The young Barista made me an amazing iced mocha. I had never been here it was so good.

I’ve driven past this location so many times and finally stopped in. It’s an adorable coffee shop with a ton of character kept from the building. The tall ceilings and giant windows make it the perfect place to work from. We went on a Thursday morning and it was empty around 9:30 but got busy by 10am. There are quite a few tables and booths.

The WiFi was down that day unfortunately, so that made it tough to work there. But the pollinator latte was delicious and had a strong espresso flavor.

What a gem of atmosphere and also superb coffee! Barista Brook made our day more than once here, totally chill and happy vibe, and i see that everyone gets taken care of in the most subtle way. We love the art too and want to know the artist! This place nourishes us; bless everyone here ❤️?❤️

I have avoided writing a review for a long time because I used to live in the neighborhood and came here often always hoping for a better experience. I always had to brace myself for the blatant rudeness I was going to endure, often as my first interaction of the day. I let it go for a long time out of respect for the business but the last two times I came here it soured my entire day. They staff is SO RUDE. I worked in coffee for a long time. And the bitchy barista thing is so lame. You work in customer service and to make me feel like my order is annoying is insane. You all need to get it together I know SO many people who stopped patronizing this business because of the staff.. coffee isn’t good enough to be treated poorly.

Wow… I love the king field and the 1994 boyz. Can’t go wrong with either one!

Ordered two double espressos in one cup which often yields a long shot but these guys pulled it well, and the roast wasn't overly bright or citrusy. Just plain good espresso. Before going in I read a review about a lack of friendliness. While they were friendly, I rather love that aloof barista who doesn't feel the need to expend extra energy dealing with people's insecurities.

Me and a couple of buddies went out there for a pride institution, alumni walk and coffee the lake. The coffee was really good.

Solid coffee and good food. Decent place to work remotely but lacking in power outlets and music felt a bit loud. Service is quick but staff members are not friendly or welcoming.

Just wanted a quick coffee while out driving for work, so I stopped in this place. Service was fast yes, but not very friendly people. Ask the guy how his day was, no response. Then I asked what flavors they had and he just pointed me to a list instead of just telling me. Then he walked away before I even finished paying. Yes I understand they have orders to make and they want to be efficient, but customer service should still be a factor. It was 6 dollars for a bare bones coffee with a few pumps of flavoring. Not to mention it was about the same size of a Starbucks medium. Then when I was leaving I asked another guy if I could get a lid for my coffee, to which he just pointed to a sign that said “lids by the back door”. Didn’t use a single word. I also feel like this gentleman gave me a few looks while I was ordering. I guess friendliness isn’t a strong suit for the two that were working the day I went. I hope this was just a one of experience, but it left a bitter taste in my mouth. Atmosphere was nice though.

Stopped into Five Watt while on a walk. Great vibes, quick service. Loved the complex and unique yet delicious coffees. I got an Iced Kingfield, and my husband got a seasonal special.

A+++ Hip coffee joint with great bakery. I came here to kill some time while waiting between appointments. I ordered a giant iced espresso and it was well made, by hand. The server was attentive and it's nice to order your coffee from the person who's prepared to make it, the heart was a nice touch! My muffin was fresh. This place is legit! Fast service. A neighborhood gem! I wish I lived close by so I could come every morning! I haven't tried the food yet but it seems like a natural evolution and I'm glad to see these guys have expanded post pandemic. Kudos! And thanks for the great Tuesday morning brunch!

Parking: Seems like it's mostly street parking. I didn't see a lot.
