This is not the same slow train it used to be. No vibes and hours aren’t it anymore. Bring back the wood counter counter days back

Iced matcha latte was a disappointment. It didn’t taste and look like matcha.

We went because of the coffee according to the good reviews by oberlins finest. Amazing care, taste and selection of coffee. Super affordable and off the charts chai. Dont forget to get your espresso. Kudos.

We stopped in on a cold, rainy day and were glad to find this cozy coffee spot. We ordered three drinks—one with regular milk, one soy latte, and an oat milk blueberry muffin along with a vegan muffin.
I rated service a 3 because the drinks weren’t labeled when placed on the counter, and since I’m lactose intolerant, I needed to be sure which one was the soy latte. The muffins were ice cold and tasted like they’d just been thawed. They didn’t offer to warm them up, and since we took them to go, we assumed they’d at least be warm or room temp. Overall, okay coffee but disappointing food experience.

Went there with my family looking forward to a cup of coffee. There was a sign that said no half & half, but actually they was no cream, heavy cream, or milk. How do you run a coffee shop without creamer. Like the one comment stated, inefficiently run establishment. If your distributor could not deliver the dairy products, go to the grocery store and get your supplies as a back up.

Slow Train's spinach and cheese croissant was the best pastry I've ever had-flakey and warm with a perfect balance of everything! I tried their iced strawberry cream cold brew and can't say it was for me, but the kind staff and relief of the AC more than made up for it. I paid just over $10 for my two items, so if your budget is tight this may not be the fit for you. I will absolutely be back for more pastries!!

Friendly staff, great coffee, a few good gluten-free bakery options as well.
I'm not a coffee afficanado or anything, but to me their drinks are really good! Definately not burnt or over-roasted like I've had elsewhere. I have heard from friends that their matcha is milky and leaves something to be desired. Service speed is dependant on how busy they are, but never unreasonable. There is often a line to the door, which speaks to how loved this place is. It is often pretty crowded, especially around Oberlin midterms or finals, but a seat usually opens up by the time I've got my food. An excellent study location if you enjoy a steady amount of background noise.

Despite its ostensible charm, this establishment is a paragon of inefficiency, where the art of coffee-making is reduced to an insipid, mechanical ordeal. The baristas, exuding an air of perfunctory disinterest, meander through their tasks with a lethargy that borders on indolence, rendering even the simplest order an exercise in Sisyphean patience. The coffee itself, a pallid and uninspired concoction, lacks both depth and nuance, betraying a grievous lack of craftsmanship. As for the ambiance, one might find greater comfort in a sterile waiting room, as the cacophony of poorly curated music and the incessant clatter of incompetence form a discordant symphony of disappointment. In sum, this so-called café is a monument to mediocrity, best avoided by anyone with even a modicum of discernment.
Awesome place
