First of all, the breakfast burritos are on point. They make each one by hand when you order it and it’s a big burrito for the price (I think it was about 6.50). The man who was working was super friendly and had my order ready in no time. I ate half of the burrito there and loved how fresh it tasted. It had scrambled eggs, cheese, avocado, potatoes and salsa and sour cream on the side. It comes with red onion but I asked for it without. You can also get the same burrito but with a meat option. They have a large sitting area with tables, couches, a TV, board games and books. The only reason I am not giving this place more stars is because my almond milk latte was burned when it was steamed. It had a horrible taste to it that at first I couldn’t tell because I was waiting for it to cool off while I enjoyed my burrito but when I left and started drinking it I realized the milk had been burnt. This cafe sits across from the DMV so its very convenient if you need something early in the morning or just want a snack or coffee after you’re done. It’s off the beaten track so I want everyone to know how great this place is! I will definitely go back and if my latte is burnt again I will let them know but I hope it was just an accidental thing.

AllMyTea Cafe Menu with Prices 400 Disney Way Ste 129, Anaheim

I wanted to love this place! The cashier was so sweet and kind but my drink was very disappointing! I am lactose intolerant so I ordered a caramel latte with ALMOND milk. I was charged an extra $1 for this, which is typical. I left the area and started drinking my latte about 10 minutes later when it cooled down only to have the taste of sour burnt espresso… I am a mega coffee drinker so it bothered me, but may be fine for most casual drinkers. About 20 minutes later and half way into my drink.. my body realized.. it was made with dairy milk. Like I mentioned, I was charged an extra $1 for almond to avoid this lactose intolerance issue, but my drink was made mistakenly. I understand people make mistakes and I wish I could just toss the drink and forget about it, but after spending hours in agony over a mistake that shouldn’t have been made, I was just disappointed. Overall, this shop has a great atmosphere, great options (oat, almond, soy, coconut, or regular milks), and great friendly employees.. but I ask that they please pay more attention to their orders!!!!

Union Street Kitchen Café – Menu with Prices – 42 Crichton St, Ottawa

I usually love Union Street Cafe! The service is usually amazing and their food and baked goods are so tasty! I remember one time I went and I got a delicious chai tea latte with dried rosebuds on top — it was so good! However, my last visit to Union Street Cafe last week, there was a long line around lunch time. I stood waiting in line while the customer in front of me seemed to be causing some confusion as she ordered one drink, then changed her mind and then wanted to add oat milk. I could tell that it was all very confusing! But instead of having one girl focus on that customer and the other employee focus on me, as I was next in line, they both just kind of stared blankly at her. Finally after a long wait, it was my turn to order my iced chai tea latte. However, when I got my drink it tasted so so bad. I was hoping maybe I’d become accustomed to the taste after another sip but with each sip the after taste it left was so gross. I’ve had an iced chai tea latte from here before and it tasted nothing like this one — I think the barista, distracted by the other customer, must have missed an ingredient in my drink as it just tasted like murky almond milk. No chai flavour at all! Overall, I’d recommend Union street cafe for their baked goods and sandwiches. But I would say that for the cost of my drink at Union Street Cafe ($5.25) I’d rather just go to Starbucks where I can rely on the quality and taste of their drinks every time. Union street cafe is very hit or miss with their drinks, and for the higher cost of their drinks, that’s a risk I’m not willing to take.

