Concept Coffee

“Stopped by Concept Coffee and it did not disappoint. We ordered the ube latte () and the banana cold brew smoothie. Unfortunately, we couldn't try the smoothie because the blender was giving the barista trouble but honestly, this review is just as much about her as it is the drinks. She genuinely tried for a while, clearly cared that she couldn't make it work and felt bad about not being able to give us what we ordered. That kind of effort and care goes a long way. She ended up recommending the strawberry matcha with peppermint instead which was also and refreshing. Great drinks, great energy and great service. I'll definitely be coming back.”

“I was in the mood for something different than your standard fare coffee shop breakfast and Americano, so when I saw Concept Coffee has both Avocado Foccacia and Buko Pandan Latte, I made my way there. Both are pretty darn good, though just short of exceptional. The Buko Pandan consists of espresso, Pandan syrup, coconut milk, and coconut flakes, and while it is pretty delicious thanks for the coconut milk and flakes, I really don't taste the Pandan, which is too bad because it is one of my favorite flavors. The Avocado Foccacia did a little better and it was bursting with flavors. Their stock of avocado was a bit unripe today so the guy went to the nearby market to buy a fresh one, which is appreciated. You can taste that nutty fresh avocado flavor that complements well with the Foccacia bread. The herbs of the Foccacia made every bite a yummy one, although I didn't get enough of the red peppers coming through. The only negative comment is the bread is overly hard. I like my Foccacia a bit fluffier while balancing the crispness. I also like the overall interior decor that puts a bit of the island flavor. There is no bathroom, however.”

“I want this place to be good since it's on the way to my job but the Barista didn't respond when I said hello. The coffee was burnt. The milk was poorly steamed. Maybe with a little more TLC this could hit the spot.”
