Flava coffee is really lovely, a cozy, comfortable space! Great selection of unique, flavorful coffee options. The lunch menu is also nice and I highly recommend the chicken gouda sandwich, it was delicious!

★★★★★ 5.0 Sarah Kitt · Feb 2026

This is a really pleasant cafe. The seats are comfortable, the windows are nice and big, and the overall atmosphere is just really welcoming and nice. There are many delicious sounding drinks and teas (a surprisingly big tea menu for a coffee shop) and the food is really delicious and made to order. The menu changes from breakfast to lunch, and there are many healthy and unique options. Love the sweet potato and kale with ancient grains bowl, so many flavors and textures! Everything I've had here has been good.

Love Flava!! One of my go-tos for the last 2 years (don’t know why it took me so long to leave a review…). Decor is beautiful - modern yet creative - and showcases local artists. Very clean. Great music that is not blasting. Perfect place for collaboration or focus work. The butter croissants are sooo good. Staff are friendly and the owner is AMAZING.

Wow!! Tried Flava coffee for the first time today with my partner and had a wonderful time! Delicious coffee, really warm espresso taste, offers nondairy milk and breakfast/lunch options, and the staff were very friendly. This place is welcoming, inviting, supports the community and is clearly social justice oriented. They have comfy couches, cute murals, cute lights and it isn’t too loud here either :) could see it as a nice study/relax spot. Will be back some time for sure

Always love supporting local, BIPOC businesses. If I lived in the area, this would be totally my go to coffee shop. Coffee was great. I just had a pastry but looks like there’s a food menu too. Lots of seating available when I went, although early on a weekday. Parking is in the back. Amazing music. Great book selection from Black Garnet Books. I didn’t have much time to browse the selection but it is something to do for next time.
