Plus this is a Big Plus they put coffee cubes, so the ice is made of coffee which makes so much sense so when it melts it's not watery. What a brilliant idea! Service is always good very friendly. And the atmosphere is so cozy. I love this place

My son and I stop by for a breakfast/brunch which is served the duration of the hours of operation. Customer service was friendly. Food was fulfilling. We both ordered a waffle as a the first course. And second course I order the avocado toast came with an egg. And my son ordered his fav breakfast item, which are breakfast tacos. Water is self served. I really like the large windows with all of the natural lighting. We were the last customers of the day was service was still very friendly.

The staff was incredibly friendly from the moment I walked in. I ordered a churro latte with whipped cream and it was absolutely delicious. I also grabbed a blueberry muffin, and they warmed it up perfectly. The outside had a slight crisp while the inside stayed soft and moist. The atmosphere is what really sold me. There are cute outdoor tables, cornhole games, fun artwork throughout the space, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. I pulled out my laptop and got some work done comfortably, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover they also serve alcoholic beverages and stay open later in the evening. It feels like a coffee shop and neighborhood hangout all in one. Whether you're looking for a place to work remotely, meet friends, enjoy a coffee date, or spend time with family, I highly recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be back!

Stopped by CoffeeTrend to try some coffee and a cocktail and was surprisingly disappointed…read more I saw mixed reviews about this coffee shop online, but I'm always open to forming my own opinion. As a coffee lover with an adventurous palate, I was excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, this experience was unrewarding. We ordered three drinks the Anna's Special, iced white chocolate almond latte with almond milk, and an iced pistachio vanilla latte with almond milk and none of these drinks lived up to their names nor the listed ingredients that were listed. The coffees in my opinion were flavorless, watery, and underwhelming. We picked a cocktail at random to try which was the Anna's Special and trust me there was nothing special about this drink other than the prices. This establishment has some really good price options when it comes to coffee, cocktails, pastries, wines, and other beverages. The barista's were very friendly, welcoming, and sweet. The restaurant offered indoor and outdoor seating with cute colorful pictures, artwork, and signatures on the wall. Would I return? Maybe not

Badolina Cafe has been the only thing keeping me going for the past 4 years…read more The Standouts: - Pistachio Basque Cheesecake: It is ridiculously creamy with that perfect "burnt" top, and the pistachio flavor is rich and nutty. - Pistachio Croissant: The lamination is top-tier, and the filling is generous without being cloying. Pro-Tips for the Budget-Conscious: - If you time your visit between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM, all pastries are 50% off. It's easily the best deal in the neighborhood and the perfect excuse to clear out the display case. - Student Discount: Don't forget to flash your ID! They offer a student discount, which makes this a prime "study treat" spot. The Vibe: Seating is quite limited indoors, so don't bank on a large group table. However, they have a small outdoor patio that is lovely when the weather is behaving. It's a great spot to people-watch while you get your sugar fix. Friendly staff, aesthetic treats, and a massive discount if you play your cards right. I'll be back (probably tomorrow at 4:01 PM?).

My croissant was warmed up with delicious crunchy edges and tart fresh raspberries inside. I do enjoy that they heat up the croissant in the oven rather than microwave like other places.

We all ordered different milks -- whole, skim, coconut, and oat -- and they were able to accommodate all of us! I really liked my iced latte, which was rich without being overly floral or sweet. The pastries were also a hit, including the lemon poppy muffin, cherry turnover, chocolate croissant, and the spinach, mushroom, and cheese danish. The outside of this coffee shop and apothecary doesn't exactly have curb appeal, but the inside is bright, clean, and stylish, combining sleek lines with softer botanical elements to create a welcoming space. The barista was... indifferent at best, borderline unfriendly at worst. We did ask a couple questions that seemed to irritate her, but we were the only people in there, so we weren't holding up a line or anything. It was a bummer to feel unwelcome, but we were getting the coffee and pastries to go regardless, so it didn't ruin our breakfast.

Leven Bakery was originally a stop for me to pick up a Too Good To Go order, but I ended up…read morediscovering so much more than just baked goods. In addition to the bakery items, they also had a nice selection of drinks and menu items available. I tried the strawberry matcha, and it was good. One thing to note is that it wasn't sweetened, but if you prefer a sweeter drink, you may want to ask for sweetener or add your own. For baked goods, I got the turmeric lemon tea cake, cowboy cookies, and oaty peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Everything was delicious, and I loved being able to try such a variety of flavors. Another huge plus is that all of their bakery items are gluten-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions without sacrificing taste or quality.

