    I've been here multiple times and used to really like their matcha, but after they changed it, I stopped getting it and coming here. I decided to give them another try today and ordered one of their fall drinks. Unfortunately, the drink appeared to have curdled milk in it. There were visible chunks and clumps throughout the drink and around the lid, which honestly made me uncomfortable drinking it. I ended up throwing it away after only having about two sips. I'm not sure what happened, but definitely disappointing and not what I expected. Hopefully this was just a one time issue.

    Cute and cozy little spot. Takes a minute to get your drinks but always tasty just wish there was more sitting outside they get busy quickly. Love the drink options though!

    Strawberry toast. Delicious!

    Truly love this cafe so much. The people are always so friendly and the coffee/food tastes so good!! I love their seasonal drinks so much. I just wish they weren't so expensive.

    This spot seems popular with people working in the nearby medical offices--I noticed a lot of folks in scrubs while we were there. There's a huge seating area, which was really nice and made it feel comfortable even when it was busy. They also sell coffee beans and some merch, though I didn't get a chance to check those out closely. Drink-wise, my husband ordered the Biscoff latte, and I went with a dark chocolate mocha, which I really enjoyed--the dark chocolate made it feel less sweet and more balanced. The coffee itself was good. Not bad at all--just not something I'd go out of my way for. That said, one thing that really stood out was the latte art. The barista made the cutest bear in my drink, and I was genuinely impressed. I even posted it on Instagram and sent it to friends--it was that well done. Overall, this is a solid coffee spot. If you're in the area and want a good cup of coffee in a spacious, comfortable setting, it's definitely worth stopping by. It's not a destination café for me, but I'd happily return if I was nearby.

    Koin coffee is great! My coworkers and I go here about 3-4 times a week. The inside is so spacious and very welcoming. The staff are very polite and helpful. I always get the breakfast sandwich, it's my favorite!

    Cold brew

    First time checking out Koin Cafe! I got a plain cold brew, and it was pretty good--had a nice almost fruity flavor to it that I really liked. My wife got the peppermint patty mocha latte, which was also solid. I liked that it wasn't super sweet, and the mint flavor kind of built up as you kept drinking it. This place seems super chill--quiet music, people studying or working, lots of tables. Definitely seems like a great spot to get some work done or just hang out for a bit. Only downside was that it was pretty freezing inside. I was nearly shivering even with a hoodie on. Overall, solid spot! Drinks were good, atmosphere was nice, and I'd love to come back to try their food next time.

    Overnights oats and iced vanilla latte

    I been coming here for over a year now. I have tried numerous things on their menu. There's a couple of favs. I recommend the iced vanilla they make their syrups in house, which I prefer as you can go half sweet and still get great non-artificial taste. Their seasonal menu is great. Try their overnight oats, they are pricey at $7 & $9, definitely a splurge. Lunch get their turkey pesto. Their customer service is awesome, and I mean awesome. They have about 15 employees and all of them seem to enjoy their work & are happy & attentive. Their ambiance is great, good for work, good to meet someone, good for breakfast.

    I would love to rate this place 5 stars for their hospitality and overall vibes, but they didn't have any outlets anywhere:( When I asked the barista about outlets he said there is an extension cord in one place in the entire shop next to a couch, where there's no place to put your your computer. Coffee shops typically have outlets as that's the place people go to for working, so I was just shocked that there is nothing on any of the walls. I see in the owner replies on here that they offer power banks, but they didn't tell me about this in the moment, and I had to leave. I liked their matcha, and the almond croissant was okay just very dry and I realized the croissant is $8 (I think the most expensive croissant I've ever seen). I would go back for hanging out when not needing to work.

    Their vanilla bean is made in house and it's so delicious in the vanilla iced latte! Might be my fav placed for vanilla lattes. There is alot of open seating indoor and outdoor, they also have the long study tables that we all love. Such a cute vibe with nice music playing too. Definitely coming back to catch up on work or to chat with a friend. 10/10!!

    Interior
    Janet N.

    Made it a mission to explore WC's cafes and so happy to have come across Koin! A largely space cafe serving up pastries and solid cups of coffee. Big spacious interior with lots of natural light and plenty of seating. I stopped in prior to work and did not run into an 8am rush and was able to order quickly. Got an Iced Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte and it was absolutely delicious! Sweet, great tasting coffee and loved the flavors syrup you could even see the bits of cinnamon through out the drink. Also, really like the ice they use for their drinks. Service was quick, friendly and welcoming. Definitely would recommend this place if you're looking for a place to work on your laptop or catching up with friends. Noise level is appropriate and environment is comfortable. Lots of parking in the plaza. Highly recommend this place!

    We had an appointment nearby and also needed a spot with reliable wifi and readily available tables for us to park our laptops at. The local Peets and Starbucks, with their very tiny sq. footage and limited table capacity seemed like dubious choices, so my wife searched on Yelp and found Koin Coffee. Located inside a commercial office complex, free parking is readily available in the private lot. And the interior is very open, spacious, and clean; with TONS of tables to choose from. Although we arrived a little earlier in the morning, the place quickly started to fill up as we were working through a few Zoom calls. Koin coffee has a pretty good selection of caffeinated drinks to choose from. Though unless you are working at one of the offices in the complex, this is definitely a more intentional destination as it will require driving.

