Food & Drinks

Pros:

  • "Amazing coffee and specialty drinks."
  • "The product was absolutely delicious and still piping hot!"
  • "Americano had the perfect amount of foam and my girls oat milk latte met the seal of approval."

Cons:

  • "So now that I've been forced to spend a $1.50 fee to use your (in)convenient ATM machine to buy my cup of coffee, you don't offer a refill price for customers that wish to have their ceramic 'for here' drip coffee mug refilled."
  • "The coffee is too strong."
  • "Both sandwiches were greasy and subpar at best."
  • "The huevos racheros, which are essentially nachos, are an inedible heap of fried chips."
  • "Their cookie dough for their brookie is Pillsbury, actually."
  • "The sausage tasted like ground beef!! It was horrible."
  • "When the food arrived my avocado toast was sub par, more lettuce than avocados."

Pricing & Value

  • "They’re also on the top good to go app and I got a few good pastries for $4 at the end of the day."
  • "Had the oat milk honey cold brew and a cappuccino. Both were great!"
  • "A few items I get here regularly: Chorizo burrito, Tom's dirty chai, the ultimate, and the banana walnut muffin. All are excellent, and good portion sizes."
  • "Not only is the food fresh and tasty, the variety of options ensures there is something for everyone."

Cons:

  • "However, I just paid $6.10 for a small iced coffee with almond milk. That pricing is simply preposterous."

  • "Paid $8 for a cup of coffee."
  • "I paid $39 for two sandwiches and two drinks!!!! That’s not right."
  • "This place is extremely overpriced even compared to other local cafes."
  • "Expensive, even relative to Starbucks."
