The coffee is very good. The chocolate was better. But Olivia the barista was the best. Listen to my crazy stories and made our drinks perfectly.

Known for their coffee, but they have very earthy and delicious matcha too, and their latte art is impressive!
Fully accessible (though seating is a bit congested, so I didn’t stay to eat).
Friendly and efficient service.
Parking on both sides of street out front.
I do think, friendly advice, that the pastries would be more visually appealing with a touch of color. Everything was brown.
Maybe include a few items that naturally have some color: berries in a muffin or scone, lemon bars, seven-layer bars, macrons, etc, or decorate the case with some fresh picked herbs or flowers.
It just…everything on the counter was brown. As a baker and former cafe owner, I saw possibility :-).
The matcha with almond milk was good. I definitely would add honey next time as it was very not sweet, but it was good.

Greeted by knowledgeable and friendly staff as soon as I stepped in and appreciated the aroma of the exceptional coffee beans. Clean, minimalist space, with mostly natural light pouring through the large windows. I enjoyed beans from Mexico and the clarity of flavors was remarkable, showcasing the meticulous care in sourcing and roasting the beans.

George Howell's reputation as one of the preeminent roasters in the United States is not diminished by this clean, well-run, charmingly staffed cafe. A large selection of freshly roasted beans are on offer (of course) and for espresso drinks one has the option of the Alchemy (darker roasted) blend or the single estate du hour, which during my visit was a delicious Kenyan SL28. This place is exceptional.

My husband and I came in today and each got a coffee they were watery and luke warm. It’s a very unwelcoming environment to walk into. Awkwardly quiet no one says hi, I won’t be back. Just another mediocre overpriced coffee shop.

I would avoid this location. Not what one expects from a George Howell. Just looks like your topical local coffee shop. Cup of Colombian pour over $7 for nothing special. The staff ok barely say hi. The pastries didn’t look good. Overall, would I recommend? No.

I always like to support local businesses but in this case I don’t think the local business is fair to their customers. It was my first visit here and based on reviews I decided to give it a try. I got a cappuccino which seems to come only in one size. I paid 6 dollars (including tip) for a small cup of a cappuccino (see the photo to see how small the cup was) and it didn’t even taste anything special. Total rip off. First and last time I am going there.
Recommended dishes: Coffee Cake, Mocha Latte, Banana Walnut Muffin, Guadalupe Miramar Capsules - Qty 4, Cappuccino and an Almond Croissant
