    Cute cafe with a hip decor and contemporary art! They have a lot of special drinks. We got the Rose Latte and Dirty Diana. I really like the Rose Latte, it's sweet but not too sweet and has a subtle flavour of rose. I wasn't a fan of the Dirty Diana, it's not sweet and you can't really taste the beets. It's like any other chai+espresso drink

    Stopped by to try the Mabuhay Ube Latte (got it with oat milk). It was lovely! Just the right amount of sweetness and ube flavor. I would absolutely order it again. Don't forget to shake or stir it up before drinking. Congrats to this black-owned business. The interior design is way fun and lively! I will say I wish the employees were just as welcoming as the look and feel of the place, but overall, it was a positive experience.

    I love this coffee shop. The workers are always super nice and I love the layout. It can get really busy but I like to come here to read or get work done. The ube latte with oat milk never disappoints; both the hot and iced version are equally good. It is a bit pricey($7 for a regular size) plus tip so it's $8. Definitely a treat just once in a while and not an everyday drink. The parking is difficult as well but that's expected of downtown.

    ‍‍ People were AMAZING! Coffee was AWESOME! Churro Waffle was the BOMB! And the vibe was JUST RIGHT ! Nirvana House Blend Espresso Roasted Beans : I *highly* recommend purchasing a bag of this roast to take home with you. It is simply delicious ! One of *the* best & most flavorful roasts I've tried. (And I've tried a lot of them!) It's incredibly smooth, light, & hits you with hints of citrus and pure delight. It's a little pricey @$20/bag but I do think it's worth it. Serotonin Sunrise Tea : Not only is this drink really pretty, it's also deliciously mellow. Initially it tastes a bit like a gummy bear. Once you stir it up, it's mellow & refreshing. I loved that it was not too sweet. Mabuhay Ube Latte: The espresso is smooth & the drink as a whole is light & refreshing.