I take my kids here and still love their cookies but now I am into their cowboy cookies more. I still like their oatmeal a lot.

You can see in the picture below: pale, bland, and lacking that rich matcha flavor. On the bright side, the coffee latte was much better and hit the spot. I also loved that they're on the inKind system, makes paying super easy. Staff was friendly and helpful, which definitely added to the experience. Might give it another shot, but I'll skip the matcha next time.

I popped in for a taro chia seed pudding, and it was a tasty treat-- the chia layer tasted like sweet taro, the berries weren't sour (yay!), and the pineapple compote was quite sweet too. Cookies are buttery and on the softer side without much of a dense chew. Seating area is cute and might get a little crowded during busy hours. The service was straight forward and fine (not the friendliest but not cold either, wasn't offered utensils, oops). Prices aren't cheap and not listed up front (but you can look at their menu). Great place to stop by after a run or ride-- I'll be back in the mornings when it's empty to try some of their cakes!

I can definitely see myself studying here if I wanted to switch up my environment. It is a popular spot though, so if you are looking for a quieter place to study this might not be it. The parking is limited, but they have some spots in the front as well as a small lot to the left of the building. There's also across the street at the mix as a last resort. Got their infamous einspanner and I was a fan! The whipped foam on top was so creamy without being heavy, and all mixed together, it was a great balance of sweet and creamy with a subtle hit of bitterness from the coffee. I totally get why they are known for this. (8.5/10) The service was also very fast and friendly. Overall, I'd definitely come back.

Berry Tart Butter Croissants Pistachio Croissants Hot Salted Caramel Latte w/Almond Milk Service: OMG, what can I say other than I wasn't ready! Brock and Jael exceeded my expectations of this cute coffee shop and its services. This was my first time ever visiting this establishment accompanied by my mom. We were greeted with the most beautiful smiles and jolly hellos anxiously prepared to take our orders. I had an idea but I wasn't sure what I wanted to order. These two amazing young people helped me decide what I would eventually order. My mom and I were treated so well that I made the decision to return with my work team and I'm truly excited to plan the trip. If you've never been to this coffee shop and you're in the area, please consider stopping by to pick up some coffee and delicious pastries. I would have rated this business 5 stars but I was disappointed with the service provided by the young ladies at the coffee area. They lacked the top notch quality customer service provided by Brandon and Jael. Unfortunately, I didn't get a smile or a hello from these ladies. I think maybe a little coaching is in order. Atmosphere: The interior and exterior of the building was nice and clean including the ladies room. The noise level was low and comfortable while folks were enjoying their food, working on their laptops, and having conversations. I was quite pleased.

Not quite sure what to expect, I was pleased to see that it's completely plant-based including the pastries and no extra plus charge for alternative milks (praise!) I ended up ordering their pistachio latte which had a really rich, bold espresso note and a sweet cardamom finish at the bottom of the cup. I would definitely get this again but might try to stir it before drinking for a more even flavor distribution. In terms of the setting, there's lots of small tables and couches to work and study with either a small group or alone. They also have a back patio with additional seating, board games, and even a printer which can be hard to find in this day and age. Overall the vibe is relaxed and casual. Finally, while I had to wait about 30 minutes to order and receive my drink, I had some time to watch their workflow and would offer some suggestions for improvement to speed up their service. The staff all clearly put a lot of care into preparing each drink and were doing the best they could to move quickly, but the layout of the back counter area is fairly inefficient. To start, the ice well for cold drinks is on the complete opposite side of the register away from their espresso machines. This added a lot of steps for the staff to prepare iced coffee drinks. Secondly, the straws were also quite a reach for the staff across the counter, also by the ice well. Finally, the order retrieval process is not the best. There are no names written on the cups and customers are sometimes in the bathroom or outside on the back patio when their order is ready. It can be hard for the staff to locate the right customer or if the drink gets left on the counter, it's hard to know what it is and who it is for. Overall, a pleasant (plant-based!) discovery but hoping they might consider a few steps (pun intended) to reduce the strain on their staff.

It would be really great for a study spot! The coffee menu has a good amount of specialty drinks. I got the pistachio latte, which is ground pistachio with cardamom, and I got it with vanilla syrup. Every first Tuesday of the month (don't quote me on this, check their instagram!) they have free drinks covered by Frost Bank, which is very nice. Lines can get long though so come quick, right at 8!
