With the opening, I can definitely see why they’re so busy and unfortunately did not have too many options in terms of ice coffee to try however, I was lucky enough to stop in during the earlier soft opening and try some other ones. I got their panela latte and pan de bon. Excited to come back when it’s a little less busy and spend some time.“
