Cute little coffee shop with some great flavor options that aren't common at other places. I'll be sure to stop by again next time I'm in town!
Their lattes are magical! Their orange blossom, lavender, banana, and rosemary are my personal favorites! As you drink them, they change flavor profiles and get better and better! The way the create their drinks is amazing and the decor on the inside is so cute and cozy. If you're visiting Uptown and want a quick boost, give First Sip a try!
Very cute little coffee shop. A lot of space to sit down and work. I got the orange blossom latte and it was a little strange because it felt like drinking orange chicken. Probably wouldn't order again but it wasn't bad. I enjoyed that it wasn't too sweet. Service was prompt and a large variety of coffees and teas to choose from. A few staples for snacks/food available as well.
Very cute place to study in uptown
The Golden Coffee. Delicious.
