Local Coffee Bar

Terrible coffee shop. Cramped location could barely stand where I was ordering. The matcha was awful and sweetened (real matcha is not) and extremely overpriced. Not worth it and will never go back.

Place is collab with Take Ur Seat, brilliant tbh! Tried the cookie butter and pandan latte! I had cookie butter latte somewhere else and liked it more. I could not taste the flavor at all which i was sad about. I really liked the pandan latte, delicious! Light and yummy!Never had a pandan latte before and I thought it was a unique idea. Yum! Not the strongest coffee if you want a pick me up though.

My order: Iced latte with oak milk and overnight oats! The coffee was a perfect consistency, very smooth with a great smell and no sour taste. The overnight oats were also solid, but I thought the strawberries could be a bit more fresh.Note to people who are looking for a study spot: This is a very busy and loud brunch restaurant (Take Your Seat) with very little seating! I was able to grab a seat because I arrived pretty early, but they give a 90-min limit for all guests. The wifi is stable and the ambiance is still great with noise cancelling headphones, but this is definitely more of a social spot. I will 100% be coming back to get some coffee for take-out though. Staff is very attentive and helpful :)

As I've said before, I really enjoy trying local coffee shops. We happened to be in the area so you know I had researched some local coffee shops to check out. I found a couple places, but LOCAL COFFEE BAR got me after seeing Pandan + Palm Sugar latte on the menu. I love pandan flavor and I had never heard of pandan flavored coffee so I was definitely intrigued.We ordered online through the link on their Instagram. After ordering, it said the order would take about 45 minutes. Initially we were like "really? 45 minutes?" But it only took about 15-20mins from ordering to getting our drinks. Which isn't bad considering the fact that they were very busy with customers, plus people still waiting to be seated. They're located inside a restaurant (whose menu looks so yummy that we decided to come back to try their food). But currently, it's all outdoor seating and only staff members are inside. I'm not sure if you can order food/drinks in person - but you should be able to since they've got employees stationed behind makeshift counters once you get inside. My boyfriend got the cookie butter latte which he enjoyed (rare since he's a coffee snob) and I got the pandan latte. So. Freaking. Good. You can definitely taste the pandan flavor but it's not too overpowering. Really enjoyed this drink. So sad that this place is so far from us. If it was closer, I already know I'd be getting coffee here a lot. But, I will definitely be stopping by for coffee whenever I'm (even just sort of) around the area.

I paid a little over $11 for 2 drinks, which were mediocre and nothing special: pandan palm sugar and a matcha sua da. My matcha sua da, came with a present inside, a short black hair, belonging to one of the male baristas!Too bad, I saw it on my way home, at least if I was there, I could've gotten my money back!No thanks!

Cookie butter is all you need to know.Was fantastic for a Monday morning and it was so yummy iced. I should have gotten a hot one since the AC was blasting in the shop and i was cold but the iced one was still really good.

**It is located inside Take Ur Seat** (took me a while to find) I came here to support a local small business and although I really wanted to like this place given their unique latte flavors, it just didn't do it for me...Pandan + plum sugar latte (hot) $5.50(According to their website: Pandan is a green leaf used in a lot of Southeast Asian desserts, it has a nutty and vanilla taste to it. The Palm Sugar adds the perfect amount of sweetness to this aromatic drink.)-Who would have thought pandan + Latte, but not what I expected. -This was one of the first places that I tried that incorporated pandan into a latte. I was really hoping for a more bold pandan flavor, but it was so faint like it was never even there. I even tried mixing my drink more to see if the flavors sunk to the bottom, but no just taste like a plain latte to me. -It didn't have that bold espresso punch I was hoping for nor was it sweet enough to my liking. -But with that said, as a "plain" latte it was pretty good, and although I like sweet lattes, I didn't feel the need to add more sweeter to it, but it is just not how I would normally have my lattes especially if I was expecting the PANDAN flavor to be there. (For reference, I am used potent pandan flavors that they have in Vietnamese desserts)-On the plus side, I am glad the espresso was not sour, and although not bold, it was very smooth to drink.Cookie butter latte (iced) $5-I liked this one a little more than the pandan latte, but not by much -I did like how it was sweeter and a good balanced latte, but again you can barely taste the cookie butter (more faint in my opinion compared to the faint pandan). In other words, it taste like a sweeter "plain" latte to me.-So as a "plain" latte, I would choose this over the pandan one.However, this is my opinion and maybe you will enjoy how their lattes taste with having that small hint of flavor. Definitely not worth the premium price if you are expecting a flavored latte.Setting: -Too bad there isn't indoor dinning because it is super cute inside!-They do have outdoor seating given it is inside Take Ur Seat and can have a delicious meal while enjoying some coffeeOverall: Staff was nice and gave good recommendations on the food side of the menu (highly recommend getting food from Take Ur Seat). But as for the coffee, I think they can improve on getting that PUNCH of potent flavor in their already good tasting lattes.

Unaware this place is inside Take UR seat which can get packed at times. Went at 8 am on a Saturday and got a table really quickly, got our order taken a few minutes later then the crowds showed up and it got a little slower on getting helped. Got the cookie butter latte iced which was delicious and the tofu mushroom bowl which was too much sauce in my opinion but still had a decent taste.

Found this hidden spot and I was pleasantly surprised! Staff was hella friendly and took the time to break down the drink menu and make some great suggestions. I ended up getting an iced cookie butter latte, light sweetness, with oat milk... it was so good! Awesome vibe and aesthetic here as well!

Came here on a Wednesday without checking the hours online to find out they're closed! Learned my lesson and checked hours for Thursday, Yelp said they were also closed (I mentioned to the staff so I'm glad the hours are changed now!). Finally came on Friday, ordered cold brew for my partner and pandan latte for myself. Cold brew was too sour and bitter for of our liking, will not order again. Pandan latte had an sweet herbal taste, I was recommended it as it may be the "nuttier" version of vanilla latte (something I usually order).. it's definitely not my taste! I'll try the cookie butter latte the next time I visit then, maybe that'll be better.
