Daydreamer Cafe Coffee Shops • $

“I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place and was very pleased with how friendly the barista was. I’ve been on a hunt for masala chai made in house, and this place was the closest to it I’ve found, using a concentrate instead of a sugary powder with no spice. My drink was lukewarm, which was a little disappointing, but it wasn’t unbearable and was the best-tasting chai latte I’ve had in town so far.

Parking was a bit of a hassle to find, but it was doable.“

The drinks are very consistent, i feel like I can get the same drink no matter if its this location or another and its the best! The line may be long, but it moves quick. Also, the fall drinks are the absolute best!! I recommend the Pumpkin Blondie, but add an extra shot of Brown Sugar Cinnamon and add cold foam and caramel drizzle. It is literally heaven in a cup.“

“This location only takes app or drive-thru orders — as someone who's always busy, I actually loved that it kept the line short and the process quick. The staff explained everything so warmly and patiently, too. As an ESL speaker, I sometimes worry about being understood, but their friendly eye contact and tone made communication easy. They even double-checked my order to make sure it was right.
The genuine warmth of the staff made it a memorable stop. I'll definitely be back!“
