Cafe Latte Da — Restaurant in Sebastian

I would encourage people to try this place, but I felt that no reviews mentioned the quality of the coffee.

The iced latte I got tasted burnt, and was not very flavorful. The matcha latte had many pieces of unmixed matcha curds. They also put the hot latte over ice to make it iced- cooling a hot beverage that way can cause bacteria to grow, it's generally considered not food safe.

The people working were nice, and the shop was eclectic. I would probably give it a second try on case we all happened to just get a not so great cup of coffee

The coffee was just like above but with a more finicky decaf. Didn’t drink it either.

The atmosphere was nice and there were lots of older people having a great conversation. Next time I will get a drip coffee and have...

When I first moved to Sebastian, Florida with my 3-year-old daughter... I was so upset because I couldn't find a "real" coffee shop; just not a Starbucks fan. After a couple of weeks CLD FINALLY showed up on my Google maps. I was thrilled. I was, apparently, one of Lisa's (the owner) first regulars. I described what I wanted, exactly, and my drink was made to perfection. You should ask for my drink, actually. Not sure it's still in the system, as I recently have moved out of town, but before, you could find it as "Keely's Special." If you love an iced white mocha, you need to quit wasting your time elsewhere. Not to mention, the chocolate milk isn't bad, either. 😘 The mission statement does not lie. Come as a guest, leave as a friend.... A very...
