Visited the cafe recently. Ordered a Latte and the lady staff didn't even attempt to make any Latte Arts. With such a big and beautiful Espresso machine she should at least learn how to make some sort of Latte Arts, otherwise people can buy such thing from a self vendor machine.
Swing’s serves some of the best coffee in the city. Roasted dark, nutty, and just shy of too acidic, the kind of cup that wakes up your soul and your skepticism. The beans, flown in from Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Costa Rica, clearly traveled better than you did as mandated by GSA travel per diems.
The baristas, meanwhile, maintain the quiet confidence of people who know they’re serving excellence and would prefer you not to ruin the vibe by existing. They glide around with the aloof grace of caffeinated monks, and somehow, that indifference makes the experience feel almost holy.
It’s coffee worth the attitude. Bring humility — and cash.

A place for a quick coffee. Their coffee is a dark robusta, which makes it too acidic for my palate. We wanted to get it with a couple of croissants, which weren't warmed through. I didn't find them friendly to customers, and their prices are high for a casual, everyday place.

I’ve been going to this coffee shop since 2012, minus the years they were closed for renovations and COVID. The coffee is excellent. The tea is excellent. The service is excellent. The vibe is excellent in that it’s not trying to be anything other than a coffee shop that’s been around for a long time. 10/10, no notes.

Everything was done perfectly. Everything worked as expected.

Pretty good overall. Met my basic needs.
Paid $11.27 for a small cappuccino and a pastry — and it really wasn’t that good. Especially the pastry was stale. The coffee here is decent, but I found the service not friendly.

It seems like there's some nostalgia for this old location, but I was disappointed. The staff is grouchy and unwelcoming, my cappuccino was luke warm and tasted weak, and the indoor seating is pretty limited. If you want a better overall experience, go to the other location nearby.
Charming coffee shop with a nice atmosphere and great decoration. It is hard to put in words what the style is but it reminds me a bit of retro jazz club. Good coffee at a reasonable price and enough space to work from. Highly recommended.

Great coffee. Nice people and fast service. Definitely one of the best coffee shops in the area. Limited food/pastry options, mostly sweets, but a few savory biscuit options/croissant, etc. The shop has some seating.

Brazil Legender is one of the smoothest coffees I've ever had.
