Wonderful espresso, cozy location. Got the spectrum blend and it was rich, chocolatey and had the most incredible body. Really enjoyed it! The shop is quite small and the seats not the most comfortable. It's cozy and quaint, but this location is probably more suitable as a quick grab-n-go spot than to chill at. Nevertheless, worth coming to try out their coffee!

The service was fast, the barista gave great recommendations to my caffeine free friends lol. I had the horchata latte, too much of a cinnamon taste for me but enjoyed it.
