Expensive drinks for the barista to be putting 70-90% effort and giving a drink not made to perfection. The cashier was nice though.

Was pleasantly surprised by the matcha here. I don’t usually get anything in the public market, but I will have to get a matcha the next time im around.

I asked if they had soy milk…the barista said yes, I ordered a soy milk latte & 100% just got an $8 oat milk latte 😀

An excellent coffee!! First of all, it was roasted properly, and not the partially roasted junk you get at so many places these days. Full. City. Roast. And the coffee was brewed to just about perfect strength, not weak, so the result was absolutely divine! I swear angels were singing! Thank you, George Howell, for your awesome attention to quality and detail!!

LOVE their London fog. They use orange peel, vanilla, and rose. If you pop by a George Howell and they have it on the menu, try it out!!. Not all the locations have it (for example, you can’t get it at the airport). I recommend trying it hot and make it a large because you’ll love it.

The best matcha latte I’ve ever had omg. So creamy. Order it with maple syrup!

Came for a drip, but got so warm on my walk I ended up with an iced latte. It was good. Need to go back for a drip to really see how the coffee tastes!

Nice coffee and hot chocolate - more seating options might be good though but plenty in the market as well so not too big an issue.

Fine little coffee spot, but the iced latte (alchemy) has been inconsistent over the past year. When it’s good it’s really good, but there are also enough days there it tastes like coffee.. water?

Once you go black at George Howell you won’t want to go back! They have a decaf pourover that’s quite naturally processed too in comparison to typical decaf. I also like how knowledgeable the staff is about flavors and notes as well.

Great customer service and coffee is stellar!

Ordered the standard cold brew for $5.30.

We parked in the garage, so ended up spending some time here to cover parking costs.

Staff was quick and friendly.

The employees are nice and the matcha lattes I ordered were good. My only gripe is that the employee who assembles the drinks does it kind of messy (my drink would have milk spilled on the cup and it wasn’t closed correctly and when I tried to close it, some splashes of milk dropped from milk being stuck on the lid). And also she does not wear gloves when assembling the drinks but touches the inside of the cups with her bare fingers to grab them. It would be better if she didn’t touch the inside of the plastic cups with her bare fingers and instead grabbed the outside of the cups only if she wasn’t wearing gloves. Didn’t get a pic of her doing that because it was fast but had a pic after to imagine what I’m talking about.

Waited 20 minutes for small drip coffee, dozens of people got their order ahead of me and the person who took more order seemed annoyed that I didn't give a tip (it was $4 for a plain 12oz coffee). They didn't seem apologetic at all that it took as long as it did. I wanted to ask for a refund but at that point I had already wasted enough time.
