I was wanting to try something new today and this place looked promising. It has a great scene (except it gets super hot by the south facing windows but that's kinda expected), excellent workspace. I ordered their pour over and it was delicious with perfect texture. My issue is that I waited 25 minutes for it. I didn't get an apology until I changed the order from "for here" to "to go." Not too big a deal, but it still irritated me. The parking lot across the street (where I parked) had a time limit of 30 minutes. And maybe I could've gotten more parking time, but honestly the lot was completely full and I didn't want to be greedy. After 15 minutes since ordering, I walked up to the front and asked about it and he was honest and said it hadn't been started yet. I was told "2 more minutes" but I know pour over takes a little longer than that, so that's ok. But then it was 10 minutes more before I got it and honestly it just pissed me off. Unfortunately, that will be the feeling I have when I think of this place. They offered me free food, but I had breakfast before so I wasn't hungry. I probably would've accepted a return or a free coffee in the future, though. Could've just been the one case of the day that didn't nail every detail, and I'm ok with that. Their menu looked yummy, and as I said the pour over itself was really great. Might go back, might not. But I will probably tell other people to...
Read moreI've been coming here since they opened in 2017. I've always loved the atmosphere — lots of natural light, tons of places to plug in your laptop and work, tables that are bolted to the floor and thus don't wobble (pet peeve of mine), couches by the window to read, and incredible roasted-in-house coffee.
You can actually see them roast their beans in the shop (the machine is behind a glass wall), and when they run the roaster it makes the entire shop smell so warm and comforting. One of my favorite parts of the shop.
The atmosphere here literally makes me feel more productive. As an entrepreneur myself, I love being able to strike up random conversations with other professionals who happen to be hanging out. Excellent spontaneous networking happens all the time, and I've actually landed some client work just from the people I meet here.
The owner (Eder), manager (Emily) and the rest of the barista staff (especially Lauren, Marco, and Sarah) are all good friends of mine at this point. The shop is run by some of my favorite people in Fort Worth and because I feel such a great connection there, it's hard for me to switch up and work out of a different coffee shop.
Anyway. I've always loved this place and am just now getting around to writing this review. It's a very special...
Read moreI came here to meet up with a couple of people who chose the meet up place. I don't know anything about coffee and decided to try a couple of things. The Cortado is not very big in serving size which wasn't surprising since it's an espresso drink. It's served hot and very bitter so if that's your thing go for it. If you're not a fan of bitterness then you should get the liberty latte. I got it iced and it's a sweet milky drink for those who just like the slight flavor of coffee. The music is chill but the vibe seems very industrial like. I guess its supposed to be more modern and minimalist but the grey seems gloomy with the music. Only reason for 4 stars but definitely a solid place for studying. The worker wasn't rude and was quick but didn't offer much help for drink selection. I guess that's not his job though so I'm trying to help others who might need help with a...
