Clever Blend is such a gem! Brian the barista is always so kind and clearly passionate about what he does, he makes every drink with real care. I got the pumpkin latte with oat milk, and it was amazing, smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. You can really taste the quality of the coffee here. I also ordered a matcha for my friend, and she said itās hands down the best sheās ever had, super creamy and not too sweet. The vibe of the place is relaxed and welcoming. Definitely one of the best coffee spots around!
Very poor coffeeā¦ this is not a specialty coffee venue

The people working there were nice and the pastries looked fine. But the coffee is really badā¦ as if the latte was made with the cheapest ground coffee (think nespresso machine level) mixed with warm milk.
Edit (for the owner): I live in the area. I'm not an expert so I can't explain what's wrong, but it tasted like a standard generic drip coffee with milk, again the place is very nice but it would benefit having a real, solid, good coffee. Also I don't choose Google's Local Guide label, that appears after leaving only a few reviews.

Iāve been going here for ages and decided to give it five stars because I respect that itās a solid neighborhood cafe with its own identity and rules, as well as very good coffee and friendly staff.
Theyāre not trying to be a coworking space and thats their prerogative! They never act unprofessional or unking. The only times Iāve seen them do that is in response to some of the bitter and whiny reviews on here, which honestly makes me like then more!

The drip coffee is good, dark roast, but I keep coming back because the staff is kind, friendly and welcoming. Owners Nadia and Luca are wonderful, and they have a treasure in their barista Ariceli. She asks and remembers customer names! The newer barista Ariana is wonderful as well. Just the most welcoming, friendly place you can imagine.

Stopped in because my little guy wanted some ice cream. I used my card to pay and did not enter a tip amount because I was going to put cash in the tip jar. An elderly man when I was checking out literally started yelling at me, āNo tip, Whereās the tip?ā Extremely rude. I put $2. in the tip jar did not say thank you or acknowledge. I will not be returning.
Thank you for your reply. I apologize for the miscommunication about the man not being an employee and I have updated my review. I believe you were serving the ice cream and it would have been nice if you had said something while I was getting yelled at. A simple quiet, sorry about that, youāre fine. When I put the $2. in the jar you could have said thank you or even that it wasnāt necessary.
I met a friend at Clever Blend yesterday - it was my first time there (I think it used to be Gorilla Coffee.). The drip coffee was excellent (rich flavor with no bitterness) and the pastry was fine (chocolate croissant) ... the prices were good as well. I'll keep this cafe on my short list.

It's a nice little place, but the coffee is just above passable, and the service is just as bad. It would be tolerable for convinience but it's also expensive.
They dont seem to want to make coffee to order. Like I ask for a specific order, and it's not that.
