Comment: Average quality coffee. I had the veg puff which was too oily. They have a wide selection that surprised me. They sell Indian snacks too.However, the place has a good vibe and is a nice hangout place with ample indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is friendly too.

Comment: I have been to this cafe three times. And every time something was wrong. Today I ordered: Latte, Boba tea, and watermelon lemonade, and sweets for children.First they made me an iced coffee, even though no one asked me when I ordered if I wanted it cold. When I said I wanted hot coffee, they made me a new latte, but it was very hot and the coffee was impossible to drink. I burned my tongue. And my coffee was not tasty!Boba tea was given to us after 10 minutes of waiting, I think they just forgot about Boba tea.The lemonade I ordered for my son smelled like rotten eggs and it contained a set of spices that were not mentioned anywhere. It was very disgusting 🤢 and the aftertaste stayed in my mouth for more than an hour ((((.I do not recommend this cafe.I was served by a husband and wife who dont seem to understand how to make drinks. The cafe needs a real barista!!!

Comment: Forgot to take a pic of my iced americano but this shop is great!!! Quiet, clean, free WiFi and outlets? What else can a productive manic ask for. The worker who served me was wonderful, excellent customer service and very interactive. Wish I lived closer to this place or else I would have become a regular customer at this shop at this point. Loved it!!! Will need to come back for another visit!!!

Comment: Tried to give this place a chance after seeing it in Yelp. Ordered an iced Gulab Jaamun Frappe. The drink was first of all not a coffee drink, I felt only milk and no flavors of syrup or coffee. Maybe another time, if I had a better experience, I will increase the ratings. Location is upscale and parking was available easily.

Comment: Had been to this place during a business meet. its a wonderful place to have the coffee. quite atmosphere and beautiful ambience. The baristas are very knowledgeable and do a wonderful job at making coffees. I got my perfect iced latte and some snacks. I tried a couple of other drinks and the service was pretty fast. Lavazza always stands out with its taste over Starbucks.

Comment: The place is off the hook. Their choice of items are top notch and even sporting creations that you can’t find anywhere else near by. And if the food and drink is not reason enough, their staff is Harding working, friendly and happy to provide recommendations. You have to try the Ricotta and Pistachio cheese cake.

The seating is dynamic in that its comfortable, yet perfect for getting a little work done by tablet/laptop. I had their plain (standard) black Lavazza coffee; it was tasty and exactly what I expected.

Comment: Stopped by this former Starbucks location, and it’s changed for the better. Bright, modern, clean, with an upscale feel. Such a treat, and hats off to the interior designer.Tried the almond milk latte and it was excellent. Service, also excellent.Seating is spacious and I could see myself getting some good work done here. But I prefer to relax and sip a latte.Only knock, street parking can be challenging at times and menu board does not match the elegance of the decor.Highly recommended, and will return when in the area.

Comment: This was formerly the Starbucks in Northpark apartments complex.I visited on. Sunday afternoon so it wasn’t too busy. My mom was getting a little bored at home so thought I get her out for a coffee and snack, our usual is Starbucks so wanted to mix it up.Ambiance and staff are nice.Latte is good, but nothing spectacular. We also tried lemon poppy cake and pistachio croissant. The cake was good. But croissant was not satisfying unfortunately. They warmed it up and all but center was too doughy, almost raw in some spots actually. The pistachio crème was tasty on its own, delicate flavor and not overly sweet. But with almost raw center it wasn’t a good match texture wise.Since it was my first time here I will try again in case it was an off day.

Comment: Second time I’m here and Coffee is simply not good - the taste is stale and it lacks the flavor that fresh coffee should have. Also please train staff how to make macchiato - they have no idea how to make it and were very confused - or remove it from the menu completely - why have it if you don’t know how to do it?! overall I expected more from the store that sells Lavazza coffee, I even wonder if they use some other beans for their espresso?

Comment: Without question the worst blended beverage Ive ever received. It was gross syrup with large chunks of ice and truly not blended at all (apparently they only taste good when the parts are combined properly). The interior of the place feels sterile and like they tried to make it look modern, but were a little cheap about it, so it really didnt end up having the desired effect. Ive never missed a starbucks so much in my whole life.
