They have their main menu as well as some seasonal specials. They seem to specialize in coffee drinks but also have some tea & food/pastry options. When I visited, I ordered the Iced Whiskey Vanilla Latte. The staff member mentioned it was a popular drink and made in house but the flavor was rather subtle and appeared to be prebatched. My husband got a Hot Chai Latte which was pretty good! This spot could benefit from having more syrup flavors to add to standard products to give customers more variety. Either way, I'm happy I visited.

They had some summer specials that caught my eye. I chose the iced coconut cookie latte. Unfortunately, I felt like it was was watered down. I could barely taste the coconut or any other flavor to it. Might have just been just a miss for that day. It happens. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but I'd try it again. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

I got the Hope latte and it was amazing. It was just the right amount of coffee and flavor. The staff was super friendly and willing to give suggestions. The inside was really cute and had a lot of places to sit, and also had a good selection or local merchandise and apparel. I'm definitely going to stop by again before I head home.

This month, their seasonal menu was valentine's themed. I got an iced lovebug latte, which had white mocha and raspberry syrup. I always have to get the pumpkin muffin every time I come here too because it's the best one I've ever had! They have a few tables and comfy chairs to do work or hang out with friends. I also love that they showcase art by local artists on their walls. Some of the art can even be purchased.

They were your regukar flavors except for Lemon White chocolate. i bought 1 of each along with their cranberry walnut scone. If you like the thin cooked that spread and remain soft, these will work for you. I need crispy edges at least. The scone was a very sad, depressed lump. After my first taste, i broke off pieces around the edge (pictures included) and you will see a cranberry walnut scone bereft of cranberries. There was NO TASTE of the dried fruit, even when i picked one out, it was a tiny teardrop of a possibility of the tart/sweet dried gem normally enjoyed. (maybe they should be macerated in orange juice or eben cranberry juice). oh! the walnuts were large nice pieces but with the horrible raw-flour taste overpowering even the mighty walnut, the lump could not be redeemed.

I walked in and said hi to the crew, no one said anything (wondered if I was not loud enough? ) Took no joke 15 min to finally get my drinks I was on the run and just passing through Aurora so i was somewhat inpatient. I like the industrial vibe with a plenty of natural light and seating options. It's a place conducive for computer work or a social meet up. Drinks are average.

FGR curates an excellent selection of coffee gear, coffee's and provides free shipping. I was especially impressed by Eric, his responsiveness to my questions, and his knowledge of brewing different methods of coffee. While Baratza was delayed in shipping my order, Eric kept me informed and expedited the order with a Baratza rep. He even took some time to explain brewing techniques and recommended a scale that saved me $$, even though they did not stock it themselves. On receiving the order, there was a minor defect in a silicon gasket, and Eric immediately ordered a free replacement with Baratza. Despite living in San Francisco, I will recommend FGR for their great selection of artisan coffees and brew gear, excellent customer service that goes beyond lip service. I trust them, and after my positive experience and will continue to shop and endorse. Thank you Eric.

I normally get a very small bag loose leaf which will last me for couple months which is fine. Went in for a replenishment and asked for little bit bigger bag. First bag was about 3"x 2", she rattled off some ounces which unless you have one of those food scales, wouldn't have any idea. Well she starts stuffing a 9x5 plastic bag to the top so full, fast half it fell on floor. Lot of tea wasted! By the time I got over to see, I exclaimed on no way too much! I was taken off guard and didn't realize until she rung it up-13$ what she had done- This is like a Brick of tea; I'm only one that drinks it.

I ended up getting a karak chai and a gulab jamun cheese cake to go for $15 including $2 tip. The chai was too hot to drink right away but I kept sneaking tiny sips until it cooled off. It wasn't great, but I thought it would be better once I could get a good swallow of it. Wrong. The tea was extremely bitter (a sign of over-boiling or using too much tea leaves) and I wasn't able to discern any spices. I tried to doctor it up once I got home, but nothing helped so it went down the drain. Blech. The cheese cake should have been delicious, but it was drying out from sitting in the case too long. It was very stiff, and the outside was turning to plastic. (Not literally, but it looked and felt like it.) I didn't finish that either. This place has a great menu, and I was initially looking forward to visiting more often once I start getting allergy shots at the clinic next door, but I will save my money and spend it at La Birria Loca down the block instead.
