"I don’t know why this place is so highly rated, maybe for the ambience. Anyway, the espresso drinks are just a little bit better than Starbucks, and nowhere near the excellent cafes in town like Harvest, What’s The Buzz, Polite, Carport, Tavo, or even Gogh Gogh. It’s a chain, and the coffee tastes like it is from a chain. The only saving grace is that there are actual human baristas pulling shots from a quality Slayer machine instead of just pressing buttons on a super-automatic Thermoplan machine. However, the coffee they use is extremely average (even though they claim it’s freshly roasted) and the shots pulled are okay at best. Same for the food. We got a strawberry and a cream cheese kolache and they were chewy and doughy instead of being soft and pillowy like in most other places in town. Very disappointing. The service was excellent and the baristas were more than happy to indulge my questions about the coffee and equipment used. The atmosphere is also cool and hip (my guess as to why this place is so highly rated). I assume they have free WiFi too (not sure) which is bound to attract even more people. They actually have single-origin coffees which I wished they could use for espresso (I asked but they said those are for pour-overs only). Pardon me if this review seems snobbish, but the coffee culture in Bryan-College Station is shaping up quite nicely and this place doesn’t keep up with the competition, unfortunately."

"This is my favorite coffee shop in town. The service is good and they don't play Christian music all the time. Just a normal music mix with really tasty coffee, and good seating options. There is some decent outdoor seating as well, plus a large kids play area with playground equipment. Not sure where they source the muffins, but those are good as well."

"It has a modern design and good quality coffee. Not all the tables have power outlets but there some chairs next to power outlets. I did not test the WiFi but I assume it’s good enough to do your daily tasks.The menu items could have more variety. Overall approved by girlfriend :)"

"Love this place! Perfect for families with little, good coffee, place to have a small group meeting. Also the best gluten-free baker in town has her products here - kettlebells by Chelsea Ketelar"

"This is what BCS has been missing! The simple vanilla latte is delicious. We also tried the cinnamon rolls and they were so soft! The main reason we decided to try this place was because we wanted somewhere my daughter could play while I got a coffee. Wasn’t sure what to expect but both the playground and latte were amazing! I was able to sip on my coffee and my daughter had the best time at the playground. Playground does get a little hot but it has partial shade and once fall comes around we will def be stopping here more often to sit outside in their patio area. They have giant ceiling fans which also help keep you cool. Really liked that they also play music outside in the patio area. Overall love it!"
