Came here 2/8/26 and had such a great coffee experience! The service was good, I was immediately greeted upon entering. I ordered the Honey Comb Latte iced and it was made to perfection - I almost ordered a second! The barista helped answer all my questions since I was trying to decide what to order. The menu is plentiful, I can't wait to try other drinks. The coffee shop is very spacious with plenty of seating all over, and different types of seating arrangements. Lots of natural light and the music wasn't too loud either. There was construction being done on the road prior to turning in, and the parking lot can get busy. Overall, based on my experience, this is the perfect spot to get good coffee and study/work!

Coffee here is on another level. Authentic, robust, earthly and never overly sugared. Breakfast bites are delicious too especially the avocado toast. I have been on a London Fog kick and this place did me right. Stop in and grab a coffee. Whether you chill and enjoy the ambiance or just take it to go. Either way, you will be satisfied.

I stopped by this cafe to get some work done since there was a power outage in Spring, and I think I found my new favorite study spot when I'm in the area! This seemingly small cafe is actually quite spacious; the ambiance was quiet, and the service was friendly. They had a seasonal menu for the fall, so I chose to order the iced Tiramisu latte with oat milk, and the cup was coated in tiramisu (?) syrup. The coffee taste was a bit masked, but overall it was creamy, not too sweet, and had a mocha flavor! The Core Cafe had several unique flavors that I'd love to try, so I look forward to returning. :D

Breakfast bagel - jalapeño cheddar with scrambled egg on one side and avocado on the other, and it was absolutely delicious!!

My friend Janet and I stopped by this adorable café after our Saturday morning walk, and I think we may have found our new go-to spot. They had a great selection of pastries, and our hazelnut lattes were absolutely divine. I ordered the Breakfast Bagel - a cheddar jalapeño bagel with cream cheese, scrambled egg on one side and avocado on the other. I honestly didn't think all of that would go well together, but it was amazing! The flavors worked perfectly, and it was hearty and filling... exactly what I needed for a late-morning brunch. Janet had a regular croissant and loved it! She thought it was super fresh and flaky. Between the great coffee, delicious food, and cozy vibe, we're already planning to come back. Highly recommend!

Graham cracker latte - 7/10 - Honey and cinnamon - both flavors were strong but drink was a bit watered down Autumn bliss latte - 9/10 - Pumpkin , caramel, and cinnamon crunch - loved this one, could use a bit more coffee and pumpkin but overall good Baklava latte - 7/10 - Pistachio, honey, and butterscotch - i tasted mostly butterscotch, coffee could be stronger Sausage sandwich - 7/10 - Tasted like ones from Tim Horton, decent but nothing special Beef roll - 10/10 - Like a ground beef patty, very delicious Found a cafe with HALAL options and so many flavor options for coffee . I had mixed feelings about the coffee but I would possibly go back to try other flavors and more of their halal pastries. Great study/work spot if youre in the area!

Strawberry matcha

The Core Cafe has a cute/cozy interior decor with plenty of seating. Service was excellent. Strawberry matcha would have been perfect if the matcha wasn't powdery. They probably need to heat the water more or whisk more to better dissolve the matcha. If I'm ever in the area, I would return to try their coffee options.

Honeycomb Latte Graham Cracker Latte
Helaina H.

WHAT AN AMAZING CAFE! So much space to study or just hang out and the staff is so kind. The cheesecake?! Amazing. The coffee?! Perfect !! The honeycomb is so good and the graham cracker latte tastes like French toast! 10/10 would always recommend this place (& this was my first time)

Butter pecan shaken espresso
Brandon D.

Tried studying at a new coffee shop called the core cafe in spring since I was in the area. They have a lot of space available to study, and free wifi as well. I got one of their winter specials, the butter pecan shaken espresso. Honestly didn't really taste the butter pecan flavor but the coffee and espresso flavor overall was hitting.

Taste like Dubai chocolate
Linda K.

My hunny wanted coffee after our bagels so we went looking for a place at The Vintage and can't find Coco Crepes. Looked for coffee nearby on Yelp and found this place. Didn't look like much from the outside but inside was pretty cool. Service was outstanding and was very patience w us since it was our first time there. Made us feel welcome. We stop back by when in need of a place to study and coffee.

