Excellent vanilla cold brew served with creams this was such a good meet up spot especially if your in the biotech industry and just need to catch up

$4.5 for a half-filled cup of lukewarm and old tasting coffee. Lemon tart soggy and flavorless. Go elsewhere.

Lovely little coffee shop with a great pastry selection. I always go for savory over sweet, although this place has a lot of good sweet treats. My go to is their mocha made with dandelion chocolate. Quick personable service you won't regret

This is a great little spot if you want to get some work done that provides free wifi. The place is pretty spacious but the seats can get taken up pretty quickly especially in the afternoon. They have a wide variety of beverages and pastries to choose from. I ordered an iced matcha latte and leek & spinach croissant which were both pretty good. My friend ordered a hot matcha latte which had more options for sweeteners such as condensed milk. They have their own parking lot as well that they share with one or two other businesses which is convenient.

They usually only have 2 people working in the morning, one takes orders and handles the ovens and the other is the barista. Unfortunately, i don't think they are early risers since they don't have everything out around the time I go in which is around 815am. So sometimes you have to wait until later or get something in their cold pastry area. Their coffees and cold brew are good too. I just wish they had more options for people on their way to work before 9am.

Stopped by this coffee shop in the afternoon and it seems to be a hit or miss for the coffee. I got a brown sugar oat milk latte and it was amazing! Super creamy and the coffee flavor was strong too. My sister got their cold brew and it was not good at all. The cold brew was super sour and was really difficult to drink. My cousin got the chai latte and it was okay the chai flavor was very faint, could barely taste it, and it was way too sweet. So there definitely is some inconsistency with this coffee shop. I think sticking to the lattes is the move here. The inside is very spacious and service is very friendly so 4 stars for that but most of the drinks we ordered did not impress me.

It’s just basic. I got a flat white and asked ‘guys what are u famous for?’ and she said the danish cheese bun. Soooo basic! And I have been waiting for my coffee for 15 minutes ?

Friendly staff. We enjoyed most of their pastries. We have tried the chocolate croissant, kale one, leek?, cheese danish, mushroom cheese turnover.. and a turnover with sausage. There's places to sit inside and outside. We come here often.
Really enjoy coming here to do work. I love the marble aesthetics and they have music playing in the background. They also offer a variety of lattes & food which is perfect for catching up or doing some work. There are also a couple of outlets for charging convenience. The staff are always super nice & friendly. matcha latte 5/5 pistachio & ricotta cake 4.5/5 kale croissant 4/5

If you are into minimalist cafe vibes, highly recommend this spot. The pistachio cake was the perfect amount of sweet and lattes were simple and of good clean quality. Staff were nice and patient as I was skimming the menu and helped me find a drink to cater to my taste buds.

Pretty convenient spot over in South City! Came here one day to get some studying in before visiting family in the area. Got the cranberry turkey sandwich, Havana latte, and split a pistachio ricotta cake slice with my brother, who told me that he and my younger sister had been here before. The latte was okay, the sandwich was filling and tasty, and the cake was the super star (super light and yummy) of the order list. Love that the cafe is open and minimalist, but it could definitely work with some better lighting. Staff were nice and worked fast.

Spruce Cafe is a lovely place to get a cup of coffee and some pastries. When I go by, I usually get a cappuccino, and one of their amazing pastries. The most unique thing on the menu is the Black Latte which is a black charcoal espresso drink. My partner loves their matcha lattes and the cinnamon rolls. If you want a cinnamon roll, go early in the day because they sell out pretty fast. I tend more towards their savory foods like the flaky croissants, Spinach Feta Croissants, and mushroom turn overs. All amazing. My favorite sweet dessert is the lemon tart. The staff is very nice. I've always had a good experience. Love visiting this cafe, hope you will too.

Needed a spot to work from home and found this little cafe to work! I loved the ambiance, calm on a weekday, love their selection of lattes / coffees, and their pastries looked so delicious! They have nice soft pop music in the background and the barista made beautiful latte art! I would love to come back.
