A Compact Coffee Shop that Packs a Punch

Reviews

Hidden beside a ramen shop and Guadalajara is a cute and bustling cafe. One can sit out on their patio and enjoy handcrafted lattes and pastries. Atlas Coffee is one of the finer cafes in town, although you’ll easily find yourself lost when searching for the cafe. Atlas Coffee is nuzzled in between several other restaurants, to the point that it is invisible at first glance.

After spotting the cafe, you must maneuver into the horrid parking lot behind the building. Inside, the atmosphere is vivid and friendly, although a bit cramped. The baristas are kind and more than helpful. Atlas’ menu is covered in bright art, themed to the seasonal flavors they’re carrying; Currently, it is pumpkin spice season.

As for their coffee, their espresso is medium to light roast and creamy and is comparable to Marie Bette and Grit Coffee. For Starbucks drinkers, Atlas’ espresso is similar to the blonde roast. They have a wide variety of flavors and milks fit for anyone. For sweet tooths, I’d recommend asking for extra syrup, since their drinks mostly showcase the coffee. This cafe also has beautiful latte art. 

Their pastries and breakfast items are very popular, specifically their breakfast sandwiches and baked donuts. Personally, their sandwiches weren’t anything special and were priced around $5. As for the pastries, I tried their cinnamon donuts which cost $3 dollars,  they were quite delicious.
