    this place is so cute! I love the tall ceilings and how well decorated it is. This is such a fun hang out place with your friends for coffee in the morning. I love the concept of coffee flights. My friend and I shared the hot pour over. It was good! It was fun to identify the difference between the subtleties of coffees from different regions. They also made the coffee very well, a good pour over is key. They also offer carbonated water to clear your palate between coffees. A plus is that they offer some of the small baked items from Baked Sum! Baked sum is a fun Asian fusion pastry place. Great addition to coffee. The staff was so friendly! They were patient with us in deciding what to try. They were also helpful in giving us the notes to consider for the different coffees. It did start to get pretty busy and I could tell that people had to wait for a while. But luckily, I was there early and didn't have to wait too long! highly recommend this place! I love it.

    For those who appreciate the intricacies of third wave coffee, Crown is a gem worth exploring. This place offers an elevated coffee experience that stands out in a city teeming with cafes. I indulged in a classic latte, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The balance of flavors, the silky texture of the milk, and the expertly pulled espresso shot came together in a harmonious symphony. This is the kind of latte that coffee purists dream about. Their pastry offerings also deserve a mention. I tried the pandan milk bun, which I found to be mid+. It was decent, but didn't quite reach the heights I was hoping for. The lilikoi mochi bite, however, was a different story. Its chewy texture and vibrant flavor profile were delightful, making it a must-try. The only downside is the limited seating. The interior is cozy but can feel a bit cramped, especially during peak hours. This minor inconvenience is easily overlooked, though, given the exceptional quality of both the coffee and the pastries. If you're serious about your coffee, Crown is definitely worth a visit.

    I love my single origin coffee and this is truly the place to enjoy a really great pour over at a decent price that I'm not complaining about. They have like five single origins on bar and the baristas here definitely know their shit lol Really cute space and though not much indoor seating, there is a beautiful outdoor seating option that I personally loved especially that the weather is getting warmer now
