Atmosphere: I have been here more times than I can count. I attended this specific Desert Oasis nearly 5/7 times a week consistently during my Winter 2024 semester. The service was fine; I had a total of 0 bad experiences. There was plenty of room for seating, and it was spaced out, which I liked, this cafe also has plenty of charger ports. One notable thing is, unfortunately, the uncomfortable seating. The only comfortable seating is the couches (which are hard to do work in).
Food: The cookies are decent; they always warm them up for you, they're not soft, though. Their cheesecakes are criminally underrated; they have the perfect smoothness and consistent flavors.
Coffee: Every time I have entered this establishment, I have always tried a new flavor of coffee, and most, if not all, the times I have tried their coffee, it has been prepared extremely well with little to no flaws. It is nothing crazy because it is coffee, but it would never be done the wrong way. The prices are fair, too ($5 - $7 max), compared to coffee prices nowadays ($9+). Issue: Recently, I have tried coming into Desert Oasis, but there has been a consistent fruit fly problem. At first, I thought this was a one-time thing. But this is not the case; it has gotten to the point where I am swatting them away. It's honestly disheartening to see this, but I am both a restaurant owner and germaphobe myself, and it was an absolute dealbreaker for me.
This rating is a solid 4.0/5.0 stars (not accounting for the recent issue).
