The barista with glasses who took our order was especially charismatic and genuinely nice to chat with. We tried one of their specialty drinks, the blueberry maple Latte, both hot and iced, along with the guava muffin. The muffin was really unique and delicious not overly sweet, which I personally loved. The latte itself had a really smooth espresso profile, with the blueberry and maple adding a subtle sweetness without overpowering the coffee. I got mine with oat milk, and the combination honestly reminded me a little of blueberry oatmeal in the best way. The iced version was my favorite the flavors came through really nicely and still let the coffee shine. Prices are also pretty reasonable, especially for the quality. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for good coffee with interesting flavors and want to support a small local business!

I gave this place 3 stars because while the matcha latte was decent, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The flavor leaned a bit too much toward the milk, and there was a subtle aftertaste that reminded me of powdered sugar, which wasn't ideal. On the plus side, I really liked the combination of lavender and oat milk--it added a nice touch. However, at over $10 for a 20oz drink, I was hoping for a more balanced flavor overall. The staff was friendly, the location was cute, and there was Wi-Fi, so it's definitely a nice spot to hang out! read more
