Please note that I am giving Conwell Hall 5 stars because of the extremely unique location and…read moredecor. It's worth the stars for that. Otherwise, it's another coffee place. :) That being said, the building and the interior are worthy of your time to stop in, especially if you are looking for a coffee and, like me, do not want to go to just another Starbucks or other typical coffee place. It's an old bank and they kept that esthetic, from the lobby and teller stations to the bank vault in the back. The prices here are very similar to other coffee places yet you are getting a completely different and elevated experience. :)

The decor and ambiance here is really worth a stop by. The entrance does say #20 on the revolving…read moredoor even though the address is #6 Hanover street, so you can walk by it the first time without realizing. Even when busy, it is fairly quiet so easy for a coffee chat or there were plenty of people also doing work. Most tables are two-seaters or high tops so pretty narrow. The coffees were ok, particularly for the price. There is an upcharge for every single thing. If you want your drink iced, that's 50 cents more. Add a flavoring, that's $1.50 for each one. For one "sugar and spice" seasonal latte (which just taste like pumpkin spice) and an iced vanilla latte (originally $6.50) the total came to $24 for two iced coffees. It's a nice treat out but not going to be a regular stop for the cost.

Stopped by Daily Provisions to order breakfast on a Wednesday morning. There's seating indoors…read more(with low back stools) and seating out front (about four tables). I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

I'm not gonna say anything about the wait time because it was really crowded and I'm sure it's not like this on the daily basis. The drinks were good, so that's really all you have to know. The interior was very cute. They decorated it for the event, but even without it it was a small New York style coffee shop. Definitely good vibes. Also, it was very large and had a lot of seating so if you wanted to go and have a little seat and enjoy yourself, you'll have more than enough room plus there was tons of outdoor seating and if the weather is nice, it's beautiful to sit outside.

I was especially excited to try the special matcha panna, but by the time we arrived, almost everything served by the scoop, including the Matcha panna, had sold out. It would really help to have clear signage somewhere before customers join the line showing what's still available. Once you reach the counter, sold-out items were only marked sold out on the regular menu, with stickers over them, so it was hard to know what to expect. I'm used to New York's brisk, no-frills service, but this felt worse than that. The staff came across as genuinely unwelcoming and our overall impression was that the focus was on getting people to order and move along as quickly as possible. The ice cream is exceptional, but the availability information and customer service could be much better. It will always get five stars for an exceptional hard product.

The only redeeming part is that there's plenty of seating and a bathroom. Won't be back.

The whole space is surrounded by books! Heaven! We ordered a chai, matcha and a ginger cookie. Shout out to the woman taking my order for comping me my drink for my birthday! Everyone from the staff was friendly - I really enjoyed being there. The only thing I would say is someone should come by to check on the tables more often as I had to return other people's abandoned drinks. But you know what first world problems, am I right? Maybe they can have a sign or mention to customers to return their own cups before leaving. I sort of can't imagine why people don't... It is quite popular spot so you need to be very patient and strategic if you want to grab a table, as well as sprinkled with a little bit of luck. We unfortunately got there a little late. I went there at 3pm and hunted for a table and my friend got there by 330pm. By the time we ordered and started drinking our coffees - we were informed the lounge area will be closed at 4pm to prepare for the evening wine bar. Oh right this cafe turns into a wine bar in the evenings! How cool! At 4pm we thankfully grabbed one of the high tables - sharing it with another couple but it was large enough for the 4 of us. The lights dimmed and the atmosphere changed to more intimate. We unfortunately had to leave at 5pm, but I imagined picking up a James Baldwin book, ordering some white wine and enjoying both.... Mmm definitely next time. Maybe sometimes after work - sounds like a great wind down.

Upon arrival, we were greeted at the counter to sit at any table inside or out and a server will help us. The inside is quaint with ample tables and chairs, with display of a commercial professional espresso machine and display of some of their pastries. Decided on outside, we found a table with two chairs and waited for service. Very quickly a young woman greeted us and while we looked at the menu, brought us water with lemon at our request. We end up ordering first two sandwiches, one with prosciutto and the other caprese. We waited to order our coffee drinks and parties afterwards. The sandwiches came quickly and to our surprise the sandwich was warmed which my preference and both were served on ciabatta-like buns that's had textures of foccacia. We loved both sandwiches. We then ordered the Italian donuts with Nutella and the cookies horn with light lemon crème as well as a cortado and latte. Pastries were also warmed and overall satisfied with our choices. I would come back here as I'm in the neighborhood often. Great place to meet a friend with reasonable prices and quality food.
