We are visiting in from out of town and found a need to make a review here. There are three sides to this review -- Physical Space, Beverage Quality, and Service.
TLDR:
Physical Space: Awesome vibe. Cool environment. Loud music. If noise sensitive, beware.
Beverage Quality: Solid Stuff. No quality complaints and the horchata is excellent.
Service: Socially Anxious beware. Seems pretentious and expectant of already knowing The Rules.
Physical Space:
Superb decoration, space, and physical ambiance. Cool art, plants, spaciousness, good chairs, the works. HOWEVER. I am a noise sensitive human (specifically for constant loudness or clanky noises), and this place was super triggering for me. The music is quite loud depending on where you sit, and the noise of the bar area can be quite prolific at times. The only way I could tolerate it was with headphones and music, and that tolerance of it was... tenuous. The music selection is tailored to 80s-90s babies.
Beverage Quality:
Solid drinks. My partner had a decaf latte and a horchata latte, while I had a Gibraltar and a cup of normal coffee. All were good.
Note if you want to bring a personal cup though... they only serve things in up to 10 or 12 oz. I was not aware of their limit on filling things up, and just asked for a cup of coffee in my 16oz cup. The guy said yes and left 2-3 inches of room. In filling the coffee, it was splashing all over the side of the cup as well, so the cup was quite damp when I received it. When I confusedly asked for my cup to be properly filled (thinking he had just left room for cream like people do all the time), I was met with mild sass and a feeling of my having Audacity for asking to fill up my cup.
Service:
*see above for coffee size warning. Especially for people with any semblance of social anxiety.
My partner, when he approached the bar to ask the bar barista something about his drink, was also quite ignored. It appeared the barista had headphones in while barring. He was able to get the baristas attention, but was quite ignored until he made a specific effort to get his attention. For clarity, more effort to get a baristas attention than you typically need to (saying Hey there or similar).
