A little surprised by the low ratings since I received one of the best Lavender Oat Lattes at this cafe. Like wow! That lavender syrup knocks it out of the park. It isn't too sweet and the lavender flavor did not taste artificial. I had a taste of my friend's vanilla latte and it was equally as solid. I'll admit $1 for syrup and $1 for oat milk seems like a steep price -- I paid $30 for four drinks. But I think the quality of the drinks was well worth it. There's plenty of places to sit (outside and around), so this cafe is a perfect place to have a chill start to your morning. Staff was super friendly as well, so I'll definitely be back here for another latte!

This place is one of my favorite places to get an iced coffee. It wasn't watered down or acidic. You could add flavors and milk that you'd like. They have popular flavors but they also have unique flavors if you like to venture out with your coffee. The pastries also pair well with their coffee, especially the cookies. Their staff is friendly and the service is quick. They have a small seating area outside.

Love this place! Great little alleyway, tiny hole in the wall café. But the coffee itself was really excellent. The baked goods were fairly good, but not excellent (I was very surprised that the croissants were served cold, and not heated up). But definitely come here for the coffee!

I really enjoy stopping by Temescal Alley and it was surprisingly my first time trying the CRO cafe. It was a beautiful weekend morning so what better way than to start with an iced vanilla latte? They have delicious vanilla lattes here that I will get again. Their menu is simple but if you're not craving caffeine they also have some pastries for purchase in their case.
