"I really appreciated the excellent service, and felt valued and well taken care when getting my chai tea latte. Love it and definitely had a rich taste, & The ambiance was pleasant, and loved the atmosphere."
"Let's start with it's about time!! Great Gelato. Cute little tavern. Great people here! We have tried all their flavors now in our visits. Even the ones I would normally not get I actually liked! Places like this is what Buckeye needs! Keeps up with the old Historic feeling of Buckeye but with great modern taste! And hours of operation. Love that they don't close at 6pm or whenever they just want too. This is becoming a weekend hit for us. Dinner at The Tack Room and then Dessert at The Gelato Tavern! Finally places I don't mind spending money at in buckeye!!!"

"I came across this place on accident the other day when I was trying find a different coffee shop, and I'm so glad I did! It is located in the Newton plaza, which also has some other restaurants around. Parking is available, but it's not a huge lot. This book store had a wide variety of books as well as gifts, and other unique items. They also have a bar that serves coffee drinks and alcoholic drinks. There was a cooler with seltzers and beer for purchase too! I tried the Bluberry Matcha for Sal and it was delicious! They make their own syrups and the blueberry one was very tasty. Definitely on the sweeter side, I would probably ask for less syrup next time, but so delicious! Mia was very helpful, and also let me sample the White Mocha Latte Ale they had on draft. It was very unique and flavorful. I also talked to Peter at the Changing Hands area of the store and learned about their book buy back program. I'm thrilled to have learned about this spot and can't wait to come back soon! Highly highly recommend!"
"After finishing a nice 2.5 mile loop hike at Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area, Jim, Erin, Gayle and I drove into Cave Creek and enjoyed a very pleasant outdoor lunch at the somewhat ecclectic Grotto Cafe. We found it on Yelp and were not disappointed!The Grotto Cafe system works by ordering your food and beverage at a counter and then having it delivered at your table, either inside or outside. As it was such a nice day, we found a nice shaded outdoor area and relaxed while watching the lunch crowd go by. We did have to guard our chairs as we all didn't sit down at once. I had a Cuban and a beer (pictured), while I lost track of what the other choices were as I was in deep concentration over my most delicious sandwich. We all were quite pleased with our selections and promised to return if we were ever in the area again."
"They have specialty lattes, seasonal ones too, smoothies, lemonades, tamales, breakfast sandwiches, gelato cookie sandwiches, and baked goods. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was extremely friendly and nice!We enjoyed the Blueberry Basil Lemonade the most. The Green Chicken Chile tamale was great. The Pistachio Latte definitely needed more pistachio. The Chicken Chipotle tamale was good but needed more chipotle."
"I needed a place to plant myself for a couple of hours and get some work done. After a quick search on Yelp, I found Sweetwaters Coffee and Tea. The bright, spacious, and open environment is perfect for working, studying, or catching up with friends. It's great for groups as it has a large table near the entrance. In fact, a meetup group occupied that table during my visit. I believe you can reserve it in advance.Since I had a big brunch earlier, I wasn't hungry for a meal, just something light. The friendly staff answered my questions, and I opted for the Dreamy Cold Brew, their most popular cold brew. It's their Straight Up Cold Brew combined with vanilla syrup and swirled with rich cream. The cold brew was smooth and slightly sweet. It was just what I needed!"
"Went here for a Yelp elite event and loved the overall experience. Overall I would recommend this place from the core of my heart & taste buds.Here are my takes:Food/Drinks: I got the fancy farmhouse and the masala specialty drink. Both were very well presented and tasted great. This is a unique cafe find with very unique menu that I have never seen anywhere else. This place is maybe the best cafe I have ever been to in Phoenix City. Great experience. Service: The staff is one of the nicest you would interact with. Very welcoming and they go above and beyond with everything. We in fact went a day early but we reached after closing time. They offered us an iced tea instead for free since their kitchen was closed.Ambiance: Great interior decor and unique take on every element of the place. It's romantic as well as great for kids and business folks. Hygiene: Top-notch cleanliness overall from seating to the counters, everywhere. Price: The price may be a little over average for the food items at least but it's about the quality of the items and also very unique menu items. I see myself be regular here since this is just a mile away from my office location."
"The coffee here is flavorful. I always have to stop by when I'm in Avondale to get their iced vanilla latte. You can taste the difference in their coffee compared to other places. The employees are always in good spirit and this place beats any coffee spot in the area ."
