Was looking forward to supporting a local coffee shop and we were so disappointed. Over $8 for an iced latte and they put it in a White Poly Paper Hot Cup. The coffee flavor was not good.

Everything was alright. Nothing to write home about it. The food did not really taste too fresh to be honest. But the staff work there were very pleasent.

I really liked this place the coffee is great, and their pan de bono is one of the best I’ve had. However, my experience was completely ruined by the owner’s rude attitude. I took a picture of the drinks in the fridge to send to my husband (he’s Colombian and hadn’t heard about this shop), and the owner reacted in an unkind and unnecessary way.

There’s no reason to treat customers like that. I was excited to support a local business, but after that experience, I won’t be coming back.

The best pan de bono I’ve ever had - BUT….
They have ridiculous rules and fees . If you want to sit you need to pay a fee - can’t put your hand on the counter .. The owners and staff are rude and bitter - not friendly at all . For this reason they get a low rating …

Owners are very rude, very disrespectful. Don’t spend your money here, save it and spend it somewhere else.

This is one of the best coffees I've had but wow the owner or manager of this place is so rude and disrespectful I've been a customer here for a while and she actually told me and my friend that we had to leave because we bought coffee to go and sat down for 5 minutes I will never come back as long as that woman is there

This is not a sit-down venue despite having plenty of seating.

My partner and I sat down, ordered drinks and pastries. We both work remotely and planned to spend the day enjoying food and beverages. My partner kept mentioning that the owners were giving us the side-eye, but it was only when the owner finally approached us and asked how long we were planning to stay that we realized the tension.

We told him we worked from home, planned to stay a few more hours, and had just ordered more drinks. However, he mentioned that they had been timing our stay, and we had already been there for 2 hours and 16 minutes. He then told us that after an hour, the rate would be $2.50 per person for every 15 minutes spent sitting after that hour. This was not communicated to us at any point until then. When I mentioned it to him, he pointed to an obscure sign with a lot of text that didn't clearly state there would be a charge for seating. We had to pay $10 for our seats.

I didn't know I had to read a terms and service agreement to sit at a cafe. 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

My review is based mostly on buying a cup or a bag of their Columbian Supremo coffee. First of all, I've tried coffee from many small roasters in towns in several states and many in PA. Baristi's whole bean Columbian Supremo is the best Columbian medium roast coffee I've ever had. However, I don't like the way they make it in the shop. They brew their coffee strong. When I buy it and make it at home, it's delicious. In the shop, it tastes more like a dark roast since they brew it strong, so I have to add more cream and then it gets cold. But the coffee itself is a premium Columbian and the medium roast is spot on. It's a delicious coffee if you brew it at home the way you like it. It's pricey, right now $15.48 a pound, but that's typical for local roasters. And most of the small roasters I've been to have fairly average coffee. This place has excellent Columbian coffee - the best tasting Columbian I've ever had.

The worst experience I have ever had at a coffee shop, I seen this place on Social media and decided to stop in on my way to work to get a coffee and purchase a bag of coffee beans for the Doctor I work for as we enjoy visiting different coffee shops around the area. I walked in at 8:25 am there was one customer at the counter an old men behind the counter and and older women cleaning the tables as I walk in I say Good morning no one replies back to me then I said buenos dias I was totally ignored ok so I proceeded to walk in and look at the coffee bags they had for sale the old men who i'm thinking is the owner said hey how can I help you,I replied back first time here i'm just going to look at the coffee bags.I asked the lady a few questions about the cost of the coffee beans she had no clue of the cost I said ok no problem Ill wait and ask the old men I had my phone in my hands not recording the lady says to me if you are recording is not allowed here is against the law 😂 really lady I walked towards the counter to wait my turn then I decided to walk out after the way I was just treated I'm not going to give you my money. I walked out got in my car and could you believe the old men came out taped on my car window I pulled my window down he's telling me I'm going to get it trouble and to show him my phone and delete pictures of my phone he wants to see me do it in front of him. listen my blood pressure was going up I want it to curse him out but I did not disrespect him in which I should off who the hell he think he is 😂. I drove off and I will never step a foot in that place.

My esperiensa por primera vez fue horrible no le recommindo este sitio a nadie.

Excellent food and impeccable service. I had the Audrey Hepburn (vegetarian) breakfast sandwich. My son enjoyed the Columbia Pandebono sandwich.
