Love it! (Or not so much anymore)

To be fair, I have only had the matcha drinks. However, I really like and crave them. The vegan lavender matcha with cold foam is so good! My friends have gotten their coffee (I don’t like coffee) and said it was good too! I did notice some of the matcha drinks use their vanilla powder, which online says it contains milk so be careful.

Update: The vegan lavender cold foam matcha drink was seasonal, and the original matcha drink is not vegan unless specified. Honestly disappointing that they got rid of the vegan cold foam. For this, I change my review from 4 stars to 2 because of the lack of options, the mediocre coffee (which I have since tried, and my friends also agree its hit or miss if its good or gross) and the removal of vegan products. I understand it was seasonal, but I do think a vegan cold foam would do well, especially in the area. I have asked more questions since my first review and almost nothing is vegan if you get the powder added, which is dairy free only because it contains less than 1%, which is still not vegan. The staff either knows what vegan is, or has no idea. You will have better luck knowing the truth with the actual baristas. If I were you, I would rather go to a small coffee shop, or even Starbucks which at least has way more vegan options and guides online to help you pick something vegan.

Just ok

This place was bumping when I ordered a latte with almond milk. They messed up my order and offered to give me two servings of my order which was nice but I don’t need too big coffees. The latte itself was underwhelming and not hot enough for me. I enjoyed Oliver Coffee a lot more.
