Quick service. Being remote workers we always look for place to work with good wifi and this place hit all our needs. We went on a Friday and was able to secure a space for ourselves.

Vanny Uat15.02.2025

Great place to work, study and people watching.

Samantha Shepherd15.02.2025

Good coffee and decent food. Very cute inside. I came in today to do some work. I had to change tables a couple of times because the temperature was 86° inside (via the thermostat) and the sun kept hitting where I was seated. There is no AC or fans. Bummed, I left because I couldn't concentrate. Cute place, but not the best during hot summer days to work.

Janai Wallace15.02.2025

Awesome little coffee shop. Great place to work remote. Plenty of plugs all around the shop. Lots of tables, plants, and table top books to browse.

Diego J. Ríos Lineros15.02.2025

Excelent place to work! Very cute, hip, and homy and lots of seating. Definitely recommend, but quite expensive.

Ana Ituarte Alba15.02.2025

Coffee was very good!
I didn't get to try any of the food but will come back for it 😋

Love that there is a lot of seating space.
Lots out outside seating as well, and it's so pretty with the plant store next door 😍

I love the cups and mugs they sell with the brand, they're so cute! They have a lot of cute little trinkets, and if I remember correctly they even sold these beautiful packaged blunts for headaches 😂 not sure if cbd or fullblown 🌿🌿🌿, but putting it out there just in case this is of interest to anyone.

I also love that they sell dried flower arrangements 😍🌷🌼 the bouquets are SO BEAUTIFUL and well made, I want to come back and get some to decorate my home!

Looks like an ideal place to sit and work while you sip on some coffee and have a snack, saw a lot of people doing it lol, I'm definitely coming here when I have projects to work on.

Love this place. Always come for the latte flights. Also a fantastic place to get some work done on your computer!

Yenderson Jss15.02.2025

Loved this place! Perfect to work for a few hours and enjoy a nice coffee! It’s usually pretty busy so get there early!

Stephanie15.02.2025

Great place for working and grabbing a bite from. However wifi can be slow. Brightly lit with a ton of indoor and outdoor seating. There are outlets next to most tables. Their acai bowl and latte were both yummy!

Suzy Aguilar15.02.2025

Favorite place to work from! Getting a table can be a pain depending on the time you go, but the environment is calming and aesthetic, and their drinks are so yum!

Jennifer Elliot15.02.2025

The coffee is good and the vibe is super cute. It is impossible to find a place to sit. People sit in here for hours upon hours, and every single one of them has a laptop in front of them. Kind of brutal.

John Etler15.02.2025

Communal Coffee is best for its atmosphere/ambience. the baristas are all friendly. but it is the variety of customers and clientele which makes this place worthy. mostly younger crowd, university students, all polite; many equipped with macbooks n other apple products. one can leave one's laptop open to frequent the restroom, n rest assured it will still be where one left it on return; or left longer, turned into lost'n'found
used as a second office. highly recommended

Trevor Rameil15.02.2025

Great coffee. Pricey. wifi kinda slow.

Giovanna Mantilla15.02.2025

Lovely spot for a good cup of coffee and a fancy snack / lunch. Nice employees with great customer service. Nice tunes playing all the time. The place is jammed packed for the most part so it’s hard to find a seat.

4* only because the wifi is pretty weak. Been here about 20 times and always expect to have to tether internet off my phone.

SD “SD Stock Trader” Trader15.02.2025

Place is always packed which is good one would think for business, but no one is ordering, just using the wifiworking” and there is no open tables. Order food/drinks or leave. Hanging out for hours after ordering a small coffee and water to use the wifi isn’t good for neighbors trying to relax for 20-30min with a bagel and coffee.

Jake Davis15.02.2025

Not always clear from these reviews so let me just say for those looking: this is a solid spot to work from. wifi, etc. Good drinks, didn't try the food.
