I'd been seeing Middlemist all over social media, so I finally stopped in to check it out. The atmosphere is definitely a highlight. The space is beautiful and has this cozy, lounge-esque bar-meets-coffee shop feel, with velvet green and blue seating, lots of plants, and a really warm, inviting vibe. We happened to visit during Trivia Night, which was cute and fun and surprisingly not too crowded with all the seating they have in the space. It seems like they host some fun events, so I'd definitely be interested in coming back for another one.
The staff were also very warm and welcoming. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind, which made a great first impression.
We tried two of the honey wines: the Raspberry and Mango. I don't think honey wine is necessarily my cup of tea, but I'm glad I tried them! The Mango was very yummy, although definitely on the sweeter side. The Raspberry was much drier, but it wasn't my favorite and had a slightly medicinal flavor to me.
I ended up going with the Tart Apple Cider instead, and I really enjoyed it. It was crisp, fresh-tasting, and not overly sweet. Definitely more my speed!
The one area where I expected a little more was the coffee menu. Since I'd seen Middlemist pop up so much on social media, I was excited to see what they offered, but I found the coffee options somewhat limited. I was also surprised to find that they don't serve food, especially given the cozy coffee shop/lounge atmosphere.
All in all, though, we had a good experience! The space is beautiful, the staff couldn't have been nicer, and I love that they seem to host different events throughout the week. I'll definitely have to come back and explore more of the menu! read more
