Always searching for the best espresso when I travel, Covenant Coffee landed on my list…read more I love that Covenant Coffee is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and employing current and former foster youth. With every purchase you are giving a youth a chance at a new future. How cool is that! Coffee for a good cause. I loved the space and the coffee and took home a bag of beans from Brazil. The Americano was hot and delicious, and the service was amazing. I loved they have foster youth working in the store. Go, and tip heavily. It's a great coffee spot.

I was there today (9/4/26) from 8:30-9:30am. There were two female baristas and one guy who seemed…read moreto be a manager working with the Covenant Coffee non-profit from his talking about working with foster youth and hiring decisions with the two employees. He had a tattoo near the corner of his eye and was wearing a jersey. It really disturbed me about how he seemed to be harassing the baristas. He told one of them "your tummy is sticking out again," when she said "it's because I just ate," he said "no it's always sticking out." He them proceeded to complain to them about another employee who "decided to get knocked up right when things were getting busy," and said some other things about maternity leave. The most apalling thing was he then asked the barista "if you're pregnant and found out your son was gonna be retarded, would you do the un-Catholic thing?" She tried to brush him off by saying "it would be too late," to which he made a joke about using a "coat hanger." Truly the most apalling thing I've ever witnessed at any establishment. I never leave reviews at all, but I had to report this because it seems like this guy involved with management is bullying and harassing the employees. And this non-profit works with foster youth?! Edit: Thanks Randy for the follow up message, I really appreciate it and agree everyone deserves a chance to learn and grow from mistakes. I'll still be grabbing coffee at Covenant whenever I'm in town. Thanks again for the follow up, I really appreciate it.

On a long road trip from NorCal to Vegas and was concerned about where to find good tea places…read morealong the way. Found Presotea in Bakersfield and it was surprisingly good because the tea is freshly made every time. They're also on Snackpass for rewards points and online ordering. We stopped here on the way and also on the way back since it was so good. There's a great 3 for 2 deal which was perfect for our group of 3. For the free 3rd drink you can only get the Champagne Milk Tea but that's a very good one. Osmanthus Oolong was good, and the Jasmine was solid.

What I like the most about this place is you can adjust the sweetness of their drinks. I went with a 30% and my daughter adjusted hers to 50%. There are so many different variations to an already huge menu, that I will continue to come and try them all.

It's pretty big overall and I just love that for the area. Got a cold brew, a short bread cookie matcha latte and a brown butter chocolate chip cookie. All were pretty great. The cookie was the best. I haven't had such a soft cookie given to me at an establishment in a long while. It was a great surprise. The latte was well balanced. Wasn't too sweet and I could taste everything they said was in it. Liked it quite a bit. Fiancé liked his cold brew as well, he was glad he got a large. Service was great! Everyone was nice and answered all our questions. Will try and come here more often!

Been coming here for years now and the Adeni Tea is hands down my favorite drink in town. I was…read morealready a milk tea kinda girlie in the boba universe, but this was the first beverage of theirs that I tried and it scratched a certain itch I'd been unconsciously craving. Something old-world maybe? Like a flavor that's existed for centuries and been passed down through time and so so many generations... and it's now landed in our corner of the world that's just a few blocks away? Globalization and the world within, for f' sakes! This place is truly brilliant. More recently, I'm only in town a few days out of the week, but I make a point to visit this location or their other location, Mokhamena on Panama, each day I'm here to, at a minimum, pick up two for myself--the first one is to function and the second is to savor. There was a time I'd pick up the party-size for my coworkers when I liked them... but alas, times have changed so more for me. The staff there are always friendly and awesome, and on days that I'm lucky enough, I get to actually enjoy the cafe. So grateful you guys are here and sharing flavors from across the world.

Stopped by Smitten Cafe in Grand Island with my grandmother for a quick coffee after visiting the…read morefarmers market, and we were so pleased to see their fall menu was out! We each tried one of the daily coffee specials, a hot maple latte and a slice of their pistachio bread. What a perfect combination for a relaxing morning. The maple latte was truly comfort in a cup, warm, cozy, and full of fall flavor. The pistachio bread had just the right amount of sweetness and hit all the right spots. The service was excellent, quick, friendly, and always with a smile. Even though the line cue can look long, it never really feels that way because the staff keeps everything moving so efficiently. We were served in no time A major plus for me is that this location is right down the street from my home, making it so easy to pop in whenever I'm craving a good, tasty treat. It's the perfect neighborhood spot for a quick coffee, something sweet, and a little moment to relax. We left happy and already looking forward to coming back to try more from the fall menu!

Smitten is my go-to spot for a quick bite or a delicious cocktail! My top favorites are the Sweet…read moreWaffles (they come with matcha whipped cream--definitely ask for extra!), the Mushroom Fettuccine Pasta, and the Smitten Burger. While Smitten is technically known as a coffee shop, I personally think their cocktails steal the show. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a casual date. Staff is friendly and attentive. As a bonus, they even have live music on select nights, which makes the experience even more enjoyable!

5* coffee .5* for the food…read morefound this place by total accident. I was in town for a wrestling tournament and decided to walk to the arena from my hotel. As I was walking I saw the sign for this place and was happy I did because my other coffee options were a fast food restaurant or the famous coffee chain. It was a bit confusing to locate. It was tucked away in the back of a commercial office space type building. Once inside the place was very clean and organized. Very minimalist design. I was only one of 4 total people inside. My order was taken quickly. I ordered an iced americano with a ham and cheese turnover. Coffee was on point. No notes. No complaints. The pastry however was not good. They asked me if I wanted it heated up. I said I did. I saw her put it in the microwave, and I assumed they turned it on. When I bit into it (I had already left and walked across the street) it was cold. Like cold cold. On top of that it was flavorless which made it worse. Stick to the coffee or make sure you check the temp of the food prior to leaving.

I've heard of Beanies but I've never stopped by until today. It's tucked away in a little plaza, so…read moreit has a pretty quiet atmosphere. The cafe is very clean and has lots of seats both indoors and outdoors. I was torn between trying their strawberry matcha or their banana matcha. The barista suggested the banana matcha since it's seasonal. It tastes a lot like banana bread and milk. I wish the matcha flavor was stronger though.

Stopped here randomly on a drive going up north…read more We ordered drinks as well as breakfast and we're surprised with how good everything was. We got a griller, grilled cheese, herbal tea and a cappuccino. The menu is great so much variety. You get your standard coffee you can get anywhere as well as specialty drinks which blows Starbucks out of the water. No competition. Service was good, customer service is exactly what you want. Very friendly baristas absolutely no complaints here. The vibe is really cool, I enjoyed the decor, there's a bunch of parking all around and plenty of seating for people as well. It is outside but it's covered. Would I be back, well if I'm on the road again sure why not. I much rather support a small unique business like this over a large corporation.

Customer service was great, the drinks were delicious and pricey nicely compared to big competitors. We got a strawberry breeze, a lumberjack a caramel latte and vanilla one both iced. They all were so good!! Definitely recommended if in the area. We also prefer to try every coffee shop we see esp those not big name brands and this one is top 3 for sure! Delicious and not too sweet to where you can still taste the good coffee. Will def be back if in area again.

The space itself is pretty small with very limited seating; I've been several times and my go to order is the Vanilla dream protein smoothie it's smooth, filling and doesn't have the chalky protein taste. The banana match is another favorite. Drinks typically range from about $7-11. I've also purchased protein powder and their magnesium complex here. The supplements are on the pricer side. The staff has always been welcoming and friendly. Overall, if you're into protein coffee, matcha, or wellness products, NOU Bar is definitely worth checking out.
