The service was nice. Seems like a great place to study. Incredibly overpriced for plain black coffee that was burnt beyond measure.

Place is “aesthetic” and fitting for those who like it. I can only hope the employees are getting paid well enough, because $5 for the cheapest and smallest black coffee and over $7 dollars for a matcha is overpriced for a city like BG. Serving it in a tray with a glass jar don’t add up for the lack of quality in the drink itself. Pastries are very good, and over priced… Not a misunderstanding. Pour over coffee usually isn’t burnt either.

Visited with some friends to chat and read together. The space is very nice and cozy however save your neck and back, do not sit on the leather couch by the door. It is insanely uncomfortable especially while trying to maintain conversation. Got a scone and it was one of the best scones I've ever had. I don't drink caffeine or coffee so I opted for a hot chocolate and it was one of the worst I've ever had. Hardly any flavor or richness at all. I don't recommend going here if you plan on studying, working, reading, or trying to hold a quiet conversation. The music was pretty loud and the acoustics of the walls allowed a few groups of women's conversations be extremely loud and distracting.

I’ve been drinking specialty coffee for over 15 years, and unfortunately this bag from Flatlands was a big letdown…especially considering the price. The quality simply doesn’t match the premium positioning. The cup was flat and uninspiring, lacking the clarity, sweetness, and character I expect from specialty coffee at this cost.
I noticed they reference winning “Best Roaster in Ohio” in 2022, but it’s now 2026, and that accolade doesn’t seem to reflect the current product. Coffee changes quickly, and based on this experience, the brand feels like it’s riding past recognition rather than delivering standout quality today. Not bad coffee, but significantly overpriced for what’s in the bag.

Excellent espresso. Roaster has won BEST Roaster in OHIO from Food & Wine magazine. Scones are top-notch -- kombucha/lavender are out of this world. Worth a stop. Wish I lived closer!

Amazing coffee and super friendly service! The space is cozy and clean. You can tell they are taking their coffee seriously. We had a kombucha lavender scone that was also so delicious. Drove a while out of our way to visit this shop and were not disappointed!

Great coffee shop! What sets them apart from others is the customer service. I have gone there less than 10 times and on the 3rd visit (and every after) the barista has my drink already being made before I order!

They only had 1 kid working like a chicken with his head cut off. I felt bad. They need at least 2 people in there. Took like 20 minutes for like a $5 black coffee, it was mid and overpriced. The atmosphere was nice tho very Starbucks. Pastries were good!
