My girlfriends and I ordered the following: * Iced Latté - Just right flavor, not too strong. Very refreshing during the hot weather. * Iced Matcha - Delicious and satisfying. Love it! There is a nice seating area with lots of succulents and other plants outside. Good customer service. We had parked somewhere and just walked here.

The only reason for the 1 star off is that it is pricey - a large size with almost milk cost me $10. I also loved the gluten free pistachio apricot tea cake! It had bits of apricot throughout, was dense because of the almond flour but so moist & fragrant & a nice crumb.

I ordered the iced matcha latte which is sweetened with agave and my friend ordered the same but with berry foam. The berry foam is a must, I highly recommend it! Their matcha is good and isn't overly sweet or artificial. They also have an array of fun deals that I look forward to taking advantage of soon! ($4 Matcha Mondays and much more)

Herst This little…read moregem is tucked away in the Lido Marina and you wouldn't know it was there unless someone told you about it, you saw it on a review site or just stumbled across it. It's a local hangout for sure; patrons working on lap tops, friends greeting each other and barista's acknowledging prior customers. Super cool spot situated on the main thoroughfare on Lido and only steps to a view of the marina. The Coffee itself was excellent; great flavor, well made and the service was equally as good. The outside patio reminded me of something you'd find in Europe; the walls are covered in vines and it's situated right on the the street where it was a great place to people watch etc.. I could see this place getting extremely busy of a weekend and parking would be very challenging so plan accordingly...we were there at 7.30am , perfect time. A must visit.

My wife and I did a simple iced latte and cappuccino both with whole milk. The coffee was great with no sour taste to them. My wife also wanted the croissant, so we ordered one. It was good, but nothing too special. It does get really busy here and for a good reason. It's in a great location in the Lido Marina Village. There was plenty of seating inside and outside. I did get confused with the restrooms but there was one across the street (public restroom). Just to note, I don't think there was a policy for dogs since many people with dogs were coming in and out that were for sure not service animals. I didn't mind since I love dogs, but can be an issue for those with sensitivities. The baristas were all very nice, no issue with customer service. I was basically the only asian dude there the whole time, but there was no issue. Everyone was nice :)

It wasn't bad; however, it just wasn't what I was expecting. It tasted like cereal milk, which again, isn't bad but not something I particularly wanted either. Great customer service! : ) This place has been on my list of places to go for a long time. I'm glad I was finally able to try it.

Such a cute little spot!!…read more Definitely busy, but a lot of people coming and going so you could get a great street parking spot on 31st street. I was lucky enough to find street parking right outside the shop when I pulled up. Casual, cute spot with outdoor seating. Selection of breakfast and lunch and lots of sandwich and salad options. I had the chicken pesto and tried their viral vanilla chai and it was really good! Service was fast. Great spot for a laid back meal and good vibes:)

The price of some of these items were kind of astronomical but for a one weekend thing, it's acceptable.

Shoutout to Emma for being so kind and for turning me into a repeat customer.

The baristas are top of the line and are very consistent. They have a variety of fun drinks as well but their coffee is so good. You definitely don't need any sugar or syrup added. I love to get a cappuccino with their turbo shot or an iced latte with their blend. If you're feeling something fun try The Vici, which has a delicious cold foam on top and is not too sweet. They are located inside of Vici Salon, have their own space with Wi-Fi and tables with comfortable chairs where you can do work or hang out. They're baked goods are delicious and have a Swedish influence. Love their banana bread with sugar crusted crunch. They also sell lots of locally crafted goods and nice leather goods Parking is easy in the parking lot out front or in the back and the store has two entrances one directly to the coffee shop and one where you walk through the Salon.
