I was really impressed walking in here and then walking out with a delicious almond-milk latte (I've only seen soymilk as a milk alternative in lots of other coffee places, so that was a huge plus!).
First off, it was a Fri 8ish morning, so NO LINE (yay!) and the gal that attended me was very friendly and cheerful/upbeat. You could tell she like her job and that made for a plus experience. I watched her grind my beans, tamp them, and the rest of the ordeal and was quite impressed with the flavor of steamed almond milk with a latte (my first!). It was flavorful and nutty and had a very perculiar taste that I immediately fell in love with. I will have to get another almond-milk latte here.. which won't be hard because they are really close by.. oh, and cheap!
Flavorful $3.50 16oz almond-milk latte + nice inviting atmosphere + friendly staff = 5 stars! Seriously the ONLY downside was I really wish they had pastries that were 'cafe'-like.. ie. homemade muffins or cookies. Costco muffins are awesome, don't get me wrong, but I think it would be cool if they had local or home-made goodies :) it would nicely round out the place! Still.. I'm a fan and will be back! Nextime I'll bring my nook and read.
