    Taken from entrance: the shop.  The white area in the back is where the roaster is.  Beans roasted on site (I believe.)

    Zach Leonard started roasting coffee beans in his garage (I believe) and soon word got out that his beans were so good --demand helped him open up this shop in Johnstown. Its easy to find, lots of street/public parking near by. A black awning that hangs outside his shop has LCRC on one corner and "coffee and roastery" on the other... but oh, so much more is inside... Once you push through the door you are welcomed with the smell of fresh coffee, a sincere smile and a friendly hello from this roaster. The inside has the buildings original planked floors. There is a vast amount of seating from the front to the back. Along the walls he features painting by local artists which also can be purchased at his shop. There is a swag station where you can buy his beans and also purchase locally made products like candles, etc. The coffee... one of my favorites. It just so well balanced and not bitter. His prices! Omg, probably the best of all the coffee shops Ive been too. He has plenty of baked goods that pair wonderfully with his coffees. The only thing I could wish for there is... scones. Lots of muffins, cookies, pastries, but no scones. Oh well... its hard to be perfect... and even without the scones, he pretty much is nailing the coffee roasting experience, imo. And thankfully he is sharing it with all of us. This coffee is worth driving to and trying.

    I stopped in today on a road trip and tried a hot mocha. It was delicious- not too sweet and the coffee beans are freshly roasted on site. The owner was very outgoing, welcoming, and polite. This coffee shop has a laid-back friendly vibe with plenty of open seating, tasteful art on the walls, fresh flowers at the register, locally made candles and other gift items are also available. I loved the hardwood floors and the overall ambience of the shop. I'll definitely stop again on my way through town.

    The best little coffee spot! The customer service is unbeatable; you're always greeted with a hello and a smile & dismissed with a sincere thank you. There are so many delicious home baked goodies, great bagels and breakfast sandwiches available! For the most important part- the coffee is hands down one of the best coffee bean flavors I've ever had. Every drink is so well balanced- flavors of sweetness, bitterness, and acidity work together harmoniously and you're always left with the BEST nutty aftertaste. It's truly a top notch coffee shop

    This is what they mean when they say "hidden gem"! We make it a habit to try local coffee shops when we are traveling, and this exceeded all expectations. The decor may be simplistic, but the drinks and breakfast sandwiches most certainly are not! We had a delicious iced latte with the perfect ratio of coffee to flavor to milk, and a hot americano that was also expertly prepared. There is nothing worse than a coffee with zero sweetness, except in fact for a coffee that tastes like they forgot the espresso! This place nailed the flavor profile expertly. The breakfast sandwiches to go also were far better than anticipated. While the egg is likely pre-cooked, the (homemade?) sourdough bread and panini press more than made up for it. We wanted to try a new spot for our second morning in town, but this one will be hard to beat! Not to mention that the staff were extremely polite and friendly, and the prices were fair. Couldn't ask for more!

    Great coffee and even better prices! Enviorment is nice and quiet. It gives you an old school vibe and the owner, Zach, is amazing!

My 6 year old and I were riding bicycles through Alexandria (I have lived in Alexandria for 21 years) and stopped at "The Coffee Vault". We bought one cookie for the 6 year old and asked for 2 glasses of water. Was told the water was $1.00 a glass (no free water). When I received my bill it was $1.25 per glass for the water and $7.00 for the single cookie! The bill total was $10.18 ! When the water up charge was brought to the cashier's attention (she charged us for 24 oz. of water instead of 16oz.) she gave us back 50 cents in cash. There was a non-friendly and non-helpful vibe coming from her and I did feel that there should be a charge for water, especially since we bought a $7.00 cookie. $10.18 for one cookie and 2 glasses of water is ridiculous. The cookie was plastic sealed and literally non edible by a 6 year old or myself. We ate at the previous coffee shop called "Ragamuffins" frequently before it was sold to "The coffee vault". Ragamuffins prices were always priced competitively and fair, their food was excellent, their staff friendly and "small townish". So sad that coffee vault moved into Alexandria. I do not usually review restaurants but everything about this restaurant was disappointing.

All tables were full. There is nothing that is worse in service than making people not feel welcome when you walk into an establishment. I don't need much. A hello, an acknowledgement, a welcome, sorry we'll be with you shortly....None of that. We stood awkwardly at the front of the restaurant half inside the doorway behind another family. The other family nor our family were not acknowledge for about 15 minutes. I tried to make eye contact and kind of nod at some of the wait staff and people behind the counter to make sure they understood we would like a table, but they flat-out ignored us. As if we didn't exist and they didn't want us there. It was kind of sad, really. The other family that was waiting eventually left after a while of realizing we may not be seated and we were not welcome. After about those 15 minutes, three tables of people finished at the same time. The waitress came over and said we could sit in a booth wherever. Yes, kind of like that. Sit wherever. It was clear they didn't want us there. We were inconveniencing them. Getting our waters and ordering our food was fairly straightforward, but the same vibes: not friendly nor welcoming. We waited longer at the table than I would've expected for waters and ordering, considering we'd now spent 30 min in the building and had hardly been acknowledged, but she did take our order. It was after 11am, so no breakfast options. Hmm, okay I get it I guess. That's fairly common for a diner. My only option as a vegetarian is a grilled cheese and french fries (pictured, after eating half the sandwich, about 12 french fries were included). It tasted good, but it was tiny. It was a kids'-sized portion. I was unsure of how a grown man was supposed to call this a meal. It was cheap enough, but I would've paid a couple more bucks for a larger portion, maybe a full side of french fries? All else was fine. The mood/vibe never changed. We weren't checked on, until we waved her over for more water and our bill. We paid our bill at the counter. I don't think I have high expectations. I just want them to...be okay with us being there? Provide service? (I always leave a tip, but I'm not sure what I was tipping for...) It's no excuse, but maybe they thought we were out of towners? I've lived here for 15 years, but it was definitely giving "you're not our people" type of vibes.