"First off, this is a college cafeteria and it makes no qualms about that. Secondly, this is an amazing lunch place for foodies on a budget. Not only is it based on sustainable, local produce sourced daily, their prices are insane. I bought a huge plate of salad, fruit cup, large iced coffee and a coffee cake for barely 8 dollars. And it was all huge servings and delicious.The atmosphere is crisp and clean and decidedly modern without being too cheeky or smirky about it. You still have all the food stations you remember from state run institutions like the salad bar, the pizza bar, the hot meal bar and the deli counter. The baked goods and coffee stand is a little across the ways. I rode my bike from work, excited after reading about the cafe in Edible Phoenix that I could finally have a quick lunch place to go to that wasn't fast food. There were helpful signs around the driveway but hard to find parking for my bike. I was overwhelmed by the set up when I first got in and probably freaked out the poor employee ordering a Greek Salad at the salad stations b/c I was overwhelmed by the size of his entree. However, for $3.25, I got a huge half salad that had: quinoa, flax seed, sunflower seeds, local goat cheese, fresh cut peppers, tomatoes and spring mix with a just made cilantro dressing. Incredible. The fruit cup I bought for $1.75 tasted like real fruit, they had plenty of soy milk for my iced organic coffee and the coffee cake was delicious and huge; I shared it with 3 co-workers! It tasted truly home-made too, you could actually taste the egg, butter, milk, brown sugar, etc that made the silky textured dessert hard to resist.The phrase is over-used a lot, but considering very few people know about this place, it is truly a hidden gem and worth you getting to know it and their admirable mission. After all, you gotta love a lunch place with compost-able plates and cups!"
"Q: What's a coffee's favorite spell? A: Espresso Patronum!Life begins after coffee.As soon as I saw their menu on Instagram, I knew I had to stop in. A honey lavender espresso was ordered and quickly consumed. It had a strong coffee starter with a hint of lavender at the end. Very nice and aromatic. I dig.This place is great. I think it has a total of three seats inside, and it has just enough room for a counter and their equipment set-up. If you're looking for a place to do some schoolwork or something, this probably isn't the place for you. They advertise themselves as takeaway coffee, so do it! Take your delicious coffee away and go live your life!Also worth noting: They offer crystal boba here for your drinks"
"I stopped by here earlier today with my mother-in-law, wife and our twins for our morning coffee. Every Sunday morning we try to hit up a new local coffee shop and on this morning we decided to go to coldwater coffeehouse and bakery. This coffee shop is located in old town Avondale and the outside of it is nondescript. We even had a tough time finding it and without their sign on E Western Ave, might have had even more trouble. The inside of this shop is cute with hardwood floors and a couple of different dining rooms. They have a place with fresh vegetables for sale and then an area with baked goods as well. Their coffee area also has a display case filled with baked goods. For my coffee on this morning I went with a honey and cinnamon latte while both my mother in law and wife went with iced peaches and cream lattes. Finally my twins picked a three pack of churro muffins to split between themselves and with the last one for their cousin later. The muffins here were quite good as evidenced by the fact that neither of my twins wanted to share and they both finished theirs respectively. While my son wasn't paying attention I snuck a bite and it was good as it was moist and sweet with some cinnamon and sugar on the outside. My coffee here ended up being delicious too. It reminded of a horchata like base with the cinnamon flavor present but with honey flavor coming through as well. Then the coffee was also present and came through as a rich background flavor. My wife also really enjoyed her cold peaches and cream latte.The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Everything that we had here, both the baked goods and our coffee was great."
"Just a heads up that "traditional boba" here is Honey Boba. At Mochi Fresh and I-tea, Brown Sugar Boba is the "traditional" kind that is chewy and almost black. I wrote a review earlier and deleted it shortly after (before I saw the business response so I'm assuming they responded to tell me the same thing I'm saying now) because I saw a recent photo that must be on their counter somewhere saying that their brown sugar boba is a crystal boba. I think it might help if on their main menu they call it "Brown Sugar Crystal Boba" to make it more clear (the way it's written on the small sign). Right now on the main menu it is called Brown Sugar Boba so I thought I was getting the chewy tapioca kind that I am used to ordering at other places in Tempe. Now I know for next time."

