PINK OWL COFFEE is like if starbucks were to have personality and tasty coffee. Thr drinks are coffees and teas as a base and they add what I assume is syrups of flavor.PINK OWL has unique flavors and what seems to be an ever changing menu of seasonal drink compositions. It's a good place to write, read and get hopped up on sugar and caffeine.
This is a really great place, it has multiple spaces where you can dedicate yourself to your studies or work, while enjoying the smell of fresh coffee. You can also buy several types of coffee and From different parts of the world, obviously the one from Colombia and the one from Ethiopia are the best. Do not hesitate to visit them. The plus of this place is the excellent attention of its workers and its delicious desserts.
I just love owls so when a date suggested we try this place I was absolutely down! It's super cute and the coffee is good. Outdoor seating is above average for quality for sure.
I happened upon Pink Owl Coffee yesterday and I'm glad I did. My cappuccino was very tasty, the service very friendly, and the atmosphere was great. There is lots of comfortable seating both indoors and out. I'll definitely stop in again the next time I'm in San Rafael.
Great coffees! Cute spot. Friendly staff.Only read on if you care about bagels. (And now I seem to have written more on coffee at the end.)The New Yorker in me requires me to inform other East Coasters of the following. The "Everything" Bagel at Pink Owl should be called the "Both" Bagel, 'cause it's just sesame seeds and poppy seeds, (and to be fair and honest maybe a teensy bit of dehydrated onion and/or garlic, burnt beyond recognition by toasting, which is certainly not the fault of staff, but rather inadherence in preparation to dehydrated seasoning size standards in bagel toppings). Most notably though, it was missing salt—a key component of the classic and standard Everything Bagel, (which admittedly never actually includes everything as that would be a heavy burden for a bagel to bear). I can't take a star away for any of this though as it's as close an approximation of a real bagel as can be found west of the Mississippi. I'd have another, but maybe just sesame.Coffee! Very good. I had a generous mug of the Costa Rican light/medium roast. It was delicious. Nutty and bold and more like a medium+ roast to me, but the flavors still came though nicely. Since I've lived in Colombia it's become clear to me that American roasting conventions lean heavily towards the overroasted norms of *$$ (that was meant to be Star(*)bucks($$), not a$$, btw, although we can all agree that's what their coffee tastes like without a ton of the additional flavors they encourage you to pump into it) and the like. I hope the Colombian beans I've gotten to go are on the lighter roast side. I'll edit this if there's any substantial news to be had about them.Just a last note. Look at a whole bean of coffee from wherever in the U.S. and the level of roast the spot/brand claims, then Google coffee roasting chart and see the difference. Lighter roasted coffees are actually stronger (more caffeine in there) and more flavorful. I'm not talking about blond roasts or anything absurd, but beans that are more of a milk chocolate color than bakers chocolate or coal. Pink Owl seems to get this more correct than most spots. I could be placing this rant in the wrong review, but, as we say in Español, "ya que."If you've read this whole thing I'd like to send you a nice thank you note. Do please send a SASE to me.
Hands down Best Muffin I've ever had! Customer service is lacking...maybe they need a Caffeine Boost! Boom lol
Coffee is great and the cafe is very cute lots of seating books and pink owl merchandise ? music is great also
Excellent mocha. Good quality and service. Friendly to service animals.
Friendly staff. And unique spring coffee items. Totally worth a stop in and try something different.Recommend the blood orange white chocolate mocha iced.
Fantastic coffee, welcoming and efficient staff, delicious little cakes, nice atmosphere, easy parking. Not great food options though, but other than that all is great!
