Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the free coffee ice cubes in the iced coffee, which several say keep the drink from watering down. Close behind is the coffee itself, described as smooth and bold, with Kona beans and a hazelnut hulu mentioned by name, and the friendly, fast counter service. A cinnamon malasada, a parfait muffin and the Monkey Mocha also draw praise, and one regular says the baristas get the drink right every visit. The caveats are real and recurring. Several criticize the breakfast sandwiches, with one calling the bacon, egg and cheddar microwaveable and overpriced, and another finding the espresso flat and cooled by the time it arrived. Others describe staff who seemed uninterested, including one who turned a customer away at 6:03, one reviewer who says staff made fun of a dad asking about the bathroom, and another who says an employee told a customer "this not for you" about an order. Reviewers also note no bathrooms, few outlets and dirty tables, and one calls it more of a to-go stop.

“great place but seems like the staff is there to talk to each other which made it awkward”
- Ryan x Braithwaite
“I have always preferred my coffee black, but it needs to have flavor on its own. I love coffee beans and grounds from Hawaii, especially from Kona. Once I found this place, I am not going anywhere else. The people who work there always display a positive and outgoing attitude that makes your day that much better.”
- Mack Steezy
“For starters I would recommend saving your money on the breakfast sandwiches. The price is overpriced for the portion and is not prep nearly. The coffee is not too bad. Mid. I asked the lady who was taking my order if they had anything with a coconut flavor that was their signature items and she did not respond or suggested anything. Finally, when food was ready it was place on the counter without any notice. A gentleman in front of me was asking if it was bagel and one of those employees just responded to him “this not for you” and walked away.”
- Charissa Gomez
“Andy and Vanessa are the most amazing coffee creators everrrrr. I come here 2-3 times a week and they perfect my drink every time. Overall, all staff I have interacted with are quick and friendly. Thank you for making the start of my work day a lot better.”
- Jason Hernandez
“Coffee was good, but the bacon, egg, and cheddar was a joke. It wasn’t good(microwaveable),and for that price, I could have went across the street to Fry’s to get a pack of Jimmy Deans microwaveable that are better.”
