When it comes to drinks, Confidential Coffee offers a unique selection. Their seasonal drinks my personal favs, but the flexibility to customize milk options is a nice bonus. My only complaint is the Cajeta latte fell short in flavor, lacking the expected taste of cajeta. Despite this minor hiccup, the still give this cafe a standing ovation 👏🏼 for their dedication to fostering community and creating a sense of belonging is commendable.

This end of North Downtown/North Pine, for as long as I've lived here, has had fewer coffee options but that has changed with the addition of this and two other locales. This one has a cool vibe and offers plenty of parking, although I tend to just walk, as it is that close.

I've never had a bad drink here, never had a bad experience, the place is clean, the service is pleasant and friendly and knowledgeable, and it's easy to waste an hour or two. Just chatting and enjoying...
