I really used to like La Taza. It gave small town coffee shop vibes, welcoming staff, great coffee…read moreand very importantly had great prices. But I don't know what's happened recently the last few months but the prices have increased quite a bit and the front cashier just doesn't seem to know what she's doing versus the previous one - it's almost like she doesn't understand the questions that are asked or doesn't want to be there. They also stopped carrying 2% milk and don't carry any low fat options, just whole milk and then want to up charge for alternatives. I have stopped coming here less and less which is unfortunate because I've also noticed it isn't as busy when I have came to visit, which is also not a good sign. I used to look forward to coming here every weekend and brought my family here when they came to visit but I have stopped recommending it. Any positive reviews from me would have been based on the previous La Taza, but not the current one.

I love this hut!…read more Java the hut.... No wait, that's not it lol I definitely think about Star Wars when I come here. My brain can't not connect Java Hut to Java the hut lolol Anyway, they have some good coffees and some bad ones lol I loved the Cookies and cream iced coffee drink. That was basically a milkshake! So sweet and creamy. Delicious! My husband go the Honey bunny this time and he liked that. It was not sweet enough for me. He liked it though and that's all that matters lol Ambiance is always slow/ dead when we go. There's never a line. I hope they stay in business.

Shaved ice! Heck yeah!!!…read more I'm not gonna lie. I got really excited when I saw this place because of the shaved ice. I haven't had shaved ice in the longest time. It's been years. I used to love getting shaved ice, so I absolutely had to try it at alpaca tea bar. I ordered the shaped ice with some condensed milk and my husband gave me a weird look and stated "eww why would you add that to shaved ice." lol those who eat shaped ice get it the condensed milk just adds like a creaminess to the dessert. I love condensed milk in my shaved ice. I got the red and green syrup. I loved my shaved ice treat! It was so good. It brought me back in time. My husband got a milk tea and he enjoyed that. He said the Boba was pretty good. I did order Boba in my shaved ice, but I didn't get the Boba for some reason that's OK. The shaved ice was still really good without it. Ambience not very crowded but this tea bar service was good. They made the milk tea and the shaved ice pretty quickly. I would come back here.

I'm such a huge fan of Montague Brothers! I only wish I lived closer!…read more I spent about a week in town for work and came to Montague Bros practically every day. I volunteered to make the coffee runs because I knew I'd get at least a few minutes to enjoy the live music while I was in line. I tried the matcha and coffee, and everything was lovely. And the best part - it was a crowd pleaser when I brought it back for the rest of the crew. The staff was also incredibly kind and so helpful with labelling drinks for me. I want to plan a road trip just to go back!

I ordered that and it was sooooo good! It's creamy and delicious. My husband got a basic hot coffee. Service was good. Ambiance was not too busy.

I love that they have small bites and a few larger options on their menu if you're hungry and want to grab a bite to eat. I love all the available seating they have indoor and outdoors here too. Good place to study, read a book or even hang out with friends. I love that the coffee place also has a cute little boutique shop attached to it with cute clothing and jewelry options.
