Apocalypse Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in West Melbourne

Updated review*

Apocalypse Coffee roasters has always been a local gem of the community. Ever since it used to be open mics the blues club and guitar shop, to now of their more recent explosion of their original location Apocalypse Coffee roasters, and now this being their secondary location.

I’ve been to the original location more times than I can count, and now this location being even closer might be a more regular stop for me.

They have rotating signature latte, which have always been delicious every single time I’ve gotten one. As well as their actual coffee beans are ones that I love to purchase via their coffee bags and make it home.

This location is much smaller than the original location which can lead to a little bit of a louder atmosphere here. So just keep that in mind if you’re looking for a very quiet place to study, bring some headphones.

I got the breakfast blast bowl and it was delicious. Their chipotle sauce is always one of the highlights of that bowl to me.

I also got the love potion signature latte, which was also delicious with oat milk.

It’s important note that this is a local business and not Starbucks, so don’t anticipate less than two minute coffee ticket times. They don’t have a drive-through, so don’t hold them to the standard of drive-through ticket times.

From visiting two separate days, I’ve already seen the team as a whole get significantly faster at making coffees and food.

It is only up from here and I look forward to seeing how much better this location gets.

P.S. - the merch has always been very cool here over the years. I own numerous T-shirts, hoodies, espresso cups, and many stickers already. Support local businesses.

this one hurts ya’ll. The aesthetic is very cool but it is very very loud due to how small it is. They have what appeared to be the menu of their main location which is fantastic.

Now, the non-fantastic. I ordered two lattes, and it took 27 minutes to get them. So long that I didn’t know if my order got in correctly.

Due to the layout, there was a mass of people just standing in the checkout area and the pick up area but ALL were waiting for drinks.

Gave an extra star because of the benefit of the doubt due to their other location, and although I didn’t get the food here, I imagine it is just as good as the other location.

I will be back and hopefully...

I hate this place! Only because it was the absolute best latte and pastries I’ve ever had! The problem? I live 9 hours away! The place is tight when crowded but it’s fun to look around at all the unique decor. I came with my toddler and baby during their rush time, we played Sasquatch ticktacktoe and enjoyed the ambiance. The staff were beyond friendly. There was a minimum wait maybe 15 minutes and they offered me a free pastry with sincere apology’s. Clearly they care for their customers time which is a rare commodity these days. The wait wasn’t even that long. I bought a seasonal latte ( mint flavored something), a chocolate muffin that my kid smashed and I had my first ever cronut (I’m drooling thinking about it) honestly it was magical! I was given a cookies and cream donut and It was so delicious without being overly sweet. If I lived near this would be my daily spot! If the owner ever wants to franchise or open another location take a look at North Carolina and let me know!!

Amazing in...

I was so excited to try Apocalypse’s new location, so I got my usual order (large iced caramel latte and the terrestrial teriyaki bowl with no protein and coconut rice). I ordered around lunch time and took it immediately home. The coffee was delicious but the coconut rice in the teriyaki bowl was absolute mush and inedible. I’m sure this is due to new location growing pains, but I attempted to call both locations just to let them know not to sell any more of that rice today as that batch was obviously no good. From the new location, I was hung up on as soon as I voiced that I had an issue with my order, then was unable to leave a message when I called back as the voicemail hadn’t been set up yet, and I couldn’t get through to anyone on the phone at the original location nor leave a message as that inbox was full. I love Apocalypse and I hope you guys are able to get things running smoothly at the new location quickly! I’m really only leaving this because of the poor response when trying to call...
