This place is so great! I had a cinnamon roll latte and the Downtown breakfast taco! Both were fabulous. The atmosphere is great and the service excellent!

I had a good experience and the coffee is very good☕️
Great coffee! However note that this is a restaurant. You can order at the bar, but it's an actual restaurant to sit down.
Kind staff and great iced oat latte. Good to grab and go!
You can also sit outside, if the heat is OK.

My experience was disappointing after seeing the high rating. I ordered the carnitas tacos and a cold brew. The cold brew had a nice flavor and was a good amount for the price. However, the rice was dry and the meat was chewy.The metal seats at the bar slant forward (maybe to get customers to cycle quickly) so I was slipping off of the seat the whole time.When I asked for a to-go container, the bartender handed it to me and walked away. I thought that was an indicator to bring me the check. It took an obscene amount of time to even get my check and she walked away without taking my card. I was one of four people seated at the bar. I ended up tipping 50% on overpriced tacos because I just threw down whatever cash I had so I could leave for an event. I'm unsure if it would have even been noticed if I walked away without paying.The money, time, and comfort lost was pretty disappointing. However, I'm glad I was introduced to Greater Goods coffee.

We got here and the server seemed pretty swamped. Took a while to order coffee, then another wait to order food. Didn’t mind, seemed like they were short staffed. We waited patiently for a long time. But after an hour waiting on 4 tacos—even after the dining room had long since emptied out—we asked how much longer they expected the wait to be, and were told that there was a catering order and the server wasn’t sure how much longer the tacos would be—she said probably less than another 30 minutes. We asked for an update, but the server didn’t return with an answer and started serving new customers. They seemed totally unconcerned with the fact that we had been waiting and getting no information at all. We left more than an hour after we ordered without ever getting our food.

Best little hidden coffee gem I came across in a long time. Coffee is delicious, staff is friendly, and the atmosphere put me right into vacation mode. Haven’t had the food, so can’t say much about it.

Great tacos and even better lavender latte! Highly recommend
Excellent coffee, I stopped here after a bus ride so was a little frazzled from travel so was glad to find this!
Absolutely fantastic all around! The coffee drinks were incredible (Javarita was perfect!) And the breakfast tacos were awesome as well. Very friendly staff
Savanna and Genny always make the best latte to start my day off right! Heaven in a cup!!!
The breakfast tacos were good and their chai was great!Our barista was super friendly and even remembered us the next day. Would go again when I'm back in
