Goodkind Coffee — Restaurant in Lakewood

Hipster neighborhood cafe. Since its recent renovation, the interior is slightly less vintage cozy, but the baristas and staff are just as friendly as ever.

You'll find excellent basic brews here along with a rotating seasonal menu with quirky creations such as cold brew with rhubarb syrup or with lime juice and vanilla. To munch on, there's a small selection of pastries from local bakeries, or you can get a burrito and other packaged goods from a local chef/caterer formerly from Tartine Bistro.

Most patrons are locals in the area and it's gratifying to see the relationship between baristas and the customers. If you've got a pup, they're sure to get a treat too. Being pretty small, there's only a few round tables big enough to squeeze 1-2 people, and a larger dining table with some outlets that you'll be lucky to snag.

One feature that I'm glad wasn't replaced in the redecoration are the restrooms with their old-timey encyclopedia wallpaper. While the font is a little too small to read from the comfort of the toilet seat, it's an inspiring setting for anyone looking to do some...

I visited this coffee shop last Monday with my friends and had a small issue with the service. The barista served our cappuccinos in paper cups, but since we were staying to relax, we were hoping to get mugs. I asked if she could switch them, and while she seemed a bit rushed and mentioned she’d have to remake them, I told her it was fine and we’d wait. However, she just transferred the drinks into mugs instead of making them from scratch! We come to coffee shops not only for the coffee but to enjoy the experience, the beautifully crafted drinks and the thoughtful presentation that the baristas are known for. I understand it can get busy, but a little more attention to detail would’ve made the visit more enjoyable. The coffee was good, though, and I hope the service...

Great location with ample parking. Beautiful Decor A little pricey ($9 for a medium coffee and a cinnabun) Cinnamon bun was mediocre. I do not believe it was made in-house, but I could be wrong. My medium drip coffee was undrinkable. Shop was out of A LOT of product. I originally wanted a bagel, but was told that they had "just sold the last one." The same was said to multiple customers after me for different offerings.

Rating: 2/10

Review: While I will not be back, this shop has excellent reviews and they get A LOT of traffic, so they must be doing something right. I am thinking that maybe I recieved a bad batch of coffee or visited at the wrong time or on...
