Possibly my new favorite spot for a bagel?…read more The matcha was good - smooth and creamy. The flavor of their vanilla syrup isn't my favorite but it wasn't bad. I live for fun specialty matcha and while they did have one on the menu, the pine flavors weren't appealing to me. Surprisingly, the real star of the show was the bagel. Not the avocado spread that was on it, that just tasted like that overly acidic stuff you get in the little cups, but the bagel itself was amazing. It was chewy but not tough to chew. I loved its soft doughy texture. They also had some vegan treats available that i'd love to try next time. The matcha was good but not my top pick in GR but that bagel would definitely bring me back.

So I really dropped the ball with this review. I usually start with a bunch of photos, but I was…read moretoo preoccupied with taking in the charming ambiance, the veteran-created art pieces, the photos and stories all around honoring the legacy of the heroes who have served their nation, and getting to meet the interesting people inside. I realize the tiny structure is perfect for what this place is all about - honoring the stories each of us holds through connection and community. The coffee was smooth and flavorful, possibly the best drip coffee I've ever had (and I have had some really good coffee!) and I'm told by my wife that the chai was absolutely delightful. A small menu of drinks and treats may make this spot slip off of your radar - but you would be missing out on a magical little place that, as the name implies, truly has heart... and plenty of it.

Has Heart Coffee Shop celebrates veterans and their stories. Their goal is to make sure every vet never has to pay for coffee. Located directly across from the GR Children's Museum entrance in Veterans Memorial Park. Street parking (meters / MOTU App) if you can get in before the museum opens.

There are constantly free events to promote the space as a third space with no pressure to have to buy anything; however, the drinks and local art are well worth it!

I definitely suggest you stop by and even just hang out.

They don't play music way too loud like so many joints do and the employees are always pleasant. They sell a lot of local art and there is always something unique and fun to check-out. I almost always get one of their seasonal drinks because they are all amazing, but if I don't I get the Killer Queen. I have been there dozens of times and have NEVER had a drink that disappointed me. I love bringing friends there and it's always the first place I recommend when people wanna get coffee.

There's actually an entire bottom level that you can't see from the outside so if it looks full up front by the register, you still may be able to find a seat downstairs. The vibe is super cute and comfortable. They have a lot of nice spaces to hang out or get work done. The staff was very nice and I like the focus on community.

When you first walk in, you might be a little disappointed by the limited bar seating... but then you realize there's a whole other space downstairs! It feels like a coffee speakeasy which is such a cool vibe. the coffee was delicious! I got an almond milk cappuccino, and it tasted amazing. The beautiful design on top was an added bonus and made it almost too pretty to drink. The only thing I would add - once the coffee is ready that they run or down instead of us having to listen for them to should the coffee order. That would be a nice added touch ! can't wait to stop in again the next time I'm in town!

Service was great and the line moved quickly. I opted for a vanilla latte, and although I am not a very adventurous coffee drinker, most of the menu was sold out. I really wish I could have tried their prickly pear blend coffee. Just means I have to go back! The coffee is priced very reasonably and the shop is very cute. The outside is eye catching and very picturesque.

Overall, everything was solid. The Qishr was good, though I think it could have used a bit more kick. Aside from that, the coffee was excellent and the rest of what we tried did not disappoint. I also had an organic mango juice, which was fresh (even though it came in a bottle) and really enjoyable.

I would absolutely stop over there before or after going to one of those. There's ample parking and it's within the general area of the movie theater.

The staff was more than friendly and polite. They gave us some really helpful information and recommendations for drinks. We didn't end up eating any of the food but the honeycomb dessert looked incredible and my boss has said that the spinach pie is amazing. I really loved my strawberry matcha!
