Justin N.

We loved the Sentient Bean and it's such a cool and cute coffee shop right by the park. The food came pretty timely on a Sunday morning and the lines were pretty nonexistent. Would recommend for anyone looking for coffee and grub by the park. Vegan options too!

Not the best matcha or peach tea. Searching for the best around the world. If this made you think, wait until the next review.

Not great, not good. We tried the peach tea and the raspberry matcha with almond milk -- both were bland and lacked any real flavor or purpose. The cheese quesadilla was decent, but honestly, if you can find another spot, go there instead. This one's not worth it. And the ambiance was blah! Two stars for the quesadilla and the girl that helped us was sweet.

Coffee was great, Nice atmosphere and pretty busy but the line moved fast. Ordered the banana walnut slice and it was good. However it was cold and I would have liked it better heated in a microwave but didn't see one and they seemed too busy to ask.

What's in my cup?  Earl Grey with lavender syrup

VIBES. Cute little neighborhood coffee shop with a great selection of coffee beans and tea. And pleasantly surprised that I came on an open mic night. Again. VIBES. Atmosphere is cozy. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Kudos on the lavender blueberry poppy loaf.

Walnut brownie and ice latte

Decent. Had cold brew and an iced latte. Reminds me of Starbucks. Cafe is kid friendly and less expensive then most coffee shops

Back patio

Great spot right off Forsyth Park courts area... traditional style coffee house that has good quality coffee as well as great veggie fare. The omelet is quality & doesn't set you back at around $7 bucks for a few toppings Pro tip - their backyard patio (pictured) may be one of the most underrated spots to chill out in all of Savannah Good vibes from the staff make this a desirable place

Recycling friendly

I wish I could give this place a better rating because they have a great location near Forsyth park but I would not recommend coming here. First off, this is a vegan café so there are no meat options. Secondly, the cashier had G-string panties on which were visible and came off as unsanitary to me if she pulls them up throughout the day. Coffee was mid - at least it was cheap though. Their lattes might be better but due to the uncomfortable seating and better coffee shop options available I probably WONT be coming back. So sorry! I'll be happy if I hear things change.

Friendly service greeted me, and the line proved helpful so that I could peruse their large chalkboard menu. The Quiche du Jour with cheddar, black beans and chipotle - yes, please. It was tasty, hot and needed salt. My medium roast coffee hit the spot. Would I return? Yes, if it was convenient! This busy spot has an industrial, cavernous, garage feel with eclectic artwork dangling from a picture rail. There's some counter type seating along the windows and 2 and 4 top tables. A thorough interior pressure washing would go a long way here - if only there were floor drains.

I was headed to the store next door and this coffee shop caught my attention. It was so packed on a Thursday at like 10 am. I had to go in and check it out. It's a cute little place. There are lots of places to sit and hang out for a while. There are a few seats outside as well. One of the employees told me all the cups, lids etc are all biodegradable. I thought that was pretty cool. I didn't feel the lid was flimsy or less than like some products like that can be. I ordered a chai tea and a croissant. The chai tea was okay. I think it maybe needed to be mixed a bit more. I may try it again. The croissant was amazing. It was light and buttery, just like you want your croissant to be. They have a whole display case of treats so I am coming back to try something new. I ordered a cappuccino and a croissant for my daughter and she loved it. I love finding a new coffee shop to frequent. It's right beside Forsyth Park.

Good coffee, variety of selections on vegan friendly pastries. As a meat eater and coffee lover, I have no quarrels with this place.

For those of you who are true coffee snobs, Origin Coffee is my top recommendation in Savannah…read more Simply put, the coffee is phenomenal. I've yet to order a drink that didn't impress me. Whether it's a traditional espresso drink or one of their seasonal specials, the quality, attention to detail, and consistency are outstanding. This is one of those rare places where you can immediately tell the people behind the counter genuinely care about coffee and take pride in every drink they serve. As someone who spends an unhealthy amount of time exploring coffee shops, I don't hand out 5-star reviews lightly. Origin earns it because they consistently deliver exceptional coffee. If your primary goal is finding the best cup of coffee in Savannah, this is where I would send you first. A quick note: If you're looking for a place to camp out with a laptop for six hours and work all day, this isn't personally my first choice. That's not a criticism of Origin; it's simply a matter of preference.

The line is long and out of the store, so I had high hope…read more The croissant is hard and doughy. It's supposed to be flaky and light instead. The matcha latte is decent, but the matcha flavor is not strong enough. The Danish is the best of them all. Overall an underwhelming experience.

When it comes to visiting Savanah, admittedly I've come to expect only the best culinary…read moreexperiences; and, casual though it may be, Goose Feathers did not disappoint. Open only until 2:00 PM, if you're looking for breakfast, brunch or lunch, this is the place to be. Arriving at just about noon, the place was packed, but not unpleasantly so, with customers that quickly moved through the ordering process, past the register, and to the ample seating, of their own choosing (with limited outdoor seating available; but not preferable at the time, due to the spotty showers that also choose to attend). Beverages are provided as payment is being made, leaving no thirst unquenched. Needless to say, seating is immediate. With a cup of rich, flavorful, house blend coffee in hand, my daughter, Son in Law, and I found a seat with a great view of the market activities happening outside only moments before our meals were served. The Italian Panini, chock full of succulent mildly spicy meats and lettuce, covered proportionately with dressing (yes, I was given my own bite size sample) , was my daughter's choice; a visually appealing (although not personally sampled) breakfast platter was the pick of the day for my Son in Law; and, Salmon BLT, composed of one thick, juicy piece of salmon, bursting with flavor, accented by a slice of smokey bacon atop a crisp bed of lettuce, slathered in a mild, but tasty, mustard based sauce, between two halves of a soft , flakey, croissant that more than rivaled the size of an average hamburger bun, was my choice. It did not disappoint. At just under $45.00, before tip, all of this seemed like a bargain. If there could be a downside to this experience, and I would say there couldn't be, it would be that, when visiting Savanah, choosing the place to eat jus became a bit more difficult, with Goose Feathers now in contention.

Food and staff is amazing! Breakfast burritos is now my favorite breakfast burrito in town!…read more Ate it to fast and forgot to take a picture!
