Coffee Renaissance

Felt hungry after doing business at the DMV and stopped in here. The place is small but very clean, and I was happy to hear they were still serving breakfast at 11. My ham egg and cheese croissant was perfect. The eggs especially were the ideal consistency to go in a sandwich. They were folded in the shape of the bread and a bit fluffy, meaning they were cooked to order. Shame in not in the area more often, or I would come here regularly!

Matcha latte and bagel w/ cream cheese was delicious. Love that they were open early enough for me to spend time while waiting for my partner's dr. Appointment to conclude. Nice spot to settle in with a book with classical music playing overall great coffee house vibes in an urban plaza. Very nice people! Highly recommend :)

Never judge a book by its cover… I almost didn’t go in here (guilty). I was waiting for someone at the DMV next door and walked past it once without going in because well, it didn’t look like a fancy coffee shop. Eventually I did and I was so pleasantly surprised by the most important thing in a coffee shop: Their coffee! I asked for 2 shots of espresso and foam, the old guy behind the counter responds with “you mean a macchiato”. I felt like an idiot for not saying that and assuming he wouldn’t know. His wife made my drink. I thought “oh for sure she’s gonna get it wrong”. I was so wrong. She made the perfect macchiato for me. There are so many pretty-looking fancy coffee shops out there staffed with young hipster looking baristas who have no clue what’s the difference between a latte and a real macchiato. These old folks have done their homework for they are avid coffee drinkers like I am :) So refreshing! Please pay them a visit!
