I ordered an iced white chocolate mocha with almond milk. The coffee was okay but I could not taste the white chocolate, it just tasted like regular iced coffee.

Great coffee shop and seems to be a neighborhood hot spot for WFH!…read more Tons of seating - small tables, a larger community table, and bar seating around the edges of the place. The barista staff was fine - I personally love perky and friendly staff at a coffee shop lol and that wasn't the case here - but they were knowledgeable and helpful. The vanilla oat milk latte was great, chocolate croissant was great (apparently they source their bakery items from publican quality breads!), and my boyfriend especially loved his pour over. He's a pour over aficionado and he was particularly pumped that there were 3 options for pour over!

With that being said, I simply cannot work here. I can't get any work done. If you're a grad student like me, you need to make sure your laptop is fully charged before you come, because they have like zero outlets, and it is always crowded (which means they're doing something right!). 6.5/10 for me.

First visit we got some mid afternoon coffee and enjoyed people watching. I got a decafe latte and it tasted exactly like a regular coffee (I got worried I was drinking an actual coffee). Second visit we got the Mortadella Sandwich and it was the best thing i've ever had. The bread on the sandwich was light and everything was very fresh. Service was quick and polite. I really love the atmosphere here and cant wait to come back!

What I can't get over is the gentleman sitting every day for hours and hours with his dirty bare feet on chairs that customers sit in. You can see his grimy feet and the slippers he leaves on the floor. It's really gross because when I brought my friends for the first time, there were no tables available except for the one he always uses to put his dirty bare feet on. So we had to sit with his smelly feet as our "neighbor" just a couple feet away. If he's homeless, I have a lot of sympathy for him. But he obviously had sandals which he doesn't use when he puts his feet on chairs, and nobody should be putting bare feet on chairs that people sit on in a cafe anyways. If he's a regular, he should know to respect the cafe, the owners, staff, and patrons better. He also takes up that whole half of the long table by the front so that no customers can sit there. And nobody would want to use that chair he has used for his dirty feet anyways. Please inform him politely it's causing a distraction and is a health hazard. There needs to be some standards at cafes for sanitary reasons even if it's not crowded. It's just pretty gross.

I got the Santa Monica and really enjoyed it, very tasty and filling! This is a small place where you walk up to the counter and order of the menu posted on the wall. They've got tea/coffee/refrigerated drinks too. Not too much space to sit but there are a few tables inside and the arepas and drinks came out steaming hot and pretty quick! I went with a group of 6 and they all came out within 10 minutes of each other. Really really enjoyed this place, reasonable prices, I will definitely be coming back!

I don't think I've ever seen this many syrup flavors in one place. There's no seating inside since it's mainly a retail shop, but there's a bench outside. I also loved seeing how inclusive the space is with Pride flags throughout the shop. The Cross Cross Apple Sauce Latte (9/10) was nutty, not too bitter, and had the perfect amount of sweetness. I was expecting more apple, but it actually tasted more like vanilla with a subtle apple flavor. Still super good and honestly impressive for a latte this huge.

Once I went in and they forgot my drink in a big rush. I stood for 10ish mins and never got my drink.

I don't think I ever used it but very nice of them, above and beyond behavior! Really great atmosphere, I highly recommend.
