Hey friends! This review is about sustainability only. 🙂 By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. And over 95% of the plastic that we use does not actually get recycled. For an awesome, local coffee purveyor in a waterfront city, it made me feel sad to see the sheer amount of single use plastic cups getting used by diners coming to stay and enjoy the space. It does seem that you offer real, reusable mugs. That makes me really grateful. But it does not seem that anyone knows to ask for them. I wonder if there are some simple ways you can better promote the reusable option to your customers, so that they have more choice in not polluting our precious planet and our precious ecosystems here in Baltimore. Perhaps that means putting up a sign by the register, encouraging people to order their drink to stay. Or having your barista explicitly ask. Perhaps it means posting something on your social media, communicating that you have reusable mugs as options. You could also encourage people to bring their own mugs if they are walking over from within the neighborhood. But it seems absurd to create so much plastic waste in one sitting on one morning of just one weekend. Thank you for considering some simple ways to ensure we pollute this planet just a little bit less. People do want better options, and it seems that you have some simple fixes available to you now. And to any customers reading this, you can bring your own mug to use, or you can ask for one for here, if you do not want to create trash that will go straight to the landfill, ocean, or incinerator.

I've visited this place twice now. After the first time, I chose not to write a review, hoping it was just an off day. Unfortunately, after our second visit, I feel compelled to share our experience. Visit 1: We placed our order, received a number, and sat down. My husband's espresso came out fairly quickly, followed by our food. He got a pastry, and I ordered the breakfast sandwich on a gluten-free wrap. However, my drip coffee never arrived. After we finished eating, I went up to ask about it. I was especially disappointed because they advertise bottomless drip coffee, which I wasn’t able to take advantage of. When I finally got the coffee, it was missing the oat milk I had requested. The breakfast sandwich itself was also disappointing: dry and flavorless. Visit 2: We decided to give them another chance, but the experience was worse. After waiting 15 minutes with no drinks or food, I asked where we were in line. The woman at the counter told me, “I have 21 drinks ahead of you.” I mentioned we had arrived well before many of those people. They eventually realized our ticket had been tossed and had to reprint it. My husband got his espresso pretty quickly after that. My drink was forgotten again. When I finally got it, it still didn’t include oat milk. I ordered the Zeke's breakfast burrito, no cheese or egg, with added peppers and avocado, and it was barely cooked, cold, and honestly inedible. In the picture look for the "hash browns". They were way undercooked. My husband ordered the lox bagel, which showed up with no lox at all. He also got a croissant with a brownie in the middle and asked for it to be warmed. The outer chocolate was melted, but the inside was still cold. The chocolate also tasted more like cake frosting than actual chocolate. While we waited (again, without coffee), we watched the front counter. It was clearly disorganized, staff jumping from register to register, random people running food, and only two baristas trying to manage a long list of drink orders. It was chaotic. They assign numbers to guests but don’t actually use them to call orders, which just adds to the confusion. At one point, a customer received an iced drink when she expected it hot. When she asked about it, the employee rolled her eyes and seemed annoyed. Before leaving, I asked an older man with a beard, who seemed to float in and out of the employee mix, for a drip coffee refill. He told me, “You didn’t order a drip coffee.” I replied, “Yes, I did.” He responded, “Well, it wasn’t in a mug, but it only costs me 20 cents anyway,” he said irritated as he turned to refil my drink. I checked the menu and saw no mention that drip coffee only counts as “bottomless” if it’s in a mug. In fact, I looked around, not a single person had a mug. Final Thoughts: The food was subpar, the service was frustrating both times, and the organization at the front is a mess. The staff seemed overwhelmed and, frankly, annoyed at customer questions. I really wanted to like this place, but after two poor experiences, we won’t be returning.

Zeke's is a must for coffee connoisseurs. Their coffee can be found many places, but here is the real deal - Zeke's emporium and coffee lab. Rhe staff are great and the space very comfortable. Great coffees to order, and plenty of pastries and brunchy-type sandwiches. Cool gifts around to check out and plenty of coffee varieties, some found best here - ground or whole bean.

Staff is fabulous, both kitchen and front staff!!!! Food is tasty, love the Bfast sandwich, they make pastries on house. Also someone had a Q about animals but I couldn't post pics in my answer. Animals OK on the patio. I don't have animals but I'd feel very comfortable bringing my animals here.

