Always searching for the best espresso when I travel, Covenant Coffee landed on my list…read more I love that Covenant Coffee is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and employing current and former foster youth. With every purchase you are giving a youth a chance at a new future. How cool is that! Coffee for a good cause. I loved the space and the coffee and took home a bag of beans from Brazil. The Americano was hot and delicious, and the service was amazing. I loved they have foster youth working in the store. Go, and tip heavily. It's a great coffee spot.

I only drink black coffee, but they offered many flavored/sweet drinks as well. They have a small menu of savory breakfast items which I really appreciate. I had a chorizo & egg burrito which was filling and pretty tasty. As I left I picked up a raspberry, pop-tart-like, pastry for my wife, and she said it was very good.

The space itself is pretty small with very limited seating; I've been several times and my go to order is the Vanilla dream protein smoothie it's smooth, filling and doesn't have the chalky protein taste. The banana match is another favorite. Drinks typically range from about $7-11. I've also purchased protein powder and their magnesium complex here. The supplements are on the pricer side. The staff has always been welcoming and friendly. Overall, if you're into protein coffee, matcha, or wellness products, NOU Bar is definitely worth checking out.

The person that took my order was very friendly and asked how long it would take me to arrive. I opted to pick up via drive thru so I didn't get to see the inside. The drive thru wait was minimal as there was a car in front of me. Unfortunately, the smoothies weren't the best. The flavor was lackluster and could barely taste any avocado flavor. The texture was more icy than creamy. The sweetness level was also below average. It also seems like they use ice/water? I didn't get any of the creaminess that I expected. It was quite disappointing so my quest for avocado smoothies continues.

Been coming here for years now and the Adeni Tea is hands down my favorite drink in town. I was…read morealready a milk tea kinda girlie in the boba universe, but this was the first beverage of theirs that I tried and it scratched a certain itch I'd been unconsciously craving. Something old-world maybe? Like a flavor that's existed for centuries and been passed down through time and so so many generations... and it's now landed in our corner of the world that's just a few blocks away? Globalization and the world within, for f' sakes! This place is truly brilliant. More recently, I'm only in town a few days out of the week, but I make a point to visit this location or their other location, Mokhamena on Panama, each day I'm here to, at a minimum, pick up two for myself--the first one is to function and the second is to savor. There was a time I'd pick up the party-size for my coworkers when I liked them... but alas, times have changed so more for me. The staff there are always friendly and awesome, and on days that I'm lucky enough, I get to actually enjoy the cafe. So grateful you guys are here and sharing flavors from across the world.

5* coffee .5* for the food…read morefound this place by total accident. I was in town for a wrestling tournament and decided to walk to the arena from my hotel. As I was walking I saw the sign for this place and was happy I did because my other coffee options were a fast food restaurant or the famous coffee chain. It was a bit confusing to locate. It was tucked away in the back of a commercial office space type building. Once inside the place was very clean and organized. Very minimalist design. I was only one of 4 total people inside. My order was taken quickly. I ordered an iced americano with a ham and cheese turnover. Coffee was on point. No notes. No complaints. The pastry however was not good. They asked me if I wanted it heated up. I said I did. I saw her put it in the microwave, and I assumed they turned it on. When I bit into it (I had already left and walked across the street) it was cold. Like cold cold. On top of that it was flavorless which made it worse. Stick to the coffee or make sure you check the temp of the food prior to leaving.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. I ordered a lavender latte with oat milk, and it was flavorful but not overly sweet. The food menu is small, with a few baked goods available. As a vegan, the only option I found was instant oatmeal with a selection of dried fruit and nuts to mix in. While I appreciated having a vegan option, I would love to see a few more plant-based choices added to the menu. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely return for the coffee and the comfortable space to meet with friends.

Then the pink dome desert (Mrs. Pink)... they did not have it. Finally, the guava dessert... THEY DID NOT HAVE IT. I asked if they were simply just out for the day. I was informed that "one day they just stopped making it" and that they no longer serve those items. It would be nice if such enticing pictures were removed if the item were no longer sold there. Using such items as the profile picture is quite misleading. Would have saved me some time as I did veer 30 mins out of my original destination just to try these non existent desserts.

As a bonus, they even have live music on select nights, which makes the experience even more enjoyable!
