Came here to get the matcha. It's a super cute place and really nice, but the Matcha is pretty terrible. Very grassy taste and is almost grainy as well. They don't make it right there; they have it in a shake bottle that they mix with some milk. Prices are reasonable, but I just wish it were better quality matcha. Hopefully the espresso is better, cause otherwise a very cute place.

WOW! Can’t describe in words how much I love this little cute coffee shop. They are uniquely different with their menu consisting of “affirmation lattes.” Each one packs a powerful punch of flavor, as I seem to keep coming back to this shop to try everyone latte. Overall would recommend! ☕️🤍🤎

Iron and Kin is the best coffee shop ever bar none! I can't brag about this place enough.
The inside of the coffee shop is very neutral, aesthetic, and modern with some earthy vibes. The music selection there is always on point!
The baristas that work there are some of my favorite people ever. I genuinely look forward to coming here for the great coffee but for the overall experience and interaction with the staff here.
I read some comments regarding the long line/wait time but I truly think the wait is worth it. The coffee is consistently good and the interaction with the staff is always pleasant. They provide a service that other coffee shops and businesses lack.
Our go to drinks are the courageous and worthy lattes! If I could give this place 1000000000000 stars I would!

DONT BOTHER COMING IF YOUR EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO ARRIVING 30 minutes before closing. Came to try for the first time and they cut the line off at 4:40pm. The disappointing thing was that the line was going to be finished quickly even maybe finishing before the 5pm closing time. It was moving fast. I asked 3 times letting them know it was my first time coming there and I didn’t know they did that. The short white girl with brown features and pony tail just unapologetically smiled and said nope wouldn’t be fair to other customers. If you want to support a kind loving staff/ business this isn’t the one. Try Harvard and Yale. 100x better experience near by.
They cafe reported my review to yelp and had it removed. They would rather invest into petty activities then address concerns

My favorite cold brew by far. I love this place. I'm here as often as I can
Delighted to find this place! I'm always on the search for good coffee in independent settings. My vanilla oatmilk latte tasted perfect, the right temperature and right ratio of vanilla to espresso. They definitely know what they're doing. I asked for a real mug and it tasted even better!

What a hidden (literally in the back of the building) gem of a coffee shop! Coffee was amazing! I had Worthy latte (minus black pepper as I personally don’t like anything with any hint of spice) and a pistachio croissant that was delicious! There was a bit of a line but well worth the wait!!! The gentleman at the counter was super personable with every single customer. Will definitely be back!!!

Iron & Kin is such a beautiful and cozy environment. It's always busy but that's because of the quality of it's product and staff. I've never seen such a bustling spot where the staff make each person feel paid attention to while they're getting taken care of. I'm obsessed with their lattes and their matchas. Absolutely phenomenal spot.

Great coffee and very friendly staff! My one gripe is that there are too many “service dogs” who clearly do not meet ADA standards.
Businesses can ask: Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? & What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?. They can also remove animals who are not under control.
My trained service dog and I have been barked and lunged at each time we visit, and while it’s a good training opportunity, I hate worrying that she might be attacked while I’m just trying to enjoy my coffee.
Apologies for the long review, but I like to provide good faith feedback to businesses I enjoy. I understand it can be uncomfortable for employees to ask the two questions, but legit service dog handlers always, always appreciate it. It keeps us and our dogs safe. A big “No Dog Allowed” sign on the door might also help.
Photo feat. my girl showing appropriate service dog behavior (tucked out of the way and virtually invisible when not performing a task). For anyone considering a visit, I’d absolutely give Iron & Kin 5 stars if not for this issue!

Nice coffee shop but the line is always crazy! Especially on a Friday afternoon. I got the strawberry matcha and it was good— your run of the mill matcha latte with strawberry syrup at the bottom.
