One of my favorite coffee shops! Not only is the espresso high quality, but all of the baristas are so kind, friendly and patient. Super helpful if you’re looking to create something new.

You can’t go wrong with any of their creative coffees… but blackseed honey latte & ube latte are my favorite!

Definitely leaving feeling chill & good every time you come here.

This is one of my goto coffee shops in the area, perhaps the best one. All of their espresso drinks are quite good and the empanadas never disappoint. I usually go for the Spanish Latte.

Small space but delicious chai and empanadas and staff is friendly and helpful.

I Went there to work for a bit and the WiFi stopped working after a few hours but other than that; great spot. You may need to wait for a spot if you plan to work.l

Amazing ambiance, excellent service, chill music and patrons. Wonderful vibes all around.
Rare to find such a warm and relaxing cafe.

I loved the color scheme, lighting, etc. Modern, minimalist, clean, spacious yet still cozy with the dark ceiling and sparkly terra cotta paint in the restroom.

My iced latte was perfect. The empanada was way too salty and a little overpriced but otherwise it was flavorful and made for a good snack.

Food was great and drinks are too! Nice cozy spot. I wish there was a little bit more spacing in the seating, but it has very calming vibes. Really enjoyed the chicken croissant here specifically.

I was looking for a place to do some work early in the morning and found this place. The decor is cute with soft music, lots of outlets, fast wifi (300+Mbps and even ethernet jacks, for those who need reliable connection), and each drink comes with a hand-written affirmation/compliment (hence the name!). My coaster says, "you sparkle like the sunset". What a pleasant surprise to find a place like this 5 mins from my house. Will definitely be returning here!

I recently stopped by complimentary cafe and had a great experience. The espresso shot I ordered was rich and smooth—clearly made from quality beans. The staff was welcoming and shared their favorite blends, adding a personal touch to my visit. The vibe makes it an ideal spot to unwind or get some work done. If you like coffee, I highly recommend giving this place a

First time today, great chicken pot pie empanada with sriracha sauce on the side (per cashiers rec) and honey lavender latte. Excited to come to work here in the future!

Very clean and nice atmosphere. Love the empanadas especially the bbq chicken (update: no longer sold but Argentinian chicken is decent). It’s halal too.

Edit: I used to be a very regular customer here for months and would stop in multiple times a week. However the quality and service seemed to keep declining over time. There were new staff members every few weeks for whatever reason. I’ve had issues with my orders multiple times with no compensation (but I don’t complain often). Staff are friendly and are honestly the main reason why I made CC my go-to spot but most of the staff I was familiar with left (unsure why) and one of the new staff wanted to charge me extra for a second chimichurri cup for the empanada. That’s just being super cheap especially considering the cups aren’t even filled halfway as well as them being half the price at Savory. It’s just not the same anymore.
