I hate to be that person but I feel like a coffee shop that opens at 8 on a busy intersection in this neighborhood. Is not here to serve a certain crowd, natural blends gets it they are open early and are very nice. The one person I expect to understand this at Trash Island is extremely rude but I understand this more and more now because trash island doesn't want black business.

The service here is hit or miss. The coffee is mid and the vibe is boring. The baristas aren't really that friendly (except for one guy, he's really nice) but there are way better coffee shops in the area.

A nice and chill place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee.

Trash Island used to be one of my go-to spots before this change in ownership. Now it feels sterile and dim, the coffee dipped in quality, and it seems like the chill and kind (and mostly queer) staff was fired. Walk an extra block or two if you’re looking for coffee. Bummer.

Trash Island is the opposite of trash and far from an island as the coffee and food are top notch, and the service and atmosphere is warm and inviting. I don’t even drink coffee regularly and I will definitely be coming here often.

A good $3 cup of coffee that I would happily drink many times over

It’s really sad what happened to Trash Island. This used to be such a cool and positive space with an amazing queer staff who had all been there for years. It was a rare space where you could pop in and hang out and genuinely be treated like a friend. (Or even actually make real friends and build community.) Unfortunately, it was recently sold to new owners who fired all three of the long time staff. The new owners are more interested in turning a quick buck instead of investing in the neighborhood. There are numerous good coffee shops nearby - leave trash island in the past and go support another business.

Always a vibe and good quality of coffee and conversation. Trash gives a more grunge "The Planet" from the L word vibe.

On Saturdays, you can get the absolute best cappuccino at a great price. Their barista is knowledgeable and talented behind the bar. Will

Grabbed an oat milk latte here. Barista was friendly. Lots of people working indoors. Outdoor seating was available. They do have stamp cards available for returning customers- just ask for one. Coffee was middle of the road for me (nothing spectacular or horrendous). No pastries, just banana bread that I could see out on the counter. A few people working on their laptops indoors.
