Coffee & Tea
Local coffee shops and roasters
They’re a few minutes south off of the 15 freeway but worth it if you enjoy great coffee and want to bring home a bag or two of their expertly roasted beans. We love their Vietnamese iced coffee, Mexican mocha, and crème brûlée latte for specialty drinks, but really any of their coffee drinks are amazing!

Bring your own to-go cups or you can purchase their jar cups to keep or return for refund on next visit. Really enjoyed their iced latte with condensed milk, not too sweet, just right!

We always order “medium cheese” on our pizza, they are VERY generous with the cheese if not specified (usually I’m all about more cheese, but in their case it’s basically a cheese steak on top of your toppings 😆)
