I was really excited to try this place while in town for a bike race because I love local coffee shops. My initial thoughts were great! Exposed brick walls, comfy couches, a nice display of different coffee and tea options- it all looked very promising! They have a very extensive food menu and I was impressed by that, I got the Denver breakfast wrap and it was quite yummy and pretty cheap considering the size of it. Then I got my pour over coffee and this is where it all went south. I watched them make it, they didn’t even have a real kettle for making pour overs, they just poured hot water over the top of it from a milk steaming pitcher. That was the first sign it wasn’t going to be great. I then received my pour over and I took the lid off and there were huge coffee grounds in it! I picked out a couple of the big pieces of coffee and tried a sip, it was so watery it barely even tasted like coffee at all. And I was drinking it black, so it’s not like I diluted it with cream or anything. Clearly they don’t know what coarseness to grind coffee for a pour over which is definitely why it tasted like water. I threw the whole cup away because I just couldn’t drink it. Also my friend was very displeased with his mocha, he said it had a very unusual flavor that he couldn’t quite place. I just think that for a place that has coffee in the name, they definitely need to work on there coffee making game. Best of luck to the owners/ baristas for hopefully improving that aspect of the business, otherwise they’re on the right track with the shop with the nice atmosphere...
Read moreFrom the moment I stepped into Calhoun Coffee Company, I was immediately captivated by its rustic yet chic ambiance. The atmosphere exudes warmth and authenticity, creating the perfect setting for any coffee lover or someone simply looking to unwind.
One of the highlights of my visit was the delightful service I received from Hannah. She was not only attentive and efficient but also brought a pleasant demeanor to our interactions. Her passion for providing outstanding customer service is evident, and it definitely added to the overall experience.
Let's talk about the food – simply fantastic! Every bite was a testament to the culinary artistry at work behind the scenes. While every item on the menu is worth trying, I must personally recommend the bagels. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, they were an absolute delight.
Moreover, as someone who often looks for plant-based options, I was pleasantly surprised by the diverse vegan and vegetarian choices available. It's always refreshing to see establishments that cater to varied dietary needs with such finesse.
In conclusion, Calhoun Coffee Company is not just another coffee shop; it's an experience. Whether you're looking for a flavorful meal, a warm beverage, or simply a cozy corner to relax, this is the place to be. I'll definitely be returning and urge others to give it a try!
Cheers to many more visits and kudos to the entire team, especially Hannah, for making...
Read moreI had Sunday breakfast here. I loved the atmosphere. My servers were friendly and professional they kept on checking up with me if I need anything which is always a plus. I had French toast with country potatoes and sunny side up egg with espresso, mocha. My potatoes were seasoned well and my mocho was just as much espresso as I needed, not too much not to little I enjoyed every bit of that espresso. French toast were firm too not too Sabby not too crisp must check this place out and if you are a car lover, they invite car lovers on every 3rd Sunday of the month which also a good experience and way to spend Sunday morning. I went there for soft launch dinner on opening day. I had chicken and waffle. My waffle was delicious thick cooked perfect but my chicken I think should have been a bit on a golden side but it seemed burned although it didn't taste burn but as she served if, my first thought was over cooked chicken but didn't let like it in taste but just to present it for customers, I think it should have been golden crispy fried color. I also believe that this dish should have been $10 or so because it was $14 and didn't come with any sides compare to quesadilla which was $9 or so and had a side with it. I ended up getting half order of country potatoes with my entree and a small regular mocha and my total was $23+ with tip i...
