This is just my personal experience and it may not fit to everyone, so please just be mindful and be friendly with the employees and the owner. It's not their fault.
I went to this Cafe and I checked it through, I'd heard about it for about a year or more. I think if it rings a bell correctly in my mind... This place has a nice atmosphere and the interior setting is absolutely stunning and lovely. I am thoroughly impressed with the way that the owners decided to decorate the store, and I appreciate the high contrast menus with the yellow that matches the logo.
The one thing that kind of gets me though is the price of everything inside of this location is quite high. I'm not really sure if that has to do with the design of the storefront and the pay for the employees, so again no slight on them, but that's kind of a little bit out of my budget.
I was expecting that this location would have been a little bit more diverse in coffee options, but the flavors were rather generic. And the taste of the flavors wasn't that great. As someone who frequents over it at a different coffee shop that is not a big name brand, this ended up just not being it for me.
It is nice though that they do seem to have some alcoholic beverage options, so it does fit the bill for some people who like to go out and drink a little bit of wine at a cafe. That was a definite, nice and neat touch. However, for someone who generally can't drink too many dairy products and for the amount of coffee products that they had available versus the pastry mix, it was enticing but again out of my price range.
If I ever do come back, I'll have to definitely check out their plates and try some of their food, but if I remember correctly, the prices were up in the $17 range for a plate of food so that's something to consider. For reference, I got a London fog from here, and it didn't really have too much flavor to it. I'm not sure if that's the tea brand, or not but I did add a strawberry syrup to it and I wasn't big on the strawberry flavor. It didn't hit the expectation. I was hoping that it would. I typically get a London fog with banana flavor from a different location, so it was also kind of out of my norm but there are a variety of strawberry flavors, that one just wasn't 'it' for me.
Bonus: They have a lot to deal with considering that they're directly behind the train tracks or at least the train tracks are directly behind them. Depending on which perspective you're looking at it, and you would think that would be super loud, but it actually was not. You could barely hear the train roll by so they did some soundproofing. That is phenomenal! You could kind of hear the...
Read moreREVIEW UPDATE: Went back and saw new cold brew items like the Dubai Chocolate Coldbrew a s a Strawberry Horchata one. I ordered the Dubai (it was a tough choice) and the drink included cold foam with chocolate and pistachio. It wasn’t overly sweet. Employees continue to be pleasant and welcoming.
This place is a MUST try! And is one of my new fav experiences.
Why?
For the coffee aficionados out there, this is one of this few places were the straight espresso shot is pretty rich instead of burnt like most places.
They have UNIQUE coffee drinks like a piñacolada and mojito latte, and more; as well as the standard options.
Kind employees that will breakdown the details of the array of drinks.
The space is really cool! Worth hanging and enjoying your coffee.
For those of the vegan and/or gluten free persuasion, all their donuts and cookies fall into 1of those dietary categories.
Whenever I get a chance to return I’m excited to try a different latte option.
Hot Tip: 6mins away the Gordon YMCA is one of the nicest gym I’ve ever seen and their pool is massive and has a medium sized lazy river.
11mins away is Wildwood park which is a really neat nature spot with some playground, a mini stream of water, and picnic area nestled in...
Read moreThis is a cool spot that serves coffee with premium spirits, such as Tetos Vodka, traditional coffee, food and there’s space to hangout alone, as a 2 person or a party of maybe 8. Simply a wonderful use of space. My wife and I ordered a Bourbon Alive, which does have bourbon in it and I had the WAKE UP CALL in a bowl, and the wife had the AVOCADO TOAST served on rustic bread. I’m not gonna complicate anything and just say that the food was Amazing. All ages are welcomed in the coffee house, but there is a rail that mentioned that anyone under 21 is not allowed, so there you have it. There’s a drive through order window on the back side of the building, but you wouldn’t realize it from the inside. I can’t leave out that there’s a train track behind the restaurant, so if your lucky, you can catch it passing by, super cool! For those wondering about the COVID protocols, one employee wore hers the entire time and the other wore it as if it bothered her. Not complaining, just FYI. As far as the crowd, we arrived around 0830 and it was empty and around 0900, there was 2 families with small babies and another single customer. I would recommend this restaurant and will return in the...
