Apocalypse Coffee Roasters is one of my favorite coffee shops in Melbourne! The atmosphere is…read moreawesome, and it has such a unique personality that makes it a fun place to hang out. The drinks are excellent, and you can tell they put a lot of care and creativity into what they make. I especially enjoy trying their monthly specials, particularly the cold brews. Some can be a little heavy on the sweetness, but they're still fun to try and make each visit a little different. Their regular drip coffee is also really good! It's also a great spot to bring your laptop and get some work done, catch up with friends, or even strike up a friendly conversation with someone new. It has a welcoming, laid-back vibe that makes you want to stay awhile rather than just grab your coffee and leave. Another cool feature is the little boutique in the back, which has a fun selection of merchandise. Some items are a bit pricey for my taste, but I love that they offer something different and add to the shop's overall character. Overall, this is such a unique, creative, and enjoyable local coffee spot. Between the quality drinks, monthly specials, great atmosphere, and friendly vibe, it's easy to see why it's one of my favorites. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Melbourne!

When I first passed by this storefront, I saw it was a new spot in this old strip mall. I was…read moreimmediately drawn by the distinct, differentiated, unusual, unique, and irreverent nature of the branding and signage of this establishment. Finally getting to visit for the first time yesterday, I was struck by how full it was during an off-hour weekday and how the storefront's design carried potently into the interior decor. They've clearly fostered a welcoming atmosphere that's a prime example of a 3rd space, whose staff were competent and the prime example of this welcomeness (Y'all deserve a raise!). They had such a wide-ranging and diverse menu with creative and punny names. My Bonfire Cappuccino was tasty, but the real knockout was the avocado toast, something I don't usually order. My only criticism really is that the facility is marooned within a strip mall constricted by a vehicular parking lot from the main street that contributes to detrimental automotive-focused suburban design - especially by its impervious paving and vehicular circulatory areas and parking in what could have been an interconnected, denser, walkable, multi-modal environment in Hammock Landing - a neighborhood that would benefit from having this establishment have outdoor seating in such. All-in-all, it's not a conspiracy that this is a venue worth patronizing.

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more In Brevard County, there are a small contingent of independent coffee roasteries that have made a name for themselves on the Space Coast. Three of them, however, have attained more traction for being featured in the Florida Cafe Passport, a passport-like booklet featuring the best of the best food and drink establishments in the U.S. For this review, I wanted to highlight Bold Cup Coffee Roasters as one of the three. I will stress I decided to add some traction for their "newer" location because 1.) it doesn't have as much of the foot traffic as its initial location and 2.) I actually partake in the second location more for being closer to home. With that in mind, I can only review and compare Bold Cup Coffee Roasters (which I will shorthand simply to Bold Cup for the rest of this review) to other coffee places and to other independent coffee shops/roasteries/etc. Ergo, Bold Cup's Babcock St. location is okay, as in it is changing and improving from its initial run solely as a roastery to actualy being their second location. With that in mind, you will not get the service, availability, and selection as the original Bold Cup location, but they know that as they continue to improve. As a matter of fact, they made it known the process can be a bit on the slow side given the responsibilities needed for this location, only Alex - the owner/operator of Bold Cup - is so far the only one operating at this location. Though an address is provided, Bold Cup is located in the Nasa Plaza, the same plaza that also has Arcade Monsters Melbourne, Twin Rivers Vintage, and Radial. Bold Cup is the size of most of the smaller strip mall stores, big enough for a small crowd. Before walking up, know Bold Cup is only open on weekdays in the morning. Upon entering, there is a seating area and an ordering area with all the coffee roasting equipment in view, but Alex is renovating and improving the location slowly but surely. There are no real food selections, so take that into account if you are expecting a "complete breakfast" for your morning meal. However, the coffee selections Bold Cup does have are pretty good. I suggest the tres leches latter, a latte-style coffee sweatened with the "three milks" used in tres leches cakes. NOTE: For those who don't know the "tres leches" are evaporated milk, condensed milk, and whole milk (sometimes substituted with cream). Prices for the coffee selections are a bit on the high end compared to the chain coffee shops like Starbucks or 7 Brew, but since all the coffee is made from scratch and with that mom n' pop heart, it makes sense. And to be frank, the price is actually LOWER than others mom n' pop coffee shops, especially the tres leches latte. That one is a steal. Ultimately, I have to be fair in my review despite knowing Alex. Given its current condition but its potential to grow, I am giving the place three out of five stars as in a-okay but not bloody excellent. As time goes by, I am sure Alex will update this Bold Cup location to recieive a four star rating. And if they are consistent in the care and niceness Alex showed during my intitial visit, I will definitely grant the final star for consistency, at least when it comes to "the people" a.k.a. Alex.

