Verena Street Shot Tower Espresso: Verena Street Coffee was founded in late 2010 and provides their…read morecoffee to 800+ stores in the Midwest. They roast, blend, and package their coffee in Dubuque, Iowa. Their name derives from a street in Iowa that contained only five houses comprised of the founder's family. In the early 2000s the street was annihilated to make room for highway expansion, but the name lives on in the coffee. For my first review from their brand, I went with a whole bean bag of their Shot Tower Espresso blend. The company describes that blend as having a " smooth yet sharp character with no bitterness. The delicately dark roast level results in a taste and aroma that is full-bodied with a sweet and creamy complexity." Beans for their signature espresso blend are selected from Central America, South America and Indonesia in order for a unique and nuanced flavor profile. I found this particular roast to not only be delicious, but one of my new favorites. I'll be on the lookout for more of their blends at my local grocer. Doughboy approved Doughboy _Food_Reviews *I brew my coffee using 8oz of water to 2 Tbsp of grounds, adding 1 packet of Splenda and 1.5oz of unsweetened vanilla almond milk or skim milk

5/5 stares for my online ordering experience and customer service…read more I placed an order on Cyber Monday, figuring I would take advantage of the 40% off on ground coffees. Picked out what I wanted and ordered online...only to find out that my in-laws don't really use ground coffee, but single-serve instead. Agh! Once I found out this very-important-information, it was an 1.5 hours after placing my order. I emailed customer services asking about how I could change my order from ground coffee to single-serve. Eric immediately wrote me back and explained that it would be easier to cancel my order, then I could reorder what I did want, as they use a 3rd party credit card processor. I was instantly refund the $ I spent on my original order, so I turned around and bought the single-serve coffee instead. Less than 48 hours after placing my online order my in-laws received their coffee in the Chicago suburbs - super fast delivery. They were thrilled, and I can't say enough good things about Verena Street's products and their customer service. Would love to see them expand their single-serve coffee flavors in the future. The ability to choose a shipping date (especially for the holiday season) would be a nice option, too. Highly recommend.

It has a cool vibe about it which might have something to do with the Christmas lights around the counter area. I'm also really digging the oldies music. *Sugar. oh honey honey. you are my candy girl* I got a dirty chai tea latte and it's pretty good. I can't speak to the quality of the sandwiches but the tortilla soup was very good. Overall, I'd say the relaxed vibe of the place, the location and this yummy latte means I will be back next time I'm in town :)

It would definitely qualify this place as a sandwich shop that serves coffee rather than a coffee shop with food. Their menu is pretty extensive and included a lot of different sandwich options. In addition, there were plenty of soups as well as some beer options. It's nice to have options for what to eat and drink! There's a good amount of seating, with plentiful outlets throughout the place. Options range from booths to counter height tables with tall chairs in the back and along the side. Parking was a little bit tough as they only have street parking available, but it didn't seem like people had too much trouble with it. I deduced that the place is actually situated on the ground floor of an office complex or something as people kept walking through and coming out in business attire. Seem like it was a good meeting place and then people would go about their merry way, or up to the aforementioned offices. Overall it seemed like a good spot to come and grab some coffee or some lunch, or to get some work done. The place was comfortable, the internet's free and the ambiance is what you'd expect from a fairly well-established coffee shop. Plus, the name is quite hilarious! A Blue strawberry, how ruthlessly absurd :-). Well worth checking out, with the only downside being that you have to pay for street parking. #firstworldproblems

The coffee was awesome and I returned the next day. Thos time I got breakfast. The bacon grilled cheese was slightly disappointing. Only two small strips of bacon on this lovely sandwich. I didn't even taste the bacon and had to disassemble the sandwich to confirm that they even put bacon. I'll be back for coffee but not sure if I'll be ordering anything to eat. The dinning area is kind of noisy but the decor is great. There's only one cozy seating area and the rest are tables and hard back chairs. Staff was friendly and helpful

This breakfast sandwich was delicious! Full of flavor and the croissant was perfectly buttery and flaky. Rating = 9.2/10). Iced Vanilla Latte (Solid. Solid. Solid. Enjoyed that this latte wasn't overly sweet to the point where it drowns out the espresso flavor. It wasn't the best I've had, but it definitely got the job done this morning. Rating = 7.9/10). Service: The employees I interacted with and observed while I spent the morning working in the shop seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs. Everyone was polite and were chatting with the regulars as they came in and out. Ambiance: The physical space had all sorts of room for people like myself who were there looking for a place to be productive. From bar seating, high tops, tables, couches, and comfy chairs - this place can accommodate all sorts of patrons. As a bonus, I had the pleasure of sitting right next to the roaster while they were actively roasting beans for most of the morning! Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better place to serve as my office for the morning. A well deserved 5/5 rating!
