Wow. Jeffrey.
Is it a basic manner to purchase something?
Did you seat in the restaurant without ordering? LoL.

Ordered a cold brew. It was served in a plastic cup with a straw. The beverage was simply diluted coffee, almost colorless. It was possible to read a text through the content of the cup. Not recommended.

Do get white chocolate strawberry frappe, do not get smoothies- too artificial, expensive, also dont know if there was yogurt in it

Came here to study and absolutely loved it. It’s a little noisy so if you’re looking for a quiet place, this probably isn’t the spot for you, but if you like some background I highly recommend!! Staff is so kind and welcoming and the vibe in here is great, also doesn’t get too crowded!! I’m literally gonna come here everyday.

Many coffee blends are too sweet! I ordered coffee, not lollipops

I’ll update my review since I was asked for feedback: I came to the cafe around 10 in the morning and I only bought a croissant sandwich that was in the grab and go cooler up front. I asked for it to be heated and my friends ordered 1 bagel and 1 acai bowl. All of our food came out at the same time and the wait time was over 20 minutes. I’m guessing they were short staffed but had I known it would take that long to receive a heated pre-made sandwich, I would’ve gone elsewhere. Very average sandwich at that.

Stopped by this cafe earlier this week, the cafe itself has a cozy atmosphere and the drinks are pretty good, but my previous experiences here were not as good. I’m not sure if it’s the same owner as last semester, but during the school year I would come here often. But while I was enjoying my coffee, I overheard (and clearly understood, since I’m Korean) the owner or manager scolding their staff in Korean. It wasn’t just a quick correction — it was pretty harsh, and clearly upsetting the workers. It made me incredibly uncomfortable as a customer and I felt bad for them. I can’t enjoy my coffee knowing the people making it are being treated like that. No matter how nice the cafe atmosphere is, respect for employees should come first.

Either the owner doesn’t like people coming here alone and has its regulars make you feel uncomfortable. Be vigilant, ok place tho

We split a Teriyaki chicken sandwich then had our own dessert. Blueberry cheesecake and Tiramisu. If you do not like coffee still try the Tiramisu. The coffee taste is not overly prevalent. Great selection of coffee and tea. We were there in the early evening and it was pleasant, not too busy. Parking in front of building.