Explore Zeke's Coffee Baltimore At Zeke’s Coffee, we use a Fluid Bed Coffee Roaster. In such a roaster, beans are continuously agitated by a stream of hot air creating something that looks like a fountain of beans. This is not only enthralling to watch, but is also a very efficient manner of roasting that allows for accurate roasting temperatures and a more consistent (and less bitter) product than other roasting methods. Additionally, the coffee itself remains very clean as chaff is pushed out of the roaster by the same air that keeps the beans moving, producing a cleaner taste. Upon reaching the desired temperature, beans are quenched then sucked out of the roasting chamber and into a cooling chamber where the heating process ceases and the beans are allowed to cool until they have reached a temperature at which they can be handled. After this roasting process, our beans are stored as individual varietals or mixed into one of our signature blends to be bagged and sent on to their destination.

Zeke’s has been a reliable coffee spot for years, and as someone who grew up in the neighborhood back when it was just a little roaster operation next to Safeway, it’s been really great to see them grow. The coffee is solid and the staff is always warm and friendly — no complaints there. That said, I have to be honest: the breakfast sandwiches need serious help. I’ve tried the classic egg, meat, and cheese on a bagel a few times over the years- I’ve even tried the vegan version, and unfortunately, the issues have stayed the same — underwhelming bread, not toasted, often oily, and overall not the satisfying breakfast experience you’d hope for. I’m not sure where they source their bagels, but they’re not great, and they’re not doing the sandwich any favors. It’s a bit of a bummer, because I want to be able to grab both a coffee and a breakfast sandwich here, but I usually end up skipping the food altogether. I’ve also heard similar feedback from others, so it seems to be a common issue. With better bread — or even just toasting and assembling it differently — this could be a totally different story. Maybe a bakery partnership or some tweaks in the prep process could turn it around. Still rooting for Zeke’s. Just... not ordering the sandwich.

Love this place! Super cute aesthetic and spacious inside. The drinks were good. I got a gluten free sandwich and it was delicious. They had a ton of merch and coffee options to take away.

As a lover of all things coffee and espresso, this place has great lattes, iced coffee and regular drip brews. The inside has plenty of seating for getting quick bites, studying or visiting with friends. The staff is always super friendly as well. Easily has become my favorite coffee spot in the area.

I went back to Zeke's today to co-work with a colleague while I'm in town and I'm really glad that I did. I arrived around 1pm and it was pretty busy, but my colleague had gotten there earlier and got us a table in the back room. I immediately ordered lunch upon getting settled. Squirrely was super nice & helped me decide on the Reuben with fries, and boy oh boy, I'm glad they did. I ate every single fry within minutes of receiving them, they didn't even need a dipping sauce. The Reuben was amazing, the corned beef was so tender. Their house made sauerkraut rye was perfect. Later, I ordered a Pumpkin Spice Latte, even though I said I'd wait til October for Pumpkin. It was perfect. I was happy because the first time I had coffee from Zeke's I thought it tasted burnt. It's a great place to have a yummy meal, a great cup of coffee and hang out. There's a covered patio with tables, and plenty of seating inside as well. It's cozy, yet has a spacious feel. The staff is awesome.

Much LOVE and shoutout to Zekes today specially LARA! I hope I caught your name correctly. You are one of the many reasons why Zekes is a success! I was having a hell of a day! Additionally, with dietary restrictions and yet, you took my order with care knowing how insanely busy this cafe gets is impressive! I'm sure many of your patrons will agree with me on this. I also love you remembered my name. Thank you thank you and I'll continue to stop by when I'm in this side of the town.

Ended up at Zekes Coffee for breakfast, as it's a place I pass all the time but have never visited. The line to order was pretty long, but it gave me time to look over the menu. I decided on the chicken biscuit, but unfortunately, once I got to the register to order, I was told they were out of biscuits. I was so set on the chicken biscuit that it took me a minute to look at the menu again and settle on something else. I went with a basic bacon egg and cheese bagel and a chai latte. I enjoyed the latte, and the bagel was fine. I'll have to make my way back for the chicken biscuit another day.

