Cool new coffee shop downtown and open late. Anyone who knows me, knows I love a regular place that stays open late. I loved the decor and vibe with the neon lights and plants. They have potted plants and starter plants in vases everywhere. Adorable. Clean, modern meets industrial interior design.
The seating options are vast and well placed. Some good for individuals, small groups, and large groups. Bar seating, table seating, couch seating, booth seating, it is all there.
The menu is pretty simple, but it works. We ordered affogato, a tumeric latte, and a hot cocoa.
The affogato was strong tasting and the espresso a little bitter. After being mixed in with the ice cream, much better. This combo was espresso, salted caramel, walnuts, and caramel syrup. It was alright!
Tumeric latte; not the worst thing I've ever had, but far from the best. I've also never had a tumeric latte, so it could have just been me. It tasted bitter and bland at the same time. Maybe too much milk? I dunno...
Hot cocoa; saving grace. I gave up on the tumeric latte and got a hot cocoa. It was a more bitter hot cocoa than most (not just straight up sugar) but I like hot cocoa that way.
Location, hours (open late = GREAT), and overall vibe is what pulls this place together. A couple of small things... Looks like they have some limited outlets to plug in your devices against the walls, but I think if they added more, it would be a great to get more college students and young professionals in. I also think the potted plants on the tables were slightly too large to carry on conversation and block the view of your group. The back room was a little drafty and too acoustic with multiple people in there.
Overall, 4/5 stars. This being their first day open to the public, I'm sure they'll refine their recipes, procedures, work out the kinks, etc. I'm excited to come back in the future. read more
