From the display cases, the colors, the jars they sell their quick breakfast chia seed pudding in and the furniture, it's all really nice. The coffee flavors are all there. Food that people ordered looked fresh. I'd just say that my latte was sweeter than I expected. Next time, I'd have to order it less sweet.

Late last year, I had only been to Case Study to attend the Tuesday evening coffee raves hosted by…read moreFriends of Case. This year, I've visited after work with coworkers and after work alone to get more work done. Despite the limited parking out front, there is free curbside parking beside and behind the coffee shop adjacent to the nearby businesses and residential area. There is ample space inside with various types of seating and ample charging and free wifi. The front area has window counter space and couches/love seats to lounge. The back area has small tables, large tables, desks with lamps, and a love seat. My only complaint is that this large area gets pretty hot in summer afternoons without adequate AC or fans back here. It was like this last year when I previously attended the evening coffee raves. Both times upon visiting recently in daytime, I ordered the Dark Horse latte, comprised of dark maple syrup, smoked sea salt, espresso, milk. I love this latte because it's sweet but also has depth from the smokiness and saltiness. While I think the coffee is on the pricier side, I'm incredibly satisfied with my drink choice regardless. Overall limited specialty drink menu (which is what I usually care about when exploring coffee shops) but many options in general. Seems like people mostly come here to be on their laptops opposed to socializing here, which I appreciate. This is an incredible spot to work, especially since they close later in the day at 6pm, offer free wifi, ample seating, ample charging.

Loved this place…read more Definitely one of m favorite cafes. Their lattes were strong. They had a bunch of other interesting drink options too. They had a comfy seating area.

Another stop on my coffee passport journey! I'll admit I was a little nervous after reading some of…read morethe reviews beforehand, but I ended up having a lovely experience. The coffee shop has plenty of seating available and an inviting atmosphere. It felt like the perfect place to settle in and get some work done, or sit back with a good book and enjoy a coffee for a while. The overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming. I ordered the Sweet Treat Latte with oat milk, and it was delicious. Something I would definitely order again. Overall, this was a great stop, and it's definitely a place I would return to in the future.

Went out of my way for this one and it was totally worth it…read more It's a bit hidden, but once you turn the corner it's a delightful find. It's a fantastic coffee shop designed with simplicity and producivity in mind - hosted in a gorgeous building with exposed brick and ceilings, which give it an industrial feel. My take on the space was it breathes this interesting balance of lingering, connection with others, and productivity. Almost every seat had a corresponding table, so that's a warm invitation to bring your devices in. There was a Ducati (!!!) parked right across from the coffee bar, which I later learned belongs to the owner just sharing his passion with the coffee community. Small detail, but it says something about the place. Definitely not a coffee shop trying to be a copy and paste chain. Menu had a few creative options I wouldn't mind coming back to try. They've also got their own merch line; the cups were also designed well enough that you'd actually want to keep one. There's street art right across from the shop worth a look if you've got a few minutes to spare. If you don't mind a short drive for a great cup and a space that actually feels lived in, this one delivers. PS - Parking can be tricky. It looks like there's ample space to park, but a lot of that is for Galvanize and the offices in the building. Towing trucks come over often, so heads up if you're going to park there. Don't get caught in the wrong spot.

DUI You can be sure…read moreto drive under the influence of caffeine if you get your kick here. Their simple menu is not overly complicated but has quality craft coffee and other beverages to get you loaded. The housemade syrups are a refreshing upside from the commercial syrups used at a lot of coffee shops. Almond and oatmilk substitutes are available. I like that you can add more syrup to up the sweetness, but it will cost ya. TOUCH GRASS (seasonal)- this strawberry match had a nice sweet and bitter balance of the matcha. The creaminess also mellowed out the whole drink. It is very mild with the strawberry so the sweetness was subtle. Not bad, but depending if you want more strawberry flavor you should add extra shot of strawberry syrup. Overall I think it was a really good strawberry matcha; one of the best I've had. The inside is large and spacious but very sterile like a museum. It kinda gave a cold ambiance. The only downside is that the parking lot is not huge. The spaces in the actual lot are very sparse. The side lot for parking is inconvenient as you have to walk around the long fence just to go in, so trying to get in and out quickly might be a problem. You can definitely get your coffee buzz here, but just remember folks, buzzed driving is caffeinated driving.

