We picked up the vegan chocolate cookie and the chocolate banana cookie, and both were excellent! For drinks, we ordered the vanilla latte and the iced mocha. I really appreciated that they weren't loaded with sugar. The flavors were subtle and balanced, allowing the quality of the coffee to shine through instead of being masked by syrup. We didn't have enough time to try their breakfast, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked incredibly promising. Definitely a spot I'd come back to just to give the breakfast menu a proper try. If you're looking for a solid coffee shop with quality pastries and what looks like a great breakfast menu, 11th Hour Coffee is well worth a visit. The ambiance is relaxing filled with plants and the service was amazing as well!

If you're going to a Verve, definitely go to that one. This one's less busy and safe to say I understand why now... also matcha lovers beware!!! A small matcha with nondairy milk comes out to be an upwards of ten dollars and has zero matcha taste to it. It genuinely tasted like they poured milk in a cup and then added a drop of green food coloring to it. I recommend cat and cloud one street over! They're all super friendly there so the ambiance is a lot nicer

They use single origin light-medium roast beans at their coffee bar and sell bags for home, too. I only use their beans at home. Their quad-shot latte with whole milk is banger. Ps. If you're a pseudo coffee lover who is more interested in killing the coffee with burnt (dark roast) beans, pumps of vanilla or pumpkin syrups, etc, this is not your jam. This is the areas spot for just extremely good unadulterated espresso coffees, done right. No noobs.

We walked in as a family (me, husband, our baby) and while we were deciding what to order husband asked for the restroom code. The tall male employee looked us up and down and said so, you gonna buy some coffee? Husband said yes...why? The employee said "I just need to know if you're planning on buying something or just here to use the restroom . " Why would we come up to the counter , peruse the menu and bring the baby inside if that was our only goal? It was so off-putting. Anyhoo, the interior was nice all black and some sort of rock/ metal playing. There's magnetic tiles to Create your own conspiracy or statement and other conspiracy type decor . I got a 5G is killing our bees which was nice and smooth flavored espresso drink and husband tried the NZT 49 which he liked. but only thing is we regretted not trying a black cold brew or shot of espresso to really taste their coffee. Maybe next time. And hopefully next time that particular employee will chill out a little bit on their restroom. Might I add, this was my 2nd attempt to go to this location. The first time they were randomly closed at 1230pm. Wish they would at least post a heads-up online or something.
