I love Tinker Coffee and this spot is no exception to their overall brand. I love that they have…read moretaken an old building and re-purposed it but also calling it The Firehouse as a nod to its history. It is a bit challenging to find parking but there are a few spots in front. I parked down the street and walked which is always an option. There are a few stairs to get in but also a ramp, and the set up has a nice aisle like space for the line and plenty of tables and chairs. It can be quite loud so keep that in mind if you want a quieter reflection time, and maybe take it to go or sit outside. They have various food items but I absolutely LOVE their peanut butter energy balls! In fact that is why I came to this location as this is where the magic happens. They make them here and send them to other Tinker locations! They are the perfect blend of savory and a tad sweet and go super well with their coffee and/or London Fog tea. Yum! I will freely admit to buying all they had on hand, and now can enjoy them at home. Yay! It is a very busy spot so not the friendliest of staff, but assumed they were already hassled from the morning. It was a great spot to meet a friend and enjoy the patio and some tea/coffee. I would for sure go back and even bring a friend! In fact I've already mentioned it to several people as a potential meet up spot! Definitely something to enjoy!

I had my three year old with me so we ordered the blackberry brown sugar latte and a kids hot chocolate. She picked out a blueberry muffin and I had a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich. That muffin? Excellent. I was honestly a little jealous I couldn't steal it from her. My sandwich was great, exactly what you'd expect from the name. I really enjoyed the latte! It's not a flavor I'd normally go for and almost went for the cookie butter latte but I'm glad I tried something new. As for the hot chocolate--I've never seen my child finish a hot chocolate. Ever. She inhaled it. The shop itself was way bigger than I expected. Super welcoming and open with plenty of space and seating. It was pretty crowded but there was also still plenty of seating. We ended up sitting close to the register (I let my daughter choose where we sat) and the people behind the register were on top of it. One person overheard me tell my daughter I needed to go ask for a to go box and they grabbed one without me having to even get up. They were very kind and attentive! I really appreciated how welcoming the atmosphere was. I'm looking forward to going back soon!

My friend got the meemaw which was also extremely delicious and is made with housemade butterscotch syrup. To eat I went with a bacon, egg. and cheese on an everything bagel. It hit the spot.

It's obvious that these people really care about coffee and roast good beans. I got one of their summer specialty drink, Wake up San Francisco. It was a blackberry lavender Cuban. Never had a Cuban coffee drink before and honestly, I forgot what the barista told me it was, but it was pretty similar to a cortado in its milk vs. espresso ratio. The coffee was really good and I loved the combo of blackberry and lavender. It wasn't too sweet or overpowering. The atmosphere was lively and friendly. It may have been a little too loud for me to actually work at, but I was also there during peak hours. Also got a chocolate chip cookie for and was delighted to see that it was actually cookies in the back! Great value.

Both had no flavor and tasted like sweetened iced coffee with cream. There was zero flavor distinction between the two. I love supporting local but if I'm paying 16 dollars for two 16oz drinks I expect it to taste like something more than a regular iced coffee. The staff weren't rude but they also weren't friendly. I will say that it does look nice inside and seems to have a good amount of seating with artwork and natural lighting that adds to the atmosphere. Perhaps it was an off day but I'm not sure I'm willing to spend that kind of money only to be disappointed again.

Last week was my first time visiting this coffee shop with my daughter. First coming in, it has a…read morelot of natural sunlight and the staff greets you immediately. It wasn't too loud but there were a lot of students/remote workers in the sitting areas. They have two different areas to sit just in case the front area is full. I like how they have lounge chairs, long tables and single, two seating tables to welcome small conference like gathers or an individual meeting setting. They also have a large conference room in the back that looked like it was for larger, private meetings ( I didn't ask if you would need to book a time or reserve that space or not, but it wouldn't hurt to ask!). My daughter had the matcha latte and I had the honeycomb espresso latte. Both were really good. I liked that they ask if you would like sweetener in the matcha latte and that they have a couple of different options, my daughter chose the vanilla flavor. We both ordered ours hot and they both came with beautiful latte art. I like that they have a community chalkboard in the back, that is open for customers to post local community events, motivational/ inspirational quotes, and other helpful information and tips. They have one restroom but it is very big. Parking is located in the back and is free but with the other sounding businesses it seems like it could fill up fast depending on the time and day.

I've been a frequent flyer at Indie Coffee Roasters' North End location for a while now, especially…read moresince we often host work meetings in their meeting room, so when I got the chance to check out their Main St. location, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed -- and I wasn't! I absolutely loved the space, the staff, and of course, their drinks. I even managed to enjoy TWO Peaches & Crème lattes while sitting there working... yes, they're THAT good! And as of this week, they're offering reusable clay to-go cups starting at just $3 in several sizes. I'll be honest, I fully expected these to cost more! They're not only adorable and reusable, but also a more sustainable option -- and with 50% off your drink after purchasing one this week, it's basically a win-win! After this week, you can continue bringing your cup back for additional points/bonuses through the coffee shop, making this little $3 cup even more of a steal. Indie is easily one of my favorites -- from the drinks to the staff to the spaces. You truly can't go wrong with either location!

I think I waited at least 15 minutes before it was my turn to order. Once I got up to the pick up window, things went faster but I think I should have just gone in and it would have actually been faster than the drive thru. The coffee was ok. I ordered a seasonal bonfire cold brew and it was way too sweet for my liking. I also didn't really care for the taste of the cold brew unfortunately. And since the menu didn't have descriptions of what was in things, I basically guessed this would taste like a s'more and was correct. It was just too much for me and I only ended up drinking half of it.

This spot is just off the creek, with a decent parking lot and a drive through. It has a deeper warmer green than a Starbucks, and it draws a much warmer crowd too. We chatted often with the people in this shop! And we visited twice. How welcoming is that? The breakfast burrito is nothing flashy, but definitely warm gooey goodness. What sets it apart is the sauce: creamy, gently spiced, something like a seasoned mayo but not spicy. Coffee, of course, is the backbone here, and it's handled with a kind of calm precision. Our barista kindly alerted my partner and me that a warm blueberry latte would have oatmeal because of course the blueberry curdles regular milk. It was great attention to detail, and it's why we came back again and again during our week long trip. They had a special for every day! Shout out to the orange blossom latte which made me feel like a fairy amidst the city's tulips.