I had this spot bookmarked for a late night option on my BFF trip to Phoenix and it did not disappoint. We weren't sure what to order and asked about the lotus sauce mentioned on the menu and they promptly served up a spoonful of warm biscoff/ cookie butter / speculoos. It was delicious and comforting so we opted for the lotus crepe and added banana and strawberry. They are pricey at $15 each, but you can definitely split with two or three people.We sat on the large patio where students studied and others chatted with friends. It's a chill spot for dessert! The crepe itself arrived warm with that lovely springy chew you expect with a fresh crepe. Lotus sauce and white chocolate are pretty sweet, but the fresh fruit helped balance the flavors. I also appreciate that they add whipped cream on the side so the crepe doesn't get soggy. Street parking and the road is quite busy.

Sooo good. I love that downtown BuckeyeIs becoming a whole vibe. Refurbishing the town without losing history is a huge deal and The Gelato Tavern is a great part of that. Adorable shop, bright and airy. Good seating variety and games to play. They have a nice variety of flavors to choose from as well as coffees and affogato. Their vanilla bean is the bees knees!! So good, so balanced, so smooth. The young man working the counter was helpful, well informed, personable and efficient. Gelato Tavern is totally worth a trip to Buckeye and a no brainer if you're already in the area.

Such a great environment to work and enjoy great food/snack and drinks. The staff is pretty friendly as well. The best part it's also connected to a bookstore so if you need a well needed break it's a great spot to look around and find trinkets.

This was my first visit to the Grotto, it is very popular, and therefore busy! The patio is dog friendly which I love, they even have special treats in the mailbox for your furry friends! The food came out fast, I had a BLT, the bacon was cooked perfectly, tomatoes were ripe, and the lettuce crisp! It was delicious! Hubby had the Cuban sandwich, he really enjoyed it as well! I subbed the chips for sweet potato fries, they tasted house made, and were some of the best I've had! Service was attentive, even though they were busy, nothing was overlooked.

They say "don't judge by it's cover" and that should be the slogan for this coffee house. This was a place we were meeting with some of my coworkers and a vendor. First the bathroom is right at the front door, which is kinda weird but the design was so cool they are forgiven. The place is designed and decorated very nicely. I had an ice coffee and deviled eggs with caviar. It was as good as it sounds. The service was fast and friendly. They were getting ready for a Yelp Elite event and I was telling them I wish I had known, I would have signed up for it prior to coming to AZ.

"Family owned donut shop. Someone had given us some of their donuts, and we knew we needed to order them for a small get together we were having. When we went to pick up our order donuts were just being being finished. We were a little early, and appreciated that they wanted us to have the freshest product. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. We ordered too many donuts. Thankfully these donuts for still fresh the next day. Quality donuts. Filled donuts are plentifully filled. Raspberry filled donuts tased like raspberry candy. Lemon filled donuts were my favorite. Lemon filling was on the tart side. It reminded me of a lemon tart or lemon meringue pie. Donuts themselves are fluffy. Glaze is light. A sweet product that isn't cloyingly sweet."
"Top Fuel Espresso serves fresh and locally roasted coffee. Their menu offers a variety of options, from drip coffee and lattes to frappes, smoothies, and Italian sodas. They also have a selection of bagels and pastries. They source all of their equipment, beans, baked goods, and other necessities right here in the valley.I was passing by and needed a quick pick-me-up or "fuel" I should say. I was greeted by a friendly barista upon entering. The space is welcoming and has a cool fuel and car theme throughout. I'm a creature of habit when it comes to my coffee and ordered my go-to drink, a honey cinnamon oat milk latte. Though I typically order it hot, I decided to switch it up and go for iced this time. The latte hit all the marks and was exactly what I needed.I'm already looking forward to my next visit, where I plan on trying their coffee flight!"
"I am a big lover of coffee and have been to many Press Coffee locations in the past. This was my first visit to their Roastery location in Phoenix. It is a nice space that is two levels with plenty of seating. The second level has wood flooring and is an open-air concept. The atmosphere is really chill and a great place to network or study. I appreciate coffee shops like Press that are passionate about putting out a good cup of coffee. Press Coffee has become a staple here in the Valley since they started out 15 years ago. They have good relations with their farmers and work hard to put out a quality product. I am a latte with no sugar or flavors or black coffee type of person. I do not do blended coffee drinks because I want that pure coffee taste in my cup. So knowing that I am getting the freshest cup of coffee is important to me. In addition to their coffee menu, Press has an assortment of pastries and breakfast items to pair with your coffee drink.I came here for their Coffee 101 class that they hold on the second level. Every time that I think that I know a lot about coffee, some coffee expert teaches me something new. The guy who ran the class was knowledgeable and passionate about coffee. We learned about what makes a quality bean and what to look for in purchasing your coffee. There was a lot of sniffing and tasting involved in this class. We were also given a tour of their roasting area and learned about the coffee roasting process. These classes are a lot of fun, especially when you get a group of people together. You can sign up for them on their website.Press Coffee has a monthly coffee subscription that allows you to get a bag of coffee beans delivered to your home."
