Boomtown is always a reliable stop whenever I'm in the Heights, whether I am shopping nearby or…read morejust passing through. The place has a no frills coffee shop vibe that feels relaxed and focused on good coffee without trying too hard. They offer a wide variety of drinks and the visuals and descriptions make it easy to see exactly what you are getting and how each drink is made. I ordered a shakerato, which I think is my usual here, and it was light, smooth, and the perfect pick me up. My friends grabbed a few pastries and absolutely devoured them, so I guess I need to try the food options next time. Everything just feels straightforward and easy, which is part of why I keep coming back. I always catch myself eyeing the bags of coffee on the way in. They make great gifts or a nice at home treat, especially this time of year. Honestly, I should have grabbed one on the way out but I got distratced by conversation.

My beloved Boomtown RIP…read more This pains me to write. Different is certainly not always better, especially when what you had was already working. I much prefer the saying if it ain't broke don't fix it. To the people who bought this place, I know your motto is "different is better," but please stop taking that so literally. You do not have to change every aspect of this place to make it different. The best thing about getting your everyday local coffee is seeing the same baristas you've seen over and over again, familiar faces who know you by name. This was one of those places where I'd hate to admit how much money I've spent here, and I did it happily. In just three weeks, our beloved spot, one I would willingly drive out of my way for, has gone so far downhill that I barely recognize it. From the eyesore taco warmer that practically knocks you in the face while you're ordering, replacing a space that once showcased lovely things like fresh flowers and local trinkets, to the disappearance of the wonderful local treats from Sinfull Bakery that kids genuinely enjoyed. At first I thought maybe you were just out, but after three weeks it became clear that expenses were being cut across the board and those items may never come back. And where do I even begin. The new oat milk is terrible. It completely changes the look and taste of the coffee and is immediately noticeable. I won't harp on the change of hours or the change in flavor of your coffee beans, but I feel it must be mentioned because, well, it's noticeable. And now the cleanliness. Spilled taco sauce all over the floor, and when your kid points it out, you know you're in trouble at that point. Dishes piled so high they're overflowing, dirty restrooms. And to be clear, this isn't the staff's fault, there is simply not enough staff to keep up with these things. Never ever in seven years of being a frequent visitor has it been this bad. I also noticed the new coffee packaging, and it's just another reminder that the heart and thoughtfulness that once defined this place are gone. At this rate I half expect robots handing me my latte in a few weeks so you can save a few more bucks. And getting rid of Toast. Even if Toast was an expensive platform to use, it was legitimately so convenient. And dang, if you're going to do away with it, don't replace it with the worst possible ordering system ever, one that doesn't even work. Do you know how many orders I wouldn't have placed if it weren't for Toast? Toast made those orders possible when I didn't have time to wait. Without it, I simply wouldn't have ordered. I understand times are tough for many businesses, but you all were booming. The new online ordering system doesn't work. You may as well do away with it altogether because this one just isn't it. Honestly, I am devastated. You knocked it out of the park in every area, cleanliness, service, food. I never had a single bad item on the menu. The coffee was beyond. When my family moved out of the city a year and a half ago, I still drove 35 minutes one way just to get your food and coffee, over an hour round trip again and again. I don't think you understand how this new direction has driven this place into the ground in a matter of three weeks. Sadly all good things must come to an end.

Tenfold Coffee is what happens when an indie café decides to be genuinely cosmopolitan rather than…read moremerely pretend. Step inside and you'll find a wonderfully mixed crowd: tech people typing furiously, students contemplating existential dread over a flat white, fashion-forward creatives in boots so white they defy known urban physics -- and yes, that includes me. One corner of the room is charmingly not quite tidy, as if the café itself were whispering: "Relax. Real life happens here." Industrial ducts snake overhead, large windows flood the space with natural light, and sociability seems to circulate as freely as the air. Now, the coffee: a revelation. The espresso is concentrated civilization -- exactly as it should be -- and the cappuccino is an elegant balance of foam and depth, not one of those half-liter dairy-fatigue exercises from anonymous multi-national chains-that-shall-not-be-named. The staff? Friendly, knowledgeable, and disarmingly competent -- the sort of people who know precisely why this bean tastes like citrus and chocolate instead of simply shrugging at the universe. In sum: Tenfold isn't just a café; it's a microcosm of a city that thrives on difference. A place where everyone, no matter their background, finds caffeine, community, and a seat at the table. For all of that -- the atmosphere, the humanity, the coffee artistry -- five stars, unequivocally.

