Their espresso machine broke but eventually got fixed thank goodness. Positive note the KARAMELE APPLE PIE LATTE that I got was fabulous a nice fruity flavor and robustness to the coffee not overly sweetened and for an on the fly was really good. Overall if this is an example of their coffee then I am happy to try them again. I also got and African Violet but have not taken a sip.

I slowly watched as their stand inside Bryant Street Market was built out and accidentally dropped in on their first day of full operations on Tuesday, Jan 14! I got the small Sukari Latte, which was listed as one of their specialties. It's sweetened with condensed milk and has some spices. The espresso is darker than I'm used to, but it was a nice blend and I appreciated their unique take on a latte. It was a tad sweeter than I prefer, and would ask for it less sweet next time. The coffee stand is well designed and adds a lot of interest to their corner. There are some stools here, but there's plenty of other seating available at the food hall, so never a concern about enough seating. Note that they have a small, medium, and large cup options here--I ordered the small. There were plenty of pastries to choose from, but I didn't go for any this time around. I'm not sure if the pastries are made in-house as ai forgot to ask, but they looked good! Looking forward to patronizing this coffee stand and trying more of their offerings.

Michael and I always drink our coffee black, so we were happy to discover that their coffee is not bitter. It's not the same caliber of good local coffees like Compass and Peregrine, but it is drinkable as is. No need for sugar or milk. Price is good too. They have lots of tables and chairs and they have free WiFi, so a good place to hang out before shopping or if you're needing some coffee. Service was good too.

I didn't get a drink this time but the menu is so unique and extensive , I have to come back to try something. There are also a few items available to purchase like sugar cubes with pear and honey. The label said the cubes can be added to tea, hot water, or even champagne! Love that. I also saw a couple varieties of Vanilla available for purchase. Everything just looks so elevated!

I don't come to this part of town too often because we switch-up different soccer fields throughout the city. If we do come back to the area I will try to make it a point to come back here again.

The espresso is better than okay, but not great. Overall a wonderful place and I'm glad to have spent my money there (even though it was pretty pricey) but I hope that in the future their baristas could be a little more experienced and their roasting or sourcing could level up. Exceptional for the average customer, underwhelming for coffee geeks.

This is an ideal place for me to sit and study, read a book, or talk to a friend over coffee. The Coffee Bar also has a limited selection of food items like pastries.

Does the syrup make it unhealthy? :( Service is fairly fast and you can use your TerpBucks! It's the next best thing to having an actual Starbucks on campus in an accessible location. There's ample seating space both inside and outside, and they sell pastries too. Grande size only, limited selection of drinks (obviously).

She's warm, welcoming, and actually takes the time to help you customize your drink exactly how you like it. Not sure what you want? She'll guide you. Want to tweak sweetness, milk, flavor? She's got you. That personal touch makes all the difference.

I'm already excited for when she rolls out her danishes, muffins, and eventually breakfast sandwiches because if they're anything like her drinks, we're in trouble (the good kind).
