Espresso Honey Oat Latte Oat Milk Rude Barista Cappuccino Small Local Café Welcoming People Baked Goods Pastries Branding
Saul Cervantes
May 15, 2026"Small little coffee shop, the barista was very nice. There isn't room inside to sit and they only have one bench outside for seating but there's an entire park on the other side of the street where there's plenty of seating. It's a very nice way to spend some time, if you have it. Just sit and relax with your drink and pastry. The park has shade from the tall beautiful trees that surround it and there are jungle gyms so if you have a little one, both of you will have something to do. I got the Honey Oat Latte with a blueberry scone. Both were delicious, definitely gave me the morning pick me up I needed to start my day."
