sambalatte torrefazione

amazing ambiance and the live music is an added bonus. i tried the iced hazelnut latte and it was (hands down) the best and smoothest coffee i have ever had in my life. :) this is the perfectplaceto be on a sunny afternoon.

amazing ambiance with live music. i tried the iced hazelnut latte and it was (hands down) the smoothest coffee i have ever tried in my life. :) this is the perfectplaceto be on a sunny afternoon.

i've been here several times.the coffee is ok. macaroons are great.however, the stuff doesn't know ingredients of their products and they don't have information what are those cakes made of. so when you want to order something that looks good- prepare to be disappointed- it doesn't taste good! i do not recommend thisplaceas aplacewith good desserts.

i'm in the middle. we didn't sit in the restaurant...we took it to go. the food was good....but the service was so-so. it's not the first time we went and the service was so so. they people working behind the counter don't really buy into customer service which is evident by the owner's disposition toward customer service. we sat there for 20 minutes for a ham and cheese croissant. the owner never acknowledged us. he didn't apologize, offer us a cup of water....nothing! every time we go in the look of theplaceis top notch and the food is average to good but the service doesn't match up to the food nor the cute vibe of the place. will i be back...yes but i won't go out of my way...only if i'm in the boca park area!

not worth the drive. went to try thisplaceout because of all the positive reviews i've read. i wish i can say i loved this place, but i was disappointed. i ordered the nutella drink and it was weak with flavor and lacked the punch i was hoping to get. i also ordered some pastries that weren't that great. the atmosphere is great and the overall presentation was to my liking, but the quality of the drinks lacked and the disgruntled baristas seemed to put a fake smile on. too much hype for nothing great.

human bean will always be my top list. their flavors are unique and quite delicious. the baristas are always nice and they remember you by name. it's a small drive through on forte apache by tropicana and it's the closest thing to portland cafes! sambalatte just seems to be rated high because it is a beautiful cafe, trendy but not really worth a trip to the other side of town. maybe i'll go there and try again... if i'm on that side of town.

having worked for three different non-chain coffee places, i can say that i enjoy and know what a good cup of coffee is. i decided to give thisplacea try. my coffee tasted like it was burned and the shot was seven seconds at best. i loved the pastry i got but was really dissappoited with the coffee. :(. the service was also really slow. the barista had no sense of urgency what so ever. i will give it another try just because of all the fabulous reviews.

i likes it. we decided to give sambalatte a try last weekend. we brought our laptops and set up shop upstairs. theplacehas a nice vibe.

i got the nutella cappuccino and my wife got the toffee latte. both were quite good and had pretty designs in the cream on top.

i'm not a big fan of desserts, however, i gotta say they have a nice display of delicious looking treats. we didn't get any this time, but next time we go i'll have to find my sweet tooth and give one a try.

amazing! the atmosphere was very relaxed and inviting. the food was great, i highly recommend the french pastry topped with mixed berries- it will change your life. it can be crowded, but it's only because people don't ever want to leave. but there is an upstairs the most people overlook. overall a goodplaceto relax and get caught up on some work. did i mention free wifi
