I came to this coffee shop today after my eye doctor appointment, I needed a quick pick me up. I noticed the logo outside and it looked familiar. Later, I came home and found out I had been following their Instagram for a while. So, happy coincidence that I finally made it in here. I also didn't realize how close it was to me.
I choose coffee shops based on photos that showcase beverages that look more traditional. No shade to those who like sweet or drinks or prefer lots of milk in their coffee, you may find something you like here, but I think this would be preferential to a traditional coffee lover.
The barista was very friendly, we had a casual back and forth conversation, no pressure to talk and matched the customer's energy.
I ordered a latte with less milk (or an iced cappuccino), sometimes orders like those make the barista glitch 🤭, but she understood. When I got my drink the cup was only filled about half an inch up from the top and the color was a nice light brown. Even better, the espresso had a bright and nutty flavor, sometimes you can get the drink right but the espresso often tastes disappointing.
All in all, I came in expecting a typical non-dairy milk latte and ended up pleasently surprised. It was definitely the highlight of my day, sounds a bit over the top but it really is the...
Read moreI really needed a coffee this morning after my drive from Arlington. I don’t consider myself an expert on coffee, but I drink coffee quite a bit, enough to know that I love a dirty double chai latte, and this hidden gem did not disappoint. After googling coffee near me, I saw that they had a 5 star rating I realized I had to check it out. It took me a min to find it because it is nested behind the laundromat, but I’m so glad I did find it. The service was excellent and really brightened my morning. The playful energetic vibes the servers brought to my morning got me excited about what seemed was going to be a groggy and other than enjoyable day. (It was muggy and raining outside to set the tune). After placing my order I realized the price was more than fair, normally I’d pay $10-15 for my morning brew, but it was nearly half the price, so I was a little skeptical at first, but after my first sip my tastebuds went off like fireworks, it was one of the best chai latte’s I’ve ever had, and I couldn’t wait share my experience. I will definitely be coming here regularly while I am...
Read moreGot the beekeeper latte, yugen blend matcha with strawberry syrup and a kiwami matcha. Great service, everyone is super nice and informative. Overall, the beekeeper latte was on the sweeter side but not anything remarkable. The matchas were definitely more on the grassy side for me. I didn't get much of the honey forward undertones from the kiwami matcha. The yugen matcha was overpowered by the strawberry syrup which made the overall drink taste slightly better than a regular matcha latte from the kiwami but also you didn't get much of the yugen matcha flavor. I do recommend getting some sort of syrup with your matcha so it doesn't taste as grassy but they do use high quality matcha which I appreciate. The shop is small and gets packed easily. Parking is very hard to find but there are free areas. Nice to try but I wouldn't go out of my way when there are other...
