The espresso was perfect and hit the spot (I needed all the caffeine for my drive home), and the latte was really good. It tasted just like pumpkin pie, but was slightly on the sweeter side. I would have probably asked for a little less sweetener, but that's just my taste. It's also very nice inside with lots of seating. I didn't try any pastries this time, but they look delicious.

I definitely noticed the caramel, but it could have had more salt. I'd recommend a sprinkle of some sea salt or something next time.

I cannot sing the praises of this Fort Wayne coffee shop enough.

For starters, they make all of their non-dairy milks in house. The oat milk was fabulous! This also helps avoid all of the funky ingredients that are often added to these alternative milks. The staff was very friendly and the space was expansive with local artwork on display for sale, a variety of food items for purchase, coffee beans and a great coffee menu. I thoroughly enjoyed my lavender latte and we picked up some beans for the road. Overall it was a very positive experience and I will definitely be visiting the next time I am in the Fort Wayne area.

There are garden beds and planters everywhere, so you don't feel like it's in a strip mall at all. Parking was a bit weird since there were only a few spots out front but lots around other businesses. The coffee was good. The smores latte was the fall drink I tried and it was pretty sweet! Almost too sweet to drink a large one. My friends got americanos and they loved those and said the coffee flavor was great. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely come back!

There was a really nice flavor of sausage, instead of the flour base that most restaurants choose to use. The biscuits were an interesting choice and weren't bad, but that gravy was the entire reason for their being. At only $8, I will definitely be back to get more! The service was fine, considering the food is brought to you, but nothing more. The ambiance was very much a coffee shop's ambiance, which is a good thing. I look forward to being on this side of Fort Wayne again so I can chow down on more sausage gravy!!

Almost all the raving reviews mention the waffles here. Tried to order some (like I have regularly…read morefor years) and ended up feeling like I'd committed a crime. I felt yelled at bc the owner was so rude and acted mad that I was trying to order waffles at 10:15 am. He said he was sold out so I just ordered a drink. When I asked when would be a good time to get waffles next, he said, "I TOLD YOU!" No, you didn't. You said you were sold out. I didn't know at that time you only made a limited amount each day. After his, "I TOLD YOU," I probably looked confused. He then said he only makes one sheet a day. He went so far as to say they're a pain in his butt and he's semi retired anyway. OK. But all the pictures of the waffles that are used in advertising this place should be replaced with, "I don't really want customers so stay away." Because I will be from now on.

Spoke + Ivy (west Main Street, FW) - another locally unique dinning experience that deserves a try…read more Spoke + Ivy is located on west Main Street - across the parking lot from Redwood Inn restaurant, if that helps. This restaurant is set in an old building that used to house a pharmacy. It retains the character of the building via the hardwood interiors, tall ceilings, large window views of the street and concrete/industrial ceilings. The interior is nicely decorated with inviting green, brown wood and black accent colors. Table settings were very attractive as well. You can park in the small side lot or on the street. Reservations are easily made on line. The team is very friendly and welcoming. All set the stage for a fun and relaxing dinner experience. Spoke + Ivy has a very small food and specialty cocktail menu. This is the second time we have been here. Each time we found the food to be delicious and the cocktails are uniquely designed. Here is a run down on the food items we ordered: -Focaccia Bread: a mildly sweet, dense/firm bread, slightly airy with a touch of herbs to accent. It is cut into blocks so it is easier to share. The vodka sauce is thin in consistency with a smooth Italian seasoned tomato appeal. Both make for a deliciously simple starter. -Lobster Roll Rangoon: decided to give this a try. It comes out as one large Rangoon - not individual pieces. This means that you must awkwardly cut this shareable into pieces. The slightly crispy & oily wrapper is similar to most crab Rangoon pieces. It has a nice crisp. The inside has shredded pieces of lobster. It was not filled with creme cheese sauce like traditional rangoons - just plain. The green lemon parsley sauce was simply outstanding! It's very fresh, moderately thick and has a slightly tart taste. This added "the sauce" to what the inside of the Rangoon was lacking. -Milanese: nicely breaded chicken that was very moist. The breading is slightly sweet. The fresh bed of arugula salad is a nice add -Prime Rib Pho: this sounded really interesting. It's a smaller/healthier dish. The medium rare prime rib was sliced thin and tender. There wasn't many pieces of prime rib in this dish. The add-ins were fresh and much like you would expect from a Pho dish - just not as much volume. The broth has a chili oil base that gives it a spicier flavor. Overall we really enjoy this relaxed atmosphere and character of the building. The delicious food and cocktails are excellent.

We were seated in a very awkward corner table for two where the tables were really close together. Since it was our Valentine's celebration, I would have been uncomfortable with the tables next to us having people at them because it didn't give you any privacy or space for private conversation. We did not get drinks or appetizers. Our meals were very good (salmon and chicken). The server was good but didn't refill my water and that' a big deal to me. Also, it's supposed to be an upscale place and they were out of paper towels in the bathroom. I feel like that is just basic service they should check on regularly.

Penny Drip was open at 8:30am (blasting incredible music btw), ready to go. I got a vanilla latte (for me) and a pistachio matcha (my partner).

Loved their vibe - will definitely visit again when we're back in FW. Will need to try their vegan breakfast sandwich!

The environment has a slightly industrial feel with just a hint of coziness, which gives it a modern but still comfortable vibe. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel. It was alright -- nothing special, but given the size and volume of the place, I don't necessarily expect everything to be made completely fresh to order. It did the job. The service was also just alright. My interaction with the barista/bartender was brief and unfortunately a bit stale. She wasn't rude, just not particularly warm or memorable. Overall, it's a convenient place with a lot of options, but the experience itself was pretty average.

But on the few occasions that I remember that iced coffee exists, I remember that I've forgotten that iced coffee is bangin'. The iced coffee at Conjure Coffee is great. I suppose you could put milk or creamer or sugar in it, but an iced black coffee is good on its own. It's good for your soul to thug it out sometimes, you feel me? Black coffee will put hair on your chest, as my dad says. Anyway, Conjure Coffee has lots of coffee drinks, as well as tea, and a very small selection of baked goods. There are lots of tables at which to sit, and this location also has a drive-thru, which is convenient. I learned later that there are two other Conjure Coffee locations elsewhere in Fort Wayne, including a small stall in Union Street Market. So this is a local spot that has branched out a bit, which is nice to see.

Pro tip on the nitro cold brew- I would ask for light or half ice next time because the barista almost filled the cup with ice (see picture). Other than that the coffee itself was delicious and the whipped cream on top was a nice addition. Also I noticed that a cappuccino option wasn't on the price board, but I asked and they do make them.