I've been stopping in regularly for about a month now. Sometimes to do work and sometimes just for a sodie. This cozy cafe has indoor and patio seating, free WiFi, and clean bathrooms. Staff are very friendly, and this location is a good community hub. I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. But if I had to recommend anything it'd be the Nitro Cold Brew, or a Peach Italian Cream Soda. The Nitro Cold Brew almost looked and tasted like an iced stout beer. It was smooth and had a thick head, while providing that much needed pep in my step. It was definitely a head-turner and had other customers asking what I was drinking! I think what really hooked me in was the Italian sodas, especially since I don't have much of a sweet tooth. There are a ton of flavors here, but of the bunch I've tried here so far, peach is the best. Super refreshing and lightly sweet. Perfect anytime of day. Today I tried their lox bagel, with their homemade lox. It was pretty good, with generous portions for the toppings. The poppy seed bagel was a bit dense but tasty.

Zeke's on Harford Road never disappoints! My boyfriend and I stopped in for cappuccinos and ended up leaving with a bag full of pastries. He had the raspberry danish--absolutely fantastic--and I went for the blueberry pop tart (highly recommend heating it up!) and the brownie-stuffed croissant. I also grabbed a coffee mug with two mini Zeke's coffee samples for daycare, plus a brownie and cinnamon bun for later. I typically swing by just for coffee, but their variety of baked goods is too good to pass up. I'll definitely be back before Valentine's Day! If you haven't been, do yourself a favor and stop in. They also have plenty of seats if you want this to be your office for the day I love the vibe here and service is always great!

Ending off the zip code series with Zekes Coffee, 9 zip codes northeast of home in Baltimore 21214. I visited here in July 2024. We checked out the Lauraville Festival that day and popped in here. I was familiar with Zekes as I had seen in DC but never had. I got the iced chai, which was excellent. Staff was very nice, and the price was thankfully reasonable too. It's a cute place with plenty of seating.

Zekes is my favorite coffee shop in the city! It's family friendly, welcoming with a robust menu. I love their lunch sandwiches and breakfast sandwiches. There was a line to the door when we showed up and they got the line down so quickly. The Vietnamese coffee is my favorite!

Although this place is not far from my house, I still never quite make it here. I was in the area again to rediscover this gem. All of the staff were upbeat and quirky, which made for a pleasant experience. I got a brownie and an ice coffee and sat in their outside sunroom area (perfect for getting the feel of outside, without having to be in the blazing sun). I need to make it a priority to come back for food because that will really seal the deal!

Nice little coffee shop with excellent coffee beans. It's a sizable café with an outer enclosed patio and seating inside and counter service. They have a large menu that features all kinds of coffee drinks, from classic to sugary and seasonal. They have a decent sized food, menu and offer hot breakfast and lunch options, as well as a large pastry case. My biggest ding and disappointment for this café, though, is that the pastries are tasty looking, but not at all tasty tasting. They are dry and pretty flavorless. I was really disappointed as I was looking forward to that raspberry croissant, but it was just a dusty mess with cheap jelly donut filling on the inside.

Before I moved to Baltimore, Zeke's was the only coffee shop I had heard of. My friend was a huge fan of theirs and she had periodically sent me bags of their beans. You better believe when we moved here, Zeke's was the first coffee shop we visited. What I love about Zeke's is the sheer number of roasts they will have available at any time. Walk into their shop and their shelves are packed full of various roasts and blends. I can always find something that interests me for my home coffee needs. Beside their coffee shelves, right by their entrance, is an illustrated graphic explaining the ingredients in all the different types of coffee. I love this! It means that not only will coffee snobs feel at home in their shop but the novice drinkers can be comfortable as well. Don't know the components of a drink? Just take a look at their wall. Zeke's has an extensive menu of hot and iced drinks. It is one of the largest I've seen. I've tried more drinks here than probably any other shop because of their menu size and constantly rotating "specials". 9 out of 10 times I enjoy these drinks. Zeke's also has a large variety of baked goods including a bunch of vegan options. The vegan chocolate croissants are gigantic! So, why not five stars? Mainly the parking. It stinks here. The lot is crowded and small and hard to navigate. I spend more time parking than ordering and drinking my coffee. I have begun to combat this by parking far away and walking.

