I love the coffee tree. I used to work across the street and would pop over daily to get my fix-I miss it so! Making your own coffee in an office building isn't quite the same pick me up.
The coffee is delicious and in my experience, the baristas are friendly and always know what they are doing. I would usually get an almond milk latte and it was always so! good! It is really, really difficult to get almond milk to foam properly like cow's milk does, and it usually just comes out full of bubbles and disappointing. (I used to work at starbucks, and I have an espresso machine at home, but I cannot get the almond milk to cooperate, ever.) Here, it comes out rich and creamy every time! I'm jealous of their skills.
The chai lattes are good as well, but can be a bit overpoweringly sweet if you go with almond milk, as the milk itself is sweetened. Love the bran muffins (fresh) and oatmeal cakes (packaged) available for sale.
The atmosphere is great too, and the location on Beverly Rd makes for a nice outing when the weather is good.
