I have heard the name Berdena's for a while and wanted to see what this little shop was all about.
Berdena's is a coffee shop with gorgeous white backsplash tiles, fun organic decor and a nice hip place to get a drink. The decor is instagram worthy and a great shot for anything you buy.
The drinks are interesting because they have your typical chais and espressos but they also have a list of specialty drinks as well. I decided on two drinks, the lavender latte and the maraschino cold brew for my husband. I also ordered some of the LeDinersaur pastries as they are one of my favorite pastry vendors in the valley.
I waited 20 minutes for my two drinks and there were two people in front of me. Thankfully I wasn't in a rush but that is a long time for two drinks especially when one is a cold brew. My lavender was alright, I wasn't in love with it but it was still good. It was missing something to make all the flavors blend. The Maraschino cold brew was intense, I mean I took a sip and the bitter bite of the cherry flavor was too much for me. My husband is a huge coffee person and usually drinks his coffee with almost nothing in it. He even said it was bitter and overwhelming. He said it took 4 hours to drink it. I can see the direction they were headed but the implementation just fell short. I figure I will give them another try when they change their specialty drink menu as I feel they are so close to making it. I just hope they can fix the amount of time it took to make the drinks in the future.
There's tons of parking to get to Berdenas and its in a good location. I didn't get to try their food but next time I visit I'll give it a try.
