Got there after 3 and was told they no longer serve food after 3. Also if run hot then I wouldn't recommend it's quite hot inside the shop

Coffee was great, but when you also sell food that is sub-par, the rating is affected. 5 stars for the coffee. 1 star or less for the quiche and muffin. Quiche was all salt. Muffin was zero fruit.

Loved the atmosphere of this coffee shop! I'm not the most avid coffee drinker so I can't say too much about the drinks (I got a free cold brew upon check in which was good, my friend got the drip coffee which was room temperature which wasn't great). The outdoor area is very nice for a date or to relax a with good shading, inside is great for studying, pretty quiet.

Quality of coffee they do in siphon is actually not great. Way over-roasted. Wrong coffee for siphon method. Defeats the purpose. Gimmick.

Came here to do some remote work with a friend. There's a good amount of seating inside but it was quite packed on a Thursday afternoon. We decided to sit at the outside booths. I ordered a rosemel latte and a chicken empanada. The latte was quite sweet and caramel heavy, I did not detect much rose or cardamom flavor. The empanada was alright, the crust was flaky and buttery while the inside was generously stuffed with chicken. It was a nice little snack to keep me satiated. I did like how there was a decent sized parking lot.

Customer line is out the door, get more efficient or more registrars. On a different day no avocado nor yogurts

The blueberry pastry was hard as a stone and tasted old and stale. When I called to let them know they didn’t seem worried or concerned. It’s sad to know that they don’t care and didn’t even offer another pastry or even a refund. Anyways not worth what we paid it went in the trash. The coffee was fine but pastries stay away from it. It’s been weeks and still no refund what a horrible place selling old pastries to customers for high prices.

Terrible customer service from the baristas. Ordered a cortado for here, they put it in a to go cup. I asked them to make a new one in a glass, and the barista refused saying “why should I?” After insisting they finally made a new one, however it was almost entirely milk, no coffee. I just left instead of trying to get what I paid for. Never returning here again.

The customer service from the cashier and barista was disappointing. We ordered two coffees to go, but they weren’t prepared as requested. At the bar, the coffees were served in mugs instead of to-go cups. When we mentioned this to the barista, he appeared annoyed. To make matters worse, when we got home and tried the coffees, we realized they weren’t even the ones we ordered.

Good coffee, bad attitude workers. If their coffee wasn’t so good then I would never come here.

I ordered an Espresso here, it was cold and stale. They did not even bother themselves to serve it in a proper espresso cup or demitasse!
The cashier and the barista were also rude!
I think with tip, I wasted 10 bucks!

I ordered vegetarian tacos with beans and potato and they came out with the thinnest amount of beans and lots of fried potato. Not what I wanted or what the menu made the food seem like. This was an awful breakfast. Additionally, I came here to get some work done and the music was terribly loud inside and out. The only redeeming thing was the wifi speed and friendly staff.

I left my laptop, and I called later in the day to confirm if y'all had it still. Y'all did, and was told you'll put it on the side for me. I did let the person on the phone know that I'll be out of the city and won't be able to be back for a week. I ended up coming 3 days later, and the barista told me "was it that broken laptop?" (The hinge was broken, but purely cosmetic) "It was here forever, we threw that away." You can understand my disappointment after I had told them to hold it for me for a week, and after only 3 days apparently that was "forever" and threw away a laptop that I had for a decade... How sad. Management can't allow random baristas to throw away a laptop because they feel like it.

Ordered the picodillo taco trio, when I got the tacos I notice its missing onions so I asked about it, the lady told me they dont have any onion. They should have mentioned when I placed the order so I can order something else, or they could have mention it at food pick up and ask if they can sub anything for the onion when I went up to pick up the food, instead they didnt say anything not until I asked about it. Also the ground beef in the taco is way too salty.
For that I am disappointed with the food and service. The Mocha was good.

Update : spoke with the manager about it and they offered to get me something else on the house, so I ordered the avocado toast and it was good.
