We got really lucky with the timing of our vacation and the opening of this coffee shop. I'm a coffee nerd and I traveled without my gear this trip (French press, grinder, fresh coffee beans, etc.) so I thought I was destined to drink the blackened charcoal bitter mess of Starbuck's coffee. I was not looking forward to Starbuck's but it's better than drinking old pre-ground coffee from the dirty coffee maker in the AirBnB.

So off we headed toward Starbucks until I saw this place on the way. We stopped here instead (and you have to be careful, Google directions had the shop located in the adjacent gym but it's east of the gym in the row of shops). Man I'm glad we did.

This coffee shop is great. High-end equipment. They have sourced their beans from a local roaster. The owner and staff know their stuff: I geeked out with the owner for a good 10 minutes while they were making our order.

Most importantly the coffee was great. I got a cappuccino and my wife got a chocolate latte. We've gone back every morning to this place the entire week we were here (we are early risers compared to the rest of...

Coffee is decent. The owner has completely lost touch with his customers requiring ordering on a touch screen while the barista stands begins it. A conversation with the employee indicates that the tablet has virtually made him irrelevant and he is not wrong. He suggested that I contact the owner about it but could not provide me contact info but told me I could walk down to the gym and get a card there because he owns that as well. That is not worth the effort. I am positive if the customer service approach changed he would have a full coffee bar and not just one lonely guy sitting there. The pastries in the case looked good but considering the traffic through there these were NOT going to be fresh. Not worth your trip there, even if the coffee is good. Find something better.

Update: I have read a number of the other reviews and it appears the same complaints have been reported before. The ownership is deft to the reviews and clearly does not care. Do better or get out of the business. This could be a gem instead is it on the same level as a coin-op...