"Updating my review because they changed locations and this new spot is nice and big! Tried to get here from 16th st but it's easier from Camelback, though there is a way from behind the car wash.They are on TooGoodToGo so my friend and I reserved some bags and came in one weekday afternoon before closing. We got vegan surprise bags and they came with a boxed meal and a dessert. Service was great and we also got some drinks. I got their Frank's ocean which is a lemonade with light ice and 50% sugar. Refreshing and good. My friend got their Butterfly Cold Foam which I tried some and the foam was nice. The food was rice, onion rings, fried purple yam, and fake chicken. It was really good! Had a teriyaki flavor and they had a variety of hot sauces available. The dessert (pain au chocolat) was so delicious, I was pleasantly surprised it was vegan. I would definitely go back and get that again and try some other items!"
"The only real downside to this place is the downtown parking situation. Their bagels are fantastic, and they have one of the best rosters of schmears anywhere around. I like their service and their vibe. It's always friendly and pretty quick, and everything is super tasty. The red pepper schmear is my favorite, but you can't really go wrong. For those who don't think a bagel is filling enough, they have sandwiches with more involved ingredients."
"It's honestly my fault for even coming here. I was expecting terrible cold food and old food with a bunch of teenagers working but I wasn't anticipating how rude and careless they are and how they are just playing around at night. I would stay away from this location all together if you care about not your health but your food being sanitary."
"Fun, and different but with same old menu! I typically come for coffee and ambience both of which are great! Staff is also pretty nice and good! During the day-there seems to be lots of folks doing the work and atmosphere is just right for it!!"
"Great coffee shop in Tempe. I park on 8th St on ASU football game days and have walked by this shop many times. I finally made a stop here one day and glad I did. I have been looking for more coffee shops to hang out at since moving to the area. These baristas here at Infusion are both friendly and very knowledgeable about coffee and tea. You can tell that this place has put in a lot of man hours into creating a unique menu and perfecting their drinks. The menu at Infusion has all of the classic coffee and tea drinks. It also has a variety of specialty drinks that are quite inventive. The few times that I have come here I have struggled with deciding what to order because I want to try all of these creative drinks. The San Marino coffee machine that they use here is a strong, dependable espresso machine that is manufactured in Italy. I like that they offer coffee workshops here at Infusion. I have taken courses on coffee at other coffee shops and will have to look into taking one of them here. The owner has many years of experience in the coffee business. I would like to get better at brewing up my own specialty drinks at home.Infusion's coffee shop itself is very inviting and cozy. There are lots of ASU students studying here. I love camping out in coffee shops with a book and a relaxing atmospheres like the one that they have here is perfect for me. They have all sorts of merchandise along with bags of coffee and tea to take home. Infusion is big on how they source their coffee and tea and you will take home quality beans that come directly from the farmers. Even though Infusion Coffee & Tea has been around a few years, it is a new experience for me. I appreciate coffee shops who perfect their craft and use the highest quality of ingredients. I also appreciate creativity - especially in my food and drinks. I look forward to a return visit."
"Hubby and I had brunch here today. It's very newly opened where Matty G's was.We were seated right away. The place is very clean. The staff are friendly and welcoming.Hubby & I both got iced tea. Hubby got the wingdinger breakfast. I got the hash breakfast. Hubby said the hash browns on the bottom were crispy. He said it was bland. The spicy sausage gravy was not spicy at all. He said the only spice to it was the pepper he put on it. He was super irritated that we had 3 kinds of hot sauce on the table, sugar, salt & pepper, but you get ketchup in a small container, and they give you 2 small containers of jam for the toast.I got the hash with hash browns, over medium eggs, and sourdough toast. The hash was very bland. The eggs weren't over medium. The hash browns were crispy and good. The toast was good as well.All in all, there's no reason to go back. We will continue to go to our favorite place, Sunny's Breakfast and Lunch."