The ambiance was very inviting and the customer service from the sweet young lady in the front was an absolute 10/10. I ordered a latte with oat milk and a chocolate and plain croissant. Let me start off with the latte, I have never had such great tasting and authentic coffee in my life. Hands down, the best coffee drink, ever. Next, I bit into the chocolate croissant and I closed my eyes on the first bite to indulge in the soft, buttery sweetness of the croissant. It was so good that I went to order another one. If you have not been to Tribe Coffee, do yourself a favor and go IMMEDIATELY!!!! Trust me, you will not regret it. This will be my go to establishment from this day forward.

Both flavors are well balanced, very satisfying. But even better... the Honey Pumpkin Crème Brûlée. This is unlike any other pumpkin latte I've had. Most taste to me either chemically or too sweet, but this was reminiscent of a homemade pie. The creme brûlée brought a sweet touch, and it had a slight fall spice to it. Ordered this as iced and couldn't imagine it any better. These lattes are more than a rival to Starbucks. Don't know why I put off visiting here so long. I've been here twice now and the ladies were always sweet. The shop also hosts art and sells cute merchandise for an office desk! Plenty of seating and chill place to hang.

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more For me, Historic Downtown Melbourne has become one of my most-visited hubs for socialization, especially in south Brevard County. Thanks to the brilliant people at DTMB or Melbourne Main Street, the area has been improving. I definitely like the new businesses coming in, taking a slice of history in their own sake. Once such place is Villon Coffee. Originally, a "food truck" as the are more of a coffee truck, Villon Coffee (which I will shorthand simply to Villon for the remainder of the review) has expanded to the point they now have two brick-and-mortal locations. The one I like to frequent is, of course, Historic Downtown Melbourne. Now to be fair, they are an a-okay coffee shop, but mostly because of how management runs it more so than the vibe and staff. The vibe and staff: excellent! Definitely have a lot of good things to say about Ally. However, how management (whom I never seen onsite whatsoever) runs the location, is no bueno! Though an address is given, Villon is located on the southside of New Haven Ave. that runs though Historic Downtown Melbourne. If it helps, they are more on the eastside of the town stretch just west of the train tracks. Villon is a smallish location consisting of a main serving room and a "waiting" room that showcases their wares for sale. The waiting room also has an island table and couch, which works well as board games (though most of them are incomplete) are available for guests. The pinball machine, Godzilla, requires 50 cents to play. The main serving floor has bar seating along the storefront window, serving counter, and the side window. As for decor, a lot of yellow, black, and greys in modern art triangles and flowers that highlight their color scheme. Also, the restroom is gender neutral, which is fine as it is a single-person restroom. Usually clean and stocked, but not the best looking restroom. Ever seen a grungy warehouse look in a restroom but was still clean? That's what Villon here has. This is where things are critical. For some reason, management usually has only one person on staff. Now to be fair, most of the day only needs one person, but during rushes, you'll end up waiting. This is not a food truck which is understandable why there is a wait, but an actual brick-and-mortar restaurant. And given its small size and menu, you'd think they would be able to keep rotation on goods up to par. There have been times I came in in which Ally has said they don't have something or another. This goes for their food which I am unsure is either premade or storebought. Needless to say, they don't have the space to cook anything from scratch, so everything is "heat and ready to serve." There is a couple of coolers with bagels, and oatmeal bites ready to eat, though. But the food that really stands out is the wares made by Chef & Summers. They are delicious, but sometimes, they can be sold out. Villon is also quite innovative in their drinks, more so than any other coffee shop I can think of locally. Ergo, they get the hit-or-miss judgment a tad bit more, but because they are being bold more so than being either good or bad. Overall, Villon, as mentioned earlier, is an a-okay place. The staff does the best they can with what they have and what they are given. But I guarantee you they'd be better with more management support. Since I have visited this place numerous times prior to my initial review, I can definitely give Villon a solid three out of five stars with the aforementioned points above. If management helps improve this location, then maybe, just maybe, I will give them a fair shake and update my review. Until then, good place to stop by if you are in the area and you just need a stop to go to, but definitely better coffee shop options out there. My suggestion: The Sun Shoppe at the west end of Historic Downtown Melbourne or Apocalpyse Coffee Roasters heading north on Babcock St. right at the intersection with US-1.

Pricing is reasonable and they have these muffins that was pretty much the same price as my drink but they are big enough to share. Service was quick and the staff friendly.
