My son and I were waiting for someone at the airport and had some time to kill, so we decided to…read morecheck out Deseo Coffee Shack. There's a large parking lot, but I could see parking being a challenge during peak hours. The "shack" is charming and the interior is vibrant and inviting. Seating is limited inside but there's more outside. The staff was friendly and helpful. The menu had a variety of enticing options, but I went with the staff's recommendation of El Paisano sandwich and my son ordered the El Chicano sandwich. I also got an iced almond milk latte with honey and cinnamon powder and my son got an iced Americano. My El Paisano was very tasty. It usually comes with chorizo, but I requested it without. Without the chorizo, the only protein left is an egg, which isn't enough for me so I should have asked for an additional egg on my sandwich. My latte was solid. My son liked his sandwich and Americano as well. We enjoyed sitting outside, taking advantage of the lovely patio weather we had back in May. They have a complimentary water station which was a thoughtful touch.

To get here, there are parking lots nearby where you have to pay to park or street parking around the area. Inside, they have a nice setup with some seating and then an additional patio with more seating. Wifey and I ended up getting a spread consisting of the Sunny Burrito, Ham & Cheese Croissant, Lemon Bar, and a Strawberry Matcha. Everything we had was amazing and it was great fuel to start our day. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming.

The restaurant itself is small but they have a back lawn area with tables. Front service was quick and we got our food pretty fast too. Our food was good and we enjoyed the drinks. The *spicy Paloma was actually pretty spicy so I wouldn't recommend if you don't like it like that. The coffee cake was super dense also. Highly recommend coming here early and enjoying a nice breakfast/brunch. They close early and get packed so heads up!

I unfortunately didn't get the name of the barista working but he was kind, made good conversation, and came out quick with our drinks! They deliver your drinks to wherever you're sitting which is nice of them to do. I love the aesthetic and that seating does have outlets so you could definitely come here for a while to study or chat with friends. Not necessarily a Crete problem but parking is quite limited and turning into the lot can be confusing.

If you're getting a mani or a pedi next door, they can deliver it to you. My daughter says that's where she first stated a strawberry matcha and loved it. I personally can't get on board with those but she loves it. I loved the clean space, simple decor, nice staff.

It features lots of eclectic art on the walls, individual tables to work from, and comfy couches to lounge in. It felt cozy and inviting. They offer cool events, which I appreciate (coming up is plant bingo, July 11!) My coffee was very tasty, and I'm happy to report they have decaf options! Food took a little bit of time to heat up, but it was good. Not great, but good. There's a big roaster, I assume you can watch them while they roast, unless they do it outside of open business hours. Service was just ok. Not unpleasant, but not super-friendly either. I don't need to have anyone go out of their way to engage with me, but I generally like to have a smile, at least. Overall I did enjoy my visit, but at over $50 for 2 coffees and 2 breakfasts (a fritatta, pictured, and a breakfast burrito), this felt like a bit of a splurge.

With a huge outdoor space including games, plenty of seating, and some cute shops, there's something for everyone and it's a great place to hangout. As someone who values plant-based options, I truly appreciated the care and inclusion on the menu. I tried the avocado toast, a vegan donut, and a dirty chai latte with oat milk. All delicious! I came for coffee in the morning and returned later for a First Friday event. This isn't just a coffee shop, it's a fun community space that cultivates connection. I'll be back soon!

Honeycomb is a walk up window with some great drink options and some food items. They have a nice patio with an amazing mural and even a cute little free library. We opted to take our drinks to go since it was already pretty hot out. There is some covered seating which is great, but I can imagine spending a good amount of time out here during cooler temps. Service was friendly and great. Our drinks were great.

The gentleman that helped me in front to decide what i wanted was very nice and informative. They have been consistent in their service and food.

Was not greeted by any staff (although at least 4 walked past me without even a head nod), had no idea what the menu was or pricing. Located a girl standing in front of a register and asked her where the menu was ~ she pointed and said over there... There were 4 different cards sitting where she pointed. (The red one's are for food.) I randomly order something. (Espresso over ice with whole milk ~ received it with oat milk took a taste and yucked out of that. Directly into the dumpster at the back of the parking lot. ) I could have went back in there but for $6 it wasn't worth my time. If you are a regular, they seem to treat them very nice.

Some of my favorites were the lemon blueberry olive oil mini pastry, the berry crumble cake and the caramel macaroon. My son enjoyed the blueberry muffin for breakfast and although we were eating breakfast at The Coronado, the owners own both establishments, so we could bring the pastries to our table. I also left my breakfast at The Coronado to go back to Dark Hall because I learned they were going to have cinnamon rolls at 10am, which was in a few minutes! That roll was also amazing! Solid pastries and I can't wait to come back!

The decor is definitely unique and gives the place a cool, moody atmosphere that sets it apart from your average café. While we didn't end up ordering any pastries, they looked quite appetizing in the display case. The service was friendly and efficient, and the location right next to the Coronado is convenient. It's a nice place to grab a drink, though it didn't quite blow us away. Three stars.
