Stopped by this place today on our day trip to St. Pete. This place was on my to visit list for a while and the opportunity presented it's self.
#1 Great Customer service. The two barista's greeted my family and I with a smile and broke down the brothers shop to me.
#2Unfortunately they didn't have any signature coffees available for espresso they did have cold brew available as well as drip freshly made. I had a drip and the wife had a cold brew.

I don't even like barrel aged or distilled spirits but the beans benefit from the complexity of the flavors that are added! These people care about great coffee taste and it shows. Also the "robotic hipster dude" was super kind and friendly, we geeked around talking about coffee stuff for as long as we could until more customers arrived. My only criticism is the drink menu, I'd love to see just a classic menu with bean flavor options. Espresso, Americano, Cortado, Latte, Redeye made with your choice of beans (and optional house-made syrup for lattes) would...
