I love my trips to Flow State since it opened in August 2018 whether it be by myself for a quick snack or with the family where my daughter loves to interact with the awesome ladies there. I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't comment on that selection, but they do have a nice tea selection and their pastries are killer. Built into their counter is a case with house-made gelato, not your average coffee shop offering. They have a rotating selection of about 2 dozen pastries ranging from scones to giant muffins to cookies to crullers with one or two special Filipino treats mixed in each day. If you head there in the last hour of the day, they have a baked goods happy hour where everything in the case is half price.
The vibe is nice in there with beautiful wooden floating shelves behind the counter, different sized tables for small, large, and communal seating, and funky lighting throughout. Definitely a spot where you can feel comfortable working from and take advantage of their co-working packages which include a dedicated workspace and coffee/pastries/lunch/gelato depending on the...
Read moreI don't know how these reviews work because most of the photos and other reviews I see are NOT for this location. This review is for the 7162 Ridge Ave location.
Every visit is like flipping a coin - half the time it's great, and the other half it's either closed mid-day, or they are out of half the ingredients, or they are out of supplies. It's like whoever runs it doesn't want to make money. If you're constantly out of something... order more of that thing! Seems so simple. The owners probably wonder why they don't get as many customers as they expect, and it's because it's always so hit-and-miss. Run a dependable business and the people will come. The workers are nice but it's usually under-staffed - last week I waited 34 minutes for my drink, and it wasn't even made to my order. This location has a lot of potential considering its location within a popular Target, it just needs to be...
Read moreWe were lucky enough to get the new Cakesicles! A cleverly delicious creation of earl grey ice cream, apricot, cake, that is dipped in chocolate. The earl grey aroma complements the apricot so well, i never would of thought of this combo, but it works so well! The gelato is made in house, I tried the pandan and its so full of bold coconut and pandan flavor. If u never had pandan, it is a leaf that adds a sweet nutty toasty flavor, commonly used in desserts in asia. But fusing this with italian gelato?!! Another brilliant creation. And lastly, the gelato tea float. So refreshing on a hot day. It was oolong magnolia tea with the pandan gelato on top. Soo tasty. This place deserves the highest complements, u really can taste the effort and planning in each creation. The staff are very welcoming, the environment is cozy and casual, and I like their unique bathroom...
