Truly do not understand why people rave about their matcha and coffee; the matcha is milky and not strong whatsoever and their coffee is extremely sour and acidic. Unless that's your preference, I don't recommend.

Had my first single origin pourover (Ethiopian). The flavour is wonderfully bright, fruity, and left a clean aftertaste. I drank it black to fully enjoy the flavour of the beans.
Although the matcha latte could have been hotter and smoother in texture, I enjoyed the complex latte art, especially in a takeaway cup.
Service is warm and incredibly professional!

This would be a nicer location with a few hours of cleaning up the exterior of the store front
First time here, and I wouldn't go back. As other reviews have said, the iced matcha latte I order was VERY grainy. The powder wasn't whisked well, and then a strainer was used! You're throwing away a lot of product this way and it doesn't work - the clumps were still there. The above, on top of it being tiny. I paid $10 for this. The picture attached is after I stirried it ferociously.

Our coffees were excellent. They had a nice selection of coffee beans to choose from. We ordered a cold brew & a pour over. The cold brew was well-balanced and delicious. The vibe is minimalist. I just wished they had better seating, or at least cushions, to make it more comfortable.

Honestly, I was thoroughly disappointed when I came yesterday. I love coming to the store and is always ordering the iced matcha latte. Compared to Elephant Grind or Alchemy, the Library always does it SOO MUCH better. But yesterday, when I ordered the matcha latte it came out soooo grainy. I had to spit out so many clumps of matcha powder that wasnt incorporated properly. Usually they also pour the matcha into the milk into a nice gradient, but yesterday the milk and matcha was already incorporated. I’m saying that the gradient was the most important part, but, the presentation and the clumps of matcha was not enjoyable as they seemed to be rushing when they were making it. Even though there was no one in the store.

The review is based on the overall experience, not just the coffee. It's a nice spot to go to if you're looking to get a coffee to go, but the appeal for me when it comes to going to speciality coffee places is being able to sit down and enjoy a fresh coffee. It's hard to do that at this location. The cappuccino is nice but nothing special compared to others I've had
