Cool place ! Great coffee! Held a few impromptu meetings here and it has been great. Much more than a coffeehouse. Try it!

The bird and berry (turkey, cranberry brie spread, and organic greens on baguette) earns a solid 7 out of 10. The sandwich boasted a delightful mix of flavors and textures, though a bit more cranberry would have elevated it further. Nonetheless, the staff's kindness added to the dining experience, and the excellent quality of the coffee complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, a satisfying choice for a quick bite.

Spent a few hours here co-working with a friend to start the year. Great light from the wall of windows and right on the corner so the space is bright and easy to find. However if you sit by the windows in winter, you will freeze. We reserved a table ahead of time online but it didn't seem like it was necessary as many people came and went throughout the time I was there with no reservation. The majority of people here are remote working or having meetings. I had a smoothie and bagel with avocado on the side during my visit, they were both okay. Drinks were your typical cafe menu. It would be nice to see a vegan sandwich option on the food menu. Some menu items could be modified to be vegan but then you're removing most of the toppings or modifying it so much it doesn't seem worth it. Staff wasn't over friendly but nice, the space was clean aside from the bathrooms, which were a little dingy. It would be helpful to have a way to indicate when the bathrooms are occupied or not. With so many people coming and going, there was often a line waiting and then one of the bathrooms wouldn't even be occupied but people didn't want to knock to find out. I would return if needed but there was nothing special that makes me want to make a point to come back.

This place is great to grab coffee and a bite to eat while working or studying! The office is exactly what you would expect with a quiet atmosphere and plenty of space to work. I had the pistachio latte and a blueberry muffin. The pistachio latte was tasty but didn't taste too much like pistachio. The blueberry muffin was very soft with a lot of blueberries and sugar on top. The drink and muffin were in my hands two minutes after ordering.

Coffee is not worth the 3rd wave prices. Tastes like the 90’s.

It shouldn't be too hard to find good coffee, great service and a warm atmosphere but these days it is far too rare. Luckily, I found The Office Coffee Shop which has all three.The Office is the furthest shop from me. Every day I wake up and pass my corner coffee shop, Starbucks, and two more local coffee spots to get to The Office where I'm certain I'll get quality coffee from a friendly and funny staff. It's always worth the trip.

Great place to grab a coffee and get some work done. They even give a portion of your total to a charity that you get to pick. Love it!

Lovely atmosphere, plenty of seating/outlets and fantastic coffee. I wish they would give the names of what they're brewing that day but the quality was fantastic. Some of the best (not watered down at all) cold brew. 5/5 will be returning :)

Excellent local coffee shop that has really good basics, but some fun stuff too! Lavender latte anyone? I'm a big fan of their cold brew, and my daughter loves their matcha lattes. They also have really delicious baked goods and cheesecakes. The vibe is very chill and would be a great spot to meet a friend or send off a few emails. I believe there is parking behind the building, but if not there's always ample street parking.

The tea is good and the space is physically nice but the soundscape does anything but promote focus, deep thinking and concentration. The music is insipid. The sound system is poor.

Really enjoy coming here for coffee and to read. The workers are always super kind and helpful. I love that they do monthly special drinks and donate to different causes. Their white chocolate mocha (you can also add other flavors to it which I recommend) is probably one of the best I've ever had.My only issue here is sometimes they don't call out the drinks loud enough, and the music choices are pretty bad. Enough so they can cut into your focus. Dare I say even worse than Starbucks. I've heard like early 2000s one day and then cover instrumental music of regular pop the next. It's super random. Certainly not enough to detract my want of coming here, though.I'd keep in mind that when this place gets busy, it is a decently long wait. The cashier is often also making drinks, so you might have to wait to order. Still, not enough to make me leave. I really do enjoy this place a lot. It's worth a try.
