    This is a great place for drip coffee lovers, but if you're into sweeter drinks you may resonate with me. I was excited to try Filter with all the great reviews but it was a little underwhelming for me. Based on the name they specialize in pour overs and French press. While I'm more of an espresso/latte fan, the reviews also mentioned they have good espresso too which is why we still checked it out. Some quick things I noticed, they only have oat and soy as milk alternatives and only have muscavado syrup you can add to your drink. There were some pastries available too. I got an iced mocha and added the muscavado syrup and my friend got a hot oak milk latte with the muscavado syrup. My mocha tasted a little bitter even after adding the syrup. When we ordered we were asked if it would be 'for here' or 'to go'. We decided 'for here' so my friend got her drink in a mug. Unfortunately there isn't much seating other than some standing tables in the area, but it's connected to a building so we found a table, but weren't sure if it was technically connected to the coffee shop. It's not an issue that some coffee shops are go to vibes only but if it's an option to have your drink in an actual mug I wished there were more seating options.

    Honestly, what grabbed my attention to try this spot is because this cafe encourages to talk to your neighbors, which is very unique and very true what we need to do nowadays. I ordered one of their "special"/pour over & french press coffee menu, the Kenya one. I highly recommend trying this menu because this coffee has such a unique flavor! No milk/creamer added, just black and the coffee was a sweet taste! HIGHLY recommend trying this cafe! I will definitely come back to try more of the "special" menu!

    Delicious. Great service. Good atmosphere. Good selection Good feel to the place That's all I have to say but thus annoying Yelp app makes me put 85 characters. How's that Yelp ?

    Oat Latte w/ housemade Brown Sugar Syrup

    Probably my favorite coffee in the city right now! I love the Plain Oat Latte! But, whew they have an in-house brown sugar syrup and it's freaking delicious! Everytime I go, I ask what the name is and I always forget but- get it! The staff here- Incredible! They are always so nice and my lattes always have the most amazing art! Can't beat that! The coffee is strong but still subtle and smooth and creamy! A bit pricey, but "you gotta pay to play". Or pay for great coffee & experience in this case lol No seating inside anymore with the rise im cases. It's also in an office building so, not open in weekends or holidays.

    It's a very cute coffee shop with few tables inside. It was hard to judge outside since they have construction going on. I ordered a latte. They wouldn't serve it in a mug unless you have a proof of vaccinations. All the workers were wearing masks. Latte was delicious with nice foam. It might of had nice design but it was destroyed when they put cover on it.

    A friend and I came here this afternoon, and for me it was the very first time. The ambiance and interior design of the cafe is something different and uplifting! They have so many option that it was hard to choose the best coffee or drink option. Right off the bat, I noticed the brown sugar latte and it's something that I have definitely not tried before. My friend decided upon the regular iced coffee, and she mentioned that she's ordered t several times from this place. When we went inside there was a short line to place drink orders, but it moved quickly. The person working behind the counter was friendly and nice, and it took literally seconds to complete the drink order transaction. Finding a table so sit and chill was not so easy however, but we were able to locate a table within the side room. This area had no windows but it was fine. The brown sugar latte could now be one of my all-time favorites!

    Very strong coffee flavor but does not offer any flavoring syrups. The place is spacious but there is no seating due to COVID. The workers are very friendly.

They were playing bossa and jazz. I opted for the Aren latte and Indonesian beef rissole. Aren latte: 5/5 Latte with an in-house made Aren (palm sugar from West Java) for that hint of molasses and dark brown sugar This was one of my favorite coffees I've had in a while. There was a delicious coffee taste not overshadowed but rather enhanced by the smoky sweet taste of the Aren. I'll be thinking about this latte for a while. Indonesian beef rissole: 3/5 Batter-like skin rolled in breadcrumbs filled with savory ground halal beef & sautéed vegetables While I've never had this dish before, I googled pictures of what it should look like, and mine seemed to have significantly less meat than it should've. The taste was still delicious and seasoned and hearty, but it was mostly mush with some veggies and hardly any beef. While I thought the rissole was disappointing, I love the aren latte so much I'll still keep the 5 star review.

We also ordered the Platanachos (plantain nachos), which were flavorful and such a fun twist on traditional nachos.
