I frequently visit Mars Cafe for an iced latte. The vibe is great. My partner loves their matcha. The very small staff makes high quality food and drink and are always friendly despite how busy it gets. My partner ordered a sandwich and it smelled, looked, and tasted great. I wish they had a gluten free option like a gf bread or pastry because then I would be able to order food. Overall this place is deserving of 5 stars :) (please get gf bread)
Im on tour currently with my band and have tried a bunch of coffee throughout the USA. This place serves a well balanced latte. Nutty full bodied chocolate type bean. Not sour or too bitter. Smooth finish. Well done Mars Coffee.
I visited Mars Cafe on 6/24/25 and ordered a honey cinnamon latte—absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced, not too sweet, with a smooth finish. Great atmosphere and friendly service too. I’ll definitely be back!
