Apothecary Espresso and Coffee — Restaurant in Farmington

Maybe it was an off day? I came in Sunday morning around 10. Normal sized coffee crowd. It took literally 30 minutes for my drink. There were about 6-8 people also waiting for their drink and we were all kinda looking around like…ummm what is taking them so long? There were two barista’s and a cashier, so no staff shortage. No super complex orders. Maybe they were nervous with us all watching and waiting anxiously for caffeine? I think some serious training and management oversight is needed to help their staff be more efficient and timely with drink orders. I’m all about supporting my local baristas, but when I say I wish I could take back that tip I gave at the register, I mean it.…probably not going to try this place again, even though their space is beautiful and the menu is creative. I still want good coffee in a timely manner, and this just wasn’t it.

Note to the barista: When there is a line of 10 people waiting for coffee, it’s probably not the time to work on your latte art (and then put a lid on the cup so no one sees...

This place is so nice and The ambience is second to none!! We have been waiting for this opening for a long time and we were not disappointed!!! In fact we were very surprised how it turned out.

Having live performance Thursday night was perfect the sound was great there was enough room for everybody even considering they were slammed nobody was standing elbow to elbow. I'm giving this place five stars only because they've only been open for a couple days and it could only get better!! if you're in the area do yourself a favor and come by and...

I'm so happy to have found this coffee shop. The drinks are made so well and the staff are so pleasant you can tell they love what they do. My matcha was made to perfection. Not bitter, perfectly sweet, and high quality. They were happy to customize it the way I wanted.

One thing I noticed is that a lot of people walk in and walk out because they couldn't find a seat right away. I think this is a good sign the business is doing well, but I do think the layout is equipped for more seating. It's so cozy that everyone just wants to sit and chat all day, but if it's going to be this good, they could provide some L shaped banquettes around the perimeter.

All in all I will be very excited to make this a weekly stop of mine and I'm happy to have found it after...
