I am a regular at Joe Coffee as it is only two blocks away from my home but it frustrates me to even have to write this review. This past week I walked in as I normally do but this time I wore my star of David pendent my grandmother had given me the week prior.

Read moreThe pumpkin spice iced latte was awful and extremely overpriced ($8.25 plus a dollar tip 🙃). With that price it truly pains me to say I poured it out after drinking half of it. When I received it the cold foam on top was very yummy but when I took a sip with a straw, the main drink was warm 🥴 barely any ice, and syrup sitting on the bottom. (Assuming the hot espresso was poured over ice instead of into the milk to cool it first? What little ice there was melted within 30 min…)
Not the refreshing and tasty treat I was hoping for. This was my first time at this coffee shop. The space otherwise seemed relaxed...
