I personally really liked the food and the drinks. It was smooth and very tasty. I would return. The inside was alright to sit and chat for a bit. The lady wasn't that friendly but oh well. They had drinks, muffins, danishes, sandwiches, chocolates, and ice cream!

Talk about literally the best coffee ever!! And the owner is so kind, she came out and made sure our food and drinks were perfect, my friends and I really appreciated it. They have an ube muffin that is to die for and the vibes overall are so awesome. Will for sure be making this my morning regular. Highly recommend.

Drove by this little mom and pop coffee shop (we love supporting non chain places). My caffe mocha (double espresso) was really good (much better and so much less sweet than Starbucks). The croissant breakfast sandwich was also pretty good. Amanda was super friendly and made our drinks really good

So happy that the Chocolate Iguana is back and now it's on the northwest side of town. It's like a charming cafe with purple decor, which happens to be my favorite color! I was immediately greeted and took the time to look around for a moment of nostalgia with their candy aisle. There is a fantastic selection of pastries both gluten free and regular. You also have your choice of bagels, ice cream and made to order sandwiches. I ordered the ube muffin (purple) and an everything bagel. Both were magnificent! For my drink I ordered an iced vanilla coffee. I am so glad to have Chocolate Iguana so close to me!!!! Let's continue to support local!
