This is EXACTLY what this area needed - a non-Starbucks coffee shop. Yay!!!
I heard about this place through Unlokt, a local app and website that introduces new and trending spots to their members.
Serenade is located next to Patty's closet on Rainbow and Windmill. The shop offers an indoor and outdoor seating area, which is great right now as the weather is still perfect and not quite freezing cold yet.
On my first visit I had an iced coffee, just to see what their coffee was like. It was delicious! Loved it. They carry soy milk, no almond milk just yet but they did tell me that they are working on carrying it very soon.
My friend had a cup of Vanilla Chai which was absolutely amazing! They were making some strawberry tea and offered us a sample to try. It smelled amazing somehow, but it wasn't very tasty, but they were just sampling the product to see if they should bring it in. No points lost there. :)
My next visit I brought my daughter for dessert . We ordered a pineapple juice and a lemon cream cake. Everything was awesome! We were very impressed with the dessert and I absolutely love their juices. Very impressive.
The only thing I will say in the negative is that their pricing is a little steep and something about their seating doesn't make you want to stay. I think they can make it more inviting some how. But other than that, it's great!
We will definitely be regulars here. :)
