(And I usually can't resist getting one of the poptarts to take home as well!) So far, every coffee I've tried -- and I take my coffee black and unadorned -- has been excellent. I especially liked the Ethiopian pourover that I got yesterday. I've also found the staff to be very friendly and helpful.

It's great to walk up to this shop and check out some of the wares as you wait for your drink. It is on a bit of the cozier side so get here early if you plan on co-working at this space. I get the Ohio Maple Latte or the Honey Vanilla Latte warm or iced with almond milk. They don't make them sweet. You can still taste their wonderful coffee!

The Barista was exceptionally friendly and very informative. Love that he took the time to check if the match was truly ceremonial. He made the drink with quite some expertise using the traditional methods of whisking in a bowl. I added a touch of pistachio syrup just to make it a bit different for the ride. Tasting it was NOT a disappoint....it was DELICIOUS. The place had a lot of indoor seating and it is very bohemia-ish in the decor. They appear to really connect with the local community in their agenda as well. There were different programs you could be a part of. All around excellent....there is a lot a few food items to pick from but I dod not try any of those this time around. I would definitely return.

We order their coffee online, and we don't go to their coffeehouse(s). Their coffee selections are…read morevery good, particularly their single-origin coffees, which are what we get. The website is slightly puzzling, but you can figure it out. I have confidence in your ability. The coffee is roasted pretty expertly, imho. We can taste the difference between different origins, something I can't say about everyone's beans. Their prices are average, a good value considering that shipping is free on orders over $55 or so: three one-pound bags meets this criterion. And shipping is reasonably fast. We live too far for bicycle delivery, so ours comes by USPS in a few days. Only thing that bums me out is the decorated fancy fiberboard box that contains a stay-fresh bag of the coffee. Seems non-green and wasteful of their profits. Yeah, it looks great. But seems like they could just put a sticker with their logo on the plastic bag, at least for mailed orders. Or at least for mine. Whatever. Try this.

Even the sweeter drinks are never overly sweet. They somehow get the balance just right. I almost always get one of their signature lattes, and the quality is consistently excellent. Whenever I have a friend visiting from out of town, I bring them here, and they always love it too. The atmosphere is another reason I keep coming back. The inside is cozy, comfortable, and unique, there's outdoor seating for beautiful days, and when it's busy, you can also sit inside Natalie's next door. It's basically three different environments to enjoy while still getting the same great coffee. The coffee itself is high quality, you can buy bags of their beans on site, and the entire experience feels like there's real thought behind it. It's hard to beat this place.

I discovered this spot while doomscrolling on Instagram and suggested to a coworker that we pay them a visit during an upcoming coworking day. It was an easy sell and we made our way there on a rainy Friday afternoon. The moment I walked through the door the vibrant shades of blue and pink brightened my mood and I knew we made the right choice. Their menu is really fun... literally it says, "Super Fun Coffee" on it. I'm a sucker for a good seasonal creation so I went with the "Buy Myself Flowers" with oat milk. It has an elderflower, lavender, jasmine syrup in it along with lemon and orange blossom. The floral notes certainly shined through. Not subtle either, but not too in your face. I also ordered a baklava pastry sticky bun kind of thing and oh wow, it was amazing. Honey and pistachio goodness out the wazoo. The coffee and pastry together were seriously magical. A few extra things to note... parking is available in the very back of the building. While the space is on the smaller side, they do open up Natalie's space for extra seating. They close at 2pm only to later open back up as a bar. I did have issues with the wifi while I was there and ended up needing to use my hotspot. Not a deal breaker but good to know if you're planning on bringing your laptop. Lastly, the staff were super sweet, gave recommendations, and brought your coffee to your table, which is always a lovely touch. I'll be back!

I didn't notice the Zanzibar spiced option for the coffee drinks till after I ordered but a number of customers ordered it. I had an Americano that was piping hot! I also ordered the Kahawa mix that was 4oz for $5 and one of the quiches. The quiche was delicious but they didn't say it would take 8-10 minutes to warm it up when I ordered so I thought she forgot to order it for me so when I asked, that's when I found out about the wait. It came out shortly after I asked. It had good flavor and the egg was a perfect texture. I would head back.