Huskins Coffee Company – Menu with Prices – 1901 E First St #138, Santa Ana

Amazing! But,.. one crucial mistake. The employees were fast and courteous. The shop is neat and clean. They have many different options to choose from. There is parking, but very limited. The latte art is always welcome and appealing. The cup that held it had an ingenious, sleeveless design that kept your hand from getting burned when your drink is too hot. But the drink itself… I got a latte. No sweetener. Whole Milk. It was lacking. It didn’t taste “rich” and frothy. When you close your eyes to sip, you feel warm milk with some coffee in it. The coffee beans MAY not have been as fresh as possible, because the flavor did not envelop my mouth as other lattes have in the past. Or maybe the machine burned the espresso? Maybe the milk was bad? Although it did not smell bad… The espresso, a little more on the sour side. And maybe simply against my preference and nothing more. But, it felt no different from heating up some milk in a pan, and dumping some coffee in it. Reminiscent of Starbucks when lazily done. And, I am done with Starbucks. We need coffee shops that care about people and coffee. Note, I am not saying this place does not. I am certainly willing to try it again. And this place is definitely worth a shot. But if this is a regular occurrence, I implore the owner and management to provide their staff with the best tools, and product possible… Because, true coffee lovers are rooting for you. This place has the potential for 5 stars. TO REITERATE. I AM NOT saying that this business uses old beans, cheap machinery, expired milk, etc etc etc. I AM saying, something was wrong with my latte causing it to be flat and dull. But the potential was there. You should definitely try it out!

just add honey tea company Menu with Prices 684 John Wesley Dobbs Ave NE Unit E, Atlanta

Tea lovers check out Just Add Honey. This is the second location and its right off the Eastside beltline right next to Ladybird, perfect spot. It’s an absolutely charming space, you feel like you’re entering someone’s home. Everyone working was very helpful and pleasant. There are so many places for you to sit while you’re waiting for your order or if you decide to enjoy your beverage inside. Prices are very affordable, nice variety of seasonal beverages and house specialties. You have a choice of non dairy milk and sweeteners, including simple syrup. I ordered the lavender honey latte with almond milk. It was good with lots of lavender flavor, I was surprised that I had to add extra honey though. I couldn’t really taste the honey the first time. I would also like to recommend that be very patient, I’m not sure why but we had what seemed like a long wait for 3 orders. We enjoyed the atmosphere so we didn’t mind and the employee also checked in on us. I probably wouldn’t get the same drink if I was in a rush. While you’re waiting look around the shop, they have lots of cool items and baked goods. I love the t-shirt with a picture of a tea pot with the words, pot head….. too funny.

Turks Coffee Bar – Menu with Prices – 1276 Commercial Dr, Vancouver

Cute little coffee shop on The Drive with yummy coffee and a patio perfect for people-watching. My friend and I stopped in here after brunch to grab some lattes to go. For me a vanilla almond milk latte and for my pal a regular vanilla latte. I loved my little caffeine fix. I’m not sure if it was the coffee itself, the vanilla, or the almond milk, but whatever those baristas did, I really, really enjoyed my latte. Seems like a great place to hang out and catch up with a friend or post up and get some work done. It’s quite small in here, so I can imagine that it would get full quickly, especially on a warm, sunny day. Overall, yummy coffee, friendly baristas, and cute decor from other local businesses. While there are plenty of coffee shops on The Drive, this one will definitely be one of my top ones to visit and recommend.

The Table on Elm – Menu with Prices – 227 S Elm St, Greensboro

The Almond Horns – IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. It’s very tasty from the inside out. It’s crunchy outside chewy inside. That little bit of chocolate on each ends taste super delicious as well. It’s definitely has a wow factor in it! It’s one of the best treats for humans (even though it’s a little too sweet for me). Blueberry Mango Pound Cake – it’s texture is good. It’s soft and goes well with a glass of milk. However, I’m not able to taste any mango flavor from the start to the end, and I’m still wondering why. Note: I’m still giving this bakery a 5 stars cus the Almond Horns tastes extraordinarily good.

