About Scorpio Coffee

Scorpio Coffee is a cozy and clean café that offers high-quality coffee and matcha. The cappuccino has low acidity and no bitterness, while the hojicha latte has distinctive sesame and seaweed notes. The café also serves a unique and delicious specialty drink and food menu, which features locally sourced, in-season ingredients. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is not pretentious. The space is modern and well-designed, with options for indoor and outdoor seating, including private areas and stand-up bars that create a flexible vibe.

The café has limited indoor seating, but outside tables are available for enjoying the fresh air. While the outdoor seating area could be more cared for—such as ensuring tables are clean and planters are tidy—the inside offers a modern, cute environment. The line can be long, especially during busy hours, and the cramped ordering area can be chaotic. It would help if they had more cashiers to speed up service. Parking is street paid parking, which might require a short walk, but it’s worth it for the quality experience.

Food and drinks are consistently excellent. Popular items include the avocado toast, mushroom bread, and oatmeal, all beautifully presented and delicious. The mushroom toast, with a variety of mushrooms and a runny yolk, is especially praised, with the shallot aioli adding a divine touch. The coffee selection features drinks like the pumpkin spice latte, mocha, peppermint matcha, and Strawberry Daiquiri Pour Over, all highly recommended. The chocolate chip cookie is considered one of the best many have ever had, and the toast and red velvet latte remain favorites. The beautiful foam art and attention to detail in each drink make for a memorable coffee experience.

Overall, Scorpio Coffee is a popular Midtown hotspot loved by visitors and locals alike. The baristas are always nice, and the café offers alternative milks for dietary restrictions. It is wheelchair accessible with no stairs at all. Despite some minor drawbacks like crowded spaces and outdoor area maintenance, the quality of coffee, food, and the modern, fun atmosphere make it a place worth visiting.
