I cannot sing the praises of this Fort Wayne coffee shop enough. If it tells you anything, we…read morevisited as we were driving through town heading north and we loved it so much that we stopped again on our way south back to Indy. For starters, they make all of their non-dairy milks in house. The oat milk was fabulous! This also helps avoid all of the funky ingredients that are often added to these alternative milks. The staff was very friendly and the space was expansive with local artwork on display for sale, a variety of food items for purchase, coffee beans and a great coffee menu. I thoroughly enjoyed my lavender latte and we picked up some beans for the road. Overall it was a very positive experience and I will definitely be visiting the next time I am in the Fort Wayne area.

The espresso was perfect and hit the spot (I needed all the caffeine for my drive home), and the latte was really good. It tasted just like pumpkin pie, but was slightly on the sweeter side. I would have probably asked for a little less sweetener, but that's just my taste. It's also very nice inside with lots of seating. I didn't try any pastries this time, but they look delicious.

There are garden beds and planters everywhere, so you don't feel like it's in a strip mall at all. Parking was a bit weird since there were only a few spots out front but lots around other businesses. The coffee was good. The smores latte was the fall drink I tried and it was pretty sweet! Almost too sweet to drink a large one. My friends got americanos and they loved those and said the coffee flavor was great. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely come back!

I do not say this lightly, but as I am a southerner born and raised, I must admit that the sausage…read moregravy at Firefly is the closest to southern gravy that I've experienced since I moved to Fort Wayne last year! There was a really nice flavor of sausage, instead of the flour base that most restaurants choose to use. The biscuits were an interesting choice and weren't bad, but that gravy was the entire reason for their being. At only $8, I will definitely be back to get more! The service was fine, considering the food is brought to you, but nothing more. The ambiance was very much a coffee shop's ambiance, which is a good thing. I look forward to being on this side of Fort Wayne again so I can chow down on more sausage gravy!!

The Hive Coffee House was near the IU clinic. About 5 minutes from there. I had gone there to get a…read morelatte and also get a matcha latte to go. The Hive is your quintessential meeting spot, with armchairs, barstools, and places to have conversation over coffee. There is a limited food menu, and the coffee is Utopia brand. The coffee starts around $5-6 for a small, but the small doesn't feel too small. My latte was fine, and the matcha was fine (per my wife). I liked that they have domes for outdoor seating, and overall the place's ambiance was inviting. There is off-street parking available. Pros: decent coffee, nice meeting place. I wouldn't make a meal of it, but it's a good place to go if near it.

I felt yelled at bc the owner was so rude and acted mad that I was trying to order waffles at 10:15 am. He said he was sold out so I just ordered a drink. When I asked when would be a good time to get waffles next, he said, "I TOLD YOU!" No, you didn't. You said you were sold out. I didn't know at that time you only made a limited amount each day. After his, "I TOLD YOU," I probably looked confused. He then said he only makes one sheet a day. He went so far as to say they're a pain in his butt and he's semi retired anyway. OK. But all the pictures of the waffles that are used in advertising this place should be replaced with, "I don't really want customers so stay away." Because I will be from now on.

Penny Drip was open at 8:30am (blasting incredible music btw), ready to go. I got a vanilla latte (for me) and a pistachio matcha (my partner).

Loved their vibe - will definitely visit again when we're back in FW. Will need to try their vegan breakfast sandwich!

The environment has a slightly industrial feel with just a hint of coziness, which gives it a modern but still comfortable vibe. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel. It was alright -- nothing special, but given the size and volume of the place, I don't necessarily expect everything to be made completely fresh to order. It did the job. The service was also just alright. My interaction with the barista/bartender was brief and unfortunately a bit stale. She wasn't rude, just not particularly warm or memorable. Overall, it's a convenient place with a lot of options, but the experience itself was pretty average.
