The service was very unfriendly and almost felt like they were mocking me for my order.

I ordered the blueberry crumb latte off of their specials board outside, and was sad to not taste any blueberry. Overall, I will not be returning. There are so many other good coffee shops in the area for similar prices that have better drinks and better service.

When you enter there a few areas to sit around and up at the front you can see the menu on the TV and through the glass you can see the puffs that they have available. I've only ever gotten the puffs and the cakes. They have a few different flavors (matcha, black sesame, Biscoff, oreo, etc.) and I've tried most if not all of them and they're all fairly good, not too sweet. In my opinion they taste a bit better once refrigerated for a few hours. The tres leches and strawberry matcha cakes are good as well, again, not too sweet. I'd like to try the soft serve sometime. A bit on the more expensive side so I only go there when the craving for the Asian style puffs are there. The service overall was good as the people working the front don't mind explaining the flavors of the different types of items they have for sale.

In all my many visits to Princeton, I somehow have not visited Rojo for a caffeine pick me up. I…read morewas on the hunt for a new-to-me cafe where I could get an iced latte and get some work done. Yelp brought me right to Rojo's! I double checked that they had public wifi before ordering and then found a spot along the window to sit. They have a simple menu with everything you'd want from the basics to a few seasonal drinks, but I stuck with my go to oat milk latte. What's to love: -The staff was friendly and kind and my iced latte came out super quick. -There isn't too much seating, but what they have they made cozy and perfect for person to sit, hang out, chat with friends, etc. -My iced latte was pretty good! Good to know before you go: The wifi was terrible, unfortunately. I had to pack up and find another place to work because I could just not get any sort of internet. That, plus there being no bathroom makes this a less than ideal spot for remote workers/students looking to hunker down. They are right on Palmer Square (next door to Bent Spoon) and would be the ideal spot to grab a drink and sit outside.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to try any of their pastries, which I see them posting on Instagram all the time. But I will definitely be back to try more drink drinks and all the different pastries that they have to offer! If you're looking for a quiet cozy café, this is 100% a place you need to stop by!!
