Henry's Coffee — Restaurant in Santa Clarita

The support this shop has received is so sweet to see! Local SCV pullin through.

Being here is always fun. On weekends there’s always a line, but it moves fast. It can take a while to get your drink but it’s worth the wait. Staff are friendly. Vibes are good.

I don’t know how you can have a coffee house in this environment. People come there to talk and visit…and some come to write.

I left to find...

I don’t wanna bring the rating of this place down but I did have a few comments I wanted to add so that the service team can get better.

First, the person working was consistently touching their hair / face while handling food which was concerning to me bc they didn’t wear gloves.

Second, I ordered a single double shot: to go…. Granted the person was the only person working and had a couple of other items to process (none of them on the espresso machine) but it’s about the easiest thing you can order & takes maybe about 20 seconds to set up and run, and then another 30 ish second to pull and then it’s done you and then the cup. It is the kind of order that - given my own long history working in the coffee world - you’d want to immediately set up and get out and into...
