The service was fast and there was plenty of seating and wifi available too. It's pretty busy on Sunday mornings, definitely a bit harder to get work done if you need to really put your head down.

As someone who often used both of those things (and had enough "burnt" Starbucks to assume I hated all dark roasts), I was skeptical. But I did it! As it turns out, dark roast can be smooth and delicious- and it really doesn't need anything! I've been ordering Rusty Dog ever since (and laughed when I asked after the particularly good coffee at Sofra and discovered it was a Rusty Dog blend). I would also like to add that the customer service is excellent. After making an order and receiving 1 whole-bean bag (I don't own a grinder and couldn't use it), I emailed and received an answer and remedy - at night! - within minutes. Incredible!

I sat in the lounge area just outside of Ledger and fired up my laptop to do some work while enjoying the coffee and it was great. The donut from a local donut joint was a perfect addition to the cup of coffee and would certainly bring me back time and time again. Their coffee is so good, I have ordered beans to be shipped back to my house, as well! The only complaint that I have about the place is that an 8AM opening for any coffee shop is simply far too late in my book. Aside from that, awesome spot and highly recommend it.

This place is giving, no nonsense, here's your coffee - get it and go with a premium price. I would say their location is prime - being the only coffee shop inside garver feed mill, so they will always have a steady stream of people, plus orders online, which added to the wait. Was it worth it - to have a coffee while strolling, I suppose. Any time else, not really.

The most unbelievable email ive ever read. I said I was uncomfortable about something at the…read moreforward coffee shop and posting a review of my experience on yelp or google of a business and sharing what I experienced is freedom of speech and that's what yelp and google is. They threatened legal action if I shared what I experienced. The email that I'm still speechless about they directly insinuated i have mental health issues - all bc I asked to speak to a manager about something that was making me uncomfortable and would make anyone uncomfortable. This entire email is the clearest example of destructive gaslighting i have ever see. I have never spoken a word to them about my personal life, I have never said a word about 'metal health issues. I was not given any opportunity to speak or defend myself.They made sure i wasnt called only emailed to control their narrative of me. I made the decision to never come back days ago. I go almost every day. I am unbelievably nice. I dont say anything besides my order and small friendly talk. I say thank you every time i get my drink and smile. I am not someone that would randomly make things up. I explained a situation that happened 5 months ago but as you can see in the email they've apparently 'looked at all the footage' and have made their conclusion in less than a day. There's no way you can go over 8 months of footage in less than a day. There's no way to make an accurate fair conclusion in less than a day. As you can see in their response they accused me of trying to make employees look bad. Here was the incident: I came out of the exit door to the bathroom and two employees had been so close to the door that I hit them by accident. I asked 'can I help you?' And they ran away. Even then I didn't say anything. It was invasive, inappropriate, and incredibly rude. I should have said something as anyone would but I didn't. Somehow I knew this would happen if I said a word. They usually have one or two at the front and are very often alone but bc the employees didn't see anything that means I'm lying. Make that make sense Their false accusations and threats of taking legal action is laughable. They even had the balls to give me the number of a mental health line. It is absolutely despicable and condescending. It's hilarious to me that they set these rules and conclusions that I must follow as if not following it is doing something illegal. I'm not an idiot. I feel so sad for people that are actually like this bc it only shows how many issues they have and how unhappy they are. It shows the type of people they are and their morals and values and indifference. To know a collective group of people, a well known and popular coffee shop, handles a customer telling them something is making them uncomfortable is in reality the direct opposite of how establishments are as a norm. It makes me very concerned for customers. Lastly The email written to me said how'd they they don't have cameras in the bathroom or stalls so they don't know if anything happened. The incident was not inside the bathroom and stalls. I said that many times and made clear. They lied to make me look even worse.The moral of the story is don't speak up when you feel uncomfortable bc it's your fault you feel that way. Keep spreading that message my friends. I was told it was inappropriate to contact any employees or go into the store as if I had already done something or was going to. I do not behave in that way nor have I ever.. I dont have any contact info for any of them. Ive never seen any of them outside the coffee shop or spoken to them. I don't even know their names.. The emails are not in order - yelp has been mixing them up when I put them in order. Sorry about that

The food's no slouch either - the steak tacos I got were incredibly nice, with a very nice balance of flavors between the chipotle crema and chimichurri sauce as well as textures from the crispy potatoes and steak. Top that with Cajun fries that puts even Five Guys's fry portions (and flavors) to shame, and you've got yourself an amazing plate. Dessert, which I almost debated skipping on, was also wonderful. The brownie was a lot bigger than I imagined it, and the ice cream drizzled with caramel really brought it all together in this classic combo. Overall, I'd come back again - I can see myself being here with friends or on another solo venture. I just feel bad trying to find parking among the spots for the apartment tenants...

That was greatly appreciated since we didn't have to wait just to get to the window to order then wait some more. My son had a shake and I had a coffee. We both enjoyed our drinks very much. The lacking star is for the sandwiches. He had the pesto and I had the turkey. The sandwiches could be equated to frozen microwavable sandwiches but with even more gross "meat". Both were just the breading and patties. We didn't bother w the sandwiches. I'm not even sure who thought these would be an option to feed to people, but please tell me that you only ran out and had to get backups this day. Other than this, I would highly recommend the drink options.
