Hello from Ohio, My experience in Coffee Lab was nice, pleasant and not pretentious at all like other places. This review was from over the Thanksgiving holiday. I was greeted nicely, and there was no pressure and it allowed me to look over their freshly roasted beans.

The shop was clean and busy with the amazing scent of coffee in the air. My cousin who lives in the downtown area took me here after I found it on the net.

I choose two bags of freshly roasted coffee Honduran and Brazilian beans. I chose my beans and walked to the counter to cash out. Here is what also struck me in a good way. She did not try to link the sale to anything else other than what I was attempting to purchase.

She offered me the two free coffees and I declined. I only declined because I had enough coffee already lol. Her customer service was nice and pleasant, and she did not give off the vibe of “what do you want (another plus)”. Fast-forward here I am at home griding some beans of the Honduran roasted beans. Well, they are delicious, and the smokey notes are a symphony of aromatic deliciousness. I do a bit of fly fishing and back packing. I look forward to the warmer months and making some of this coffee while on my adventures.

I am willing to pay these types of prices for your product because the product your produce is worth its price point. I bought two bags, and I believe one was 21.00 and the other 23.00 dollars. I treat myself and someday I will treat myself again. Keep up the great job...

Was in the area having brunch at Batter & Berries with my fiancé. Usually not too particular about getting coffee at brunch places and I saw Coffee Lab was just down the street so we decided to stop in after eating.

I got a Kyoto cold brew while my fiancé went with the honey butter iced latte. Loved both our drinks! The Kyoto cold brew was nice to have 4 different options of roast to pick from. I went with the Brazilian medium-dark roast. Just the perfect boldness. I tried my fiancé’s honey butter iced latte and the honey added the subtle sweetness but the buttery note was just added that silky rich taste :chefs kiss:

Definitely found my new coffee spot whenever I’m in Lakeview. Looking forward to trying all their different roasts and...
