Ordered a beef burger with Chipotle sauce along with banana matcha, strawberry matcha, and a pb&j protein shake. The burger patty flavor was very good, seasoned with halal flavors but the patty itself is thin and patty to bun ratio could use a bit if improvement. The bun was larger than the patty. Loved the fries! The strawberry matcha had a slight sweetness from the strawberries which helped but it lacked the matcha flavor. The banana matcha lacked matcha flavor as well. But the pj&j protein shake was excellent. You had the option of whey proteinb or vegan protein. We went with whey protein. I would definitely return to try another shake. Plenty of parking and easy to get to. Service was fast and staff were very friendly.

After having my first peanut butter latte in Tucson that blew me away I was super excited to see a PB Banana latte here at Chapter 2. Unfortunately, the peanut butter was subtle and I think they forgot the ripe banana because I couldn't detect any. The espresso came through nicely though. We also got their almond crossiant. The cashier asked if I wanted it warmed up and I said yes. We waited and waited and by the time we were halfway done sipping our coffee, I had to go up to ask about it. The young girl actually gave me a straight face and acted like they didn't forget and when they served it to us it was not heated up. At that point I'm like why bother asking again. All-in-all it was okay. They do have a very exciting menu with interesting flavor combo lattes. Maybe I ordered the wrong drink? Probably won't return since I was not wowed on this first visit. Onto Chapter 3 of my coffee adventures...

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the menu features certified organic and fair-trade options, which makes you feel even better about your caffeine fix. I grabbed a cold brew and took it straight to the beach--perfectly bold and smooth, no bitterness, and just what I needed to kick off a summer morning. It held up beautifully even in the heat (and the sand!). Inside, the atmosphere is relaxed but curated. Old-school wood finishes, bikes hanging above the counter, and a chalkboard menu give it a local, lived-in feel without trying too hard. Whether you're grabbing beans to go or hanging around for a pour-over, this place nails it. Highly recommend making this a regular stop if you're in the area--or even worth a detour.

I know non-dairy milk is more expensive, but we go to a different coffee shop each weekend and we've never paid that much. Upon tasting our two different drinks, I don't know what the flavor was if it was the milk or the sauces that they use, but we just really did not like it and couldn't drink them.

First impressions: wow, this place is huge for a coffee shop. Black River roasts their own coffee beans in house, which is always nice and means you're getting some high quality caffeine. Seasonal flavors included pumpkin, bourbon maple, and apple cinnamon -- so you already know you're getting quality, since these aren't flavors you can get just anywhere. I loved the signage depicting staff favorite drink mixes as it adds a fun touch to the menu! Coffee was great, my only complaint is that with syrups the drink can get way too sweet (especially since I typically drink unsweetened coffee.) Make sure to ask for less syrup and you'll be good to go! Can't wait to return!