Ritual Coffee Roasters – Menu with Prices – 1300 Haight St, San Francisco

College student here and I always come to this cafe but the baristas are unfriendly and inattentive. When asking a question, I was told by one of the baristas to “order at the register” and I was asked if I “can wait,” which I gladly agreed. This is my THIRD time at this cafe and the service depends on the person. The coffee is a solid 7/10 and I’ve ordered their lattes, but I feel like it depends on the person who is making them. Once I had a latte in which the espresso was still sitting at the bottom and the milk was at the top! Also, I typically order almond milk and on one occasion, the barista had forgotten. Because of a milk allergy, I found out that day by feeling sick, which was honestly not fun. One thing that they have never done was ask for my name for my drink. Also, it would be nice too if some of the baristas didn’t try to ring up customers as quickly as possible…. Ironically, they often they treat older customers with more respect, attention, and patience. It is unfortunate, because I have plenty of younger friends who would have enjoyed coming here FOR THE COFEE. However, with service this disappointing, I hope this review serves as a warning to fellow students. If you are a young 20-something or go to University of San Francisco nearby, please please please, I urge you to go elsewhere for coffee! This is not a place for friendly service.

La Tasse Rouge – Café Collectif – Menu with Prices – 3756 Rue Masson, Montréal

For my usual afternoon coffee hunt, I decided to go out a little further and try this relatively new café situated in Vieux-Rosemont on Masson Street. This quaint little café, with its white chairs, wooden tables, and hints of red décor, is definitely small but full of charm! The have a few outdoor seats in the back, a couch in the back for those who prefer to lounge, and tables meant for two, which makes for a great workspace for those who prefer to bring their laptops along; free Wi-Fi too! As for their menu, they offer light fair perfect for lunches, as well as baked goods, and of course, coffee. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by Emily and placed my order for a tall latte with almond milk. The coffee was well prepared but the espresso was a little too acidic for my taste, so I simply added some sugar; perfect! For 4.25$, a tall latte with almond milk including taxes, is a total steal! As I prepared to leave, I asked “Why Café Collectif in your name?”. Emily explained that certain proceeds from their sales are reinvested back into the community, and they even offer the “pay it forward” concept. Wow! So, I paid a couple of coffees forward and headed back to work, content I accomplished a good deed for the day, and got a yummy coffee out of my walk too. It was only on my way out that I noticed that all their coffees are served in red cups (even for takeout!); how cute! Overall, the concept alone is reason to visit this delightful little spot, but I will certainly return for some of their baked goods that looked so yummy, they left me drooling over my red coffee cup all the way back to work.

Quick Fix Coffee Co – Menu with Prices – 2517 Willamette St, Eugene

This place at first seemed like another meh coffee drive through at first sight but once I started going I do not go anywhere else if I can help it. I used to live across town and would specifically drive here just to get my drink. Which they learn fast. I never expect a coffee shop to know my drink but they do, even when someone else picks it up for me! Aw! Coffee – I get hemp lattes ( so many Eugene places do not have hemp milk. It’s not that weird. I don’t feel like drinking that much soy and almond milk is usually tasteless and can have a burnt taste easily) Thank you Quick Fix! The use organic Cascade Estate. I’m always very happy. I’ve tried their mocha which are good, and chai for an afternoon drink ( you can get sweet or spicy) You can also get a 24 oz hot size. Thank you! Sometime ya just need that extra 4 oz. Service- very sweet and competent people! When they have a line they walk out and get orders from the cars- smart! They have always been more than happy to accommodate any drinks I wanted to try ( not too sweet, milk type mixes, eggnog chai ) I think the owner is sometimes there taking orders and she’s super sweet. They have an extensive menu of blended and iced drinks. I have yet to get into because I’m so happy with my drink. Muffins and Ruthie’s Cookies for snacks. They seemed to be open every major holiday which is great. Some covered seating as well. What a gem on Willamette Street!

