Sole City Coffee — Restaurant in Town of Union

I got whole espresso beans (grinded them at home) from them the other day because I like trying different coffee beans. These were probably the best beans I’ve had in Binghamton. I am unsure if they roast the beans themselves, but these beans will knock your socks off. I think they would be great even for people who don’t necessarily love coffee or need a lot of sugar to drink coffee — these beans have a surprising natural nutty sweetness which took me aback. They were fantastic!!! I shared them with everyone I knew because they were that good and people were in agreement with me so this isn’t just my coffee snob opinion, it’s everyone’s opinions that these beans are amazing. I will definitely be coming back.

The people are also very nice. I’ve been here only twice so I don’t know the ins and outs of the place, but the latte I got the first time I came here was good. The baked goods...

Just heard about this new shop and had to run out to scope it out. So great seeing downtown JC get some new business, and what better than a solid coffee shop!?

Staff was super pleasant: took time to say hello and chat about the business; connected with the customers in the store at the time; and just generally a nice place to be. Se several people wander in for their quick fix of caffeine too.

As for the coffee, I got a mocha and the chocolate flavor was so good, not too sweet, and much better than your typical cup of Starbucks (or nearest Starbucks clone).

Beans come from a roaster in Ithaca, and are reasonably fresh if that's important to you.

Here's hoping we get to keep another great coffee shop right in the heart of a revitalizing...

Ran in really quickly to get a Latte with Oat Milk, and I have to say it was one of the best lattes I have ever tasted.

It is a very large space, with a lot of seating -- regular chairs and tables, no couches that I could see, but the decor has a bright, industrial look to it, with brick, steel and pictures of old factories in the area. This seems like a good place to study or get work done for an hour, hour and a half. I don't get a lounge-y vibe from here, so I don't think you could sit there for like, 4 hours.

The service was efficient and friendly. They also had some really great smelling handmade soap and candles for sale made out of coffee. I bought one-- coffee soaps can be a good brightener...
