What customers say

The ambiance and flavor have won out this five star review. When reading other reviews on this thread I understand that you might not want to wait ten minutes for coffee. However going to a coffee shop and enjoying espresso correctly is a way of life and an artistic experience. So as they say, you can’t rush Art.

Cartel Roasting Co is by far my favorite coffee shop. The atmosphere is relaxed but full of energy, and it’s the kind of place you can hang out, work, or just enjoy a really good cup of coffee. Luke makes the best lattes I have ever had, smooth, creamy, and crafted with care every time.

Today was my first time visiting the cafe and it was a lovely experience! Nice and spacious space for studying, there are extension cords on the floor which is convenient for charging your study devices. Baristas were so friendly and made great drinks. Got two drinks: the iconic tonic and lavendar matcha latte.
