You asked about the 3 star, I changed it to 4. The pastery wasn't so fresh or the Croissant was just a rubbery croissant. It's a good thing I chose to warm it up. The coffee was ok.( life was not changed, or whatever your slogan is )

Very comfortable place to hang out. good lattes and cafe snacks (including crescents, quichés, and cookies). The atmosphere is very welcoming but people often come here to study or do work, so be mindful of that -- there's even a conference room!At the same time tho, there's a bunch of board games available too so it probably gets more lively in the afternoons/evenings (I've only been in the mornings)There's also some outdoor seating, and the outdoor space is nice but only a few tables are lucky enough to be in the shade

New to this coffee shop so I tried something different. I think I need to try it again and get something I am more used to. Decor is cute and inviting. Very college hang out vibe. Employee's were courteous and helpful. Will return.

Worst coffee I’ve ever tried. I ordered a regular latte and I could tell the coffee had been burnt and it tasted horrible. I would describe this place as bad and overpriced . Wouldn’t recommend trying at all ???? this place is a total NO for me.

To start with the positives, thank you for vegan options!! Also looks like a great place for studying/getting work done. For areas for improvement the blueberry loaf was dry and mediocre especially for the price. Only almond milk available for nondairy, and latte ended up being more of an americano topped with a splash of almond milk. Unfortunately the taste was nothing special either.

The latte was watered down espresso and the house-made Oatmilk was a fail. Offered me an espresso shot and it was bitter. I can make better at home. Cafeteria coffee at best. Many of the reviews sound like shills.

The space is really cool! Great vibes, both indoor and outdoors. Plenty of seating and the board game really makes it seem like a place to come hangout. That said the drinks is where it fell flat. Both myself and my friend did not enjoy ours. I tried a pumpkin latte and she had a chai. The chai seemed watered down and the pumpkin flavor was off. Additionally they were both luke warm, not hot. Neither of us had any food.

the atmosphere here was great and we quickly picked up on it while we were ordering. we did get their hot creme brulee flavored coffee but they were out of oat milk which was fine. i noticed at a quick glance that there were signs showing that this coffee shop supports different non profit organizations and had availability to donate to that charity. there were a ton of students inside with laptops and a cool space available to rent for meetings which was different from other locations. there is also a patio available to the community who want to sip in the fresh air outside.

1st time at Sanctuary Coffee, Looks small from the outside. When you walk in, Woow, hugh, with plenty of seating indoors, outside in front and outside in back. An enclosed meeting room also. Starbuck's and Coffee Bean has nothing on this place for Coffee. I had a bagel and cream cheese. Left to go to a meeting and came back for meeting after the meeting. Great Coffee, Great and Awesome job to the owners who thought of having lots of room and comfortable seating for the customers. I would tell you not to go there but, that would be selfish of me wanting to keep it to myself and my business partners. Believe me if you haven't been there! Go. Go, Go!! Music not the screaming memes, nice and laid back. You can actually here yourself think. Ok, I can go on and on about how I have never been so impressed. Just go see for yourself!

Sanctuary coffee is kind of a trip. You want to like it but, it also makes you wonder. For instance I know they donate all their stuff back to things that need it but their place is really sparkly shiny and someone invested a lot of money in it. I find that places that you invest a whole lot of money is done for a whole lot of reason, and not usually the reason people state. Having said that, I drank their matcha which, to be honest, was kind of like drinking dishwater. I then tried a coffee drink, and it was mediocre at best. So, it's a place you want to like but one shouldn't strive too high with a place like this. It does look like it's good for schooling, I mean students and they've got lots of games and things like this. Someone thought this out and I give props to that; the staff are friendly and it seems like a great place but one shouldn't come away with an elitist feeling that you're making the world a better place by going there, that's all I mean.
