Didn't know it existed until today and now I have a lot of catching up to do. Started with their blended chocolate coffee bean with raspberry added and it's definitely a drink I'll return to. Located on the floor 1 lobby of the Lexus dealership. Come try it!

Tasty sandwiches and coffees/drinks with friendly staff. Its location was a bit odd (being centered in the middle of the Lexus dealership); but we are glad we gave it a chance and it didn’t disappoint us. Will come back!

This coffee shop is hidden but open for the public, it is located inside the Lexus dealer. Ruby is one of the ladies working there and she's always far and beyond with customer service. The coffee this lovely ladies make is quality tastes better than comercial Coffee Shops

An interesting little coffee shop located on the bottom floor of the building that houses Vintanas and a Lexus dealership. It has a very open entrance, so it feels like it is a part of the dealership. It's not. It's a small separate business. There is plenty of seating available. It has a very upscale feel to the bar area, where you can sit and enjoy a drink. There are also other tables around to sit at. The staff here have always been friendly and attentive. There is a large variety of coffee options to choose from. They also serve food like sandwiches and breakfast items, smoothies too. Blended coffee drinks are also on the menu! If you like exploring small and unique coffeee shops, this definitely makes the list. Grab a coffee and roam around the lexus dealership or nearby shops and restaurant. It's a pleasant place to find somewhere to sit. Parking is a bit odd. You can park in the front in the dealership parking lot area, or there is a huge 3 story parking lot around the back of the building. Park on any lever and walk in, then take the elevator to the first floor.

This place is inside the Lexus dealer. Kinda crazy location. Abraham is the best barista ever. So welcoming and friendly. Great coffee. If you don't mind drinking coffee next to a 100k car, this is the place for you.

My Americano was great! My Grand daughter loved her Vanilla Latte. I had a Sausage Egg Burrito. It was Yummy! Oatmeal was Quaker in the little packages. What would be really cool is placing packages out where they can be seen and have hot water in a carafe Allowing customers to make their own. Providing condiments like dried cranberries, raisins, nuts, seeds, dried berries, dried apples would be great!
