If you haven't tried Hopscotch Coffee, I'd say it's the best in Bloomington. The beans are exceptional and the baristas know what they're doing.
Usually there's no more than 2 people behind the counter, and no more than 4 people in the whole shop, so service is quick.
If you take coffee black, try a medium or light roast. You might think that dark roast is bold or exciting, but medium roast has (1) more caffeine and (2) more flavor. The quality of Hopscotch's coffee is fantastic, so it'd be a shame to skimp on flavor.
If you like espresso drinks, the latte may be a cliche, but is a solid choice. They also have an excellent cold brew, and depending on the season, nitrogen-infused cold brew. Nitro cold brew drinks like an iced latte but is all coffee.
If you aren't a coffee drinker, they have a fair selection of unique teas, and sometimes kombucha on tap. These are also excellent, though kombucha can be an acquired taste.
This is a great grab and go coffee shop with friendly service and...
Read moreThe coffee beans are of good quality. The day I went there with my wife, we didn’t quite like our drinks. I would recommend getting the beans but not the drinks from there. The staff on site are very friendly, and want to make sure that you get what you came for, but the customer care over the phone is terrible. You won’t understand anything that they say in the voice recording so you would want to hit any number to get to someone, but then when you do talk to someone, they don’t seem to be very good at getting your needs met or try to do so, and would rather ask you to just go online and visit in person. Living an hour away, I just don’t see this happening, and upon going online, you just see them saying out of stock and check back in at another time, which is...
Read moreWasn't a big fan of the coffee that I got. Probably one of the least favorite brews I've ever bought. Maybe their larger shop would be a better brew. I also was hoping to get some sort of baked good but it was literally the bare minimum which makes sense as it's the smaller shop. But I was hoping for a little bit more. They didn't even have caramel flavoring. No drive-thru and no place to sit so it's definitely just get and go. It was located about two blocks from the Main Street/drive. Server wasn't super friendly, but that's not a big deal. When I talked to a friend who lives in Bloomington, they said they're not a fan of their coffee either. So I probably would not recommend and would not go to again. But maybe for somebody else they would like the...
