I use to have a good review for this place and I still think they have great products but after this morning I have a much different opinion. A couple of months ago I found what appeared to be a piece of fishing line in a baked good. The manager ( I think it was the manager) gave me a filled free drink card for the trouble, which was really nice. I didn't expect anything from them, I just wanted to let them know so the bakery could be aware.
This morning I came in to use the card and the girl who was at the cashier seem to not want me there and went on the ask me who filled the card. I told her the story. After a long pause she grabbed her phone out and took a photo of the card, finally telling me that "Sorry, we have had a couple of people forging." I was very uncomfortable by the way she handled it, never even look up at me. The longer I stood there while she stared at her phone for a response, the more I started to realize this discomfort wasn't worth a free coffee. I then said just run my card, obviously insulted.
I understand if she was scared of giving away a 4 dollar drink but at least treat me like a customer and not a criminal. Instead she wasn't upfront with why she was giving me bad vibes. Afterwards when she apologized, she said that my story just didn't make sense. So earlier it was that it was the multiple signatures she did not trust and now it is that she just didn't trust me. How am I suppose to respond to that in a forgiving matter? Didn't get to use my free drink card because she thought it was a fake and I couldn't confirm who's signature it was. Awesome way to start out my morning. Internet here is better these days though.
*I posted a photo of the card and a photo of the "floss" I found on Jan 11th but it...
Read moreCoda is such a great, funky neighborhood coffee shop. They have three locations in Colorado and I'm glad one is so close to me. The space looks a little small when you walk in, but there is seating in the front, along a side wall, and in the back. Wall outlets are a-plenty so I've worked from here a couple times.
I've had the nitro cold brew and iced Americanos, both of which were delicious. But what I think is great is that they have a couple "featured espressos" in addition to their signature house espresso. So even though I'm just drinking espresso and water, I can customize it depending on if I want something earthy or floral. Seriously, when did I become an espresso snob? I blame my Nespresso machine.
All in all, I don't know why anyone would choose to go to the Starbucks a few blocks away when Coda is an option. Unless you need a drive thru. But if you have time to actually park and go inside (ugh, you mean like the peasants do?!) do it. It will...
Read moreVisiting from out of town and needed a place to grab a cup of coffee and relax for a bit. Found this spot on Yelp and stopped in because we were nearby.
I got a nitro cold brew and it was exactly what I needed - smooth, strong, and fresh. Didn't even need to add cream. They have rotating happy hour deals every day and Friday is BOGO day so my cousin and I were able to get 2 drinks for the price of one. Does it get any better?
Decor is hip and modern, looks small from the outside but it actually extends to the back for more seating. The four of us were able to take up the whole back corner area, talk and catch up over a good cup of coffee. Another plus: there were plenty of outlets everywhere, perfect because we all needed to charge our phones. Will try to make it back next time I...
