Inicio Coffee review: Parking is small and limited, but due…read moreto most people coming and going, a spot opens up somewhat quickly. Wait times when things got a bit busy, grew longer. I came when it was not busy and got my drink in under two minutes. However, the person sitting next to me (with the cutest doggie! They're dog friendly, I think ) waited longer than 10 minutes for her drink. However, this was during a rush and when it was probably the busiest in the morning (?) AMBIANCE AND ENVIRONMENT: The music volume was pretty good. It was low level when the place got busy due to people chatting, machines, ice scooping etc., but when it wasn't so busy, the level was about medium due to the atmosphere being more quiet. The vibes were Mumford and sons, Oasis, Of Monsters and Men, the Head and the Heart, and some classical sprinkled here and there. It is smaller than a chain, but cozy with quite a few seats and table options. I think they did a great job at making the best of the space. The space also encourages community as half of the seating options are shared/shareable. All within an arms reach, which in my personal opinion, is plenty of space. Because of this, it encourages you to acknowledge your fellow human being sitting across, or beside you. The environment was clean, bright, and comfortable. The environment feedback I woukd give is perhaps a stronger sun shade in the windows that the bar and stools face. I first sat here but within minutes decide to move because the heat was a bit too much for me. Again! A personal preference. Coffee shops can also naturally get warm due to the energy being used for the machines and refrigerators, so something to consider. The air-conditioning kicked in a little later which helped make it more comfortable. Another thing I noticed is the outlet near the corner table and lounge chairs has a an outlet extender plugged into the wall outlet, but the wall outlet is extremely loose with no faceplate. This can cause electric shock, wiring damage and possible fires. I know from personal experience. It's a real easy and cheap fix that I highlyyy recommend they do ASAP. Just trying to be helpful because I really, really like this spot. FOOD AND DRINKS: I ordered a Hibiscus Berry Blend, as is, iced. It was $5.00 even. It is served in a14 Oz. cup. With ice, it's probably about 12-13 Oz. of drink you're getting. I think it was worth it. The flavor was equal and very nice. Not too fruity, not too watery. It wasn't sweet, due to me not asking for any additional sweetener. As I sat and worked, I heard a lot of other orders and some were very creative. So they do have all those fun drinks people love to indulge in occasionally. They also have classic drip coffee and loose leaf tea. THE REASON WHY I TRIED INICIO: The biggest thing I noticed, being an activist myself involved in many efforts for social justice through my work and personal life, was their mission to erase modern day slavery. Human trafficking is a horrible thing that unfortunately is haooening right before out very eyes. They donate a portion of all food, drink, and catering sales to Justice 180. That is honestly, the reason why I came. I would love to partner with them and invite them to come cater at my center. I plan to spread the word about this place and continue to support them.

Hopped on Yelp to find a coffee spot and Steeple House came up. Interestingly enough, the coffee shop is located within a church campus so it's a bit harder to find. We did get to find it thanks to a kind young man who directed us. Now, don't be afraid to stop in because it's located within a church campus. The coffee they serve are great. From Onyx to Black and White Coffee Roasters. The litmus test for how well a barista can do is ordering an espresso straight. My brother's shot was under extracted and he gave it a 2.5, mine was better and was a 3.5/4 Majority of shops will definitely pull shots and use roasts that are more in the classic profile which we don't really like, but it hits with 95 percent of "coffee snobs" we however, prefer true medium roasts that aren't "burnt" or "strong", but when most people are ordering iced lattes, we understand that you need that burnt taste in order to cut through all that milk. Service was great and the vibe is super chill. It's a relatively small shop but it's a nice place to study and to chill.

Like it's fully in a church village kind of thing. While drinking my coffee, little kids were brought out on their recess to play. So be aware of that, but there's also an inside section if you want a bit more quiet. The interior is really cute with free WiFi and fun drinks. The staff was very friendly and nice. I ordered the banana cold brew which was really good and my friend had the matcha latte. The chocolate croissant was also really good! Delicious! :)

Nice atmosphere at Bodevi. Love the set up with the huge couches, chairs and tables. The place is very inviting. It's also bright inside as the natural light comes through the coffee shop.

Bodevi both provide excellent customer service and delicious coffee drinks. During our first visit we ordered Mocha Latte, Vanilla Latte and Iced Mocha. All our drinks tasted good and you can taste the espresso. Great balance with the flavors of mocha and vanilla.

San Fernando Coffee Company on Truman St provided both excellent customer service and delicious coffee drinks. During this visit we ordered the Valley Boy Latte and White Choco Strawberry Latte. It was so good. The Valley Boy Latte was macadamia syrup with chocolate drizzle while the White Choco Strawberry Latte was white chocolate with strawberry cold foam. Both drinks were not too sweet and you can still taste the espresso. The flavors didn't over take the rich based espresso coffee drink. Can't wait to stop by and try other coffee drinks on San Fernando Coffee Company's menu.

The employee also recommended the Matcha Crème Brûlée donut, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. The custard filling was overwhelming and overpowered the donut itself. At $7.50, I expected a better balance of flavors and a higher-quality pastry. For me, it just wasn't worth the price. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the drinks, but I'd probably skip the donut next time.

I ordered the strawberry Matcha, and the Matcha is a ceremonial grade, so there is no bitterness, but I do wish that they added more Matcha to the drink.

And I see a lot of reviews on how good their coffee and espressos are, so I may give those a try instead next time.
