I’ve been going here for ages and decided to give it five stars because I respect that it’s a solid neighborhood cafe with its own identity and rules, as well as very good coffee and friendly staff.

They’re not trying to be a coworking space and thats their prerogative! They never act unprofessional or unking. The only times I’ve 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.
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.