"No reservations but a wait list.We wanted a late breakfast so we headed here at noon on a Sunday.We added ourselves to the waitlist. Just remember to tell the host/hostess that everyone in your party has arrived before doing so.After a short wait we were seated.The place was crowded although there were tables available outside if you were willing to survive the 100 degree heat.I ordered eggs Benedict with bacon. That was delightful and cooked to perfection. There was a good amount of bacon and the potatoes were a tasty accompaniment.The wait staff were very attentive and the meal was a great success.Parking should be easy as the Biltmore has a large parking lot as well as covered parking close by (less than 200 yards)."
"Idk why this location has such a bad review everytime I go here my drinks are ON POINT! And they're super fast and friendly!"
"Hadn't stopped into Hava Javae in ages! But had just gotten a blowout at Drybar just next door and had to walk away with a coffee. They have an extensive menu and they're happy to really adapt to make you anything you want. I was greeted by both individuals in there and was quite chipper about it.On the left side of the pictured menu (which I will take A pic of next time) there seemed to be some specialty drinks, and as I was on a Zoom celebrating Hispanic Heritage month, I opted for a Mexican Mocha (which she let me know they add chocolate, cinnamon, and milk of choice to) with oatmilk. I noticed the oat milk is $1 more as opposed to the .75 for almond, soy, coconut alternatives. She said "it's a hot commodity these days" - she wasn't lying. Nonetheless, I grabbed a medium and it was a large plastic cup. The large is extra large, and the small still looks pretty sizable compared to other well known coffee spots... I always ask for light ice because I don't like my cup to be filled with ice more than coffee, and she was glad to do that, and asked for a smaller pump of chocolate, so as to watch my sugars. She made it quickly, and it was definitely yum. Wasn't the best Mexican mocha I've had but the cinnamon was wonderful. I couldn't tell you what was missing, don't get me wrong, it was definitely delicious but I was ok. It was so delicious in fact that I ordered another with an extra shot and half sweet for my friend as a surprise and she LOVED it. She said it was perfect and was absolutely going to wake her up.The service and coffee were tasty. And I heard a woman rant about how it was one of the first coffee shops open in Phoenix! So there is a long standing history with the place. Come try a cup, and try the Mexican mocha and let me know what you think!"
"If you're looking for an Instagram worthy but still delicious coffee experience, this is your spot! This is a coffee truck and they update their location and hours on Instagram, but they usually stay at the same location. It was super crowded when I went but the ladies in the truck were super efficient and made sure everything came out right. I can't remember the name of my drink but it was like a caramel latte with blue cold foam on top, edible flowers, and little sparkly butterflies (also edible, and not real butterflies!). Definitely a place to go for a cute pick-me-up!"
"What an absolute community gem this place is! Their coffee never disappoints. I have been going here consistently since I've been back in town and enjoy their cold brew, drip and matcha. I love that their matcha is unsweetened and high grade. There's not one thing I've gotten that I haven't liked. The homemade granola, biscotti, cinnamon bun and sandwiches on croissants/bagels are delicious. This place has incredible attention to detail when it comes to their recipes. The staff is always so friendly, warm and welcoming. The aesthetic is charming, relaxing and comfortable. All the things you want in your local cafe."
"I've been here a few times. It always seems to be busy but love that you can grab a tag, sit down, and order and pay at the table. I've had the cold brew and banana bread latte (ordered it half sweet), both were super good. I like the eggs with prosciutto and mushrooms. It's very different than anything I've ever had. I keep wanting to get the bagel and lox and the ricotta pancake but have went back for the same thing both times. As well, I've had a couple of desserts. They were hit or miss for me. I had the lemon bar. The crust was amazing but the lemon (personal preference) I prefer more tart over being really sweet. The cheesecake was fairly good. The bagel the day I had it was very, very chewy and almost hard to eat (but still had great flavor). It's slightly loud which I don't mind. I worked here both times with no issues. I do plan to come back again."
"Seriously delicious authentic Puerto Rican food. My wife and I love going to PR this time of year and have for the past 6 years but decided to take a staycation this time around and found ourselves still craving the food. This gem happens to be down the street and we will definitely be coming back again and again. Delicious empanadillas, mofongo and desserts!"
