The Guatemalan is ok, you can pretty much find Guatemalan coffee anywhere in the Valley though. I haven't tried the sugary coffee drinks yet or the pastries, but I will have to at some point. The inside is cozy, good for grab -n-go. I'm sure once they get to expand to a bigger space, they will make it suitable for work or study. Service is great, smiles all around. Oh, and it's right next to Hansen Dam.

Inicio Coffee review: Parking is small and limited, but due…read moreto most people coming and going, a spot opens up somewhat quickly. Wait times when things got a bit busy, grew longer. I came when it was not busy and got my drink in under two minutes. However, the person sitting next to me (with the cutest doggie! They're dog friendly, I think ) waited longer than 10 minutes for her drink. However, this was during a rush and when it was probably the busiest in the morning (?) AMBIANCE AND ENVIRONMENT: The music volume was pretty good. It was low level when the place got busy due to people chatting, machines, ice scooping etc., but when it wasn't so busy, the level was about medium due to the atmosphere being more quiet. The vibes were Mumford and sons, Oasis, Of Monsters and Men, the Head and the Heart, and some classical sprinkled here and there. It is smaller than a chain, but cozy with quite a few seats and table options. I think they did a great job at making the best of the space. The space also encourages community as half of the seating options are shared/shareable. All within an arms reach, which in my personal opinion, is plenty of space. Because of this, it encourages you to acknowledge your fellow human being sitting across, or beside you. The environment was clean, bright, and comfortable. The environment feedback I woukd give is perhaps a stronger sun shade in the windows that the bar and stools face. I first sat here but within minutes decide to move because the heat was a bit too much for me. Again! A personal preference. Coffee shops can also naturally get warm due to the energy being used for the machines and refrigerators, so something to consider. The air-conditioning kicked in a little later which helped make it more comfortable. Another thing I noticed is the outlet near the corner table and lounge chairs has a an outlet extender plugged into the wall outlet, but the wall outlet is extremely loose with no faceplate. This can cause electric shock, wiring damage and possible fires. I know from personal experience. It's a real easy and cheap fix that I highlyyy recommend they do ASAP. Just trying to be helpful because I really, really like this spot. FOOD AND DRINKS: I ordered a Hibiscus Berry Blend, as is, iced. It was $5.00 even. It is served in a14 Oz. cup. With ice, it's probably about 12-13 Oz. of drink you're getting. I think it was worth it. The flavor was equal and very nice. Not too fruity, not too watery. It wasn't sweet, due to me not asking for any additional sweetener. As I sat and worked, I heard a lot of other orders and some were very creative. So they do have all those fun drinks people love to indulge in occasionally. They also have classic drip coffee and loose leaf tea. THE REASON WHY I TRIED INICIO: The biggest thing I noticed, being an activist myself involved in many efforts for social justice through my work and personal life, was their mission to erase modern day slavery. Human trafficking is a horrible thing that unfortunately is haooening right before out very eyes. They donate a portion of all food, drink, and catering sales to Justice 180. That is honestly, the reason why I came. I would love to partner with them and invite them to come cater at my center. I plan to spread the word about this place and continue to support them.

When we arrived, there were people working on their laptops with a few tables still available. They also have a quieter room in the back with long tables. I grabbed a table while my sister ordered at the register. I ordered an iced matcha latte with honey and it was really good! Once our order was ready, the staff brought our drinks to the table. If you need to charge your laptop, the outlets are located by the counter seating. They also have a restroom which was spacious and clean. Overall, it's a great spot to get work done with good drink and food options!

First impressions, place is bright, clean, and staff is friendly and on top of things. Wasn't sure…read morewhat to expect here, as I usually see a line out the door to this place sometimes. The place is pretty bare bones when it comes to decor, I'm talking only 1 small framed poster in the corner of the restaurant and the large shared wall has nothing on it. Food, I ordered the matcha pistachio latte. It came out quick, they have about 3 baristas working the coffee while they have one cashier. My drink looked great and tastes fantastic, I am a big fan of matcha and pistachio so this was nice. The drink is surprisingly THICK, so I have to take my time with it. It's very heavily matcha flavored with bits of crumbled pistachio on top of it. It's very good, however the only thing I'd have to warn about is that this drink, which is about the size of a Starbucks iced grande, cost $8.50. So it's a bit pricy for a standard drink, but it's the most expensive one on their menu (I believe). They have standard coffee, lattes, etc plus pastries that they can warm up as well. Overall it's nice, definitely a place to check out and try

The staff here is always polite, helpful. Ambiance is unique as the coffee is made in a train car. But wow, they really care about the menu and the flavor and quality of their drinks. I love supporting Christian businesses, seeing Isaiah 41:10 (10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.) was such a great reminder. If you need a reminder, God is for you! Thanks San Fernando Coffee for having such a great business I just love seeing your new locations pop up as you expand. Praying the Lord blesses each location and the people who walk through your doors as well.

Nothing has changed, in fact I think the pastries are better if that's even possible. The kouign amann is spectacular, both the plain and apple topped. Just like you'll find in Rennes. The laminated dough is classically prepared. The caramelized sugar encases the bottom of the pastry like a thin sheet of sweet glass. It's firm, not syrupy and not sticky. The guava and cheese danishes are also memorable. Their classic croissant and baguettes are like those found in Paris. They have a large interesting selection of baked goods. They also have very good coffee. I ordered and paid on line a day ahead and picked it up early the next morning. If you want to make sure of availability arrive around 7 am or order ahead. The staff are well informed and kind. Just a few tables with chairs are availabe.

The arugula egg and bacon breakfast sandwich. The turkey Sammich on a pretzel bun, basically everything here is delicious. I'm not a huge fan of the mocha is my only gripe here but the butterscotch latte is fine for the sweet tooth. If you have dairy concerns, they got all plenty of alternative options. The espresso is proper, the workers are kind, the interior is clean and not cluttered. The prices are fair and the pastries are delicious. This is a great cafe to go have a casual lunch or breakfast at and it will hit all the marks to satisfy one's soul. Thanks for existing near me, I wish it was open later but it's understandable why coffee places don't stay open for dinner. Call ahead or use the website to order if you're in a hurry, they have a pickup window for that! Also you get cash app points here too!