Love Zekes Coffee, it's unmatched. I get it at the farmers market and really any place I see it offered. I went to their coffee shop once before when they would make like one hot breakfast plate each weekend. I remember getting sausage biscuits and gravy and being blown away. I was in the area over the weekend and decided to pop in with my family. We tried the Ravens whoopie pie, breakfast burrito with sausage, and hot honey chicken biscuit. I also got an iced mocha that was the sh*t. So good. The whoopie pie was just two stale purple cookies with a massive amount of old buttercream. It wasn't good but my son really liked it, so that was a win in a way. The sausage on the breakfast burrito was cut into thin slices and had a weird texture. The burrito was cold with shredded cheese that wasn't melted bc the burrito was pretty cold. Which made it a weird thing to eat. They were out of biscuits, so the chicken sandwich was on what seemed to be a stale brioche bun. The chicken was flavorless. I was bummed! Maybe I went on an off day. I love the vibe at Zekes and I reaaallllyy love the selection of kids books for entertainment. Toddler parents don't always get to enjoy a relaxing coffee in the morning but a new book entertained our son for like 15 minutes, which felt like an hour of bliss.

This is where Zekes Coffee started! I've been a fan of Zekes for a while - it was definitely one of the first local coffees I tried in Baltimore. I often get their bags of coffee from the farmers market so it's always a treat to visit their storefront. This was my second time here - the first time I came with a friend and tried a poppyseed Hamantaschen. The pastries and coffee shop here aren't high end, but the coffee is good and the store is so big - it's definitely more industrial feeling than the more hipster coffee joints you see popping up! The staff is fast and friendly and there is an area you can sit with dogs separate from the main area. I got their cafe con panna this time. Solid spot and definitely a neighborhood staple.

I still very much love Zeke's. That said, I would stay away from their delivery option on the site and keep to pickup or going in. I ordered some breakfast and a coffee for delivery and it's been 3 hours and it hasn't been delivered, but about an hour ago, they called to let me know they were out of oat milk. They are super busy and I wouldn't normally order delivery when we live close but I'm still recovering from surgery and can't drive.

I frequent Zekes all the time. I go to chill and work when the four walls of my office start to close in on me. I usually am able to grab a parking spot right in front of the door. I do the pay to park but it's only .50 an hour which is reasonable. The coffee is strong and good. I recently got a breakfast sandwich that was so good, I destroyed it before it even got to cool down. I like the option for quiet in the back room if needed. It's a neighborhood staple that I will continue to come back and support.

Zekes coffee is a friendly neighborhood restaurant that is definitely worth visiting. The staff are all very friendly and helpful with coffee and food suggestions. I've only tried the breakfast and coffee and I enjoyed it. It's a very busy spot so that is a good sign! The line can be long but they move very fast. Plenty of parking on the street and in the back.

I've been seeing Zeke's Coffee at the Baltimore Farmer's Market for years, but I only recently discovered they have a brick-and-mortar location on Harford Road. The staff here is friendly, and they know their menu well, making it easy to find something delicious. I tried a seasonal latte, which was yummy, along with a breakfast sandwich on a brioche roll (with sausage, lettuce, tomato, and egg) that was fresh and flavorful. Zeke's is a perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed lunch, catch up with a friend, or even settle in with some work in a cozy setting. With ample street parking, a lot behind the restaurant, and Baltimore merch like Zeke's Coffee t-shirts, cookies, and beans, it's a great place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.

This place was a great stop during a chilly day of browsing nearby shops! To start, it was very warm. There was a fairly decent line but it moved quickly and I had a good amount of time to decide what I wanted to get. I just wanted a warm beverage and a pastry to take the edge off my hunger and that's what I got. I went with the 16oz chai tea latte and a raspberry danish. Both were excellent. Checkout was easy.

We came because it's a local coffee roaster and we like to support local roaster over chains like Starbucks when we travel. This joint did not disappoint. We ordered our usual drink we get at coffee shops.. mocha and caramel macchiato.. lol.. Our server was very friendly and helpful. I ordered breakfast bagel with bacon cheese and egg.. hubby got a bagel with cream cheese.. my bagel tasted so good and it had a great deal of bacon on it!!Sooo good!! They had things you could purchase like muffins and bakery items, tshirts, cups, mugs , bags of coffee you name it.. they also had lunch menu and sometimes did burger night once a month on Friday..seems like a welcomed edition to neighborhood.. parking out front is on curb so not best when it's busy..

