I have been waiting so long to try this place! I was in the area and needed a boost of energy...why not a coffee run? I am so glad that Dineen was in the area.
On a weekend afternoon, it sure was busy which is probably due to its great location. I absolutely love the atmosphere and decor is vintage and pretty. The vibe still felt comfortable and casual which I love! Decent amount of seats and I loved the bar like seating area behind the cash.
The staff is friendly and although it was busy, they did not forget to have a brief conversation- thumbs up to the magical people touch! Now to the coffee..I ordered a soy vanilla latte. I got a regular size (typically 4 shots of espresso..changed mine to 3). The latte was strong but went down velvety smooth. It was quite enjoyable and loved every sip. I would definitely come back to try their other drinks. Side note... Thanks to the staff for pointing out that their regular is 4 shots of caffeine :P
The pastry bar looked yummy and is definitely on my "to eat" list.
Why the missing star? I haven't tried their food items and in terms of the area... they are around various cafes and I have yet to really be able to compare.
Needless to say, I do recommend!
