If you find yourself in Naunet, NY, and are in search of not just good, but exceptional coffee, there’s a little shop that you absolutely must visit. Tucked away in a cozy corner of the town, this coffee shop is a delightful surprise for both coffee aficionados and casual sippers alike.
The moment you step inside, you're greeted by an ambiance that's both inviting and eclectic. The music, carefully selected, creates a vibe that’s perfect for enjoying your coffee, whether you’re starting your day or taking a mid-afternoon break. The interior, with its charming decor, makes you feel right at home.
But the real stars of the show are the baristas. They are true artisans of their craft. It’s not just about the coffee, which in itself is exceptional, boasting rich flavors and perfect temperatures. It's also about the knowledge and passion these baristas have. They're not just making coffee; they're curating an experience. Each recommendation they make is tailored to your taste, and they’re always excited to share their knowledge about the different blends and...

Also yummy fancy coffee (they won't reheat it), A+ work space, will return...

I did not give the shop 5 Stars because I prefer to drink high-quality espresso drinks in real glass cups when I’m not taking out my order.
Because It’s tough for independent coffee shops (or smaller chains, like Roast’D) to compete with Starbucks, even when their product is superior to Starbucks, I recommend that Roast’D offerer an even more sophisticated customer experience by providing glassware for “dine-in” customers.

(A good example of a small coffee shop chain using glassware is La Colombo although I don’t believe they have opened any franchises in Rockland County. (I visited their shops in...