I've seen the bumper stickers and finally made it to this local favorite as I was in the area. Semi busy on a Friday morning around 9. A good amount of indoor and outdoor seating with a mix of high top and regular tables. Wanted to try something different so ordered a Cafe Cubano. Just the right amount of sweet with bold Espresso. Very good. Saw an abundant selection of pastries and got the Chocolate Danish and Almond Croissant. Both delicious. Also, ordered a couple of breakfast sandwiches to try. Chicken Biscuit and BYO with sausage. Chicken Biscuit stole the show with the Hot Honey taking it over the top. They have Weekend Brunch as well a good selection of sandwiches for lunch. House made Corned Beef sounds like a try for next time. Service was excellent with friendly and energetic people at the counter and making coffee drinks. A local favorite that lives up to the hype!

One of my favorite places to come for breakfast in Baltimore. The food is always top tier. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing, the drinks, everything is delicious Everyone here is so nice. Service 5 for sure. Always helpful and even when busy they always have a smile Ambiance is nice too. There are people working on laptops, talking hanging out and enjoying food. When you get food and sit down they bring it to you and check on you. They also have k cups, cookies, pastries, cakes, drinks. And lots of specials. Check it out

OK. I'm a regular. And I'd rather work here then at my office. The coffee is better. Terrific service. And a comfortable and productive atmosphere. Yes there is Wi-Fi. Great pastries. Cookies. Cooked foods like hash browns or omelets. They will make you eggs. The food is much better than I expected. It's downright excellent. Fancy events here too. Like Haitian Friday. Not sure why, but it is good.

I stopped by Zekes after purchasing a book nextdoor at Snug Books. I got a breakfast sandwich on a biscuit which was made to order and DELICIOUS. Not all places in Maryland know how to make a good biscuit, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I got a black drip coffee which was good, but not extraordinary. The cashier was very friendly and upbeat. There was a pastry case with some very tempting options. The inside made clear it was a local community favorite. People were catching up with friends and some doing work.

I was treated horribly by staff. Man with a beard and baseball cap gave my order to someone else (confirmed by another staff member) and when I asked he rudely said "we do things in order here, what don't you understand?" What a horrible way to treat a long time customer. No, I don't understand because I don't work there. This man is a horrible customer service representative and is costing Zeke's business. Someone shouldn't coach him to be empathetic to customers not confrontational. Customer service is what keeps people coming back and this person with his horrible attitude has cost Zeke's my and my family and friends' long time business. What a shame someone like this deals with someone's customers.

Surprisingly great. I didn't know what to expect but once I had a summer job in the area I checked their menu and appreciated the diversity and freshness. Their seating area allows for work from home ppl and those meeting with others. There's an extra room which is away from the larger seating area and a porch with windows open. They are a roastery and cafe so lots of coffee to bring home and make there. Some one of a kind pastries wait for you and staff seems quite bubbly and caffeinated. Bathroom is clean.

Visiting Zeke's, for a book club hangout, I was impressed with the menu offering so much more than the familiar coffee chain establishments-breakfast, lunch, bakery food options pairing with ample coffee, tea specials (& a super long unique list of flavor additions). I ordered a large decaf w.toasted marshmallow & lavender syrup w.a splash of fat free milk- while I was very excited to relax & enjoy my coffee- I was admittedly disappointed. My coffee, while intended to be a hot brew, was luke warm when I got it- I had to ask them to heat it (to which they used the microwave)-they also skimped on the milk, leaving the brew less creamy than I envisioned. The prices were reasonable, I would try ordering again- maybe opting into food- though seeing some plates of fellow book clubers some of the food seemed less 'homemade' and more 'heating frozen meals' like the hasbrowns- just have to give it another try to fully decide- The ambiance though was very nice- a fun place to spend the morning within the ample table space, bright open windows, and low-key vibe.

Slight caveat to this review--I've never been to Zeke's in person (would love to some day!) My MIL loves this place and has gotten both coffee beans and lattes for us. Their lattes are stellar--lavender is my favorite but the vanilla is great as well. Hope to be able to visit this place in person one day!

So glad and thankful to be living nearby this gem of a place. The fiancé frequents here and has his "usual" for the most part (Lox bagel or Prime Rib bagel). When our son and I are back in town from CA, we get Zeke's almost everyday - yes, it does get a bit pricey after a while. Their coffee is often delicious. Sometimes the vanilla latte can be bland, the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. Their white mocha never fails, though. Atmosphere is great. Fast and pleasant service. And love that you can order ahead of time via call/online and even delivered to your home. Definitely recommend this place.

