Went here for some silly drinks with my partner and some pastries on a Saturday afternoon. It's a…read moremedium sized establishment with minimal seating. It's somewhat hidden since the door is literally behind a pillar. It's a bright and welcoming cafe with a colorful menu, merch, and pastures. They only serve pastries over the weekend I believe since they collab with bakers. I got their crème brûlée which was a nice dark roast flavor for a good caffeine boost. I got their pandan salt bread and had so much pandan filling it that complimented the salt content. Great experience! Would come again to try more drinks.

I was craving a banana coffee, so I decided to check out this spot. Even though it wasn't on the…read moremenu, they were kind enough to make one for me. The coffee itself was very strong, which made the banana flavor hard to notice. It was topped with a cookie crumble that tasted good, but it made the drink difficult to sip without a straw. If you take your time finishing your drink, the crumble can get a bit soggy by the end. Overall, the coffee was good, but I'm not sure it was worth the nearly $9 price tag They also sell salt bread here. I didn't try any this visit, but I'd be interested in giving it a shot next time. The space has limited seating, so it could be difficult to find a spot to wait during busy times without getting in the way. On the plus side, my drink was prepared quickly.

Tule Coffeehouse is the ideal relaxing shop often found in other places outside of EG; this is the…read moreend goal that many coffee chains strive to have but never achieve. There's a nice indoor area with tables and a couch, real plant vines hang from the ceiling. Through the many clean windows, EG Blvd. can be clearly viewed. There's a courtyard area on either side of the establishment that's well maintained with trimmed trees. There's space between the tables and it doesn't feel so crammed. Soft coffeeshop study music is playing in the background. The workers were friendly and the coffee came out fast even with a line but the sandwiches took over 20 minutes to come out. The coffee and food were at market prices; the sandwiches are larger than normal and easily shareable. Parking was easy thanks to the parking lot next door. The coffee was well balanced with many milk alternatives available and not overly sweet brown sugar or vanilla add-ons. The Turkey Panini was savory, the red bell peppers gave it a kick, and the bread was toasty. The Bacon (turkey) Breakfast sandwich was fluffy and It's refreshing to see this type of vibe in EG.

We recently stopped by Cafe La Vies and ended up having such a fun experience…read more I ordered the banana matcha, which was absolutely delicious. The banana flavor paired surprisingly well with the matcha and made for a really refreshing drink. It was one of those drinks that I immediately knew I'd order again. But honestly, the highlight wasn't even the drink itself. It was the adorable little elephant vessel it came with. They put dry ice inside and then pour water into it, making it look like the elephant is blowing smoke out of its trunk. My daughter was completely mesmerized. Watching her reaction was worth the visit all by itself. What I loved most was that it wasn't just a gimmick. The drink was actually good, and the elephant made such a cute keepsake afterward. It felt like getting both a treat and a souvenir. The café itself had a fun atmosphere, and it was one of those places that felt a little different from your typical coffee or tea stop. Helpful tip: If it's your first visit, order one of the drinks served in the elephant. The presentation alone is worth it, especially if you're visiting with kids. Between the banana matcha and my daughter's excitement over the smoking elephant, this ended up being one of those unexpectedly memorable stops we'll be talking about for a while.

I came in earlier today to try the Mango series, specifically the Mango Sticky Rice. I was excited…read morebecause I've been seeing it advertised all over IG and then all the signs and what not in the store. I walk up to the counter and asked for the Mango Sticky Rice and the guy who helped me, idk what his name is had an attitude and was like we're out of it. I'm thinking to myself, sooo if you KNOW you're of something that's popular and on the menu, maybe you should put a sign somewhere stating that it's currently NOT AVAILABLE. Then I had to call back home to let my siblings know that the initial drink they wanted was not available, so they can choose something else and again the guy taking the order wad annoyed. My siblings decided upon the Mangonada with brown sugar boba and the iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha. Unfortunately, brown sugar boba was not available was all out for the day according to the cashier.. but no sign stating that they were sold out. I had to call my siblings again to let them know and ask if they wanted crystal boba as a replacement. To keep the order going while I was calling them, I asked for a mochi waffle and the guy threw his hands up annoyed and was like do you not want the boba for drink? I told the cashier I'll have the crystal boba instead of the brown sugar since it's currently unavailable, and the guy goes with an attitude... soo do you want the crystal boba? I said yess...yes I do. The Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha was alrightt. It is definitely not all that it is hyped up to be. The drink IMO was just a basic iced matcha with chocolate drizzle on the side of the cup and the pistachio foam that barely tasted like pistachio.

Midnight matcha (matcha with Oreo crumble) is a nice sweet treat. The C3 Phin Rich Milk is good too, I'll have to try the C2 Phin Milk from this location sometime (I've had the C2 from Gerber, but it was just alright). If you're able to get a comfy seat or table, it's a great study spot as well. Never had a problem with service and drinks come out pretty quick.

Ordered a medium sized coffee tiramisu with extra espresso and it came out to $10.50 after tax…read more This is what I received. The cup was incredibly small. When I asked, "Is this the medium?" the barista stumbled over his words and said they were "new medium cups." You can see other reviews less than a month ago, and the cups were more substantial... If I had to guess, these probably only hold around 12 ounces of liquid. Talk about cheap! I won't be back. For expensive coffee, you should be getting more.

They are relatively new and serve coffee and items from mellobun bakery, which is what got my attention. I don't drink coffee, do this is just for the bakery side and the dining area. Inside is aesthetically pleasing and has a lot of cool art. They have decent seating. The coffee flavored are pretty interesting as well. I got a cookie to try and it was not bad. They ran out of other bakery items since I got here after the lunch rush, so other items must be good. Customer service was friendly as well. Quick service and the workers were hard at working making everyone's drink orders.

Recommended drinks: dulce de leche coffee and the Mexican mocha. For brunch, the chilaquiles and huevos rancheros were solid choices. They also sell mini conchas shaped like little turtles, which I thought was a really cute touch: only about $2 each. Service was fast and efficient. You order and pay at the counter before seating.

As a working student, having spots like these really feel as though they have me in mind, ensuring that I can get my job done comfortably and without any hitches. HOSPITALITY: The workers are always nice and smiling, and ensures that me, as a customer, is heard and accomodated. FOOD/BEVERAGES: This specialty coffee shop provides a lot of options to choose from, and I have absolutely loved all of them! I frequent this place, so I have been able to try out all that they offer, and I have not had any problems or complaints whatsoever. My favorite drink that they have is their Olive Grove! It's a shaken espresso drink that is lightly emulsified with honey and olive oil, which brings out their espresso's caramel and toffee notes. To me, it's an impressively good and balanced drink, especially with the sweet and rich oat milk they top it off with. If you're feeling adventurous, I believe that the Olive Grove is the way to go. Overall, I would say that this is an easy 10/10 for me! Would definitely recommend to anyone who's looking for coffee shops to frequent or to check out.
