If you're looking for a unique, one of a kind experience, look no further. Belux truly delivers with their coffees and exceptional customer service. This space is truly inviting, and also, there is free parking available to enjoy your caffeinated beverage. Hands down, this is some of the best coffee I've had! From the special drip offerings of premium, hand selected coffees, which focuses on the coffee bean, to the hand crafted drinks, your taste buds will be blown away! The best part about the drip is no milk or sweetener is needed and the coffee bean is truly the star! I can really relish this as a coffee drinker and will most definitely be back to try a different flavor. We also tried the Basque cheesecake, creme brulee, prosciutto toast and roast beef sandwich, and everything was excellent! My family really enjoyed the cheesecake and said it was the best they had in a while. The fact that the creme brulee has the perfect crystallization on top and wasn't too sweet really made this dish enjoyable. The toast and sandwich used fresh ingredients and were flavorful.
The best part about the entire experience was Ben. His inviting personality and his knowledge transcended our experience while visiting the shop. He even threw in a few extras because we ended up buying so much coffee! Truly a gem and anyone in the area that's in need of coffee or a place to relax, please come by. It'll brighten...
Read moreI’m gonna walk you through classics in this review. No sugars, syrups, matcha etc. let’s start from the shop itself.
Very calm and friendly place. Just what I want to see from specialty coffee shop. The bar is clean, I didn’t see even coffee grounds under the grinder and barista always cleaned the work station (trust me - it’s important).
I ordered 1 espresso and 1 cappuccino.
Espresso: The texture is good, crema is thick enough, not over extracted. The taste is balanced with a little sourness on the front. Overall - 9/10
Cappuccino - to me it was almost perfect. Beautiful texture, very good choice of a milk for coffee, temperature was just right, good latte art without any fancy patterns - just classic double heart (it’s important for taste - balances the milk sweetness and coffee bitterness). Overall - 10/10.
Ownership asked me how I liked coffee and they seemed to be really involved.
I bought a pack of beans and owner noted that I should give it to rest another two days (todays 13th; coffee was roasted on 10th) which is telling me that he knows his craft. It’s true - freshly roasted coffee will be over extracted. Coffee needs to lose some carbon dioxide after roasting. Usually it takes 5-7 days.
Overall experience - 10/10. Would definitely come back. Really good place. I absolutely admire people who love what they’re doing, and those people - love...
Read morewhen i have come previously, i have had a good experience; the food is good and the atmosphere is nice. however, today, i had a pretty bad experience and the coffee wasn't good, which was disappointing.
i asked for an iced maple sage latte, which he said they couldn't do, and i understood. i then asked what the strawberry pink coffee was; he said they put strawberry syrup at the bottom, then cold brew, then a foam made with skim milk. i asked if i could do it as a latte and he said no because the cold brew/strawberry mixture premade, which i understood. i then asked if he could do a latte with the foam on top, and he said they don't have that, so i was a bit confused. i ended up ordering an iced ginger latte, which was fine. i wanted half skim and half whole, but he said that was not possible, which i didn't understand but then i just got whole milk. but then, i saw them give someone a strawberry matcha. so then, i was even more confused because when i asked, he said that the mixture is premade. i don't know if there was some miscommunication, but again, i was pretty disappointed as i'd had positive...
