Batch Coffee Grab + Go — Restaurant in Town of Union

“In the midst of construction chaos lives a bright and colorful cafe offering a pop of optimistic energy to those who wander in”

The decor is sparse, colorful, simple and modern. The music plays at just the right decibel level to open your eyes an extra millimeter. The smell is of fresh beans brewing and pure unfiltered newness inhabit the interior ozone. The young lady working behind the counter was pleasant, soft spoken and certainly of the “decaf” variety. The setting was endearing and amazingly calming overall allowing for a momentary escape from the unpredictable beautiful struggle we all endure called LIFE…

I went with a coffee and a delicious looking cranberry muffin that spoke to me from behind the glass. The coffee was pretty good….Not the best I had…but I’ve also tasted the finest beans from the rainforests of Nevada to the dry lake beds of the ancient Himalayan cities. Im no novice. The muffin was like biting into an IKEA pillow for those pillow biters out there. It was immensely fluffy with the perfect infusion of cranberries to give you the burst of flavor you need to provoke a follow up bite.

The menu also included some delicious sounding smoothies which I watched being prepared and would expect nothing but fresh jubilance jumping from tastebud to tastebud after the meeting with your mouth. If you’re in the Johnson City NY area I’d suggest giving #BatchCoffee a try to enhance the quality of your day by 1.23% on average. Who doesn’t want that?

On a Tuesday a bubbly girl with a bowl cut was serving and she had the lights on which gave the place a nice warm glow. She mentioned they have an 80% discount for orders placed before 8am and looked genuinely pained to tell me that they didn't have any bagels or water because the shipment didn't come in till later. No worries. I came back Wednesday. A different girl named Alexis was serving. The lights weren't on and the place felt gross and cold feeling - really turned my social battery off. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese. No mention of the discount which made me a bit sad but maybe it was just for coffee, you know? Then when I finally get my bagel she had toasted it - which I hate and hadn't been asked about - and she didn't put the cream cheese on the bagel just put them both in a container for me to do myself. I was shocked but kept my mouth shut because I wanted to leave place with the icky grey lighting. She shoots me a "have a nice day" which then put me in the awkward place of having to return the sentiment when she had basically given me burnt bread and cream cheese to slap together myself. Maybe the coffee is good but...

At THIS location, I love their drinks and baked goods. I will say, at THIS location the availability or service can sometimes be a letdown. 1. They close early (4pm). 2. They occasionally close earlier to hold events, so your time to get a drink may be cut even shorter. 3. What really got me was that I walked in 4 minutes before one of their events and the staff ignored me while they finished the drinks in front of me. At exactly 3pm (the time of the event, with nobody behind me) they told me that they couldn’t serve me because they had an event. I totally understand the event, BUT don’t make me wait in line when you didn’t acknowledge me or NOT serve me after my wait with...