"Date: Sunday, July 2nd, 2023Time: around 12:15pmReason: MacaronsI adore french macarons. Whenever I'm on vacay, I always search bakeries to see if there's a new place that sells them. (Well new to me.) I was having brunch down the street and decided to swing by here first to grab some treats. Unfortunately, I think this is a breakfast spot, so there were not a lot left. I believe I just grabbed one of each flavor and a coffee. The mini macarons were $2 each while the normal sized one - French Chocolate Macaron was $4.25.Texture wise, they had a slight chew. Tho they were very airy and crumbled / broke easily. I can't recall the flavors that day, but I think one of them was lemon which was probably my fav. I adore tart desserts / sweets.I read a lot of good things about their macarons. If I ever find myself in the area early, I'll definitely stop by to see if they have more of a selection then.REVIEW #3459"
"It was a hot, hot day in Downtown Phoenix. So much asphalt and so little shade. I managed to walk around for a bit, but went back to the car way before my meter expired. This coffee shop was close to where I parked, so I went inside for a bit for refuge. Press is located on the ground floor of a television station building along E Van Buren Street. I'm not familiar with the area, but I saw a few nearby parking garages if there are no meters available. They have a small patio outside with two chairs. The interior space is minimal and modern. Not the coziest place, it kind of feels like a classroom. It was fairly empty on a Saturday at 1PM, with one other patron typing away on their laptop on the counter table and another waiting for their drink to be made. The menu consists of your typical espressos, teas, pour overs, and cold brews. They also have these Shakers, which I think are just chilled and shaken caffeinated beverages. Decent amount of pastries available. Iced vanilla latte was pretty much perfect. Adequate amount of ice with just the right creaminess from the whole milk to compliment the flavorful expresso. It was very enjoyable, especially with the high temps outside. No such thing as bad PRESS!"
"Cute, solid breakfast/brunch spot in Old Town. There are 3-4 street parking spots in front of the restaurant, and plenty of free street parking around. We came on a Sunday around 12:30pm and waited 20 minutes after we got on the waitlist. Not bad! It was definitely very lively and there was a musician playing, although, I couldn't hear him over the chatter and buzz. I could barely hear my friend sitting across from me! The seating is cozy, particularly where we were sitting, alongside the wall to the bathroom. Service was prompt, which is great! Although it seems trivial, I was turned off by the plastic cups they served water in. For a nice Scottsdale restaurant, I can't get a glass? Also not eco-friendly/cost effective.We ordered the summer special, Pina colada pancakes ($17) and the cinnamon roll pancakes ($17). We paired them with the cranberry-lime mimosa ($12) and screwdriver ($12). Our order came out within 15 minutes. The pancakes were smaller in diameter than the average Ihop pancake. The pina colada pancakes definitely tasted like a pina colada and I appreciated the toasted coconut on each pancake. No complaints as to the cinnamon roll pancake either."
"Was in the area and had to swing by and check it out! This place did not disappoint, I had the mazapan latte and it was super delicious! I wish I had a crepe because others around me had one and it looked yummy. Looking forward to coming back and getting one and trying a new latte flavor. The two ladies working were super sweet and knew both English and Spanish."
"In a neighborhood where coffee bars either keep closing or downgrade their service, Songbird is left as perhaps the most authentic cafe Roosevelt Row has to offer. What I love: They're consistently open early, at 6am, like a coffee shop should be. They are a comfortable third space in a world where those are dwindling, as evidenced by so many customers typing away on their laptops. My cacao nib infused cold brew wasn't what I came for, but I'm happy I tried it--it was perfect. Service is great, and I even met the owner, who was a really cool guy and deeply attentive to Songbird's sense of hospitality. If you love coffee, you MUST check this place out. There's a reason it's had so much staying power on Roosevelt!"
"Wow, this is such a happy place! It's like a genki explosion of Mexican kawaii!!! They have a selection of treats and delights that will make your toes tingle, now I just have to figure out which paleta to try first. The lady who assisted us was really helpful, I just wish that their paletas were actually labelled so that we could just browse them."
"Love a coffee shop with late hours! They close at 9pm Mon to Sat. And it was still lively at 8pm.They have lattes, frappes, smoothies, specialty lattes, teas, lemonades, crepes, and sandwiches.I had the Pumpkin White Mocha and it was a bit too sweet so I'll ask for half sweet next time.They also have a private room you can rent for meetings. Just ask about rates."
