Service was amazing. The Vietnamese coffee was good but I just couldn’t stomach much of it. Maybe it’s me. I ordered a quad.
I’ll be back. Really liked the vibe here.

Much prefer to find a Sweetwater location than Starbucks. The food variety and freshness is very good for the price point. There is a REAL egg on my sandwich and not a gross sponge-like circle. Cool art and glassware for sale. I feel like this place is more of what Starbs was 20 years ago. The NEWCITY location is my favorite because of the plaza seating and big windows. Service is always pleasant and tbh I care less about service these days and more about eating real food.
