While the coffee was good, it wasn’t special enough to warrant $13-15 for a pourover. Perhaps I’m just biased against clean-tasting washed coffee, but at other places I can get something much more amazing for that price, or something as good at half the price

Loved the warehouse/loft vibes of this cafe. Every drink order comes with a sparkling water palette cleanser that feels high end despite the relaxed nature of the environment and the staff service.We know about SEY coffee because a local roaster carries their beans. Both the iced latte and chai were delicious. Their baked goods may not the forte (just a morning bun), but the drinks more than make up for it.

Loved the vibes in here and my iced chai was great. My friends’ oat milk lattes barely had any taste of coffee however. It looks like the espresso machine wasn’t working and they were using some sort of aeropress for the espresso that day. The barista was happy to make an extra double shot for them to remedy this. Thank you!

10/10 great place to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee and catch up with friends. We got the Cortado and a pour over. Both drinks were so flavorful and warm. The ambiance is refreshing and clean. The ceiling plant is absolutely beautiful and natural.

They only have really fatty milk (whole and oat milk) and put a ton of milk in the lattes to where it just tastes like straight

Beautiful location, love the no laptop policy so this place doesn't just become a remote workplace. Heirloom coffee that punches at a world class coffee level. Nothing to hate other than the fact that these nicities come at a cost (but one that is worth it).

Terrible attitude from staff. Don’t they realise they work in hospitality? Working in specialty coffee, there seems to be a right of passage that because the product is excellent (the coffee is fantastic) you can be absent of social skills. Also, the guy on the counter just made my filter coffee and left it without even a nod to say, ‘Hey, that’s your coffee if you want to come collect it’. He appeared to double down to be so stubborn, letting the coffee cool and waiting for me to approach the counter to ask was it mine. Imagine how good this place could be if the counter staff wanted to create an experience for consumers. Feels poor to write this review when I’m sure it’s the owners that didn’t set out for this but I’ve just seen a number of others posting on Instagram to share similar experiences. Note that some of the females here were reasonably friendly. SEY are a top international roaster with delicious coffees.

We had the cortado, regular drip and a Peru gesha single cup, all excellent! We weren't impressed with the cortado, the espresso was okay. The cookie was very good! My only complaint is that they didn't have the regular drip (Burundi honey processed) available for sale, I really wanted to take a bag home with me. Considering they roast it there, I thought it was a miss. Baristas were nice (even with the crowds in a rainy day) and knowledgeable!Kid-friendliness: It's not kid friendly

We went there as tourists looking for a great cup of coffee. We opened up Google Map, looked for "nearby coffee shops" and I spotted this place. After I read the reviews I decided this was a definite must. The reviews were pretty much on point as to the quality of the brews. I mean, I watch the occasional coffee ASMR videos in my social media streams, I own a manual espresso press and I don't mind spending a few extra $ on good coffee. Here I am. The order; a latte with oat milk and a drip coffee made with an Aeropress. We sit down at the counter (no laptop allowed except on a specially marked space) and just watch the baristas work furiously (rush hour for coffee enthusiasts it seems). I have to mention the efficacy of their movements: these are no amateurs. It was like watching a live ballet show, a karate kata of some sort with precise and timed movements. Nobody had to wait for a long time which was surprising given the amount of people vs the amount of employees. Our coffees came neatly presented on a wooden board with a glass of water and with a little card giving a brief history of where the coffee beans come from and the history of the cultivar (it comes with sparkling water but you can ask for the plain non-fizzy kind). The latte was great, creamy, delicate, and just really tasty. The Aeropress coffee was just as delicious, in fact, it was probably one of the best tasting non-espresso coffee I have ever tasted! In agent Cooper's words: " it is a DAMN fine cup of coffee". The decor is awesome, the plants and the lightwells bring a lot of light in the place. That said, it is not made to lounge and spend a couple of hours sipping on your coffee. Come in, sit down with your coffee, enjoy it and then be on your merry way, filled with joy and zen-like attitude after drinking this nectar of the gods. Because in the end, that is the reason we set foot there in the first place.

If you want to feel out of place, with the feeling that you don’t make enough money but with a sense of pretentiousness… you are at the right place.