The cool black dog with bling and a patron

If you're looking for an amazing atmosphere for your brunch, your school report, a meeting between business Partners, or just a really great environment for your date. This is the spot, this is the best brunch experience that I've ever had. My mocha was perfect. They even used lactose free milk, which I truly appreciated it. Their breakfast platter was delicious. It wasn't too much or too little, It was just right. Not to mention the dog they have in the cafe is amazing. He even has his own bling-bling. He is the perfect dog, does not jump, Does not bark, does not lick, Doesn't scare, does not move lol

Classic breakfast
Razi A.

Finally made it out since I needed a place to work. Same nice layout as the previous establishment, but with a more focused offering with nice additions. The owner is very nice and talkative. The staff is also super nice. Food: I really enjoyed the classic breakfast. Great blend of classic and healthy. The potato roll and other items are tasty and unique. The desert looks great. Will have to try next time. Nice Turkish vibe. Turkish bagel is a great addition. Unique Coffee: Always high quality. Charcoal latte is interesting. I'm still trying the new stuff. Vibe: Great seating, outlets, lighting, music.

They have an inviting space, but the food was subpar. The mini pancakes were not freshly made, but I'd probably reheated because they're crunchy on the corners and not soft and very dry. The fresh fruit was delicious the. The eggs were the only highlight as they are while he's cooked. But $17 for a breakfast plate is disappointing for the quality that I received. Parking lot was busy, but yet there's parking not directly in front of the restaurant because it shares it with other retail stores The Stanford friendly, and the Services prompt probably really the only highlight. Note my rating system: 1 Star: I wouldn't recommend 2 Stars: Didn't hit my standards 3 Stars: Average (nothing special) 4 Stars: Above Average. Would recommend. Still looking for the 5 Star. 5 Stars: Top of their game. Great food. Great service. Would recommend and plan on returning.

I was recovering from a cold so I decided to order a hot herbal tea and was happy to see that they had such a huge selection of loose leaf teas to choose from. My friend also got one of their lattes and we couldn't resist getting a tiramisu before leaving. Overall, we liked everything and I think this place is worth a visit for that Kafeina latte. - Kafeina Latte (4/5): The lady told us that this latte was half white chocolate and half pistachio and we could definitely tastes both flavors. I really liked how they put a lot of pistachio pieces in the drink, giving it a crunchy texture. This drink is definitely on the sweeter side though, so keep that in mind. - Nutty Almond Cream Cinnamon Herbal Tea (4/5): I was very happy with the flavor of this tea. Like the name suggest, it tasted very almond-y and had a good amount of cinnamon flavored. There was also a tangy fruity flavor that followed and reminded me of spiced cider. - Tiramisu (4.5/5): I was really impressed with their tiramisu. The mascarpone layer was very nice and custardy, yet felt so light and refreshing. I also loved how strong the coffee flavor was which helped balance out the dessert and made it not too sweet. Service/Ambiance: Upon entering, I was really surprised by how pretty the interior was with the mixture of gold and wood. I'm not sure how pack this place usually gets because I came at an off time ( like 1 pm), but they had a good amount of tables and seating available. I did see a handful of people studying, so I think this would be a good quiet study spot.

I've…read moreordered the Wild Pistachio Latte about four times, and it hasn't been as good as the first time I tried it. On one occasion, I also had a not-so-great experience. I understood they were having power issues and were operating on a generator. Their tablet system appeared to be working, as I could see my order while placing it. I was making a large order for my coworkers and needed an itemized receipt. When I asked for one, I was told they couldn't provide it due to the power outage. I then asked if they could pull up my order on the tablet so I could take a photo of it, and I was told "yes, one second." However, after my order was ready and I followed up, the staff member seemed irritated and repeated that they couldn't provide a receipt because of the power issue. I clarified that I only needed to take a picture of the order on the screen, which I thought we had already agreed on. I also didn't realize that every add-on they offer comes with an extra charge. For example, when asked what kind of milk I wanted, it wasn't mentioned that 2% milk (which is typically the default) had an upcharge. Additionally, when a soft top was offered for an iced drink, it wasn't disclosed that it was a $1.50 extra charge. This was frustrating, as these add-ons were suggested by staff without clarifying the additional cost. While the issue was eventually resolved, I left feeling unhappy with the overall experience. I did return once afterward, but between the inconsistent beverages and the lack of transparency around pricing, I don't think I'll be coming back.
