Very pretty cafe, decent prices. Not super engaged batistas and bitter espresso. Not much better than Starbucks quality brews. Decent spot for the area. If I was parked nearby and wanted coffee I wouldn't avoid this place.

This was a great little cafe stop for breakfast. The coffee was delicious and the potato breakfast burrito was soooo good (and kept me full for hooooours). The muffin I had wasn't as good, but the welcoming atmosphere made up for it.

Every bit as good as the original in the Strip! It was nice to see one of my CMU baristas. Ask for latte art!

The strip district location has more friendly staff and maybe it’s just because they are more customer service geared that I preferred my lattes there.. but wow is this location something. It’s close to my office and I figured I would go here instead of my usual starbucks in liberty center. The clerk who took my order just had a rather blank face with almost no facial expressions or showing any emotions (which again, not the end of the world but also not the most welcoming either). I ordered, tipped 20%, and waited 10 minutes for my latte. When I heard the drink called, I went to get it and I started to put the lid on it. The female barista (she didn’t make the or my drink) immediately came up and said “this isn’t your drink, yours is at the end” gesturing to the last cup in the line of drinks to be made and then proceeded to take the drink out of my hand. Wild behavior on her part I thought, especially when it was an honest mistake. I didn’t know the customer who had been there before me had also gotten the exact same type of latte as me (because again, I wasn’t even in the cafe at the time that customer ordered) and then they don’t write the names of the customers down so literally… how was I supposed to know it wasn’t mine? Only reason for the two stars is for the actual barista who made my drink; he was chill. But whoever the lady was, hope you find happiness or maybe a different job that doesn’t involve customer service.

I came here to say one thing: AC hotel breakfast sucks! Go here! Don't think twice! Also the coffee is amazing and they open early.