My first time trying Coffee Builders since I happened to be in the area, and funnily enough... I…read moredon't even drink coffee! I was hoping they'd have some good tea options too, and they absolutely do. I ordered the iced peach black tea, and it was incredibly refreshing with a really nice peach flavor that wasn't overly sweet. The cashier was also super helpful in walking me through the menu and helping me decide what to order, which made for a great first impression. For breakfast, I got the avocado cream. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the chive cream was an absolute standout, it was so flavorful and ended up being the perfect dip for bites of the avocado toast. My only complaint is that it was pretty cumbersome to eat as served. I basically had to deconstruct the whole thing to enjoy it, so I think a different presentation would make the dish even better. The atmosphere was another highlight. It felt much more like a cocktail lounge than your typical coffee shop, which made it a really enjoyable place to sit and relax. Even though I can't personally vouch for the coffee, I had such a great experience that I can't wait to come back and next time I'll bring one of my coffee-loving friends to see if the coffee lives up to everything else!

While the latte wasn't as sweet as I typically like them, I enjoyed it and it even came with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles.

No…read morematter how many new cafés pop up around the Valley, I always find myself coming back because it simply never disappoints. The pastry case is pure temptation, and if you've never tried their cookies, you're seriously missing out. They're my absolute favorite, so naturally I had to leave with a box full of goodies to enjoy later. For dinner, I ordered their iconic grilled cheese with tomato soup, and I genuinely don't think another sandwich has ever come close. The perfectly golden, buttery bread paired with the rich, comforting tomato soup is the definition of comfort food. An easy 100/10 every single time. My husband ordered the steak, and it was just as impressive--perfectly prepared and packed with flavor. Now let's talk about the cocktails because they're one of the biggest reasons I love coming here. Sam has been my go-to bartender for years, and he always creates something unique just for me. Most of my favorite drinks aren't even on the menu! In fact, he named one of his signature cocktails after me, and it's become a local favorite--which still makes me smile every time I order it. It's little touches like that that make this place feel so personal. Between the consistently incredible food, handcrafted cocktails, cozy and eclectic atmosphere, and the genuinely wonderful staff, Lux Central has earned a permanent place in my heart. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that feels like home while still managing to feel effortlessly cool. Seven years later, I'm still happily making my way back and I have no plans on stopping anytime soon.

I have wanted to try this place for awhile but it's always so busy on weekends. Went today…read more(Monday), wish I hadn't. Was not greeted by any staff (although at least 4 walked past me without even a head nod), had no idea what the menu was or pricing. Located a girl standing in front of a register and asked her where the menu was ~ she pointed and said over there... There were 4 different cards sitting where she pointed. (The red one's are for food.) I randomly order something. (Espresso over ice with whole milk ~ received it with oat milk took a taste and yucked out of that. Directly into the dumpster at the back of the parking lot. ) I could have went back in there but for $6 it wasn't worth my time. If you are a regular, they seem to treat them very nice. If you are new to their establishment ~ you don't matter.

Anyways, super cute place with a lot of plant themed gifts and items, and of course, a lot of plants! While I'm not looking for more indoor plants I could not resist getting a healthy prayer plant. Small but I thought a good deal at $12. They also had some really tempting haworthia but I had to say no as I do not have my current indoor plant menagerie under control. Excuse to go back in the future! I went mid-day on a weekday and was able to get street parking easily. It might be harder during certain hours. This spot on Grand has really gorgeous planters - and the shop is across from Novel ice cream and like a 2 min walk from Grand Ave Brewing, so if you time it right you could support multiple local businesses!
