The coffee here is just as spectacular as you'd expect. I started with the Lump of Coal, a rich and indulgent drink complemented by a bold shot of espresso. It was the perfect pick-me-up to kick off my visit. For lunch, I tried the Vannerson on Croissant, a delicious combination of smoked turkey, hummus, havarti cheese, cucumber, tomato, and mayo layered onto a flaky, buttery croissant. Every ingredient was fresh, and the flavors balanced beautifully—clearly, a lot of care goes into crafting their menu.

The staff at The Pharmacy Coffee are another highlight. They were friendly, attentive, and made sure every guest felt right at home. Their kindness added to an already exceptional experience.

Let me start off by saying the food and coffee were good. The issue is with the very slow service. Only two people were working and seemed like only one person would do food and the other on drinks. Yet the person who was doing food moved at a snail's pace and never would go help make drinks when they didn't have any food to worry about. On top of that, I saw the lady who was prepping the food drop a sandwich on the workstation, visibly show frustration, picked up the sandwich and put it on a plate for a customer to have. If this place is just hurting from not being able to higher enough people, I get it. But they definitely need more help and faster service. I waited roughly 20-30 minutes to be served and get my food. And that was getting only a muffin with a biscuit cold...
