Wow! I’m here for a few short days while attending a conference, and I’m on the hunt for the best lavender latte. Well folks, I found it! The taste, the handcrafted syrup, the coffee, the heart in the foam on top were all ::chef’s kiss:: and I so enjoyed it. The barista was kind, and my friend and I enjoyed speaking with her. We’ll definitely be back before we head home!

Edie is the best sweetie ever! Place is close since is already 2:04 but she came with a beautiful smile and said to us “I’m happy to help what do you guys want” it’s so much better when you find happy workers She deserves a rise 10/10

Despite the photos, the coffee is served in paper cups. Cappuccino and latte were good but we prefer our coffee in mugs.
