I ordered a nitro cold brew with 6 pumps of caramel which was perfect, leaving me satisfied and energized. Overall, a great experience.

The barista was friendly and had a sense of humor. The music was pleasant, upbeat yet blandly inoffensive. The line wasn't bad. I used to use mobile ordering more but I can't save money with my personal cup if I use that service. The coffee itself was, as always, fine.
