Love the lavender latte! The staff are always kind and in a great mood. Decor is beautiful. Only wish they they more seating and extended hours.

If you’re looking for a coffee shop that gets everything right, Tellus Coffee is it.

The coffee is consistently excellent. Thoughtfully sourced, expertly brewed, and clearly made by people who care about quality. Whether you’re grabbing a quick espresso or settling in with a latte, it’s the kind of coffee you remember and come back for.

The staff deserves a shoutout too. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind without feeling forced. You’re greeted like a regular even on your first visit, and they’re always happy to help you find something new or tailor a drink to your taste.

The atmosphere strikes that rare balance between cozy and modern. It’s warm, well designed, and inviting. Perfect for catching up with a friend, getting some work done, or just enjoying a quiet moment with a great cup of coffee.

And don’t skip the food. The assortment is thoughtfully curated with something for everyone, from fresh pastries to savory options that actually feel satisfying, not like an afterthought.
Tellus feels like a true neighborhood coffee shop. High quality, welcoming, and done with care. Highly recommend.

One of the best small batch roasters in the area.

This is a really asthetic cafe with an additional room in the back to sit in. I got an iced coffee with burnt honey cinnamon syrup in it, and I personally didn’t like it, but that’s not one of their signature items. A small iced coffee was also $7, which is personally not worth it.

I’ve been going to Tellus since 2021. While the menu changes year to year, they consistently offer tasty drinks and food. Their stunning plant wall brings a relaxing ambience and something lovely to look at while waiting.
I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know the staff over the years and I’ve always enjoyed their service and care. As someone who has experienced working in customer service, and was in the coffee shop today, I admire the team for doing their best dealing with customers that lack awareness and patience.
Highly recommend the orange cardamom latte or butterscotch latte!

The manager here is very aggressive and rude. I witnessed him berating an old lady over punch card expiration in front of everybody. He should be working here. He has no shame and no clue about customer service. I have seen him being rude to customers in so many other occasions. But this is it! Never coming back here and I’ll tell all my friends and family about this experience. He should go!!!!

Ashy dark roast. Sad.

I don't leave negative reviews because I understand how much they can impact a small business, but this experience really disappointed me to the point that I took an hour out of my time to sign up on Yelp and write a review on yelp and on Google.

I discovered Tellus about 4-5 months ago and have been coming almost every weekend for an açaí later smoothie and a breakfast sandwich. I genuinely enjoyed the place and even told friends and family about it. I also learned about their “buy 10 drinks, get one free” card and was happy to participate about three months ago.

When I went in to purchase my 10th drink, I was told that as of January 1st they no longer honor the punch cards. While I understand policies can change, I asked if they could honor it since I was already on my 10th purchase and had been incentivized to continue buying with the promise of a free drink. I assumed the manager would understand, but unfortunately, he refused and said I still would need to buy my 10 cup to get a free one and we no longer are honoring it.

What bothered me most is the principle. Over the last couple of months alone, I’ve spent roughly $25–$30 per visit sometimes more when bringing my wife and kids easily over $300 the past 10 visits. Refusing to honor a $6 drink to keep a loyal customer happy felt unnecessary and dismissive.

It’s not about the money, but about trust and goodwill. The incentive encouraged continued business, and not honoring it left me feeling taken advantage of. It was a disappointing way to treat a regular customer who genuinely supported and promoted the business.

I love cozying up here with an amazing cup of coffee. Super friendly staff with a great vibe for getting some work down. I really love the plant wall, really curious how they maintain that haha. Food is solid as well but the coffee is the real show. Their holiday varieties are my favorite.

We waited 30 minutes for a cappuccino. We had to remind about our orders because we couldn’t wait any longer. The drinks were served in a to-go paper cup even though I asked for it to be served here. The table was dirty and no one cleaned it, so we had to move the dirty dishes ourselves to sit down.

With better service and cleanliness, this place could be much more enjoyable.
