It is a very small coffee shop with extra seating in a bigger room that is from the brewery, not a cozy area to do work in though. Staff: friendly Coffee/tea: nice selection, snacks are brought in from an outside vendor Overall: if you're looking for a quick pit stop this place is perfect...if your looking for that cozy cafe' vibe I'd shop around

I had an iced coconut latte with a lime curd cold foam, and got my sister an iced bourbon vanilla oat milk latte, my niece an iced vanilla matcha latte with cold foam, and my mom a regular hot coffee. My sister liked her latte, my niece didn't comment on hers but drank it so I'm assuming she liked it. My latte was good, though it lacked the lime flavor in the cold foam. I also got the smoked maple corn muffin which was a little dry but the smoky maple flavor was good. I would like to come back for the brewery!

It's a really cozy vibe, and I can only imagine watching the snow in the winter come down as you're sitting looking out the window! The 2 employees that were working were very friendly. The gentleman on the bar was very helpful with questions we had. All of their syrups are house made, which i absolutely love. With that said, I ordered myself their pumpkin latte, and paired it with a chocolate croissant. The flavor wasn't overwhelming, nor was it overly sweet. Just perfection! The aroma was out of this world! I wish I could bottle it up and keep it with me all Fall! The only downfall is that it was a 40-minute drive from home, but it just means we plan ahead and make it a nice date day in the future!

Still good coffee, but not as great as before…read more I go to this specific coffee shop quite a bit. They do a good coffee, and they got a reasonable selection of baked goods. I'm removing a star because the standards seem to be slipping a bit. They switched their bakery and although recently they've been experimenting with their in house baking there's a notable difference between what they outsource and what they make in house. The in house stuff is significantly better in terms of quality and freshness, and although priced high they are usually worth the price. The outsourced items don't seem as fresh and it's hard to justify the prices. The coffee is still balanced between the earthy coffee and the house made flavors for their lattes. The experience has been a bit colder as of late, which is fine if you're grabbing a cup to go, but not if you intend to write some reviews while enjoying a cup. That coupled with the multiple times there's been equipment failures which forced me to go someplace else. I honestly cannot state this is worth the trek to try only because there's a chance you can't get coffee at the cafe. I think it's time for myself to trek for another place. For those who want a good cup of coffee, this place is still good for that. Focus on the house-made stuff, order to go, and enjoy.

Since it was a busy morning the online order feature is super handy to save time but if you have time, the atmosphere in the cafe is inviting and love how they serve drinks and food on real dinnerware (coffee tastes better in a ceramic mug than cardboard cup wouldn't you say?). Everything was delicious and can see myself stopping for a flavored latte again some time. Bonus! They sell cute gifts and other (local?) items from stationary to kitchen accessories and handmade jewelry. Wish I had more time to look through the items but my wallet thanks me haha.

We got the iced pumpkin spice latte that just tasted like watered down coffee with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Barely any milk, too. The iced caramel latte also wasn't good at all and was very watery.

I was tempted to get the very tasty coffee cocktail Pawsh Spice, but decided to try something else off their summer menu. Beary, Well Shaken is an invigorating blend of berry iced tea, fresh lemon juice and sparking water. This sounds very basic, and it's caffeine free, but it's so energizing and truly refreshing, it felt like it's caffeinated. My mom loves their capuccino. It's creamy, rich and delightful. I'm so glad Alvarium Roasting is now at Gastro Park.

This is an updated review based upon my first visit to Krafted's new location in the same building…read more I suggested their old location wouldn't win any beauty contests. Well now, they're Miss Freakin' America. The space is gorgeous. And they aced the talent competition too. I almost exclusively drink iced coffee, and I don't always love Iced Americanos. But here, they were up front about the fact that it would be an Iced Americano, when some places are sneaky about it. I appreciate that. I also liked that they offered three single origins as options. I went with the Papua New Guinea. It was great. Krafted is serious about coffee. Now they have a serious location too. 5 Stars

Sacred Grounds is a wonderful, wonderful coffee roaster with coffee and light snacks for takeout,…read more"hidden" (but not really) right in the middle of our one-stoplight town. Yelper Don F. finally gave me the extra nudge I needed to stop in... and now I'm seriously mad at myself for not trying Sacred Grounds sooner. All coffee sold here is organic and fair trade, roasted with a light hand to minimize bitterness and maximize the nutty / fruity notes. To channel my favorite Top Chef contestant of all time, Carla Hall, this coffee tastes like it's roasted with love! I can't say enough nice things about the owner, John Rich, who works the COVID-safe takeout window and has evidently donated coffee for Sherman School SPTO meetings for years. He's kind, friendly, low-key and welcoming. (Nice profile here: https://candlewoodlakemagazine.com/2016/02/22/sacred-grounds-coffee-roasters-brewing-up-a-successful-business-that-rocks/) Sacred Grounds is conveniently located right across the street from school, next to the Painted Lemon (though in this town, what isn't? ;). It feels like a wonderful mini vacation to drop the kids off, get my beautifully made cup of drip coffee served in an environmentally friendly-ish paper cup (post pandemic, I wonder if I could bring my own mug?), and drive somewhere for a nice morning hike, coffee in hand, before commuting back to my "office" (guest bedroom). Two human kids and one pup in, I'm no longer a coffee snob. (At 5 a.m. after two hours of sleep, sometimes instant coffee is just how ya gotta roll.) But even I can appreciate the quality of the roasting here, and recognize that I have to give it the time it deserves to properly enjoy it.
