Super cute, economical use of space and the coffee is the real deal.
This cross-country move from Memphis to Carlsbad needed some caffeine - Best Western did their best but... no. Yelp pointed me toward this little darling and I'm so glad!
The barista was friendly, chatty; in my experience baristas are either very friendly or completely merged with their machine. This fellow was the former and pulled an excellent Americano.
Agave and simple syrup at the ready; these are things that make me happy to see and tell me the place knows it's craft.
Also I loved the Damien Hirst piece in the background and the fact that the barista was knowledgeable about the artist and his work. Totally a win.
