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.

A friend of mine suggested this spot for a mid-morning breakfast, and I hadn't been here in years…read moreso I agreed. I read that their parking lot fills up quickly but that there's a public lot across the street, so I parked there and crossed over. This cozy restaurant was fairly busy and we perused the pastry case while waiting in line, lots of tempting treats. My friend ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes which are topped with blueberries. A lot of their menu items have pork in it, but they were good about substituting. The burrito usually has schreiners chorizo, hash browns, cheddar, sunny egg and chili oil with side of salsa verde. I asked for avocado instead of the chorizo. We brought our own drinks so didn't order any. We grabbed a table on their patio since the sun wasn't over our heads yet. It's nice out there and I think they have some fans going to keep the air flowing, and there was also a natural breeze. Our food came out and they were plated beautifully. My burrito looked good, but it had too much hashbrowns and also there wasn't any chili oil, which was a bummer. Maybe they normally put it on the chorizo so they forgot to add it to my avocado. The egg was runny which I like: The salsa verde was delicious; I love cilantro and it had great flavors. I tried the pancakes and they were fairly rich but I liked the tart lemon flavor and the blueberries, one of my favorite fruits. This is a nice place to meet up (small groups) and I'm glad I visited again.

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.

I stopped by Firecreek for the first time today and was incredibly pleased. The overall building…read moreseemed to be quite different than most of the coffee shops I've been to around this area and it was very refreshing. They have plenty of space to host cool events and it seems that they do with some upcoming event flyers posted everywhere! There is an upstairs area that was very enjoyable to sit and enjoy my coffee and breakfast burrito. Both of which were delicious, the coffee (Fireside Latte) was delicious. Not too sweet, coffee forward, and delightful. The burrito was large and very filling. Lat but certainly not least, the two gentlemen behind the counter were awesome! I look forward to coming back to share the experience with my wife!

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.

I've been wanting to try Xolo Coffee for months now and finally made the trek this weekend!!! There…read moreis a small parking lot out front shared with other businesses, including the tattoo/piercing shop next door "In The Streets Tattoo" nowned by the same folks as Xolo Coffee! I was specifically interested in their piercings (Side note, I asked if Xolo Tacos is also owned by them, but it isn't). I visited for the first time on a Sunday afternoon, just missing the late morning rush, so I had ample options to choose from regarding seating (there's couches, tables, stools)! As a first-timer who loves specialty coffees, I inquired about which drink might be the sweetest and best suited to my tastes, and through shared decision-making, we decided on the Azucar Morena! It's comprised of brown sugar and molasses, which satisfied my taste buds and coffee fix. There wasn't a wifi password sign anywhere, but upon inquiry, I received it and proceeded to chill for an hour or so before closing. I loved that they kept the door open to let in more natural lighting and fresh outside air on that serene Sunday afternoon. Overall highly recommend this coffee shop for delicious, unique specialty coffees. I can't wait to return to try more, including the pistachio espesso and cafe de olla! Or I might even stick to my azucar morena that I loved so much

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.

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!

I have wanted to try this place for awhile but it's always so busy on weekends. Went today…read more(Monday), wish I hadn't. 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. If you are new to their establishment ~ you don't matter.

So the reason why I posted the display case and not my actual order is basically because I got 1-2…read moreof everything in the display case! Everything was so delicious! 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!

I ordered off the seasonal menu and I didn't end up liking my drink, it sounded good but the flavors didn't work for me. I had the strawberry fields iced latte with oat milk. Not sure what about it didn't work. However, my guy ordered a lightly sweetened iced matcha latte with oat milk and it was perfect. So, when I go back and order a drink I like better, I'll update from 4 to 5 stars. And sounds like I messed up by not getting anything from the pastry case. Next time!! Dark Hall is a cool, friendly, local vegan coffee shop I'm glad I came in to support.
