I ordered a maple coffee and it is sweet and not bad. The coffee shop looks like a cute nice local place. However, the barista working there is cold and looks very unhappy. I, as a customer, started with greeting her first and saying have a nice day when I left but ended up getting nothing back, even a smile or a look. I feel so bad to start my morning this way in a place that looks so warm and nice. Hopefully it’s just because she had a bad morning not something else.

Great blend. Nice locals
Love the atmosphere here but the staff of late is horrible. A couple of them (and especially the black woman with awesome hair) seems super angry. Today when I was given a for here cup, and said politely oh it was to go, Instead of remaking my drink which had frothy foam at the top ,the girl just set down a to go cup in front of me. No apology. She didn’t even offer to pour the drink from one cup to the other, even though it was still on the service stand and I hadn’t touched it. Besides that, I wanted a new one made or at least foam added to the top. That’s why I pay an extra dollar for that drink. Otherwise, I should just pay for a coffee and add my own milk. Anyway it wasn’t just today, it’s every time I walk in and she’s behind the counter, I don’t get greeted or smiled at, and I feel like I’m inconveniencing the staff by ordering. The woman making my drink, with extremely blonde hair, wasn’t involved in this interaction, but didn’t do anything to fix it either, which she could and should have. Anyway, I don’t want to slam this coffee shop because it’s so lovely and in the past it’s been amazing to be at, but I do think the staff needs to be retrained or let go.

This is a small corner neighboorhood coffee shop with good coffee and friendly staff. There is a variety of different seating and it was quiet/coffee shop atmosphere with some conversations and light volume barista playlist from behind the counter. There is a restroom. The coffee was very good. There were limited food options though. Pastry cabinet with the usual items and a vanilla yogurt with granola. I would absolutely come back for another coffee.

I ordered the Maple Jawn, and it was so delicious!! I like how it’s different from a traditional latte: they use a cold brew concentrate as the espresso, and a lot of milk so it’s still creamy. I came on a Saturday morning and the atmosphere was incredible. People were working, chatting with friends, or sitting outside enjoying the nice weather. I highly recommend this cafe and would love to come back to do some studying!!

Came here for old times sake - I now live in Texas but used to live in queen village. Such a wonderful place to chill and work, alongside great espresso from elixir.

Cold brew decaf. DECAF. Such a blessing.
Shot Tower is a cozy neighborhoody spot, has friendly service and overall is just great. But I’m pretty sure they’re also the only place on earth with decaf cold brew. I mean unheard of right? Thank you Shot Tower you have truly broken new ground
