“ Fantastic coffee and Great service!! Got spiked white chocolate cappuccino and it was phenomenal! Great seating indoors and outdoors! Fantastic baristas ”
“ I was there on a super busy day (pride parade day) and the staff was very friendly and the service was quick even though the line never really disappeared. I assume on a normal day, there is probably not a line like that. I really liked the Dubai Chocolate Latte I got. It is on their summer special flavor board; so it may not be around at other times of the year. Definitely stop by if you haven't been! ”
“ They have the best drinks and food. I enjoy traveling and trying new coffee shops and Tandem is definitely in my top 3. I love coming here to study or chill, the Southwest wrap and Matcha are amazing Staff is super friendly and you can tell they all enjoy being there ”
“ I happen to find this place when I was looking for a local coffee shop near me that was not the standard Starbucks. When I tell you, this coffee was so good. It was amazing. It tasted like real espresso and the Syrup and milk blended so well . The king cake cold was amazing. My croissant sandwich was to die for this might have been a quick little pick up trip for me, but I will definitely come here from now on when I run out of my own espresso or when I wanna treat myself to something nice cause this was just phenomenal and staff and atmosphere was amazing!10/10 recommend ”

“ This is awesome little locally owned small business. They have a very unique twist on some traditional cocktails and some very unique one-of-a-kind that they've come up with. The service there is outstanding everybody we interacted with was very friendly and helpful and answered questions about the cocktails and food. These drinks are very specialized and high quality this is not something you're going to find at your run-of-the-mill bar. If you're looking to sit back and have a cup of coffee or unique cocktail or some very unique food dishes this is a place to stop in and try. ”
