Great Latté; great service food choices limited but good ! Limited indoor seating at peak times; so we sat outside.

Best coffee in Verona hands down. It might even rival your favorite downtown Pittsburgh coffee shops!

There’s not enough seats here if you are looking for a place to stop and chat while having some snacks and coffee. BUT—If you want a really good tasting coffee without the hassle of queuing to some well known coffee shops— and you’re in verona area, why not visit here! Grab a hot beverage and also buy some handmade gifts that’s truly unique for your loved ones. Plus the barista is really friendly and accommodating. Go local!

I was excited to try this place after working in the area for years and hearing about it. I was thoroughly disappointed. First thing that caught me off guard was the menu seemed basic yet confusing. I was unsure how to order since there was no specific place saying iced or hot options (flavors on a smaller less obvious 8x10 menu) I went with a basic iced macchiato with sugar free caramel which gravely confused the barista. Her response seemed pretentious and made me feel uncomfortable like I did something wrong. She was like “are you looking for like a Starbucks type caramel drink I’m just trying to figure out what you want since macchiato drinks have steamed milk and two shots of espresso?” I was confused why it was difficult to make that iced which is an easy swap for frothed or cold milk…anyways she had to call another lady over who proceeded to tell me “how we do things here are more basic.” I ended up with a latte instead since which was their suggestion and I was already embarrassed by this point so I agreed to their suggestions even though I wanted a layered iced macchiato. I literally ordered the 3rd thing on the menu iced it wasn’t difficult and I get macchiatos this way everywhere I go; even smaller coffee shops. I felt like I was in an episode of Portlandia and I didn’t care for what their “moto” was and their responses made me feel like I was a phony in a business full of coffee purists, what a pretentious type of vibe. Also there was no seating! Three seats all occupied by regulars pounding away on their Mac books, 3 standing tables with no seats, with one women standing up on her Mac book. I’m sorry if all your other clientele are doing sit down activities it might be an indication that people want to sit. I stood there, several months pregnant embarrassed and over heated with no where to put my jacket. I just wanted to have a chat with my husband and relax for 5 minutes but it was so sterile. Also the coffee was so incredibly bitter and sour :( I won’t be back but hey they have decent branding and merchandising however; no stand out visuals or vibrancy. Their atmosphere is as boring as their coffees and they are purposefully eliminating a whole selection of people by not offering basic accommodations.

Pourovers are fantastic

This is a great little coffee shop and the fellows behind the counter are extremely knowledgeable in all things coffee. I drive 90 minutes to get a bag of their ground coffee, it is that good. However, I do wish they would go back to the bags that opened at the top instead of halfway down the side. The new bags are so hard to get the coffee out of. I even have a long handled scoop and it's so frustrating, especially when the coffee gets low because I can barely get the scoop down low enough to reach the coffee and the bag doesn't open wide enough to allow my fingers holding the scoop to go in far enough. This wasn't a problem with the bags that opened at the top. So....coffee, excellent; bags, not so much.

I lived in India for a little bit. I have never had chai that came close to what I had in India until now. The chai like everything else was amazing!!

Delicious high quality coffee and espresso. Non-dairy options. Coffee beans to go. Breakfast burritos too! I recommend taking home the burrito and heating yourself. Their panini press never seems to heat them all the way through.
