I stopped by on a weekday afternoon and opted for the raspberry donut, which was incredibly fresh and tasty. It was quite busy on this weekday afternoon.

Not sure what else is available in the area.

The breakfast sandwich (with sausage) was good - the bun it was on was super soft and a mismatch for the structured sandwich. It ended up being hard to eat. The Roman sandwich was ok but had too much cheese. Our coffee (drip and an oatmilk latte) were good. It was busy on a Tuesday morning at 8:30, we were lucky to get a table for two.

We were foiled in our attempt to get coffee at The Dairy Center, but this spot was quite close. The shop is a bit crowded with lots of round tables and a small amount of counter seating facing the outside windows. There's a wall of bookshelves stocked with reading material. There's also some outside seating. The staff was friendly, but it seemed to take an extremely long time to make my girlfriend's latte. We were both tired and a bit cranky, so perhaps we were impatient. It actually took about six minutes to make that one drink, after checking my notes. Hmmm. I don't know what they do when they get busy. My girlfriend reported that her latte was fine, so I guess that's the conclusion. Pretty average.

They are usually pretty busy but on a Wed afternoon, it wasn't busy at all. We got the Swedish Svamptoast and a Cream of Mushroom soup. Best part? The soup had no dairy in it! Huge win for me. I destroyed the Swedish Svamptoast in seconds, as the flavors of earthiness, tangy/citrus and the creaminess from goat cheese couldn't have melted more perfectly together. Always a great experience here.

I live in NYC and dine out frequently, so I fully understand time limits and table management. That's not the issue. What was unacceptable was how it was handled. At the end of our meal, the manager, Patrick, abruptly dropped the bill and told us we had eight minutes to leave. We still had half a bottle of wine and hadn't even been offered a dessert menu. The tone was curt and dismissive, and it completely undercut what had been a great experience. There's a professional way to manage timing--this wasn't it.

The menu was a bit overwhelming, but the barista Evan (from MA so GO Pats) was friendly and patient despite the line. I got the 3 Waves coffee -- espresso with coconut, caramel, and macadamia-nut. Now my new favorite that will be impossible to replicate anywhere but here. Also grabbed the Aloha sandwich -- ham, egg, cheese w/ pineapple and BBQ sauce. Definitely unusual but it works. Outdoor seating w/ fireplace and view of the Flatirons was a nice bonus Fun fact: the name Bad Ass Coffee comes from the donkeys used to carry coffee beans down the steep hills of Hawaiian forests. Ecstatic about this because I happen to love donkeys. Overall I'm intrigued by Bad Ass Coffee. A++

This is the first shop to open outside the MOXY on the Hill on the plaza attached. It was a sunny, almost spring day and worth the walk for an afternoon treat. My standard for trying a new place to get a feel of their range, is a Cortado, decaf with oat milk. And always, some tasty looking pastry. This was a successful visit. The pastries are baked locally by Dry Storage and the orange cardamom scone was small and a great treat. Much better than humongous scones tend to be, as I think they bake more evenly. It was barely warmed so the frosting would soften and the interior soft and fresh, which enhances the flavors. The Cortado was fine too. Not quite the mellow decaf I have elsewhere every morning but nicely tempered by the oat milk. Some places use too much in their milk portion of the serving and I prefer the perfect balance of them as intended. It was nicely served on a small ceramic tray with a similar sized glass of sparkling water. Seems to be a trend these days in similar coffee shops. The decor is very modern and sleek. Lots of white and gray tile and marble surfaces with industrial duct work up high on the vaulted ceiling. There is also a good selection of teas for those that prefer. The pastry selection is still quite small and will be expanded when the need arises. The staff was helpful and getting to know their shop. I'm sure when they are more practiced and they develop a regular following, they will be able to pick up the pace behind the bar. There are some unusual seating areas which not everyone will be able to use as they require some climbing, like bleachers. I'm sure one. On fall football game days, they will fill up with agile young people and they will need far more baristas in place.
