| - So, it's New Years Day and almost every place that we want to go, besides the big chains, are closed! We call up Sambalatte around 4:30 and they say yeah, we're open and will be for at least another hour or so. No big deal, we're just about 10 minutes away... well, we get there and it is PACKED! The line wasn't too crazy but they let everyone know all the orders are to-go only. Bummer for me cause I really wanted to check out the upstairs and I hate feeling rushed. Whatever, they want to get home and enjoy the holiday, you can't blame 'em!
Anyway, we just wanted some coffee and treats so were order a nutella latte, a mocha, a nutella bomb, a brown parfait and my son ordered the kids specialty drink. All of the drinks were really good, my wife loved her mocha and the nutella latte had great flavor without being overpowering. The treats though, were lacking In a big way! Unlike the latte, the nutella bomb was pretty much flavorless and was just a huge disappointment. The brownie parfait was much better but still nothing spectacular. Both of these items rang in right at around $7 too so crazy overpriced in my opinion.
The other reviews are spot on about it being crazy loud with a hustle and bustle feeling which I'm not a huge fan of either. If I'm in the area, I'd stop by again for a to-go drink, maybe try the nutella cappuccino or something else off their drink menu which is pretty dang big. Other than that though, I just don't see it being worth the time or price to go out of my way.
