It was newly renovated, had a nice seating area in the front, which is where we sat. The iced coffee is so good, with many selections of extras such as vanilla flavoring, oat, soy or coconut milk for those of us who cannot have dairy. The lady who took my order was super nice, friendly and helpful. Aside from the sidewalk outside, it is handicap accessible, if someone holds the door open for you to come in with your wheelchair. It wasn't loud and the place was nice and sunny. The coffee was just as delicious as I remembered from 3 years ago. We will definitely be returning for coffee because the ambiance, the coffee and the service were excellent.

It looked so good that we had to try it! I ordered that exact combination, and my boyfriend got the Cookies & Cream churro with Fruity Pebbles. Both were delicious and looked just like the pictures. I also want to give a shout out to Max and Sydney. They were incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming. I wasn't sure what toppings or dipping sauce were used in the photo I saw, but Sydney knew exactly what I was talking about right away and helped me order it. Thank you, Sydney! The café itself is pretty spacious, very clean, and wasn't too crowded when we visited, which made it a nice place to relax and enjoy our dessert. Overall, we had a great first experience and will definitely be coming back!

I wasn't really sure what to get so I ended up going with the Wife's Special Latte, which was around $7. It had an almond and white chocolate flavor to it. The latte was more on the almondy side, which I honestly prefer. It was about medium sweetness for a latte but overall not bad. They did have pastries as well as matcha items, which I would try the next time I am around here. The service was quick and friendly.

I'm glad they're on the permanent menu. It looks like they also have a rotating seasonal menu as well. Between the two, I would probably favor the berry cobbler with espresso. The one with matcha was a little sweet for me but I believe you can ask for it half sweet so that maybe would've helped. This location had some seating indoor and outdoors. The baristas were really nice and the drinks came out pretty quick!

There is a lot of indoor seating and a few tables outside. The baristas are super nice and great with recommendations.

It was refreshing and the strawberry helped balance out the matcha taste, it was noticeable but not overwhelming. I would love to try some of their other fun drinks. Overall great coffee shop if you are in Downtown Gilbert!
