“ What a cute little gem! The space overall is pretty small, but there are at least 10 tables where you can sit at. The staff is really sweet and the music is great! Coffee is perfectly made. The food could be better. My bagel egg and cheese was pretty dry. There was more bread than anything. It does come with an aïoli, but I didn't really enjoy that. It kind of taste like a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise. It was quite sweet, not the Sriracha flavor I was expecting. food issues aside, this was a great experience. I was able to bring my laptop and get work done with no issues with their Wi-Fi. Parking on the street is pretty easy depending on what time you come. I would suggest coming early if you're hoping to sit inside because it does get super crowded. Definitely a great spot to get some work done if you don't mind the noise and commotion of a busy coffee shop. would recommend to anyone looking for a quick bite, some great coffee (try the white lightning), and a nice atmosphere. Access to the Wi-Fi requires a password that you can find at the checkout counter or by asking a staff member. ”
“ Oh White Electric - I will always love you. That being said, I find myself visiting you less & less because your coffee drinks are nearing the craft cocktail price range. I can't bring myself to spend that kind of money on coffee on the regular. You are an expensive habit! Another thing - Your special coffee drinks are really fun & creative, but deadly sweet. I usually ask for your drinks "half sweet" for that reason. During my last visit, I forgot to ask for "half sweet" & you gave me a drink so sweet that I felt real, tangible fear that my teeth might fall out. Lecker, aber zu süß! ”
“ Food is great. So is the service. This is the kind of place you want to support because it's worker-owned. They have stuff for vegans or dairy-free people like myself. The coffee isn't bitter and the vibe reminds me of pre-phone coffee shop. Highly recommend. ”
“ This would be my second time getting a latte from this shop, and I'm rating it good. A total hipster hangout, everything is chill vibes and cool guys. The blueberry cardamom latte was fire, as was the everything bagel sandwich- even tho they made it wrong, still delish. Parking is whack and it's very small inside but the service was friendly and the coffee/food was great. ”
“ This was our first time at White Electric after receiving a recommendation from a friend. This cafe has a really quirky design with a lot of artwork from my childhood (80's/90's). This shop does seem a little congested, so I wouldn't recommend it for working remotely, although you could if you don't get easily distracted. I got the ice matcha latte with a pump of vanilla. The matcha was perfectly sweetened, had an earthy flavor, and was granular. My wife got the iced caramel latte beverage with brown sugar and she said it was amaaaaazing. This spot is definitely worth a try, so go ahead and GET YOU SOME! -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT ”
“ Cute little shop that seems to be popular with the laptop crowd. Every seat inside seemed to be taken up by people typing away. Luckily there was NO ONE enjoying the beautiful weather while they enjoyed their coffee, so I had a place to sit and enjoy a late breakfast. I ordered one of their specialty drinks, a honey cinnamon latte and an everything bagel with cream cheese. The coffee was really good. The honey wasn't lost and the quality of the coffee was really good. The bagel was just ok. It was huge and the texture was good, but the flavor was all poppyseed and sesame. ”
“ This place is an experience not a coffee shop! The vibe is so mellow no matter the size of the line. the service is friendly and helpful. I got the lavender latte hot always my go to. Also tried the bun bun not bad. I also got the veggie sandwich on an everything bagel amazing it was worth the wait. I will be there soon to try more of the delicious looking pastries and sandwiches options. Drop in and check it out! ”
“ Service was really great even though it was super busy. My salad cost $14 but it was huge and filling! All the veggies were fresh , crisp and had a great taste. The balsamic vinegar dressing was really good and made everything in the salad taste better ! I would definitely come back and try this place again and get some of the amazing looking coffees ”