    This coffee spot is so good, delicious smooth coffee. The smavo toast is so good, the bread is thick and soft. For coffee, I had one of the specials called the cinnamon roll latte, I recommend it. The inside is big, there's a corner with some merch, lots of seating inside too. The service is quick and friendly. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

    Hidden gem close (walkable) to the various kids' fitness facilities (American Swim Academy, etc). Finding Koin Coffee was a blessing - in search of a decent coffee spot that wasn't a 15 minute drive away. Strong drip coffee and a fun selection of lattes and pastries. Plenty of seating inside and some tables outside. Lots of parking nearby (although a surprising amount of cars on a weekend too - not sure where all of those people were). Staff were friendly and upbeat.

We ordered the strawberry matcha latte and banana milk coffee! The matcha was a beautiful green color, but unfortunately the matcha flavor was quite faint, and the strawberry syrup tasted a little artificial to me. I also found the drink to be a little too sweet despite ordering it less sweet. The banana milk coffee was better! It tasted pretty much exactly how I imagined it would, although it was also a little too sweet for me even at less sweet. I probably wouldn't get the matcha again, but I could see myself coming back for a coffee, some food, or to study. The cafe is connected to the library, so it's pretty quiet, and there is free Wi-Fi through the library along with plenty of outlets. The seating is a bit limited, but there were several vacant tables and bar spots when I dropped by. There's also plenty of parking, either in the library lot or nearby. Overall, the drinks weren't quite my favorite, but I would come back to get some work done.

    I originally went out looking for a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich and Googled "good breakfast…read morenear me." This spot came up, and although my wife and I have driven past it many times, we've never stopped in. Today, I decided to finally give it a try. After looking through the Google photos, I changed my mind and ordered a breakfast plate instead of a sandwich. Parking was a little challenging. I arrived around 11:00 a.m. and had to circle the block a few times before finding a spot directly in front of the diner. When I walked in, I wasn't sure whether I should seat myself or wait to be seated. All of the waitresses appeared busy, so I stood near the entrance. Once she was available, Marianna greeted me. Initially, I wasn't a fan of being asked whether I was picking up food rather than whether I was dining in or taking out, but I quickly realized they may be accustomed to regular customers who already know the process. Since it was my first visit, I explained that I wasn't sure if I should seat myself. Personally, I think a sign near the entrance would be helpful for first-time guests. Since I was dining alone, I chose a seat at the counter and ordered the Sugar Plum Special with cheese grits and sourdough toast. While waiting for my food, I noticed something that concerned me. The staff did not appear to be wearing gloves, and I observed food being handled after touching various surfaces, including condiments, plates, glasses, and trash areas. While I understand that food service relies heavily on proper handwashing practices, I personally felt uncomfortable watching bread being handled directly by hand. I requested that my toast be handled with a utensil instead, and my request was accommodated without issue. When my food arrived, my eggs were cooked exactly as requested--scrambled hard--and the bacon was perfectly crispy. The bacon was a little saltier than I personally prefer, but that's more about my taste than the preparation. Overall, both items were flavorful. Now, let's talk about the grits. I come from a strong Southern background, and we take our grits seriously. The presentation was fantastic. The butter melting on top and the cheese looked absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, the texture wasn't there on the first serving. The grits were noticeably gritty and undercooked. After a couple of bites, I sent them back and requested they be cooked a bit longer. One of the waitresses explained that customers typically need to request the grits "well done." That was surprising to me because I've always believed grits should naturally be cooked until smooth and creamy. In my opinion, that's how they're meant to be served. Thankfully, the second batch was much better. While they still could have been stirred a bit more, the texture improved significantly and was much closer to what I expected. I also want to recognize Marianna for her excellent service. She was accommodating, attentive, and handled my concerns professionally throughout the meal. Overall, I would return. The restaurant has a warm, family-oriented atmosphere and an old-school diner feel that is becoming harder to find these days. It reminded me of the kind of place you'd visit after church on a Sunday morning or somewhere you'd go with your grandparents for a comforting home-cooked meal. While there were a few areas that could be improved, the welcoming environment and friendly service left a positive impression on me.

The morning ritual is the best smoothie I've ever had. It's hard to balance health and flavor, but this was both healthy and incredible. They list the ingredients used in each smoothie, so you know all of what they contain. You can even add different boosters such as mass muscle, etc. It's located inside of a gym, to the right side of it. Don't be thrown off, you don't need a membership to enjoy the fantastic smoothies. The workers have been really sweet each time we've visited, and when we ordered via Uber it was ready upon arrival. One of the only drawbacks is how expensive it is. I also really wish that they listed their nutrition facts online. For such a health oriented company it's shocking that they don't, and especially a company of decent size. The smoothies contain dates, nuts, etc. So although they are good ingredients they can be high in fats, so it's important to know. Our smoothie also has coffee as well which we enjoy, but knowing the caffeine content would be appreciated. My last order also had huge white frozen balls that were unblended in it which was odd, I'm not quite sure what they were. If the price was lower, we would come here much more often.
