My husband and I are regulars at Big Ugly but I've never taken the opportunity to try Taxus Street until this week. I tried to come on Monday and quickly learned they were closed, so returned the following day. They operate inside the brewery and have a nice setup in the corner. There is lots of seating - bars and high tops - and it's a great spot for a morning gathering. There was a meeting in the upstairs loft happening during my visit. The barista who assisted me was working solo. She was super friendly and happy to answer my questions. I was glad to hear they offer decaf espresso. I opted to try one of their seasonal lattes - the Mounds Bar latte with almond milk, mocha and coconut cold foam. It took only a few minutes for my order to be prepared. I did find the drink to be slightly sweet for my taste and would ask for half sweet on my next visit. For the lactose intolerant, they have almond and oat milk options. They also have several pastries and some hot food options to choose from like overnight oats and breakfast burritos from Burrito Perdido. I was really pleased with my recent visit and I'll be happy to come back soon!

I love the space that Gather offers for meeting up for coffee, tea, and goodies. I typically love…read morean americano, but I don't love theirs. I do like their London Fog. Their regular pour coffee is also good. They are very friendly, but as it is very popular, it normally takes a while to receive your food/drinks. As for food, they have a lot of great options. My son loves their scones. I wouldn't recommend their avocado toast, as the avocado is packaged and not fresh. It doesn't have a nice flavor.

Once again our food was delicious and fresh! My friend really enjoyed her chicken salad sandwich. I…read moretried the salad my brother had last time and it was as good as it looked then. Delicious! I also like trying their unique flavors of iced coffees. You can sit in or outside. The staff were wonderful as always. Very helpful, informative, and friendly. In the area? Check Them Out!

Anxious to try out RoJo Coffee for breakfast and I'm so glad we stopped in this morning. This cozy…read morebreakfast and lunch spot is clean and quaint. There's barstool seating at the countertop facing the grill and a few chairs at a carved wooden tabletop facing the large window. RoJo Coffee also has some outdoor seating options under a large tree. The menu is very impressive with specialty lattes and teas, and energy drinks, too. The breakfast and lunch menu offers a variety that's sure to please everyone's taste buds. I truly enjoyed the Belgian Waffle that comes with their house made mixed berry compote and powdered sugar, along with pure maple syrup, and house whipped cream. I liked how the chilled compote, syrup, and whipped cream were served in separate containers so that I could dip! Nice touch! The Belgian Waffle was fluffy and tasty! I also enjoyed my choice of The Lola (White Snickerdoodle Latte) specialty latte with oak milk (extra charge) that features white mocha, cinnamon & vanilla. My husband really liked his order of the Breakfast Burrito with bacon, noting how tasty their house salsa was. His specialty latte was The Moose which is their honey roasted peanut latte (toasted marshmallow, peanut butter & honey). Our orders were taken by the mother of one of the owners. She was very friendly and pleasant, telling us to take our time looking over the menu. She pointed out the month of May specials, and you could tell how happy she was to support this small business. We're thankful to have such a wonderful breakfast and lunch option with specialty beverages on the south side of the Great Bridge Locks. IYKYK

The coffee was good, which makes this even more disappointing. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of…read morethe shop was a major issue. The environment didn't appear to be well maintained, and it made the experience feel unsanitary. What concerned me the most was watching an employee fill my boyfriend's iced coffee with tap water directly from the sink. That completely changed my confidence in how drinks are prepared. Good coffee is important, but cleanliness and proper food handling are just as important. I hope they address these issues because the coffee itself has a lot of potential.

I love supporting small local businesses and bonus points that it's a Puerto Rican Cafe…read more It's not a full service restaurant. It is a cafe. They have a selection of coffee options and 15-20 breakfast/brunch options to choose from on their menu. You order at the counter and they bring your items to your table. In addition to the regular menu they have a dessert case with a rotating variety of amazing desserts. We tried the carrot cake and the piña colada cake and both were EXCELLENT! (And I'm picky about carrot cake.) I saw they also have another display case for empanadas but they didn't have any in there on our visit. Another bonus is they have vegan chorizo on the menu which is a big win for my vegetarian husband. The servers were friendly and the atmosphere is a breath of fresh air. Latin music playing and clean airy decor. To sum things up... We will definitely be back!!

Plenty of parking in the area. There was a lot of seating inside. We got there at a good time and…read morethere wasn't a crowd. We ordered the flan latte, island breeze macchiato, and dulcet banana latte for our beverages. For food we got the quesito, pistachio muffin, survivor beach acai bowl, mango guava cheesecake, and lemon blueberry mascapone cake. I wish the specials had prices listed on them. $15 for the flan latte, expected flan on it for that price so was a bit disappointed that there wasn't any on it. The dulce banana didn't taste any banana as well. The food was delicious though. The quesito heated up was warm, flaky, sweet and salty all in one. The lemon blueberry mascapone cake was definitely a light summer bite. I'd stop by again but would ask how much the specialty drinks are before choosing. The staff was friendly and patient.

After braving the line at Klassic Doughnuts, we decided there was only one thing that could make…read morethem even better--coffee. So we wandered over to Pinup Coffee at Back Bay Farmhouse Brewery, and we're glad we did. I ordered the Salty Texan, a delicious take on the classic caramel macchiato. It was smooth, well-balanced, and just the right combination of sweet and salty. I would definitely order it again. The seating was comfortable, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it turned out to be much more than just a stop for coffee. We struck up a conversation with a wonderful mother and daughter visiting from Wisconsin. During our chat, the daughter shared that she was getting married later today. It was one of those unexpected moments that reminds you how enjoyable simple conversations with complete strangers can be. Great coffee, outstanding doughnuts, comfortable surroundings, and memorable conversation--it made for a wonderful morning. If you're visiting Back Bay Farmhouse Brewery, Pinup Coffee is well worth a stop.

I love their options of drinks an biscuits, I've especially been craving their bacon and cheddar biscuit since I've last had it, and it's nice to go to a cafe that dos things a little differently than the standard! One thing I also adore about this location is how they will host small markets on the lawn outside the house! One time me and my friend finished chatting and having coffee and we unknowingly walked outside to see a bunch of vendors that weren't there before! It was so fun to walk around and speak with everyone, they were all so sweet and I ended up buying multiple things unplanned! I will say it can be a tight squeeze between the doorway and the counter when ordering as the hallway is small and the line can grow rapidly. But if it's not cold outside or busy there then it's not really an issue at all! I'm sad that they aren't open past 1-2PM most days, but that's understandable given the business they run and thier location! Overall, I couldn't recommend tho place more for anyone wanting a new study spot or place to try out in general in VB!

The decor is super fun and definitely one of those spots where you end up taking more pictures than you planned. They serve just about every dessert you could crave: milkshakes, funnel cakes, waffles, coffee and ice cream.

The staff was hardworking and stayed busy the entire team, even though the shop itself was not very crowded when I went.
