Good, but not very hot, coffee & the avocado toast was as expected. Not the best I've ever had but fresh & on good bread (fyi the actual menu in-house isn't a fraction of what you see in the pics here. Went in to try one of the actual breakfast items but only had 3 single-slice toast choices & a couple burritos on this particular Sunday morning). The place is a perfectly fine place to grab a cup to go but service was less than "meh". Maybe a bad morning for the barista, and although never outright rude, she was about the least enthusiastic I've ever encountered. She didn't greet folks as they came in & in all honesty, never even or acknowledged them while they stood there for 4-5 minutes waiting to give their orders...even when I went back up for a second cup to-go. The atmosphere was a little gloomy for my tastes with little to no lighting towards the back, and judging by the "it's so dark in here" comments of others that came in, theirs as well. Not a great vibe for these dark, rainy days as of late. Again, coffee was as good as you can get anywhere else but that's the thing, I can get this quality a hundred other places within a very small radius from here so will opt for a more welcoming place next time. For a boutique coffee spot completely surrounded by residential homes, it was about as far from a "neighborhood" vibe as you can get.
Oh, and obviously not the fault of the business, but parking here is a bit of a nightmare. Anyone around here knows that just goes with the LoHi territory in general. There's about enough curb space for 2 cars right at the front door but posted 15-minute time limit signage so only for getting...
Read moreThis place had a real cool vibe! When I went in there was a lot of people working away contently on their computers, looking quite happy sipping their beverages getting some work done. The service was a little slow, there was one person on the shift in a somewhat filled coffee shop, maybe the other person was on break? But the gal who served me was chatty with another guest sitting at the bar before serving me, so I was awkwardly waiting for them to finish their conversation. I ordered an iced mocha, which didn't taste a lot like espresso, or chocolate, but a lightly flavored milk. I should have asked how many shots were in a large, or what kind of chocolate they used, however it seems like they specialize in more traditional coffee drinks, like cortados and macchiatos. All and all a cool place to visit! I Uber so one of my passengers recommended the location. I was very pleased with...
Read moreWe went in on Saturday and had a good experience. We ordered plain latte and croissant. The baristas were nice and service was as good. So we decided to come back Sunday. Sunday the baristas were terrible. They were giving off the worst vibes, ignoring customers, and made what was probably the worst dirty chai I have ever had.
Update: I am not an experienced reviewer and I do not see how to reply to the response from the owner. We were there Saturday morning around 830 or 9 maybe. So yes, please let them know they did great. As far as Sunday goes .. I don't want to get anyone fired. Maybe just talk to staff about the art of leaving your baggage at home. Unless you win the lottery you will probably have to work the rest of your life. It is a skill that will benefit them for the remainder of their working life beyond...
