Cognoscenti Coffee Roasters

Had a coffee hangout with my friend whose daily coffee spot is Cognoscenti. I wasn’t having high expectations to be honest. So I ordered for a cappuccino and boy, I was pleasantly surprised. 💯 recommended. Heard their coffee too is really good. So if you are in the neighborhood, stop by!

Super cute little shop. A bit warm inside but my coffee was great, the barista was super friendly and chatted with me while she made it, and plenty of seating inside and out!

SPANISH TORTILLA!!!! It’s soooo good 🤤
I came across this coffee shop, working across the street window tinting and WOW I’m completely shocked by the amazing flavors in their food. We got the açaí with strawberry and granola, the Spanish tortillas and a bread thing. All soo good I ordered one to take home. Went to complement the food and then the owner gave us a cookie to try and it was delicious! Great experience

Chill vibes, open airy seating (and lots of outside shaded seating as well). Honey Latte was very good. Closes kinda early and wasn’t too busy when I went. Great for studying or reading. Street parking $1/hour

Saw this cafe across Creature Comforts brewery in a little business park on Olive st downtown. The space isn’t much to look at, and it was rather warm inside making it uncomfortable. There is more seating outside but it was a hot day so we chose the lesser of two evils and stayed in.

Tried their signature Latte Noir which I found to be just meh. Even with the extra shots of espresso I didn’t find it to be too strong but also nothing stood out about it considering the other ingredients they added.
We got a matcha and a cookie. The cookie was good the matcha like any other.

Overall, serviceable for those living or working downtown, though plenty of other spots I would choose first. But they do have a secure courtyard area to work in which is nice.

Great Coffee. Got the Iced Mocha with Oat and is exactly the amount of sweet I want on a Mocha latte. Also got a flat white and coffee is superior! Will definitely come back again. Great vibe and open atmosphere with roasting in the store.

Latte Noir with Maple syrup and Savory Focaccia, it was really good! It is pricier than regular coffee shops but, they do their pastries in house!