I usually enjoy ending with the last bit of crust, but although it was good, it just wasn't finish worthy for me. Just a little too dry. To be clear, it was the edge part that was dry, the layer below the quiche was perfect. Otherwise, I enjoyed it enough to order again. I appreciated the Spring Greens, dressed lightly, that was included (my preferred side with a quiche). I tried my daughter's OSC Sandwich (Whitehurst Farms Chickens, Orange Sesame Glaze, Tiger Tear Saw, Avocado, Jalapeno, Marinated Egg, Pickles, Fruit, Tallow Chips, Focaccia), it was great. Maybe better than the Tart, I would certainly order it for myself for lunch. I know the honey pie is a big hit, but for me it was too sweet (I KNOW, that doesn't seem possible, right?!). However, the Duffin (hope I spelled that right) - OH MY GOODNESS, it was the best marriage of donut and muffin I would not even have dreamed of, but so happy someone did. Yummy!!!!! Note: I really appreciate that this "Crap Free" (their words not mine) establishment doesn't use artificial colors or flavors, and supports local farms.

I had not been to Jun before, so when I pulled up and did not see "Third Place" on the building I was a little confused. They have a small sign out front, and I learned they repurpose the space in the mornings and during the day as a coffee shop. I love that concept. They also host food pop ups and feature different chefs. When we went last week they had a Szechuan pop up. We were there around 9 am so it was too early to try the food, but after reading reviews I definitely want to come back for it. We ordered an iced vanilla matcha and a hot latte, and both were amazing. The space has so much natural light and a really relaxing vibe. Even the cups and mugs are are so cute!! We ended up staying for a while, just talking and playing cards. I will absolutely be back!!

Quite the cute and comfy place!…read more I ordered both the pistachio baklava and the chai latte with oat milk. I was slightly disappointed with the baklava, it wasn't bad by any means but it lacked the sweetness and stickiness I've come to expect from arguably one of the tastiest pastries of all time. The pistachio flavor very much overpowered the baklava aspects of the dish, so I could see it being less of an issue with other flavors. The chai latte on the other hand was quite delectable, it had just the right amount of spice and the flavor was both rich and consistent through the entire drink. I was also really impressed by the presentation, both the drink and the dishware brought much joy to my soul. Will definitely be coming back here!

Today I finally made it in, and I was genuinely excited after reading all the Yelp reviews. It's a pretty small space. They do have parking, but spots are limited. I walked in and ordered an iced latte. Whenever I try a new coffee shop, I usually order a vanilla latte , it's my unofficial benchmark for comparing places. They don't offer sweeteners here, so I went without. That's totally fine, not every place does, but the way it was communicated felt dismissive. The person behind the counter wasn't exactly friendly and almost seemed to scoff at the request. My latte was $7, which I've come to accept as the going rate these days. I wasn't asked what size I wanted, so I assumed there was just one option. When my drink came out, it was SO tiny. All that for $7... and served with attitude? Goodness. I respect coffee culture, I really do, but this felt less "craft" and more pretentious. Unfortunately, they're doing it wrong.

For a non-asian coffee shop, this was a great matcha color-wise, and it was a beautiful sweet treat. I appreciated the little bits of nuts (forgot what kind) that came in a few sips. The Turkish Delight was a good option too, and you can taste the hints of rose that usually get lost in some drinks if not done right. I've also tried the Golden Harvest - which is a sweet corn latte - from their seasonal menu as well and it was good! I have not tried their food items, hemp drinks, or cocktails before, but by the quality and presentation of what I have tasted I'm sure they're good as well. This place is great if you're looking for a casual, late night work/study sesh and there's plenty of seating. I wouldn't recommend for groups larger than 4 though. Parking is the only con since they have limited, tight spots.
