Sorry, Blue Bottle still takes the cake. And speaking of cake, they could use a new supplier of baked goods!

Get the pourover or espresso drink. Drip is pretty hard to drink.

Though my last tip said the coffee is good, I just ordered a $5 iced latte that was in an 8oz cup. Fail.

Wouldn't call it the best in BK, but their signature drink (the maple latte) is worth a trip.
