"Nothing you could say could tear me away from my guy…read moreNothing you could do, 'cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy" (Mary Wells) We took a morning coffee break, and had a wonderful time chatting, relaxing, sipping our drinks, and enjoying the friendly, mellow, and very chill atmosphere at the Café by New England Coffee Guy. 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!

We got the iced pumpkin spice latte that just tasted like watered down coffee with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Barely any milk, too. The iced caramel latte also wasn't good at all and was very watery. No coffee/espresso flavor in either of the drinks. However, service was quick and the staff was friendly. But I won't be back unfortunately.

I really enjoy Gastro Park, it's such a fun, inviting space, for kids and adults alike. They've…read morerecently introduced Alvarium Roasting to Gastro Park. I was tempted to get the very tasty coffee cocktail Pawsh Spice, but decided to try something else off their summer menu. Beary, Well Shaken is an invigorating blend of berry iced tea, fresh lemon juice and sparking water. This sounds very basic, and it's caffeine free, but it's so energizing and truly refreshing, it felt like it's caffeinated. My mom loves their capuccino. It's creamy, rich and delightful. I'm so glad Alvarium Roasting is now at Gastro Park.

There are tables and chairs near by if you want to sit and enjoy your coffee. The cafe's drink offerings are short and sweet with the classics, a few signature drinks, and some sandwich offerings including brunch all day. I tried the Honey Oat Chai Latte which was very flavorful, spicy, and the tea didn't over power the touch of honey. My mom got the Nutella Frostbite, an iced blended drink with Nutella, espresso, and milk. Both of our drinks were very good, but the price tag is pretty steep. It's a high-end, organic, strong coffee, definitely for a true coffee connoisseur. The Nutella Frostbite was $10 for example. It is nice to have a new cute coffee and drink option at the mall that is easy to grab while shopping. The service was very quick and friendly. Plus, there was no line for a Saturday.

I ordered the iced latte. However I felt like for a coffee shop the coffee options were limited and didn't offer any specialty drinks/menu . And i didn't see any options for adding flavours like vanilla or hazelnut either which was disappointing for someone who ho loves to add flavour to coffee ( not sure if I just had to ask for it .. but didn't see it on the menu as an option) They did however offer a variety of different types of coffee and brewing options which was different . They also offered pastries and a limited food menu as well which I felt was little pricey . And the seating is also very limited , and uncomfortable . Not ideal for sitting and chatting for extend periods . Ideally I would come here for a grab and go coffee if you want something nice and simple .

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 . The food itself although lacked presentation was delicious . I got the egg and cheese. Simple but cooked well , and tasted good . 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 )

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.
