A great coffee in a high vibe cost cafe... If you can find a seat. The coffee is worth it though. Also, the bombaloni!

The downtown location is hand down THE best location of all Olympicos. Yes, it's just as chaotic & busy, though you gotta give it to the staff. Justin & his team create such a beautiful community vibe 🙌 It's their warm energy, attention to detail, & integrity that converts people - like myself & countless others - into regulars. Grateful we have this spot as our'Cheers'.

To the staff: huge thank you for the delicious coffee & good times every time 🫶

I ordered an affogato which I always do! However the ice cream was so so bad so I asked them to change it for a remix & so far what I got was worse! Although I am used to enjoy my coffee regularly here but I don't think I would recommend it anymore! Quality not same apparently! Ho cod this in the picture be a remix?

I didn't like the experience at all ! The place is so small that I had my coffee near the trash can! The service is horrible as well ! The barista was kind but the person who took my order was rude! Absolutely not worth it
