text: I love this place The first time I came in here I had never had a latte except at crappy Starbucks or mediocre Xtreme Bean shops When I took the first sip I knew this was a whole different drink A grin spread across my face as I got first a touch of light airy foam then rich milk and finally the smooth taste of the espresso I thought I would get used to this but I have been going there for nearly a year at times almost every morning and no matter what I get from there it puts a grin on my face except the agave latte I cannot believe people drink that Even the noncoffeesnobby drinks like the vanilla latte the chai or the mocha are brilliant I do not go in as often as I used to now because I buy their beans and make my coffee at home mimicking their setup as best as I cannnAs far as the service yes it is true there is some times a bit of attitude but quite honestly you are paying a little more to get a skilled person to make you a delicious drink of the caliber you can only get at a select few places in the valley If you want a fakesmiling robot who does not know how to pull a shot go to Starbucks If you want a real human barista who will learn your name and your drink and yes maybe mock you a little bit for being a phillistine and we all are sometimes then Cartel is the place for younnThe only reason I only give it stars is that they do not serve food I think they said it is because they do not have a food license at this location or some such and it might be kind of small for a cafe anyway but it really would be nice to be able get something to eat here too
