basically "please come hang out with us all day, sit, relax, read a book, do some work, whatever we just want you here.. (because we know you'll eventually buy something, and then again and again, gleefully until you monthly Starbucks bill is as much as a small mortgage). It's true am I right!?But no not this place. They're straight up going against their own interests. Would I have bought something? yeah eventually, when I wanted something! Besides I'm literally doing them a favor by sitting here.. it's a small shop that is often empty, my sitting there gives them immediate social proof for window shoppers to come in and try it out. Seriously how many of you have considered trying a new place only to find out it's vacant like a ghost town and feeling weird and walking away, assuming it's probably $h*!.. I mean.. not very good? I know I have.In fact Ive already been a customer, many times before.. I've had their food and coffee on a number of visits, and it's totally consumable, not the best in the world (that would disputably be in Italy) but certainly not the worst. However I go here for only one set of reasons.. my kids attend OCSA and I own a Tesla (tesla chargers are upstairs). The drive one way is far and this is the nearest, cheapest (and also slowest) supercharger around. So when I charge and don't want to sit in the car for 45 mins.. and maybe need to use the bathroom and get a coffee, I'll come here.. Or at least I used to.*** updated review *** Business owner responded. Changing to one star review. Speaking directly to the Business owner - this was your chance to hear me and make it better but you just did the opposite. You are lying about your comment, when you approached me (today and not before) there was only one other person in there and when I left a few minutes after you approached, there was no one in the store, so you're argument is invalid. Nice try tho. But like I said in my original comment, I've purchased from you before on a few occasions and would have again. Your behavior cost you a guest and a bad review. Hope it was worth it

First the drink was amazing I got a recommendation from a barista and it didn't disappoint! I got the iced Mexican mocha. Sweet and not too chocolatey so I really liked it! I got a cookie and it was so soft yet crunchy ! The place was such a good space that had a cool trail side with all locks venders. And a place to do open mic . Come and support small businesses and delicious coffee !

Good coffee, good ambiance, clean restrooms and lots to look at inside there's a bunch of clothing stores. I ordered the honey nut Cheerios latte iced and I absolutely loved it. Had a nice not too light no too dark color to it and light ice. I used the restroom and it was nice and big and clean. It wasn't busy on a Sunday around 5pm. They have a full menu and their pastries looked delicious.

Great coffee, really great and friendly service, great food items as well!I am deducting a star because of a thing that I sadly see more and more in the US: Handing out drinks and food in to-go cups / boxes by default. That’s not cool for multiple reasons: First of all, it‘s unnecessary to create so much waste for a short coffee stop. Let‘s care for Earth and use some actual cups and plates! Second of all, a good coffee like that merits a good container. Even a great coffee is tarnished by serving it in cardboard and plastic, both in taste and presentation.So please offer real tableware!

I stumbled on this place because I didn't have any luck with the last two I was trying to check out that same morning. One was closed for a private event and the other one had weird parking options and I didn't want to risk getting a ticket when all I wanted was a coffee. So I parked at a meter parking when I found this place on Yelp and only because someone had just pulled out of it and still had some time left. Otherwise, I would pick another spot cuz I hate paying for parking. It was way too cold as soon as I entered the store but there was a line which makes me believe that this was actually a good place. I ordered a drink that I wasn't familiar with just by looking at the name, and the cashier who helped me wasn't very nice when she told me it's just a white chocolate mocha. I just feel like she was making it seem like I should've known what it was and I was asking her nicely too. And plus, what if I didn't even know what a white chocolate mocha was. I just felt dumb for asking and I wish she didn't reply the way she did. But besides that, I will judge this place solely on my drink and the food. I ordered the avocado toast and to my surprise, this was a big toast! It was very good and it was a good size, very filling. I would definitely recommend this. My drink as well was very good and would recommend it. Nothing different about it but it was classic.

Good people, good coffee and great atmosphere to relax, chat and study. I usually get the pour over coffee and it is always great. The specialty drinks are also great along with the Avocado Toast.
