I've been wanting to go to this place for a long time and I was surprised at all the whole Jessup Farm has to offer. I had heard the coffee shop was one of the best in town so we drove up in the evening to lights on the trees and what looked to be a whole little village. We weren't sure exactly which building was Bindle so we tried the first building that looked open. It turned out to be a farm to table restaurant with a classy bar located in the original farm house built in the late 1800s. The host was so gracious and told us about many of the parts of the farm including a casual lunch place to eat, some shops and she directed us to the coffee shop. Located in an old barn, Bindle has retained much of the historical charachter from the brick walls to the lofty wood ceilings and remodeled and decorated with an old farmhouse feel. I felt home the moment I walked in. I ordered a decaf chai and asked for dairy alternative. The barista suggested their house made almont cashew milk which was so tasty! My dad ordered a mocha and was surprised at how good it was and so was I when I sipped it. It was probably one of the best mochas I've ever had! We sat outside at by the fire under the lights strung overhead and enjoyed the sunset. I can't wait to go back! I would move to this side of town just so I could Bindle every day. It really is such a charming place...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI was here with a friend and we both ordered cold beverages, asking for our drinks to go in a reusable cup, only to learn that they made a decision to switch to use disposables for cold drinks because customers were stealing their cups. They did make a good effort to track down a couple of reusable cups from their kitchen to serve our drinks in because we weren't going to get a drink otherwise but it is still really disheartening that their way of solving the thieving customers issue was to use disposables. Purchasing mismatched cups from 2nd hand stores or even just using mason jars would be a charming replacement to those disposables that I doubt anyone would bother stealing. On that note, however, bring your own mug to avoid any issues with disposables!
I had the green tea with milk and it was bland. The guy asked if I wanted it sweetened (I said yes) but I don't think he followed through with that. A bit expensive for what I got: $4.50 for 8oz green tea in milk. Charming little place but not...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIf you're actually looking for a well reviewed coffee shop, I feel sorry for you. The review forum here has become a battleground not about coffee quality or service, but about political opinion. The owners of the coffee shop (or someone who just happened to work for them) liked a designer's post that said "LIFE". That's it. That's all they did. Is this a reason to cancel them? We don't even know their true opinions on the matter before everyone jumps in and decides they don't have the right to support their families or collect a wage. I've never had their coffee before, and never met them, but my 5-star review is based on more common sense than any of the 1-stars from the childish playground bullies who aim to destroy people without thought. If you don't care about any of this, good on you. Go try their their coffee and leave an honest review on...
