The cafés
Reunion
While my latte wasn’t my favorite, my friend’s was delicious so I think I ordered the wrong thing.
Jaho Coffee
Definitely on the sweet side but I was amazed by all of their options!
Caffè Ducali
Kicco
I was immediately amazed by all of the fun flavor options and was further impressed by how good the drinks tasted.
Lil Wolf Coffee
A great option for those that like high quality espresso!
Intelligentsia
A decent option for a day in the office but not the most robust menu!
Café Amalfi
I’d been eyeing this place for so long and am so glad I finally checked it out!
Gracenote Coffee
The quality of the espresso was definitely amazing, I just don’t love the flavors they had.
Travel Mug Cafe
This cafe being inside of a book store was so cute.
Sip Cafe
Definitely a great stop to swing by on a summer day because it’s always packed but definitely a bit too pricey for this to be an all the time thing.
Bon Specialty Coffee
This is definitely one of the best tasting lattes so far.
Cocorico
Although they had limited flavor options, the latte was delish and they even had some gluten free pastries!
