Had an amazing experience at Killerbrew Coffee inside the Thompson Hotel! Paul, the barista, was absolutely fantastic — quick, friendly, and made one of the best coffees I’ve had in a while. The service was spectacular and efficient. I’d definitely recommend everyone to stop by for their delicious coffee, fresh puffs, and pastries. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy great vibes with excellent service!

Not sure why this place has any good reviews tbh. The staff was so rude and the coffee was not good at all. Honestly Starbucks is better and I hate Starbucks. Def just save ur money or go somewhere else. Was also $10 for an iced coffee which was wild

My husband and I frequently visit killebrew for morning coffee and pastries as we live right down the street. I popped by solo while out on a dog walk the other day as it was raining and figured a tea would make my rainy walk home a bit better. When I came in (around 10 am) the sign was placed right in front of the register almost blocking it and no one was behind the counter. I double checked the hours to make sure I wasn’t losing it. I placed my tea order when 2 male employees did decide to appear. They seemed very confused by my black tea order (which I’ve gotten many times) and said it would “take a while.” I assured them I wasn’t in a rush due to the rain. I pulled out my phone and was informed that you guys don’t accept Apple Pay. The barista very bluntly told me that your establishment is card or cash only. It’s odd because both my husband and I have used Apple pay at this location before. While out on neighborhood walks, I rarely ever bring my wallet or cash with me. I’m confused as to why in 2025 Apple Pay isn’t accepted and when that switch was made? Even weirder is that the one barista said I could write down my card number and they could ring it up that way. I felt uncomfortable doing so. So you accept cards but not Apple Pay? Either way, I left feeling disappointed but stopped at the newer coffe shop inside Rooted where they greeted me warmly, gave my dog a treat, accepted Apple Pay and made a fantastic herbal tea within a minute. Rooted from here on out I guess!

The staff were very sweet, but unfortunately so was the “Silly Goose” coffee I ordered. It was undrinkable and I threw the whole thing away. I was a silly goose for ordering it!
The cold brew was not good and the cold foam was very weird. It clotted on top of the cold brew. We actually threw it away. The service was great and the people were very nice but I wouldn’t recommend

My friend and I got iced blackberry matchas, a cheddar, bacon, and chive scone, and a breakfast sandwich. My scone was great, but her sandwich was pretty greasy. Both of the matchas were bad enough that we threw them out before we had even had half. The matcha tasted pretty low quality, and I don't think the barista prepared it properly: it was full of clumps and tasted chalky. My friend also had to go up and ask for more blackberry, as neither of us could taste any originally. The barista was very nice about adding more syrup, though! Overall, there are better places. It wasn't horrible, but it was way too expensive for the quality we got.
