I have been going to 17 Hands for years now. What I noticed today was how insanely expensive their coffee has become.
I always knew their baked goods were on the pricey side but they are also just about the best I have ever had so I figured it was worth it.
But $10 for a large oatmilk latte is crazy. My small iced shaken espresso was $9.40!
So while I definitely agree that they offer a greatly superior product, my income has priced me out of coming back...read full review
Russell, you made my morning with your rosemary focaccia bread!! See you soon :-)
Have always loved this place but prices have become exorbitant, unfortunately. I understand prices have gone up everywhere but $9.40 for a SMALL iced oatmilk latte seems extreme. I would recommend to folks who have a more disposable income than I do 😅