Flat out, the best food you will get at a coffee house AND the best coffee in Baltimore. The review could end here, what else could you want? Allow me a few suggestions. Chef Joe Robinson, one of the hardest working human beings you will meet, has won the Sun's Best Chef in Baltimore twice and he was going up against people with Michelin stars. He makes his own lox, smokes his own meats, roasts his own turket, makes his own hot honey and 1000 Island Dressing. Joe is part animal, part machine. He loves cooking and he deserves respect. My Mother always wants to go "Visit your friend Joe's place" for breakfast, on her birthday. She says he makes the best cream chipped beef she has ever had. (Always check the daily specials, breakfast is an event, the Grilled Rueben comes on house made saurkraut rye and Burger Night is legendary.) Zeke's staff are diligent and, dare I say, compassionate. They know brunch means a lot to some of us. I waited all week and they go out of their way to make it special, even when it gets crowded. Any time you go there, the food and coffee is exceptional, you can buy the best small batch roasted beans in town, they make a bunch of deliciousthings in house, they even have beer. What are you waiting for???

Drinks are good, but don't bother ordering food from the kitchen if you don't have 45 minutes to kill.

We were in the area and stopped by for lunch on Christmas Eve. Apparently Zeke's is well known in Baltimore and I was living under a rock, but I have since been educated. We got the Baltimore sandwich, classic Italian, a couple muffins, a vanilla Italian soda, and a bag for coffee from the wall of coffee choices. They also have a full display of baked goodies too. The seating area is decently sized with 2 rooms of tables for patrons. My boyfriend really liked his Italian sandwich. I swapped the tiger sauce on the Baltimore for mayo since I don't like horseradish and it was tasty. The vanilla Italian soda was super sweet, just the way we like it. I would ask for less ice next time. The muffins were just ok, but forgiven as everything else was delicious.

Went her from breakfast/brunch in between church services. The food was surprising good. It's a great place to go to catch up with a friend work or study with both indoor and outdoor seating which was nice.

I liked the mocha latte that I had on my first visit. It was well-brewed and nice and foamy. Plus, the barista has skills and didn't mind tweaking the drink to my preferences. I also purchased and really enjoyed the zero calorie, fruit- flavored, non-alcoholic spritzer drinks. They're really good and refreshing! In my hot vanilla latte, I requested the sugar free vanilla and a pinch of mocha. The barista even had me watch him and asked me to say "when" to let him know how much mocha to use. That's a new one! I really appreciated his desire to be precise and to make the latte I wanted! Probably will return even though from my home location, it's on the other side of town because I found ZEKE'S to be a good coffee shop. If you want a full meal, Zeke also offers food options like deli, seafood, steak, desserts, and breakfast/brunch dishes! Check it out!

My husband and I started going to Zeke's when it was in an old, small yellow building on Harford Rd. near the Pep Boys. It was the best coffee and bagels I ever had in my life. Went there for years. When they moved locations, I was no longer living in the city. However, we'd still make a special trip down. Today's visit came with extreme disappointment. I hadn't been in probably a year. But we couldn't believe the change. We both got bagels, which tasted odd, weren't fully toasted and had a thin layer of cream cheese. My coffee was fine. But my husband got a mocha. Half the cup was foam and there was no mocha taste at all. Not sure what happened to Zeke's. Used to be my #1 coffee and bagel place. I'd recommend it to everyone. I hope it can return to its glory days. I miss the old Zeke's.

This spot was PERFECT for a delicious specialty coffee and breakfast sandwich. Parking is a little difficult, but the space has a nice atmosphere and is right next to the cutest book store! Highly recommend

When you're tired of chain coffee establishments, stop and have a cup of joe from a local shop. I was pleased that almond milk was available for my caramel macchiato. There are also breakfast and brunch specials in addition to bakery treats. Seating areas are located inside and out. This place is for everybody and anyone can feel safe there to be themselves.

The iced Vietnamese coffee is crave-able! Their take home coffee is pricy but I love it!

Really loved this place. Was really in the mood for a nice iced latte and wanted to see what was in the area. They got really good reviews from the locals so figured I couldn't go wrong. I was right! They have breakfast and lunch. They have coffee, tea, and adult beverages. $3 shots!! You can even add a shot to your coffee. I would definitely come back with my laptop and have lunch!
