Excellent for having a coffee ?

Andrew Gibbs

I enjoyed a most excellent cortado, which even came with a little card with information about the beans used to make it. This place has mastered the little details that make a coffee experience exceptional.

The drinks are alright here and the overhype convinced me to give it a try. I don’t like Starbucks too much either, but I’ll come here with friends or family but by myself once in a blue moon. The customer service is always different when I come here. I either get rude or chill baristas.

Solid spot. Small. Intimate. Came during the holidays and the vibe was for sure people catching up with others.

Everyone hyped this place up but when I’ve tried it it’s been disappointing. The service and attitude up front is rude and demeaning. It seems like they even took pride in it based off the “rude baristas” joke up on their window “newspaper” once. Their coffee tasted burnt and the parking is very inconvenient. When I did do work there the attitude and vibe was judgmental and rude. Would not go again. Before the owner comes and comments, I’ve gone a few times with other friends and it’s always the same attitude and dismissal from the people up front.Parking: Small parking lot. The rental place across the street is aggressive about their spots.

I only tried one drink, matcha fizz. I came in and put in the order, the name looked interesting. I saw the employee open up a sprite and drop it in my cup? I had NO idea it had a sprite or something. I thought maybe like carbonated water or something.It was pretty bad, I did not like the taste. I might go there again, it looked cute or something. Maybe i got the wrong drink

This place is still such a great coffee shop! I love what they have done with the decor. There is more seating, new coffee options, and food! Love this coffee shop. Hope you guys will expand to Edinburg! ??Previous review from 2018: Excellent experience! The staff is so kind and informative! The coffee is AHH-MAZING! Its tasty and pretty! Cant rememeber the name of the one with rose petals and sage, but it was sweet and delicious! Also, tried the pina madre ? definitely a fan of this unusual combo! It really taste so good! We will for sure be back!

Love the place to talk or do homework. The barista is super nice, gives recommendations, and doesn’t mind explaining. Pastries are so cute too.

Had an appointment nearby yesterday and searched for coffee shops near me. Took me awhile to realize it was right next door to the car rental place. I can confidently describe this as quite literally a “hidden” gem of a coffee shop. Tried the honey lavender latte and it was fabulous! Love it when a barista doesn’t overly sweeten a drink. Everything was in just the right proportions including the in-house prepared syrup added—yum! Appreciated hearing a bit from the barista about how the coffee shop operates, coffee bean sourcing, roasting info, etc.—very informative, and friendly customer service!

An awesome local coffee shop with very talented baristas and a welcoming atmosphere! Highly recommend the Miso Shakerato. It might sound strange, but trust me, you are unlikely to find anything like it in the local area!
