I've been here twice with my Mom and Dad. Both times, the flavored/sweet coffee has been good/ average. I enjoyed it and was pleased. Not my favorite place for coffee, but still good. Both times that my Mom ordered a plain black coffee, it was burnt, sour and frankly I can't believe they'd served it to her. Very clean and cute environment, but the black coffee has been horrible both tines we've ordered it. If they would stop burning it AKA, letting it boil to death in the pot for hours on end until someone goes "hey, I'd like a plain black coffee!", I would give them a 5 star. They must think " holy s**t! Someone ordered a plain coffee! Get the oil funnel, it's been boiling for 10 hours."
The reason I'm giving it a 2 star, is because they're fast, nice people working there (which seems to be a rarity in places such as the overrated franchise Starbucks) and they put the effort into making the pretty designs on top. The desire to do good work is there, they just need to be told their plain black coffee is sour, at this time at least.
In fact, if someone from Hoboken would reply to this review in the future and let me know if they get their plain coffee straightened out, I'd got back and try it with my whole family. I want small businesses to...
Read moreWow! I travel all over the US for my job and one of the things that makes it worth it are places like this.
At first I was a bit nervous as the white building on the left was obstructing the view of the shop. For a moment it didn't seem like the coffee shop even existed. But then the beautiful storefront came into view with a tad bit of investigating!
For me, it's always nice to step into a warm, cozy coffee shop. Hoboken gets an A++ on that front. One of the first things I noticed walking in were the Chemexes for sale at the front so I knew I was going to ask for a pourover immediately.
The barista was very friendly and recommended the Colombian. She said that it had notes of cherry and a tad bit of nuttiness (I'm probably remembering that wrong). But ohhhh jeez was it good when I got it! I've spoiled myself with pourovers so Starbucks, McDonalds, exc. don't really cut it for me anymore. That being said I was so so happy to get this cup of coffee out here in Guthrie. I will definitely come back next time I have the chance!! Thank you to the employees...
Read moreGreat coffee or not, snarky review responses from the owner make me completely NOT INCLINED to ever go back here, since Covid seems to be a joke to him. Totally irresponsible behavior by employees, choosing to not wear masks in the service industry. Zero stars was not an option, or that's what Hoboken would have gotten. To the owner: While I am not currently on the same film as Ms. Ross, I am in Guthrie OFTEN for filming, so let me fill you in (from the Production side) on something: it's the general public we are afraid of catching Covid from. That would mean you and your unmasked employees. Most major feature films follow a very strict Covid protocol AND we are tested 3 times per week. So scoff all you want at the virus, and at those of us that have to follow guidelines to be able to work. But that is the reality. Rest assured that I will make sure the film community knows how unimportant our business is to you, the owner, and I'll make sure that the Chamber...
