The two stars are for the location and interior. The location is great, and the interior is very cute. I appreciate the free Wi-Fi and the games to play. Some music would be nice and might help make the place more inviting since the employees are sort of unfriendly.
The employees (owners?) greeted us with a cold stare, silently ignored my husband’s “Goodmorning, how are you?” and seemed almost irritated that we were there, which we thought was interesting considering we were in their business trying to spend money.
The drinks: we tried an iced matcha and a hot chai latte, so I can’t speak for the coffee. The iced matcha was mostly just ice and about 5 sips of drink. I got half sweet half regular matcha, and the flavor was fine, not too sweet, but nothing to write home about- Starbucks matcha is better. The hot chai was just chai concentrate and milk, which was disappointing because you can make that at home for about a dollar. My husband tossed it on the way out the door.
The food: they have premade bonfire burritos which I assume they microwave and then sell to you. We did not try them because we’ve had bonfire burritos elsewhere and weren’t impressed.
The pastries: they have a good selection of pastries made by a local baker, Suz Cookie Jar Rescue. Unfortunately, I have personally been in the Suz Cookie Jar Rescue kitchen and the cleanliness was not up to my very average standard so I will not be trying their products, but I can admit that the pastries looked very tasty and if I hadn’t seen behind the scenes I probably would have...
Read moreAn amazing new addition to our community embodying so much of Bailey history. Probably the best cup of handcrafted coffee I’ve ever had (and I’m a bit of a coffee snob) and a truly cozy and rustic atmosphere that allows for any kind of relaxing experience you could desire. They really thought of everything. Ben and Kyleigh have expressed their passions of coffee to me and told me all about how everything they use is ethically and locally sourced. The coffee bean roaster they use employs and supports women in recovery!!! As someone who has seen addiction up close and personal, I feel confident spending my money here knowing it’s going to help something bigger. And I get delicious coffee out of the deal!!! I can’t say enough good about this place and can’t recommend it highly enough. Whether tourist or local, you will...
Read moreOff The Rails is easily the best coffee shop in the area. Kylie and Ben, the owners, are genuinely kind people who’ve created something special here. Their coffee is top-notch, and the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfect whether you’re catching up with friends or getting some work done.
While I’ve since moved to be closer to family, I miss my near-daily visits, grabbing a cup of their amazing coffee, opening my laptop, and settling in for an hour or two in their cozy shop. It truly became one of my favorite parts of living in Bailey.
If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in. You’ll be greeted with great coffee, great people, and a space you’ll want to return to again and again.
Thanks Kylie and Ben! I can’t wait to visit next time...
