Finally got to try this place and it was sooooo good. The inside has a good amount of seating and the artwork around the store is amazing. The workers are friendly and quick at serving your order as well. The drinks: - Mabuhay ube latte was delicious! Super smooth with a good kick from their espresso. -Matcha tea latte was really good as well The food: -bacon cheddar waffle: this is the MUST GET. it was so goooood. It was flavorful and crispy. -The churro waffle: was okay. I wish there was more cinnamon flavor.

Stopped by to try the Mabuhay Ube Latte (got it with oat milk). It was lovely! Just the right amount of sweetness and ube flavor. I would absolutely order it again. Don't forget to shake or stir it up before drinking. Congrats to this black-owned business. The interior design is way fun and lively! I will say I wish the employees were just as welcoming as the look and feel of the place, but overall, it was a positive experience.

I love this coffee shop. The workers are always super nice and I love the layout. It can get really busy but I like to come here to read or get work done. The ube latte with oat milk never disappoints; both the hot and iced version are equally good. It is a bit pricey($7 for a regular size) plus tip so it's $8. Definitely a treat just once in a while and not an everyday drink. The parking is difficult as well but that's expected of downtown.

‍‍ People were AMAZING! Coffee was AWESOME! Churro Waffle was the BOMB! And the vibe was JUST RIGHT ! Nirvana House Blend Espresso Roasted Beans : I *highly* recommend purchasing a bag of this roast to take home with you. It is simply delicious ! One of *the* best & most flavorful roasts I've tried. (And I've tried a lot of them!) It's incredibly smooth, light, & hits you with hints of citrus and pure delight. It's a little pricey @$20/bag but I do think it's worth it. Serotonin Sunrise Tea : Not only is this drink really pretty, it's also deliciously mellow. Initially it tastes a bit like a gummy bear. Once you stir it up, it's mellow & refreshing. I loved that it was not too sweet. Mabuhay Ube Latte: The espresso is smooth & the drink as a whole is light & refreshing.

I was looking for a cool drink because I was early to see a show at the nearby California theater and this place looked great. It was interesting even though they close at 7 pm, the place was still busy at 6:30. When you walk in, you can smell the waffles cooking and it smelled tasty but I just got a beverage. The staff was really welcoming and I appreciated the huge menu with a lot of options. My drink was really good.

This place was popping (line out the door) when I went in, so I knew it must be great. Some menu items looked intriguing to me such as the celebration latte and dirty diana. I asked a friendly stranger for what he had ordered. It was a large mabuhay ube latte with macadamia nut milk. I overheard the people in front of me also ordering that same drink, so I knew I had to try it. Did not disappoint! Sunday hours end early afternoon which is a little bit of a bummer. There are seats and a cute little upstairs loft area to do work or hang out.

I've been wanting to try Nirvana soul for awhile and finally got the chance. It's located right by Original Joes in downtown. It's super cute, vibey, and welcoming. They have a great menu with coffees; teas, and some yummy treats to eat. I decided to get the mabuhay latte to go with my roots, and it truly did not disappoint!!! It was perfectly balanced with the sweetness and the ube. Super happy with my coffee and excited to come back!

Nirvana Soul Coffee is a pretty nice little spot to grab a bite and coffee (even later in the evening). They have a solid amount of inside space to sit while you enjoy your food or drinks. They even have a top floor loft area with a skylight. Their lattes have a strong flavor and sweetness, which is just how I like it, but if you don't like sweet drinks, you may not want to go for their fancy signature drinks. The only downside is that street parking in the area can be a real pain.
