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.

I enjoyed the flavors here of the coffee, but the food was mwah! I loved the grilled cheese with chorizo. My daughter enjoyed her waffle with nutella.

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.

The person that took my order was very friendly and asked how long it would take me to arrive. I opted to pick up via drive thru so I didn't get to see the inside. The drive thru wait was minimal as there was a car in front of me. Unfortunately, the smoothies weren't the best. The flavor was lackluster and could barely taste any avocado flavor. The texture was more icy than creamy. The sweetness level was also below average. It also seems like they use ice/water? I didn't get any of the creaminess that I expected. It was quite disappointing so my quest for avocado smoothies continues.

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.

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.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. I ordered a lavender latte with oat milk, and it was flavorful but not overly sweet. The food menu is small, with a few baked goods available. As a vegan, the only option I found was instant oatmeal with a selection of dried fruit and nuts to mix in. While I appreciated having a vegan option, I would love to see a few more plant-based choices added to the menu. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely return for the coffee and the comfortable space to meet with friends.

The girl working was nice, she was patient with us. She was doing everything on her own. The pastries were bombbb. Very fresh and soft. The drinks were tasty and we also got a coffee frappe and it was pretty strong I was surprised it wasn't sugary. I think the only uncomfortable experience was her mom came and they were just talking out loud with me and my mom sitting there. I get it though since it was very dead and mom and daughter love. Overall, nice little cafe.

My wife and I were craving a pastry and decided to stop by. The place has a lot of natural light, a…read morewelcoming environment. All of the pastries looked delicious as there were many to choose from. We decided to go with a guava pastry and another that the lady behind the counter said the inside was a brownie, so we decided to go with that. Guava pastry was delicious, although when we got to the "brownie" pastry there was no brownie. The lady did mention she was new, although the pastry we ended up with was mainly peanut butter, big difference. I know what it's like to be new, but it's always best to ask for help when in doubt. I did ask if there was a pricing menu for all of the pastries, I prefer to have a heads up of pricing before ordering and the lady said they didn't have one. Guava pastry was delicious, it would be nice to know what the pricing is since there is a lot to choose from.

As a bonus, they even have live music on select nights, which makes the experience even more enjoyable!

When I asked for a house made syrup he was gracious enough to share their chai syrup that actually paired perfectly with my flat white (it wasn't on the menu but Jorge was so kind to make me one). Jorge! you need to add this to your menu because it was really good!!! My daughter ordered the Dulce de Leche and she said that it was good too.

On my visit I tried the Filthy Chai and the Almond Toffee Latte, and both were delicious. The Filthy Chai had a nice balance of espresso and spice, while the Almond Toffee Latte was rich and flavorful without being overly sweet. I also ordered the almond croissant, which was wonderfully flaky and buttery with just the right amount of almond flavor. It paired well with the coffee and made for a great treat. The real star of the visit, though, was a drink I wasn't even planning to order. The barista offered me a taste of their Vanilla Cream, and it was incredible. It tasted just like flan, smooth, creamy, and sweet! After one sip, I couldn't stop thinking about it. It's the kind of drink that keeps you coming back, and was pleasantly surprised to learn that it was lactose free!
