I’ve been here several times and enjoy it, but my mobile order experience today was frustrating. The app said my order would be ready in 16 minutes. When I arrived, I walked up to the counter and let them know my name and that I had placed a mobile. The barista let me know they were working on it. A few moments later I saw an iced drink and oatmeal bar placed out — the bar had my name on it, so I assumed the drink was mine too.

The baristas were chatting and I didn’t want to interrupt so I grabbed the two preordered items. Then a staff member told me it wasn’t my drink. I apologized and returned it (I hadn’t sipped it, but I had placed a straw in). She threw it out and then turned to her coworker and said, “Can you get started on the mobile order”. I had ordered ahead specifically to avoid waiting — and they hadn’t even started it yet.

Feedback: if there's a delay, just let the customer know. Maybe call out the customers name whose order is ready or give a time estimate on mobile orders? Everyone deserves to be treated respectfully, even if a...

Got a macadamia nut iced latte with oat milk. They do charge extra for oat milk but I think it’s worth it in this latte. Brings a good balance of flavors. Macadamia nut usually isn’t a strong flavor but this one has a pretty good macadamia nut flavor. Probably would be stronger with regular milk.

The staff seemed friendly and welcoming.

The atmosphere had a good feel overall. Feels like it’s trying to be a cafe lounge where you can hang out, slightly classy but you don’t feel underdressed when you walk in. Overall...
