The staff are always so polite and friendly. The breakfast sandwiches are always so delicious. Many options for vegetarians, or you can have the most delicious bacon you'll ever eat on a sandwich. The rolls are fresh baked in house, and certainly tasty, though I think they'd be better a bit smaller. The baked goods aren't extravagant in terms of uniqueness, but they hit the basics exceptionally well. Blueberry muffins are always moist, and the morning roll with the sugar and butter is so light and fluffy. I like that they also offer savory options in their herb scones. I find their menu prices to be quite reasonable. Most baked goods are around $3, with some less. Breakfast sandwiches start at $4 and the $6 ones are well worth it. In all fairness, I've never been nearby for lunch so I can't comment on that. But WCS is delicious, friendly and affordable. I was concerned for them when a competitor opened nearby, but they've weathered it and I know that I'll always choose WCS for a simple breakfast or pastry treats for the office.

The service is abysmally slow to the point where it took over half an hour from when my sister put…read morein her order of a breakfast burrito, and a breakfast sandwiches, a croissant, and one of the almond croissant to be served. Which mind you an almond croissant is simply a day old croissant that is split in half and filled with almond past and rebaked. They had been out of coffee and almond croissants that day and I don't know about the ambiance for that day. However I do know that the croissant we got was not fresh it was stale and the didn't have an airy flaky texture that true butter laminated croissants are supposed to have. It tastes like they used a cheap subpar butter and have burnt the croissant. The breakfast burrito was also badly wrapped and leaking everywhere and had for some god awful reason been filled with hard boiled eggs instead of scrambled eggs which only made it harder to handle.

Today I am inspired to actually write this review because it is my 2nd day off in 40+ days, I'm mentally and emotionally exhausted and if I hadn't had the kindest and most patient young person walk me through how to order a breakfast sandwich, which is no more complicated here then anywhere else in the world, I probably wouldn't have managed to order one. Thank you.

The interior was clean but self-bussed dishes were piling up. The ambiance was pleasant, the lighting and interior temperature were on point, and the menu had a variety of beverage options and sizes. No wait in line translated to being assisted right away by the female barista/cashier. She looked tired and overworked. We ordered a medium chai latte and a medium hot chocolate as well as the lone cannoli that somehow knew my name and was whispering it until I bought it! The dough shell of the cannoli was completely stale and the taste was not worth the $7-something I paid. It misled me by its tantalizing looks! The fresh beverages were delicious and hot and hit the spot, so there's that!

Ordered a simple latte with oat and maple flavor. Usually a latte either has too much milk, too sweet, or plain. This one amazed me. Honestly never had the perfect ratio of milk to coffee. The server was observed with another patron explaining his recommendation which made me definitely trust him and his level of expertise ~ they seem to offer tours and tasting but it seems like for the summer months, it's mostly mid week. Maybe a new schedule is pending weekends in fall/winter seasons? great pick me up for the rest of day activities ~ prompt service, quick and kind. This location has a tasting curated section in the front and cafe in the back of the red farm building.

There is parking in the back area. We parked and went inside. It's a nice space with some wooden counter and chairs with large window bringing in sunlights. We went to the counter and placed our order. They offer coffee as well as tea and some original drinks as well. I got an iced latte with maple syrup. Ice latte was pretty good. Good coffee flavor with hint of creaminess of milk and maple syrup sweetness. It was a lovely drink. They also sell some coffee beans and blend as well. We were able to but they offer tours and some classes as well if you are interested in coffee and its fabrication and roasting process. Service was good and quick. Bunch of younger people were working and seems like some were being trained. Overall it's a solid coffee shop. It's on the pricier side but they are good coffee and seem to be knowledgeable.

When we arrived, the parking lot was busy, which felt like a great sign. It was a Saturday morning, so there was a short wait to order and to grab a table, but the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The interior is eclectically decorated and has a cozy, fun vibe that reminded us of the coffee shop in the Friends TV show. We ordered a brewed coffee and an iced coffee--both were excellent--and really appreciated the option of Vermont maple syrup and oat milk. For food, we ordered a regular breakfast sandwich and the Forager vegan breakfast sandwich. We were especially impressed to see a vegan breakfast option on the menu, as many places don't cater to vegans at all, particularly for breakfast. Both sandwiches were delicious, and it was great to feel so thoughtfully accommodated. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would happily recommend Uncommon Coffee to friends. We just wish it were closer to home so we could visit more often!
