Darn Good Coffee is not a place that would ordinarily draw me in, (not a coffee drinker) but today I thought I would give it a try. My friend ordered the Postum Chai Latte and a Triple Cheese Basil Panini, and I ordered the Frozen Ginger Lemonade with their (first ever) Pepper Jack Rosemary Panini. The Chai Latte went down smooth and the three cheeses on the Basil Panini gave a nice cheese skirt to the sandwich that added a flavorful crunch. The Frozen Ginger Lemonade was as refreshing as it sounds with a beautiful lemon slice on top. There was a perfect amount of fresh rosemary in my panini that paired well with the pepper jack cheese. DGC grows their herbs right outside the shop, and rosemary and basil this fresh is hard to beat. Both baristas were obviously very experienced, and prepared our drinks and food effortlessly while keeping a fun conversation going with us. The music, decor, furniture and atmosphere make this place easy to love. I gave 4 stars because the size of the whole grain bread used for the paninis was dangerously small. Even with the smallish bread, I promise the paninis are still extremely satisfying. DGC is a cool place to eat, get a drink, read, hang out, and oh yeah, it's in the front of Jolly Circle Bike shop. Give it a try. With or...

Lots of natural light coming in through big windows, nice tables, good music, friendly staff, the peaceful hum of people coming and going, and the fact that it's attached to a bike shop all create the perfect cafe atmosphere.
My go-to order is the waffle with fruit and cream, topped with their house-made syrup. My wife really digs their paninis. They've always got delicious, locally made pastries and cookies—today I tried the pistachio croissant, which is super good! Their drinks live up to the name and I like that it doesn't feel like a coffee and cocoa factory the way Starbucks and Beans & Brews do. If it's a warm day you gotta try their fresh basil lemonade!
A great place for quick bite, for lingering with friends, or for getting work done on...
Read moreI love this place! I’ve been wanting to visit for a while and I’m so glad I made it! We were so surprised by how clean, well thought out, and cozy it was. The guy taking our order was so kind and attentive, asking us multiple times if the drinks were good and if we needed anything! Just the small details like having fresh strawberries and basil, real plates to eat on, napkin holders brought to our table, etc made this place feel so cozy and thoughtful. We got a hot Americano, iced strawberry matcha with oatmilk and vanilla, a grilled panini with pepper jack and basil, and a warm pumpkin fritter (SO yum!). Can’t wait...
