I did my homework here from 9am-2pm, and no one bothered me. Great vibes! Coffee and breakfast burritos were pretty good too!

This might be the best thing about china lake. I’d be here every morning if I were stationed here. Good, cheap food, served by lovely ladies, and leather couches upon which to sit and watch fox news.

Batista was nice and order was correct. Coffee cake was amazing. Lots of space to stretch out or visit with friends.

I love it here! I usually hit the gym at 5, and when I finish, I pre-order my coffee filled halfway so I can add protein. There would be times when I've come in, and she already knew to make it half full. I finally asked, "Do you know why? I only got half full, and she replied, "ya for protein, right?" Spot on customer service. I've been coming here for a while, and when I walked in, they already knew my name and remembered my face. I have noticed this with a lot of people that come in, and she already know their order. That's some great customer service to which is hard to find now a days in most establishments. The atmosphere is very chill and inviting. I always see people sitting at the table enjoying themselves and the presence of their friends.

Nice little MWR style coffee bistro. A bit pricey but quality is worth the cost. Quick service. Card only, no cash. Need to have military installation base access to visit.

their pork burrito is pretty dang good. everything on their menu is good, reasonable price, maybe a tad bit expensive for in-base but it offers starbucks products and better atmosphere (but still shitty compare to real starbucks right outside the base) than anywhere else in the base

Nice place to get lunch on base. Limited menu, but sufficient when you are from out of town and only there for a couple of days. Much better than leaving base.

Starbucks, not Starbucks. Beyond the drinks they have great breakfast options. My favorite is the Sunrise Sandwich w/ 2x chilis.
