The name still confuses me but the coffee is good and it's a nice place to just sit and work on something. The staff are friendly and it's generally good vibes.

Ok so the coffee was good. I'm pretty pick about cold brews and iced coffees, so I did enjoy this one quite a bit. Menu is good and reasonably priced for more substantial food - not many pastries if that's what you're looking for. The cafe itself is not it. WiFi password you have to ask for which for socially anxious neurodivergents is unfortunate. NO OUTLETS?! Super weird for a coffee shop.

The avocado toast was very flavorful, the almond butter toast was extremely delicious , and the mocha was warm with a layer of foam on the top making it very yummy.

Great coffee, but no plug-ins for computers anywhere to be seen unless you carry a 10-foot extension cord to the hallway.

During a recent visit to Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters, I had some time to spare and decided it would be the perfect opportunity to get some studying done. I ordered an avocado toast and settled at a shared high table alongside another patron. While the idea of communal seating appealed to me, I found the seating options inside to be less than ideal. The stools were wobbly, and the table vibrated with every movement, which was quite distracting for someone in need of a quiet study space.Another unexpected source of distraction was a male barista who began his shift later in the day. His repetitive greeting of "welcome in" to customers entering and exiting the restroom, though well-intentioned, felt out of place in the calm atmosphere typically associated with a coffee shop.Despite these drawbacks, I was impressed with the staff's dedication to cleanliness. They were meticulously cleaning the walls, and the restroom was well-maintained—a good overall cleanliness of the establishment. The other staff members were genuinely nice, contributing to a welcoming environment.Given the high standards of cleanliness and friendly service, I’m willing to give Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters another try. Next time, I plan to sit outside and get a beverage to see if it makes for a more conducive study environment. I’ll be sure to update my review after my next visit.

Went there on a rainy morning and had a great cup of hot coffee. They were very busy and still able to keep up and provided great service. The set up is very thoughtful with plenty of seating and spaced very well. There were six of us and not once did we inconvenient anyone that walked by us; I pay attention to our surroundings. Definitely a place to hang out with friends if you live in the neighborhood. Parking was a bit challenging but it didn't bother me having to walk half a block.

It was a mocha kind of day and stopped by this gem. We ordered a white mocha and a hot chocolate. We got there late in the afternoon so we didn't get a chance to have a pastry with our afternoon coffee, but that's ok we'll be back because I loved the white mocha. It was made just perfect. The service was great. The ambiance was pretty chill, and relaxed. Good lighting and you can even people watch from the street while sipping on your coffee. Great place to grab a mocha!
5 stars all around. Great place to stop and get coffee and a bite on a long bike ride.

Many a times will I attend an establishment and rave about the water... Well this time it will be different. Can we take a moment to talk about the cute cups they used for the water this time? This was awesome. I didn't know they made cups this small for water and look like mason jars awesome awesome.
