The staff is incredibly friendly, the menu feels refined without being overcomplicated, and I already know what I'm ordering when I walk through the door: the Gemini Latte. It's my go-to and always the drink I recommend to someone visiting for the first time. There's something really special about a café that feels like it genuinely belongs to its neighborhood, and Curran absolutely does. Get the Gemini.

So refreshing and light, not too sweet either. The lemon poppyseed scone was also delicious. Employees were all incredibly friendly and service was very fast. I saw them mixing up fresh matcha for each order which is always a good sign, and they served "for here" items on actual dish ware and in glasses which is great. This location is small but is very cute and cozy. Nice and calm vibes inside with big windows and natural light. The tables aren't really designed for you to sit for a long time, they're small and not very cushy. It's a great spot to grab a to go coffee or just stop for a brief break while around the area. I will definitely be back to actually get the coffee this time. But if you're there for tea or matcha, it's a hit!

They have a monthly rotating menu of four limited drinks for their drink flights. For the month of February the four drinks were: - Lots of Love Lotus -- pink lotus with rose and lavender syrup, topped with lavender cold foam. - Eternal Flame Latte -- espresso with sweet heat syrup and brown sugar cinnamon, finished with a honey and red sugar rim. - Sweetheart Sip Matcha -- iced matcha with cherry and almond syrup, topped with a maraschino cherry. - Perfect Pair Latte -- espresso with dark chocolate, white chocolate, and strawberry, topped with whipped cream and strawberry drizzle. The drinks were all great. In addition to the drink flight, we ordered a chocolate vegan muffin and a Danish to snack on. The space is wonderful. It is a fairly large space that could be used to study, work, or even socialize in. The service is also excellent. The staff are friendly and delivered our drink flight right to us!

It was good to have this shop during my conference, which took place at the university, especially in between different sessions. Diversions Cafe primarily serves the students here - and I was impressed that they serve Caffe Vita coffee, which is my favorite coffee. When the coffee is this good, a drip coffee is all you need, which I drank a ton of during my conference. But they have a full coffee and espresso menu and they also have Lotus Elixir energy drinks here. The pastries are few, but there's something if you need to nibble. I like that there's plenty of space if you want to hang out with your coffee, which I imagine is perfect if you're a student. It's centrally located on campus too and opens early. I was glad to have this caffeinated option on campus during my time here.

The staff there was very delightful and nice, never rushed us, not crowded, and it was even during rush hour time too. I was kind of scared I was about to have a panic attack since usually that's the time I get overstimulated with the kids getting out of school and all the cars driving around like it's the horse races! But no! I am very pleased where they built the coffee restaurant where you don't stand out amongst the crowds, and when you leave, you're able to just leave kind of towards the back away from the chaos. 5 stars!! Everybody grab yourself some strong coffee there!!! You song regret it!!
