Just a clean, well-balanced coffee drink. I'd give the coffee itself a solid 4/5. What really stood out though was the customer service. The barista was super helpful in guiding us through the menu, which I always appreciate. That kind of warmth makes a difference! We'd definitely come back when we're in the area. If this review helped, a thumbs up means a lot!

Overall, I was pretty happy with my visit to Laidrey. I decided to try the iced Cherry Cloud Latte…read morefrom their seasonal menu. It was delicious! Super creamy, strong and with a nice kick from the cherry milk. I didn't make any adjustments/substitutions and thought it was perfect. I was disappointed with the service. No one greeted me, not even the barista who took my order. As a former barista, that wouldn't have been okay in the shop I worked in. At least their coffee is delicious. It's pretty spacious inside with a good amount of seating.

This coffee spot is so cute! The only issue is it's accessibility during the week. It's a part of…read moresome office buildings, so this is more of an office coffee spot. That means parking is a pain in the butt. There is a parking lot behind the offices, but Mon-Fri the prices are absurd. If you want to check it out, I would recommend street parking or come during the weekend when the parking lot is free! Actual coffee spot is very clean and well decorated. It's easily a place where you can spend hours if you manage to grab a table. Great place for conversation, hangouts or work. Service is great. Because the store is small, the employees are either pumping out drinks during busy hours or getting creative with their time when it's slow. They seem to enjoy what they do which makes the experience better. Coffee is solid and they have quite an interesting list of combinations available.

The cafe has a lovely, clean interior with chairs and booth seating! The booths offer pillows and…read morecushions to make yourself comfortable, which is perfect for study sessions or a beverage date with your partner or friend. The cashier was super friendly, offered detailed descriptions of the drinks, and can definitely help you decide on your order if you are unsure of what to get. The parking is street parking with a meter, but you can definitely park at a nearby public lot and walk a bit! My reason for deducting a star is because the drinks themselves were a bit bland. We ordered the iced Aurora Latte and the Raspberry Hibiscus Tea. The Aurora Latte had too much milk and I couldn't really taste the coffee itself, and the Raspberry Hibiscus Tea was watered down. I would come back for the ambiance, but not necessarily for the beverages themselves (it's possible that other items on the menu are good and we just got unlucky with our order!).

We ordered the bouquet burrito and chilaquiles. Food came out fairly quickly, and they even package your food in a to-go box in case you have leftovers to take home. The burrito was huge, flavorful and generously filled. The chilaquiles were tasty as well. Overall, we were happy with our quick breakfast bite. There's a communal table along with other indoor seating plus some outdoor seating available too.

Definitely worth a visit! They have more than coffee. They provide a space with a surprisingly…read morelarge menu! First, the obvious. Coffee is solid. It's a great place to hang. They have indoor and outdoor seating options. BUT BEWARE indoor seating gets competitive. Especially on a hot day, you'll often see people moving from seat to seat to get away from the entrance or are waiting for a seat to be freed inside. It's a great place for anything really. I've had hours of conversations, reading and work done here. I've also seen many others do the same. My main con with this place is the parking situation. The parking lot is TINY, so you have to park locally. That's about a 3-5 minute walking distance from the store. I normally wouldn't mind, but it bothers me on hot days. The food is so interesting. They have both healthy and hearty options at a competitive price. It's the classic Chicken & Waffles, Avocado Toast, Bouquet Burrito (a breakfast burrito) and Breakfast Tacos. Someone in the kitchen also likes kimchi and loves mixing it in their food because they also serve Kimchi Breakfast Tacos and Kimchi Grilled Cheese. I don't know how many visits it'll take to fully experience this place, but I think it's worth it.

Flavors I personally tried: Mango Tajin - very unique, so delicious Horchata - tastes just like a cup of horchata! Maple bar - cannot go wrong with this classic

Nice, spacious interior and they also have lounge/couches in the back which is nice. Great vibe to this place and the worker was very nice.

Drink came out pretty quick and had a very pretty coffee color! Sometimes you just immediately know it'll be good just by the color and it was! Super delicious, perfect maple flavor.

They use Onyx (from what i noticed), and the sound of the milk being steamed sounded silky (-: ! The layout of the cafe is nice: entry/line formation moves in a counter clockwise motion. Allows customers to enter space and wait in line while leaving space for people to exit/ wait to pick up their drink. First come, first serve for pastries - expect this for freshness purposes. Drink and their components are measured for consistency and quality control. Wait is subjective in relation to volume at the time which you go. Came in at about 1:30 PM on a Sunday (today was 8/16). Curated menu for their specialty drinks that aligns with their identity. Standard menu for espresso based beverages. Great selection for their Single Origin menu. Roasters they use align with those they highlight on their shelves for retail as a multi-roaster cafe. Ordered a Columbia from Hydrangea - enjoyed thoroughly! When it was still quite hot you get the heavy aroma and flavor of the pastry notes in the coffee. Then more tea-like once it cools down more. Coldbrew in the Woodman did not feel like your typical bold-in-flavor base. Which I think works for the inclusions in the beverage. Not your typical/second wave coffee shop. It's cool to see shops want to bridge that gap between fun drinks and specialty coffee! Kudos to Lynx!

Worst coffee shop experience I've ever had. The customer service was nonexistent, the staff showed…read moreno compassion, and no one was willing to help with a very simple situation. It was 7:58 a.m., and I stopped in to grab my usual coffee before my appointment next door. I accidentally left my wallet at home, my Apple Pay wasn't working, and the only cash I had was a $100 bill. My total was only $8.50. I even offered a simple solution--I asked if another employee could pay for my coffee and I would immediately Zelle them the money. All three employees told me that was "beyond their job duties" and refused to help. Instead, they pointed to the sign stating they don't accept $100 bills and had me leave without making any effort to accommodate a regular customer. The disappointing part isn't that they couldn't break a $100 bill--it's that no one showed even the slightest willingness to help find a solution. I come here almost every Friday because I have appointments at the salon next door, and after this experience, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. A little kindness and customer service go a long way. Unfortunately, I found neither here.
