Laid-back, relaxing atmosphere, amazing service, and heckin’ good coffee!
For some reason, I didn’t think there were many good coffee shops in the Lehigh Valley, but clearly I’ve been proven wrong. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a cheerful solo barista making all the drinks amidst a pretty packed shop. All the patrons were respectfully quiet, with the most prominent sound being that of the steaming wand every so often. I ordered my usual iced latte, and the barista immediately got to work, making two drinks at once with impressive speed and precision, all while greeting new customers, making small talk with all existing patrons, and checking in to see if they needed anything.
Soon, I got my drink and headed out on my drive back to Pittsburgh. The bold espresso quickly made itself known, with strong flavours of brown sugar and malt, and maybe dark stone fruit as well. They claim to be the best specialty coffee shop in Bethlehem, and I really don’t doubt that. Give it a shot and you really won’t be disappointed.
Thanks for an amazing cup of coffee (and...
Read moreWent to pick up my son and his friends on New Year's Day at the LV Mall. I arrived at 5:25 and had my choice of parking. I chose the small lot (near Yankee Candle) so I could park and see the Barnes and Noble entrance. Needed a cup of coffee and sandwich; looked to my left and seen The Joint Coffee. (Ah, what the heck; I'll try it). Ordered a black coffee and the ham + cheese inside a round croissant. Waited maybe 3 minutes? The young guy handed me a hot coffee and steaming sandwich. Walked out and made it to my car; sat facing the Mall Entrance waiting for the boys to arrive. Took a small bite of the hot, flaky croissant: Almost cried. WOW.... THAT was a sandwich !!! No bigger than my hand and a bit pricey, but worth every penny!!! (Checked my phone to see if I had time to go back and get a second sandwich!!!!). But the kids exited the Mall when I was finishing. Nursed the coffee all the way home. No hesitation about visiting again!! Quality and Customer...
Read moreWas recommended to go to this place while I waited for an appointment with the Apple Store across the way. I walked in to two guys being taken cared of n three or four tables of 2 already eating in the space. There was a girl n guy tending to the husband wife duo while I n my infant patiently waited at the end of the bar. When I wasn’t greeted I strolled over to the male cashier still engaging with the paying customer, but still no acknowledgement. I waited for the girl to turn herself around from the espresso machine, still wasn’t even looked at. Mind you I have a bright red coat on and a stroller so a little hard to miss. I stood there approximately 10min with the male worker handing a crossaint to a customer sitting and a coffee to another right in front of me!... STILL not even “I’ll be right with you.” I guess I’m a ghost or don’t matter to them since they have Apple recommending their...
