“I've visited the Carmel & 38th St locations and found both have great service, drinks, and atmosphere!“

“The clove miel is amazing — it's honey with roasted clove and it gives the coffee an incredible flavor. I also had the brisket and egg burrito, delicious. The place is very eclectic, lots of art pictures around, rustic decor with colors, very alive, plants everywhere. It feels cozy — a really great place and great environment.“

“Good location, nice atmosphere and good coffee. It was packed when I stopped by for an afternoon iced latte.“

“nice Latte but need to use coffee☕️ mugs to retain heat instead glass glasses. Good service.“

“I tried Ascend Coffee for the first time. I love seeing people in a coffee shop. I do not have a problem standing in line. A line is a sign that I am where the good coffee is and my coffee will be hot! My Americano with splash of skim milk and Honey Cardamom syrup is SPOT ON! Then, the pastries I picked up for my husband and I...YES!!!Fig and Goat Cheese Puff; Savory Scone; and Almond Croissant. I snuck a quick bite of all 3 because the only one stopping my curiosity is me! Oh-My-Word! You can bet your last penny that signed up to earn points. As soon as I walked in the door, smelled the aroma of divine espresso and seeing all the people visiting, I knew I found the place for me! It's not just hot and good coffee...you have been transported to another dimension when you meet the amazing people taking your order and fixing your coffee! This is not merely a PLACE, Ascend Coffee is an experience! I earned 9 points at my first visit. To quote the Terminator, "I'll be back!"“

“Very quick service! Great communication. Me and my boyfriend had gotten an iced mocha with chocolate swirl whipped cream.“

“Excellent food that shouldn't be missed. Blink and you'll miss this gem of Eritrean/Ethiopian cuisine.“

“Very nice spot for a coffee and food ! They make nice breakfast burritos. Latte and americano were very delicious too. Definitely recommend to stop by there and try it ! This charming spot is a delightful haven for coffee and food enthusiasts alike. Nestled in a cozy corner, it offers a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for a relaxing morning or an afternoon break. Their breakfast burritos are a must-try, bursting with flavorful ingredients like fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage, and a hint of spicy salsa, all wrapped in a soft tortilla. Pair your meal with a perfectly crafted latte or a robust americano, both of which are brewed to perfection, ensuring a rich and satisfying taste experience. The friendly staff adds to the welcoming vibe, making it a place you’ll want to return to. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this spot is definitely worth a visit to indulge in their delicious offerings.“

“Wonderful coffee and super friendly staff.“

“Red Door is the place you want to go for warm academia plant vibes with the addition of AMAZING coffee. It's right next to my apartment which is a good & bad thing because I love them so much. Service is just as incredible.

I know a lot of people like to go to Parlor... their coffee isn't my favorite, but if you are looking for more seating outdoors I would say that's one plus. If I could suggest one thing for Red Door it would be adding more seating in the large room with more ambient lighting. It's so much space that has lots of opportunity.“

“Awesome place to visit and hang out!“

“This Horror-themed coffee shop is very visually appealing! Horror movies are not a huge thing for me as they actually make me laugh, but I like different so I have been wanting to try this place! It is a small area to sit in, but we went on a late Monday morning to which it was not as busy! The latte I had was filled with good flavor! And Alex got a smoothie which I had to try and it was amazing! He loved it as well! The barista was so beyond friendly! Very top notch! Good vibes and wonderful drinks! Definitely recommend! Plenty of parking, but in a location within a short walking distance to many stores located in Fountain Square! Definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I pulled into the location in lynchburg va today thinking it was open already and two you the really nice girls walked out and give me free samples!!!! I'm so excited for this to open I'm definitely going to be a regular!!! ❤️“

Great place for everyone!“

“If you’re looking for the gold standard of cold brew, Java House is it. Their signature brew is incredibly smooth, never bitter. It’s my go-to spot for catching up with friends or meeting colleagues because the atmosphere is just right. Plus, their seasonal menu drops are always creative and worth the wait!“

“In on a work trip from Alabama, and this was by far the best meal we had. One of the best I have ever had. Violet was amazing and so attentive. We shared the Alfredo fries, and I had the fillet and cheesecake for desert. The atmosphere was amazing. She even gave us a tour of the building.“

“My expectations were high because the rating was so high but I don’t think that way?!! the barista was so unpleasant and the coffee was horribly made I was expecting a strong coffee not water coffee!!“

“My husband and I wanted to try a new place today! If you know the energy sport they have something called the dirty Elvis. This place didn’t have it but I asked if they could make it. He said yes! Anything for the customer! Asked me what is contained and he made it!! Was so good the atmosphere here was amazing very nice people amazing service! Would definitely recommend!!!“

“Absolutely fantastic!“

“just bought some blueberry lea flower tea fast shipping great product will be getting more“

“I appreciate Normal's quiet, open space and enjoy bottomless coffee! More co-workung space than a hustle and bustle coffee shop but with welcoming vibes, and inspiring workers ❤️ ☕️“

“I stopped in today for a business meeting to discuss Q4 real estate goals. I was greeted when I entered. There were a lot of drinks to choose from on the menu. You have the optior of adding an enhancer which I declined. I chose the blackberry lemon shake up. It was 10/10 Not too sweet and not too bitter. The bathroom was clean. I was able to have my meeting without having to yell. The music selection was really nice. The place is really vibey anc intimate.“

“Thee spot on Mass Ave to hang! Best espresso martinis in town!“

“My sister and I came here a couple weeks ago for our bible study (atmosphere wasn’t ideal for that just because it was kinda loud that day but there were a few meetings happening) BUT we are still talking about the spicy feta we got on our bagels. Our coffee was good too! I’ll definitely be back!“

“Staff was so nice and accommodating. The espresso martini was fabulous. The whole vibe is so good there.“

“You can tell a lot of thought and care went into the design and aesthetics of this place. It's concrete floors and exposed ducts, but somehow they've made it super cozy, mellow and welcoming.

My coffee was great and the folks working the counter were perfectly friendly and fast. I'm looking forward to coming back to try some of the baked goods and cocktails.

This is a nice chill place to start your morning or end your evening. The coffee and cocktail menu appears to include the classics along with a constantly changing creative mix of non-alcoholic and alcoholic options. It's the Radiohead of coffee/cocktail shops with friendly baristas and bartenders.“

“I am a frequent visitor. Every drink, every sandwich and even the vibe each day is one of a kind spectacular! So thankful to have this wonderful cafe just down the street from my house!“

“Such a hidden gem on the East side! Great coffees and bagel egg breakfast sandwich is really good! Plenty of room to hang out with friends, maybe get a little work done, or enjoy some "me" time.“
