Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the inventive, sweet-leaning lattes and cold brews, with the "Butter Me Up" cold brew named by several and a "banana pancake" coffee described as not too sweet and very creamy. A Marry Me Mel latte and a pecan latte also draw praise. Close behind are the empanadas, including chorizo and cheese, spinach and cheese with a green dipping sauce, and mac n cheese, along with a pesto breakfast sandwich described as perfectly toasted. Several mention a friendly owner and baristas, a good vibe, and a DJ who plays in the shop regularly, plus enough seating for working solo or meeting in a group. The main complaints are about cost and one drink: one reviewer found an 8 oz latte priced steeply compared with nearby coffee shops, and another said a partner's smoothie arrived not cold. One reviewer suggests an extra espresso shot, and another notes donuts are best caught early, while a reviewer who asked for the honey bear shaped cups got their coffee in one.

    “Loved this coffee shop! The chorizo and cheese empanada were delicious, especially with the sauce on the side. Breakfast sandwich with pesto was perfectly toasted and toppings balanced nicely. I tried the “banana pancake” coffee, which was not too sweet and very creamy! My friend tried the “butter me up”, which was delicious. I would recommend getting an extra shot of espresso with the drinks!”
