How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it.

Good coffee, chill place, and a surprisingly good selection of breakfast to go things like burritos, breakfast sandwiches, empanadas, all with some gluten free and vegan options too. Overall tho, nice staff that are smiling in the mornings is why I swing by here sometimes.

Honestly the fact your milk alternative is sweetened is a huge point of contention for me. I’m on keto and though dietary preference shouldn’t matter, I had my diabetic friend over and she doesn’t do dairy so we couldn’t visit your coffee shop because of it. Considering people’s preferences and needs is something to consider because there is a coffee shop opening across the street from you and if they’re able to better accommodate people, they’ll be more successful

Go-to for all things pick-me-up. And for my GF friends, they have gluten free breakfast "hot pockets" which are really these beautifully crafted empanadas

Fluid was such a cute place to visit. The latte i got was perfect and tasted delicious. It was the perfect level of vanilla without being too overpowering. The barista who was working was super nice and we had a great conversation! They answered every question i had which is super nice
