The staff is friendly and welcoming, and makes you feel right at home. They never rush you-my friends and I spent over an hour here after we finished our coffees, and we were never rushed or asked to leave. In fact, we practically shut the coffeehouse down - right after we walked out, they started locking up and cleaning. I was thrilled to see that the Newington location was finally opened. When I'm back, this will definitely be one of my first stops. I would love it if they opened a location in downtown St. Petersburg. I'll become one of their regulars.

I'd like to share a disappointing experience from my visit on 4/15 at around 5:45 PM. After placing…read moremy order, the customer behind me received their drinks almost immediately. The barista then came into the lobby, closed the door, and smiled directly at me, which made me think she was returning to prepare my drinks. Instead, she picked up both tickets, looked at them, and threw them away without starting my order. She then began cleaning the machines and eventually went to the back, leaving me waiting for about 20 minutes with no update. When she returned, I asked for a refund since I needed to leave. Rather than processing it, she repeatedly insisted on making the drink, even after I clearly said I preferred a refund. She told me she would process my refund. Two days later the charge went through. The interaction felt confusing and poorly handled. I completed their survey, submitted a comment via their website, and sent them a Yelp message. None which were responded to.

My go to order anywhere is an iced americano, which they do very well, but I couldn't resist the "What's up Doc?" Carrot cake latte special. I got it iced so it would have the cream cheese cold foam and it was fabulous. Well balanced and not excessively sweet, with the coffee still the star. There is a lot of stiff competition for great coffee in the area, but Alvarium holds their own. I'm eager to go back and try other specials, if I can resist the urge to reorder the carrot cake one!

The cafe itself has great atmosphere if you love all things emo , however the cafe is small , limited seating ( for a popular cafe ) hopefully they do expand the seating .

For my drink I tried the "wolf in sheep's clothing " which is a hot or iced vanilla salted caramel latte topped with cookie butter cold foam and biscoff crumble ! And it was amazing ! Highly recommend ! Most importantly what I loved is that it is a full coffee bar they have a lot of options and flavours and you can make your coffee your way. Or choose a speciality drink ! I loved all the options They also had options of food for breakfast and lunch ! Also they have VEGAN options which is amazing too ! Service was really good to staff was friendly and I got my food pretty quickly considering it was a busy time Overall 4/5 for the good food / drinks and atmosphere but I would love for more seating ( and more comfortable seating )

They have plenty of sweet and savory treats to go along with your coffee cup - cannoli's, macarons, baklava, cake pops, savories, tortas, croissants, bombolinis, muffins, breakfast sandwiches, scones, etc. I stopped in to do some prep for a morning Board of Directors meeting and ordered a large drip coffee and a cheese and spinach pastry with a criss-cross latticework top. Breakfast was around $10. The coffee was excellent, and far too much for me to drink at one sitting. It was served in a huge ceramic mug, so I asked them to pour it into a "to go" cup when I left. The pastry was delicious, a great balance of spinach, cheese, flaky pastry, and crunchy top. I loved it. I grabbed a small table in the back and went through my notes while sipping my coffee and people watching. I got a kick out of the young lady to my left who was simultaneously working on her laptop and two phones while having her breakfast. She sure beat me in the multi-tasking department. Service was excellent, the friendly gent and lady who helped me were wonderful and super friendly. I sure enjoyed this private non-chain coffee stop.

I found out about Omar's coffee through a friend and I'm so glad we tried it. The ordering site is…read morevery easy to use and within 2-3 days of placing my order it shows up promptly. My favorite is the vanilla caramel mocha. The coffee is a medium bodied and very flavorful. Depending on what you like you need very little creamer. I used to be a light coffee drinker now I've switched to oat milk (I know weird) but it's less calories and no where near as heavy as regular coffee mate. Works perfectly! The bags come in either ground or whole bean. We've gotten both and they are 12oz bags (not resealable so get something to put it in). Their Keurig pods are also flavorful and recommended. My only reason for 4 and not 5 stars is the vanilla mocha Keurig pod seem to clog my machine, maybe the grounds are too large. Check their website or emails they also send coupons all the time! Recommend.

They are pre ground which makes it a little hard to compare against whole beam. I find these coffees reliable, consistent and if you are stuck I the generic national brands these could be a good stepping point to better coffee. They price is somewhat cheaper than other premium coffees. It's always a good sight to me if a diner or other breakfast spot is offering Omar coffee. It will be better than the generics. These are not my favorite local coffees but they win on price and being approachable b the majority of coffee drinkers.

They have plenty of seating, some upholstered furniture and we saw a few Friday morning telecommuters working on their laptops and sipping their coffees. Our order was a Chai Latte and a Cold Brew - each was $5. The pours were very large, and I swear that my cold brew was the very best I've ever had. I love coffee, drinking it hot or cold, and what I had here is in my all-time Top Five Percent. It was that good. I had a sip of my wife's Chai Latte and thought it was excellent as well. What really impressed me were the flavors of both drinks- not overpowering, but strong enough to appreciate them. The Coffee Guy has it all - specialty coffees, matcha, chai, espresso drinks, and pastries and sweet treats to pair with your coffee cup. We couldn't resist grabbing a few on our way out, and we took home a box with a Spinach croissant, iced blueberry scone, and a cruffin (croissant/muffin hybrid). We loved our visit to the Coffee Guy, and I was so impressed by the total experience, I just subscribed to their newsletter. So the next time we're looking for a midday break or afternoon pick-me-up..... I know a guy!

I'll be honest...I'm not the biggest fan of pre-made sandwiches that have been sitting for a bit, and unfortunately the sandwich I tried didn't really wow me. I was expecting a little more flavor, especially from the turkey. I didn't try a pizza slice, though I was told it's good. The pastries, however, were a highlight. The Dubai tart was flavorful but on the drier side for my taste (definitely needed some milk). The pumpkin croissant was very light and airy--absolutely loved that one. Drink-wise, the tiramisu latte with oat milk was tasty and a solid 7.5/10. The strawberry lemonade with boba was just okay for me--nothing fancy, but I'd be open to trying a different drink next time. Overall, the ambiance was really cute. A nice mix of people working on laptops and groups catching up, which made the space feel cozy and inviting. Definitely a lovely spot and worth checking out at least once.
