It was a semi-long wait time but it was soo worth it. I've seen the line out the door most times. I got the turmeric latte decaf which was awesome and then egg bacon and cheese on sour dough was one of the best I've ever had. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating and the service was great! The pastry was also amazing. Definitely a must go to!

We had seasonal drinks that were amazingly good: cherry coke espresso & the rose seasonal latte. Can't remember the cute names they had! We also had breakfast items that were delicious from the sandwiches to the avocado toast, which is huge. The line was constantly out the door and we were lucky to snag a table but I think it was worth it!

Beautiful space. I came here at 9:45am and got my coffee around 10:30. A bit of a wait. I was there for two hours and there was a really long line out the door the whole time. Espresso was good. Bathroom on site. Indoor and outdoor seating. Small lot with handful of space. 1-2 blocks away there are tons of free street parking.

I live on the same block as this locally owned and well know coffee spot. On weekends, there is a line out the door and almost to my house. It isn't just because of their seasonal coffee menu, amazing rotating pastries, or small but unique breakfast options. The community was already in love with bandit but we fell head over heals about them during the cat 5 hurricane last October. When the communities' power was out, and there wasn't gas for miles, those of us wondering around the block found bandit, handing out hot meals to the community when we had no way of cooking for ourselves. There were even vegan options. The way their employees came together to give out free food from their failing freezer is honestly heart wrenching. The owners and employees had bright smiles and were a true beacon of light in one of the cities darkest moments. Thank you bandit!

This has been on our list since we moved to town! Walked here with our dog on an early Sunday afternoon, which I'm sure was the busiest time of the week. The interior was very open and bright, and the outside areas were welcoming. We shared a picnic table with another couple since there wasn't as much table space compared to how many customers there were. The line was super long so we decided to get a table outside with our doggie and order pickup at the window. We half and halfed the Spicy Chicken Biscuit and the BLT, and I also got a Maple Bourbon Cold Brew. Took about 15 minutes to come out. The food was absolutely delicious, the aioli in the BLT made a huge different in the sandwich. Added a lot of moisture to the crunchiness of the bacon and bread. The biscuit was also delicious, I wish they offered ranch with it but nonetheless the chicken was perfectly crispy. The coffee was okay, more affordable than most coffee places now which I appreciated. Will definitely be coming back!

Ohhhh my goodness this mocha was seriously to die for! The chocolate flavor came through perfectly and went really well with the smooth coffee in there. The ambiance is super cute and has a good amount of seating. The cup they serve the drinks in is adorable and you can buy it there as well (I will be going back to buy one soon!) The service was super quick and they get your coffee to you almost immediately. Expect to wait in a line to order, but it moves pretty quickly. I will definitely be coming back and I see why this place is so popular!

They open at 7:30 and by the time I got there at 8 there were about seven people ahead of me ready to order. But the staff behind the counter were professional, right on top of each order and willing to help anyone with questions (like me). Every customer, after ordering and paying, receives a colored number on a stand which you place where you sit. My order, passion fruit kombucha (on tap!), a gingerbread croissant and a Snack Parfait consisting of vanilla bean yogurt, granola (house blend), seasonal jam and sea salt took only about five minutes to get to my table. There was more to the croissant than I had anticipated and I had fun eating it, taking as many crumbs along with the moist and flavorful croissant as I could. It was topped off with a sprig of rosemary for appearance but, already a fan of the herb, I gladly ate it. The presence of the ginger wasn't at all strong as you'd find in ginger root because it was expertly balanced with confectioner's sugar. The blend of yogurt, granola and jam seemed made for each other, an epicurean ménage-a-trois if you will with the salt subdued in its presence. Blending passion fruit juice with oolong tea in a kombucha is a great idea as the combination flows very smoothly down your throat with an added freshness to its very nature. I highly recommend this place for a light breakfast and as a way to spend a quiet time on your computer. They are also open for lunch and have a great selection of beer, wine, coffee and tea.

Such a great place! Luckily, we got a table outside with shade to enjoy our breakfast burritos and ice tea. I love that they made our ice tea fresh. The burritos were good. Meat for him, vegan for me. I didn't love the extra tomatoey sauce in the vegan one. It was too much, and it was not easy to take out. The croissant we tried was delicious.
