| - My husband and I have been stopping here on the weekends recently. The staff is always super friendly and their drinks are great. I've never like coffee. Ever. I've tried it a couple times throughout my life and it's just never done it for me, so I've always been a tea girl. THEN, my husband and I went to Cartel one day and while he was tending to our toddler, I went to put some cream in his iced coffee. I had a little bit of an overflow dilemma, and there were no towels or any potential clean up devices in sight. So I was forced to take a sip to prevent the spill... and I was shocked and pleasantly surprised that I actually LIKED the coffee! It wasn't bitter or nasty at all. Very smooth and delicious, and creamy because of, well, the cream. My poor husband only got to drink about half his coffee that day, and then deal with me being wired for the next few hours.
The usual tea I get there is always great, too. I've only tried one so far, the black mango pineapple (or something along those lines) and it's delish! Mildly sweet and fruity, extremely yummy.
I like the way the interior is designed, with bike tires and interesting photos on the walls. My toddler loves to look around and inquire about what everything is. There's never been a long wait and we've been there at different times on weekend mornings. Early-ish, and later towards the afternoon. Never overly crowded, never empty. We'll be back again and again because now I'm hooked on their iced coffee. It only took 27 years.
