Customer Reviews
Love this spot! Cute environment both indoors and outdoors. Definitely a good spot to do some work. Staff is very friendly and food and drinks were prepared pretty quickly! We had the breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich, and guava croissant. All were really delicious. We got them without meat and they were still very filling. Also got the rosemary latte and maple brown sugar matcha latte. Some of the best coffee and matcha we've had! The restroom was also nice and clean. Definitely recommend this coffee shop!
After 3 visits, I’m done. The drinks are way below average! Their matcha latte was so diluted it just tasted like plain milk. Today, I ordered at 3:50 PM and got no heads up that they closed at 4:00 PM. Had I known, I wouldn't have wasted my money. Zero communication and poor value.
Work In Progress (WIP) has completely mastered the art of coffee, especially the pour over. This is not just a coffee shop. It is a place where precision, patience, and respect for the craft are unmistakably present in every cup. For anyone unfamiliar, a pour over is a manual brewing method where hot water is slowly poured over freshly ground coffee, allowing the barista to control every variable such as water temperature, flow rate, bloom time, and extraction. When done correctly, it produces a cup that is exceptionally clean, nuanced, and expressive of the bean’s origin. You should taste clarity, balance, and layers of flavor that evolve as the coffee cools, never bitterness and never muddiness. At WIP, the pour over experience is executed at the highest level. The coffee arrives perfe
This is a super cute area, and a hidden gem nonetheless. I got a Matcha latte with an Ube milk, it was pleasantly sweet, but not overbearingly sweet. The Matcha flavor was not as prominent as I would like, but it makes sense since I did get an Ube flavoring to it. We also got a regular latte with a maple brown sugar syrup, which was pretty delicious. The seasonal summer sandwich I got was very good and the breakfast burrito was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and it was a pretty clean coffee shop overall. I would definitely come back here, but I recommend getting there early since the parking does tend to be on the terrible side as it fills up pretty quick.
Friendly service. Their coffee options are pretty good. Matcha is pretty ok. Parking could be challenging but it’s worth the effort. They have decent food options as well.