Coffee Dose – Menu with Prices – 3035, 116 E 18th St, Costa Mesa

Came here on a whim with my best friend and my sister after seeing how hyped up it was on Instagram and we were frankly disappointed. The coffee shop was also a makeshift hair salon, where people could go in and get their hair done. We all ordered drinks. I ordered an iced chai latte with almond milk, my sister ordered an iced chai latte with whole milk, and my best friend ordered a cappuccino. After being there and hearing our names for the order, we grabbed our cups and took a sip. We couldn’t believe the disbelief of how disgusting our drinks were. Both chai teas tasted like Delsym, an orange cough syrup with cinnamon and the cappuccino tasted very sour. We weren’t too happy about the quality of the drinks after seeing how great the advertisements were on social media. After another sip, we decided we could no longer drink these drinks and went back to tell the baristas. Because it was our first time here and the taste was awful, I asked if we could swap them out with different drinks as the ones we ordered were not up to par. My friend and I both opted for a hot match a latte with almond milk and oat milk. My sister got a mocha. We were happy that they let us swap out the first drinks as they weren’t very good. The second round of drinks, tasted much better, but nothing too far from a 3/5. The aesthetic here is cute, I would rate it 4/5. However, their drinks are sub par, I dont think I will be coming back anytime soon as it was nothing special. Yes, the cups have some sassy sayings like “so fucking zen” or “anti-bitch serum,” but the drinks itself are not worth the price.

Cafe Auburndale – Menu with Prices – 192-10 Northern Blvd, Flushing

I’ve been here a couple of times now and I have nothing bad to say about this place. The first time I came here was just to check out the place and catch up with a few friends and it’s a perfect place to do that. There’s even outside seating in the back, which I thought was also really beautifully decorated. I think it would be perfect to sit back there once the weather starts cooling down! The interior is beautiful and super sleek. It’s very modern, decked with marble/granite table tops in the front and wood in the back (if I’m not wrong). The bar-style seating in the front with stools is where it’s at because that’s where their outlets are located. I assume the pieces at the Cafe are handmade by local designers because there are business cards by the cashier. I thought this touch was great because it allows these designers to showcase their work. Perfect spot to study and work because of how much light the place lets in and because the interior is mainly white and light woods. The wood decoration in the back section is also really cool! It’s meant to be a photo zone, but there is a small table in the corner so it’s kind of hard to really take any “instagram” or whatever photos you want since the seat may be occupied. As for the menu, I’ve tried their Iced Americano and Iced Hazelnut Latte (once with soy and once with almond milk). I must say that the americano was great and was not too sour, as I’ve had in some places. The hazelnut latte was also delicious both times I got it. A tad too sweet for me, but I’ll just tell them to go light on the syrup next time. I’ve yet to try their bingsoo (which many people get because I see the machine churning out ice very often when I’m there doing work), but will give it a shot next time! I’ve also had their blueberry muffin, which was alright. It was a little dense for me and not as moist as I would have wanted. Side note: my Hazelnut Latte with almond milk did come out to be around $7 bucks? It is a bit on the pricier side (I know my almond milk is at an additional cost), but I understand different factors go into the price, as well as the expenses it costs to run a nice cafe like theirs. The staff are also all super friendly and nice. And this place is very clean, which is a great environment to study in (in my opinion). The bathroom is big and clean as well. It does get a little chilly in here so if you are here for a while, make sure to bring a light cardigan or something to keep you warm! Great atmosphere and will be back! This place has become a nice study/work spot that’s not too overcrowded.

Luckyduck Bicycle Cafe – Menu with Prices – 302 12th St, Oakland

Hipster interior design and great lattes! I’ve always wanted to try this place out since it’s located so close to my grandparents’ place. I wish they open earlier because I am usually only in the area before 8am. I came here at around 8:15am on a weekday and waited in line for 10min because they were short on staff. I ordered the chai latte with oat milk and the latte with whole milk. Chai Latte $4.75 (3.8/5) I love that they serve oat milk! The tea flavor was average. I like my chai to have a ginger kick to it but this one doesn’t have it. It has a layer of foam on top and the drink has a nice cinnamon flavor. There’s a hint of sweetness and it’s very creamy with the oat milk. Latte $4 (5/5) I ordered it with whole milk and the balance of the espresso shot to milk ratio was perfect. Very creamy and smooth. This place has a relaxing vibe with cool arts. It’s a nice place to work or to have a chat. I will definitely come back for their coffee and try their food next time!
