Jitters Coffee Bar and Last Ditch Roastery

I think the interior is fun in its kind of organized chaos. Both baristas were really nice and welcoming, but unfortunately my cortado was not drinkable. A cortado with no special instruction is what I normally use to gauge how good a coffee shop is. It had quite a bit of sediment and was so bitter that even swirling it around the cup did not change the flavor profile. It seems that many people rave about their dressed-up lattés but sometimes I just don't want a drink that big, and I don't want anything sweet. I see that they offer Turkish coffee. Maybe they gave me that by mistake. We were on our way through town so there was no turning back. Their cold brew was decent.

Pleasant and efficient, with patience and willingness to advise and recommend.

I decided to try my husband's(Toby Welsh)🤗 goto, a pb white frappe...it was good, BUT I'd rather have my Bianco(that Candi introduced me to 25 years ago)!🤗☕️🎶😎☕️

Nice mellow vibe. Owner is very friendly with warm personality. Good playlist on during my visit. Coffee was good but could be stronger (but maybe they have to tread a median that skews toward weaker brews). Nice scone.

07/01/2025 The coffee here was absolutely fabulous! The guy behind the counter (co-owner Scott), was kind but seemed a little stand offish… We brought my service dog who is a shepherd/lab mix and my bf’s German Shepherd. I understand they are big dogs but they are very well behaved. We were not told that we couldn’t bring my bfs dog in and there were no signs. There was another customer that had walked in, he was a little taken back when seeing the dogs, but over all didn’t seem up set. That is when Scott said that my bf’s dog wasn’t supposed to be in there because of health services. Ok… I was honestly a little confused because they have pictures of people’s personal dogs (not sure if they are customers dogs or what) hanging above the register. Then on their fb page where they introduce themselves, Scott even puts on there that he likes dogs and walking them. So I guess you can see my confusion. We would have completely understood if he had mentioned something when walking in but waiting till someone else came in to bring it up, was kind of mean. Making my bf feel bad about the whole situation. We are all about supporting local businesses and meeting new people! We get that not all places will allow us bringing personal dogs but best to know when walking in and not being embarrassed. The other thing is, doesn’t really have to do with coffee but I reached out to the other co-owner Candi because I saw on her fb page that she enjoyed knitting! I was super excited to see that, as I am not from here. And I love knitting! I asked if she could tell me some good places to go. The only response I got was the auto-generic response. Because of all the little things put together, we have not returned and we are here for two weeks. I get that owners are busy, but don’t have a generic message that you will message back and don’t. Like I said. The coffee is great but overall experience was disappointing.

I can't exactly put my finger on it but this place just absolutely made me so very happy, comfortable, and cozy. The coffee and pastries were delicious and the atmosphere was terrific. Everyone we interacted with was lovely. This is the kind of place that clearly highlights what you cannot get at a chain coffee house. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Great coffee, very nice people, but not your high end building. Nice, clean local hangout.

Loved it here, featuring a creative and uplifting vibe, complemented by a great name that added a personal touch. The experience was further enhanced by receiving a free art box, making it truly memorable. Will definitely be returning

Excellent service. They were extremely friendly and welcoming. DELICIOUS coffees! Very cozy coffee shop.
