Decided to order some coffee from here and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered two cappuccinos and a hot chocolate. Their hot chocolate is definitely a Mexican hot chocolate style with hints ginger and black pepper! Extremely creamy too. The cappuccinos were very good and foamy, but just weren’t that hot at time of order. They did coffee art on top which was visually appealing but maybe not for the price point they were selling it at.

The place was clean and nice. Had a regular iced latte, which is pretty decent :).

Stopped by this coffee shop in the market while staying at Hotel Emma. We ordered an iced vanilla latte & a muffin. Both were good. Muffin was a little dry, but we also weren’t there first thing in the morning. Latte was a little sweet for my liking, but I could taste the espresso and the shot was pleasant. I would go back here.

This place is a gem within a gem! I had to try it because independently owned coffee places are the best. I placed my very particular order and it was PERFECT! Clarissa and Idalis are a powerhouse team. This place is a MUST! P.S. For all the lavender enthusiasts, they carry lavender syrup!
