The Life on Marizpan latte was incredible - got it iced and the flavor was amazing! All flavor shots are made in house. Kids had the lemonade - also fresh and in house. Shared a large cheese pizza and devoured! The baked goods looked delicious! I will say - the donuts were sold out when we were there at noon so we will definitely will be back for everything we tried and hopefully donuts next time too!

There were a lot of intriguing options to choose from. I had the chilaquiles ($15) and a Cacio Pepe doughnut ($4). The chilaquiles had corn tortilla chips, salsa Verde, salsa Macha, cotija, white onion, cilantro, and a fried egg. The chips appeared to be homemade, and they were tremendous along with the salsa Verde and Macha. There was a nice kick to the salsas and a perfect crunch from the chips. However, it just felt like the dish was mostly chips. I felt like more toppings could be added or an additional egg. The fried egg was also a little overcooked, guess when ordering, we could have specified how we wanted it to be cooked. The doughnut was okay. The sourdough base was very solid, but essentially just a lot of cheese on top. I was not sure what to expect regarding this type of doughnut, but this was the least optimal choice. Will I go back? I would.

My favorites are the macaroons, the sugar cookies, the brownies and they have a key lime tart that's incredible. Everything I have tried has been wonderful and balanced and fresh. I often order their pastries for the holidays and they are a wild hit with anyone who tries a bite. They offer a lot of catering options for small to large events and the price point isn't terrible at all. I really love their bakery and the owners are wonderful.

No too sweet. The service was fast, and employee at the counter was friendly. I would definitely go back!

I have passed by here many times in the past, today was my first time getting a coffee. The man working here, I'm pretty sure is the owner, as he is the same man pictured on their company's website. He was not at all pleasant, a bit standoffish to be honest. I just got an iced coffee. This coffee was pretty weak in its flavor profile. It might be worthy trying something else from here. Unfortunately my experience was a let down this time.

This is a huge store with a bunch of different rooms/spaces to sit in, including an outdoor patio which was very cute. I did not study here, but it would be a great spot. Lots of seating and outlets. They have monthly seasonal drinks which they post on their Instagram. I decided to get the seasonal purple cow cold brew and it was good. I personally don't love cold brew, but it tasted good, just very light. They also have a bunch of other coffee shop drinks along with food and smoothies. I would definitely come back here if I was in the area! There is also a large parking lot.
