I've heard good things about this coffee shop so I figured I had to check it out. This location was the closest one near me. The barista recommended espresso drinks, so I had to try the cortado (my usual espresso go-to), which was $3.65. The barista recommended it with oat milk (an up charge of $1), so it was $5.11 after tax. This is a bit more expensive than I normally pay for, but it's a double shot espresso so it could be worse.
The cortado was a pretty good drink, and the oat milk balances the espresso - a nice medium roast that's full body and bright. The espresso flavor is noticeable and fruity, but I would prefer it to be stronger, as the after taste is a bit weak and I'm left with a stronger oat milk taste instead. Now, this isn't bad if this is what you prefer, but I'm all about a strong and fruity espresso in a cortado. Overall, this cortado was decent, but I will probably try a different espresso drink next time, or maybe one of the pour overs which my friend said he enjoyed.
To note, it was only one barista working at the time we were there, but he was able to handle several drinks in a timely fashion with ease. We all got our drinks within a short period of time. Overall, the coffee shop was pretty neat. There's not a lot of room to do work or study since the seats had small round tables or it was bar styled. Good place to chat with others, thoug
