"Hi, the guys were cool and chill working that day. But, when I went 1-2 weeks ago…. My latte had an after taste of cigarettes. I don’t know if it’s a dirty machine or if the espresso is burnt. But, I couldn’t shake the feeling and had to make this unfortunate review for a head’s up, as to what’s going on. . . The guys were cool, though. Edit: Came back 12/19/25 & my Chai Latte had No Taste. :( I always the same drink….. But, & ordered 3 bags of tea bags and the chai is very faint and it tastes like only milk :( . The lady working was cool though :) And, I never knew there was an upstairs… The shop is very Cool and I love the ambiance. I remember when this spot was the Living Room. I like how the shop reminds me a little of the Living Room in La Jolla w its red vampire like walls. My visit Today was 4 Stars. But, due to the previous visit, I will have to even it out and put 3 stars. :/"

"This place is HUGE. Never seen a coffee spot with more seating in my life. Really cute place, Egyptian themed and has a secret door that leads to additional seating upstairs. It's a nice place to study because they have late hours. The customer service was fabulous, and the coffee was delicious. We'll be back!"

"Large selection of coffee choices. Also had food options although we just got coffee this time. We ordered the Peppermint Patty and Frozen Banana, both were typical drinks. Atmosphere was cool though. Very spacious with indoor and outdoor seating. Seemed to be a good place for studying or just to chill."

"Not bad! I think I’d come back. I came here with my husband so we can do some schoolwork. There were many others with their computers doing some type of work as well. Good environment to study, not too loud so I was able to focus and not be overwhelmed. We ordered some sandwiches & they were done within maybe 5 minutes? Possibly less? It was fast. Husband got a drink of some sort and that was fast as well. People who worked there seemed nice. Only complaint would be parking is a little annoying but it’s not the cafés fault, it’s just a product of the environment. Bathroom was nice and clean for the most part. Otherwise, nice! I’d recommend checking it out at least once!"

"I think this coffee shop desperately needs a makeover, it’s a bunch of brown chairs and brown tables. They need to make it warm, cozy and inviting and add some comfy soft seating. Come up with a new design/layout/charging stations for folks/students/workers. And what’s with the sphinx? Needs a revamp. It’s been the same for agessssss. SOMEONE PLZ INVEST IN THIS PLACE. IT HAS SOO MUCH POTENTIAL."
