The Woodman has the BEST cold brew, and their matcha is so flavorful and fresh. What really stands out is the quality of their ingredients. People don't always pay attention to what kind of milk, matcha, and ingredients coffee shops are using, but it makes such a difference. You can genuinely taste the quality here. Definitely a must try!

I found this place in Yelp by specifically putting "cappuccino" in the Yelp search bar…read more After living in Florence, Italy for a while, finding a comparable cappuccino in the states is always a fun adventure for me. Most places don't quite hit that invisible bench mark I've set inside my head. Well, the first sip of my dry (extra foamy) cappuccino from Saint Coffee shop stopped me in my tracks and briefly took me back to Florence. The sip was extra foamy and the cappuccino soft in flavor. I had to go back into the shop and discover who made it. Laney was the barista and let me tell you... Laney makes a wonderful cappuccino!

I really like Saint--the coffee is excellent, and I appreciate that it's locally owned…read more Unfortunately, the seating situation has become a problem. A friend and I came in at lunchtime intending to order lunch and coffee, but we had to leave without ordering because there was nowhere to sit. About ten of the available tables were each occupied by a single person working on a computer. I understand that cafés can be comfortable places to work, but in such a small space, it would be helpful if Saint placed some limits on laptop use during busy meal hours. Customers coming in to enjoy lunch or coffee together should also have a reasonable chance of finding a table. I truly hope they address this, because I would like to keep supporting this lovely neighborhood café.

I don't always have a pastry option since I'm GF, and this is a good one. Other than that, the baristas are all super nice. My dog also insists we turn into that little plaza and go in. Not sure if it's because of the good vibes or if he knows I'm better after the coffee lol but he loves it so much. Happy to give this place my money and avoid the giant chains any day.

I can't believe how many times I have passed by this coffee shop and never noticed it. Walked in…read morethis morning at 8:40AM and got a very nice welcome from Mary. Actually, all of their employees. Place was packed. Wanted to see and know the sizes of the cups for me to decide which one to go with and the price difference. I went with a medium size hot decaf (one shot) Vanilla Latte with Macadamia Milk. Also got a Blueberry Muffin and a plain butter Croissant. I thought that they would also have some breakfast items like egg, bacon, sausage, cheese etc..they didn't. They only had plain bagel and Cream Cheese. My Latte tasted very good, on the flip side the Croissant wasn't as warm and fresh as I wanted for it to be. I asked the ladies behind the counter to warm it up again. The muffin was very fresh and delicious. Lauren handed me the Latte and my goodies. I don't want to dock a star for the Croissant, but it could have been a lot more fresh. Place was clean, with one gender neutral restroom, inside and outside seating, and the price was right for the 3 items that I got. $14.00 in total plus my tip of $2.00. Street parking only, woman owned, beautiful art work on their walls by famous artists, merchandise for sale, and nice music from the 80's playing overhead. Last but not least, under the businesses amenities page it says, no dogs allowed. It was dogs galore inside and outside. No offense to people who have dogs, but outside is ok, not inside..

I went with the ice blended Frappuccino and blueberry scone. The Frappuccino isn't too sweet and refreshing on a hot day. The blueberry scone was also "not too sweet" and went well with the blended drink. There is outdoor seating as well as an indoor seating area. It didn't get too loud even with the interior area being filled with patrons. Will have to try the Pistachio Latte next time I come.

Cara Vana Coffee Shop is honestly one of the best local coffee shops I've tried in a while!…read more I hate to say it, but a lot of local coffee shops tend to miss the mark for me. The coffee can be bitter, and sometimes you order a vanilla latte and can barely taste any vanilla. But Cara Vana gets it right. Their Horchata Iced Latte is absolutely delicious! I always get iced coffee, and this one has quickly become a favorite. It is definitely on the sweeter side, which is exactly how I like my coffee, but they have no problem modifying the sweetness if you prefer it less sweet. The horchata flavor is actually distinct and tastes SO good with the coffee. It doesn't just get lost in the espresso. The shop itself is also really cute, with a modern Latino flair that gives it a great atmosphere. And of course, I love supporting Latino-owned businesses! The staff are always so kind and welcoming, too, which makes the experience even better. And I have to mention the green burrito and the salsa they serve with it. Both are a MUST try! Great coffee, great food, cute atmosphere, and genuinely nice people. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for a good local coffee shop!

Extremely disappointing first and last visit…read more I walked in expecting a simple coffee, but the customer service was incredibly disappointing. The barista was playing games on his phone while I was speaking to him, and I could clearly see that he was still on his phone because of the way he was positioned. I was already frustrated by the lack of attention, but things got worse after I finished ordering. After I tapped my card, I was told that there had been a mistake and that I had only been charged 9 cents, so I needed to come back and pay again. Mistakes happen, and I would have completely understood if he had simply apologized and handled the situation professionally. Instead, he continued playing on his phone while dealing with me. The entire interaction came across as incredibly rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Customer service should be the bare minimum, especially when someone is taking the time to come into your establishment and spend their money. Unfortunately, this experience was enough to make me realize that this would be my first and last visit. There are plenty of coffee shops where customers can get good coffee and basic courtesy.

Would come back again and try a coffee based drink instead next time!

Almost horrifyingly so. The other issue I had was the grilled shrimp salad. Easily the worst salad I had in my life.

Then they had all kinds fruits that didn't compliment the taste at all. Think about it: grilled shrimp, beef jerky bacon, fruits like strawberries and blueberries? I love all those things ... except bacon beef jerky but to put it all in a salad? Gross.

Unfortunately I was disappointed by the flavor of the coffee. There was no hint of rose at all.
