Homeboy Coffee excels at providing a variety of unique drinks that cater to all taste preferences. For those inclined towards tea, the Tea Latte selections like the Hojicha and Masala Chai captivate with their aromatic complexity. Coffee lovers shouldn't miss the Homeboy Latte or the Spanish Latte; both are highly recommended by regulars who savor their smooth, rich flavors. As Alejandro mentions, the Homeboy Latte provides a delightful honey oat sweetness, making it a must-try for visitors, even for those not typically fans of honey oat.

Customers appreciate the attentiveness of the staff, who are always ready to help you navigate the menu or suggest pairings. Brandon shared his delight over a savory cheese and kale croissant paired with his breve milk coffee. It's worth noting that prices are a tad on the higher end, but many feel that the experience is worth every penny.

When homeboys opened up, it was amazing. I would get coffee here all the time. However, I feel like the quality of the coffee isn’t the same anymore. It’s more on the milky side, if that’s your preference. Still come time to time hoping to get that same quality again. Recommend Homeboy latte or Spanish latte for first timers!

So good! I ordered the Homeboy Coffee with breve milk and a cheese/ kale croissant so yummy. The total price for both was $11.50, which is a little pricey and the reason for my 4 stars. But definitely check it out if you're in the area. Also, this is located in the shopping center/ plaza next to 7/11.

Wanted to try this spot cause of the Cat design on their cup haha. They have a variety of choices for coffee , food and other drinks. It took me a while to choose but I went with the homeboy latte (not the cold brew) and I loved it. Sweet honey oat flavor to perfection. Definitely a must try before branching out to any other drink, even if you aren’t a honey oat fan. It gets packed but you should still be able to find seating. Music is actually loud for my taste, lots of people talking, but they have an outside seating area as well!

Polite staff and a clean environment. The service was excellent. They were welcoming and assisted me in deciding what to try as it was my first time there. A bit too much cinnamon in the Spanish latte but otherwise a smooth and flavorful drink.

The homeboy coffee and Matcha drink was very good I was pleasantly surprised and I had the coffee cake, the waffle and the popular cookie croissant with filling. Everything tasted yummy and I will be coming back I’m not a big crowd person and it was busy on a Saturday. The place is a looking minimalist vibe and clean. I’ll go again on a week day and see if it’s not as busy but it definitely didn’t stop us from getting our larger order to us within 5mins.

I was looking for a coffee shop nearby and this place popped up on Google. It’s a modern coffee shop with Bauhaus decor. They offer unique drinks like Ube Matcha Latte and Sweet Corn Cream Latte. The staff is friendly and they work fast. This place gets really busy, but this team is top notch knocking out all the online orders and walk-in orders in a timely matter. I ordered the Cereal Latte which has vanilla, honey and cinnamon, which reminded me of a cinnamon toast crunch but in drink form. The Barista stepped up his game with this Pegasus foam artwork and that was very impressive, especially since there were a lot of customers. I will definitely be coming back here.
