Portrait Coffee was pretty packed with steady traffic when I arrived around 12:30pm on a Tuesday…read more Most of the tables near the front were full but there were still a few open seats at the community style table in the back. I didn't see any pastries in the display case so if you want food you probably need to get there early. They do offer seasonal flavor specials so I went with the black sesame latte with oat milk ($6.75). The service was friendly! My drink came out much faster than expected, no complaints at all, I was just surprised in a good way. The coffee was smooth with zero bitter taste and the black sesame provided a rich creamy flavor (don't forget to stir your drink so you get the full profile). Parking was easy as well; they have a free lot right next to the building with and it was packed but still had several open spots. Before leaving I noticed their selection of retail coffee beans, including a special Atlien (Outkast) roast that they have right now. Definitely check them out and support this small business.

Let me start by saying I've been here a handful of times. I love the West End and genuinely enjoy…read moresupporting local businesses. The coffee has been pretty okay (although I did get a burnt espresso once), but my biggest issue has consistently been the interactions with staff. I'm a SIMPLE person. I don't need much, and I'm generally pretty easy to please. But I don't do rude. I had one of the worst interactions I've ever experienced at a food service establishment here. I walked in with a smile and kindly asked if I could order a quad shot of espresso over ice with oat milk. I also politely asked about the syrups on the menu. Rather than answering my question, an employee who told me her name was Elizabeth responded in what I can only describe as a weirdly mocking, condescending tone: "So you want an Aunt Viv?" Mind you, I've had the Aunt Viv before. It seems to be their bestseller for good reason. It's delicious! But that's not what I asked for. When I politely clarified, "Um, no, I'd just like shots over ice. Is that okay?" I was met with even more attitude and an annoyed response. So, I guess I got an Aunt Viv? Which, ironically, wasn't even good this time. Not sure what happened there, but I left with a drink I didn't order and a pretty bad impression. I know people have bad days, as I've worked in service positions, but it was genuinely so uncomfortable. I would've happily taken a recommendation or even an explanation of how my order compared to something already on the menu. What I didn't appreciate was being made to feel stupid for asking a pretty straightforward question that no other coffee shop has ever had an issue answering or accommodating! I love supporting neighborhood coffee shops, especially in the West End, but good coffee doesn't excuse poor customer service. I'm not expecting anyone to roll out the red carpet. Just basic kindness and professionalism. It's really not that difficult. :)

Four months ago, I called Phoenix Roasters a quintessential coffee shop…read more Four months later, they're celebrating their three-year anniversary, and somehow this place just keeps getting better. I came in this morning and it was fully packed. The parking lot was busy, conversations filled the room, coffee was moving across the bar, and at 10 AM I'm hearing people order brisket pizza and brisket tacos because apparently Friday at Phoenix now means BBQ. The menu has expanded. The place is busier. But the important stuff hasn't changed. The coffee is still exceptional. The quality is still consistent. And this place still has that ability to make time feel a little less important. I've realized Phoenix has become my decompression station. Sometimes it's only 20 minutes--scroll through my phone, grab one of the National Geographic magazines they have lying around, or just sit with a great cup of coffee and take in the room. Whatever kind of day I walked in with, I usually leave feeling reset. Four months ago, I compared Phoenix to some of the great coffee experiences I've had elsewhere because I was trying to explain the feeling this place gives me. I don't think it needs the comparison anymore. Phoenix truly stands on its own. Great coffee isn't impossible to find. A place with soul is a lot harder. Happy three years, Phoenix. Please don't change.

There was plenty of free parking on the Saturday morning and upon entering, I could smell the fresh coffee roasting and food being prepared. The large menu on the wall with all the choices of specialty drinks and food was so welcoming. The staff made each sandwich description mouthwatering. We checked in and met with one of the owners, Devin, for the coffee cupping experience. We were giving a cup and spoon to taste the freshly brewed coffees. We were offered 8 different kinds of coffees from around the world. I personally enjoyed the light roasted coffee best. It was so floral and smelled amazing. I learned so much about the tasting notes and preparation of coffee from growing seeds to how the coffee shop processes and roasts the beans . Devin was really a great presenter too. We will visit again in the future.

Absolutely adorable. Since this spot is in Blandtown I always envisioned it to be a little, well,…read morebland... but it was anything but that. During my visit they were decked out for Christmas, from lights to wreaths to calming Christmas music. There was a bit of a wait, the line was pretty long when I walked in and it took about 20 minutes to order. The women at the counter did apologize for the wait a few times and explained that the chef has called out sick, and there were only two of them working. She reassured everyone that this was not a common occurrence so I'm not concerned about that for the future. I got the iced latte and it wasn't the best I've ever had, but not the worst. The cup it came in was adorable so that definitely helped. Considering the wait to order was so long I figured the wait for the coffee would reflect that, but that was not the case and it came quickly. There's also a lot of seating, including booths, tables, and couches. It was relatively crowded when I was there but at no point were all the seats taken. The parking lot is huge and is free! Do not be discouraged by the ParkMobile signs, you only have to pay after 5pm when they close. They do allow dogs, and have a water bowl inside for them. There is also a small store inside that has a selection of items from local vendors. Super cute idea.
