We stopped in on a Saturday around 1 pm while visiting friends in the area. The coffee shop was…read morebusy but moved quickly and had a vibrant, warm vibe inside. There was plenty of seating in the back as well. We got drip coffee and cold brew, both of which had great flavor. The baristas were friendly and helpful.

Goodkind is one of the many adorable coffee shops in Lakewood. Something that makes it stand out is…read morethat it's fairly large with ample seating on two sides. There's plenty of single tables and a few larger tables for meeting or working with a group. The space is airy and bright. I love the blue accents and wallpaper. It's def quiet and comfortable to feel good about spending a few hours there on a weekday. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, great vibes here. My coffee was delicious. I got a cafe au lait with one of their cinnamon seasonal syrups. I will say this isn't the spot if you're looking for breakfast with your coffee. I got one of their grab and go biscuit sandwiches which was prepackaged and sitting in their cooler. They did warm it up for me, but it wasnt very good. The meat was still kind of cold, so I just ate the biscuit with some honey. I can't really hold it against them, I don't think they make food there. I probably would have been better off just getting a bagel. I love touring the many coffee shops of Lakewood and am happy to finally make it to Goodkind Coffee.

Pro Tip: Visit to get a pic by their cool Lakewood mural inside the store…read more Walking into Burning River Coffee was a bit like stumbling into a local secret - a combo of smoke shop and coffee shop. The front is unassuming, and this combo isn't something you see every day, but somehow, it works... or at least, it's interesting enough to give it a shot. I visited the coffee shop side while working nearby (walking distance) at the co-working center (Icon Cowork). I ordered the red eye. Honestly? It delivered. It wired me for days. It was extremely strong and not well crafted (too much, definitely not barista made). But boy did it do its job. While at the coffee shop, I noticed a small menu of other drinks and no baked goods in the case. It just really had the basics. Service was very quick. The barista (who worked both sides of the house) was nice enough, but the vibe was more transactional than inviting. Not rude, just kind of indifferent. The space had enough tables to sit at and very quiet atmosphere. One thing I couldn't ignore was the scent of vape juice hanging in the air. It didn't bother me personally, but I can see how that could be a turn-off if you're expecting more of a traditional coffee shop aesthetic. Of note is that both sides of the business have the same entrance. They're working on dividing the space into two separate ones according to my quick chat with the employee. Currently the coffee shop has no age restrictions while the smoke shop is 21+. Overall? Burning River Coffee is quirky and good for a simple cup of coffee. It's not a textbook coffee shop experience -- it's its own thing. Just don't expect the usual indie-coffeehouse playlist and aesthetic. Expect something unexpected and different.

The location is great to walk to neighborhood shops and restaurants in Lakewood. The friendly staffer really worked her latte magic! She said she always adds a little bit of vanilla to punch up the flavors of the lattes. The coffees were so good. I also appreciated that they used lots of ice....perfectly cold and creamy. The baked goods looked nothing like the pictures on Yelp, but they did have several vegan and gf options. This morning they also had fresh cinnamon rolls.

I ordered a 16oz iced salted maple caramel latte with oat milk and a plain bagel with cream cheese and was totally gagged when my bill was under ten dollars, Seattle could never. Not only that, but I am a cream cheese lover and when I asked for extra cheese for my bagel the barista was so kind and gave me more and didn't even charge me. And when I say this was the best bagel I have ever had in my life, my bestie thinks they might be pan fried, and I have no idea but they are the perfect texture with the right amount of crunch!! It paired perfectly with the cream cheese and honestly this bagel is going to live rent free in my brain until my next visit to Lakewood. I loved the vibes of the restaurant, my bestie and I ended up hanging and eating and chatting for a few hours. The space was open and clean and I loved how much natural light we got. Getting to sit in the sunshine streaming through the window bathing in the smell of coffee is such a healing experience. Thank you for making my first trip here so special!!

Did try sips of my friends stuff- again i don't like coffee so i didn't love it but they swore it was good. Not as sweet but that's the way they like it! Place was super cute. Got a few pastries to share as well. All my friends said they'd be back!! Only gave it 4/5 stars for lack of variety other than coffee! Only 1-2 tea options for those who like coffee shops for drinks other than coffee!

There's a variety of street parking and a couple of nearby lots. Immediately upon walking in, it's a very trendy, clean, coffee shop. There are a variety of seating options and it seems to be a good place to relax or get some work done. The service was excellent and very friendly. And there is a decent selection of food and drink options. Ok, so I was hoping for a classic ham and cheese crepe and that's what I ordered. Unfortunately, the crepe consistency wasn't quite right and it felt like there was more or a different kind of flour than what I have experienced in most places I have eaten them. Plus, it's served with hollandaise and not bechamel so the whole thing was very heavy. It was disappointing... So, no more crepes from here for me but it's a nice spot and I might try a sandwich or something if I go back...

They had definitely outgrown their old space, so it's exciting to see them just down the street in a new home thats size finally matches the amount of people who are dying for a coffee and crepe. The new spot has two giant rooms with plenty of seating, including the cutest little VHS corner. There's so much more room now to really enjoy the quaint grandma's living room vibe that Brewellas has always been iconic for. Their coffee and crepes are always delicious. Currently they don't have a huge seasonal menu like they normally would, but the classics + pistachio are more than enough for me right now! I cannot wait to go back!

I love how Brewella's commits to celebrating every season with over-the-top decor. It's my favorite…read morereason for visiting this cafe now for years. I most recently stopped in during fall to winter transition when the cafe was already dressed up for Christmas - paper snowflakes descending from the ceiling, read bows and stockings adorning the walls, and a Christmas tree in the window. So festive! AMBIANCE: Cafe is one open space with vintage vibes - floral and funky wallpaper, vintage and artisan accessories sold at the cafe, and antique gold frames decorating the walls. The vibes are cozy and calm. The back of the cafe features barista lounge where baristas can relax during their shift, which is a nice amenity. The tables at the cafe get very quickly filled. I almost always get my order to go due to the lack of seating options. My only hesitation about visiting is the lack of one seat options/nooks. I sometimes like to go to a cafe to sit down for a while, read a book, and just pause. There are no options to have this experience here. While I always want to linger, I just take my order to go. If you do manage to get a table as a solo guest, there are some books by the checkout that I'm sure you can borrow. FOOD/DRINKS: Brewella's always invents fun seasonal specials - drinks and food. I always order from the seasonal menu. I also always order crepes. It's hard to find crepes around here that are well prepared. They get them just right at this cafe every single time. This time I ordered Merry Maple Latte ($5), Pear & Brie Crepe ($11). I wasn't crazy about either choice. Merry Maple Latte was too heavy on the milk that overpowered the flavors. I couldn't taste maple at all. Pear & Brie Crepe also didn't hit the spot due to pears. They were too mushy for my liking and too artificially flavored. I feel like pear jam substitute would be a better choice. While I wouldn't order these specific menu items again, I always love crepes and lattes at Brewella's. SERVICE: The service is pretty transactional. I tend to chat with the baristas at other local cafes, often know their names, and enjoy the interaction. Here the service is quick but there are no warm interactions. It's really what I like the least about Brewella's, there's a lack of connection. PARKING: Only street parking available. Parking is a bit hard to come by during the weekends. I plan to arrive early in the day for my next Brewella's visit and bring some friends to enjoy the table seating. I can't wait to see Valentine's Day decor at Brewella's and new drink creations! If you love holiday decor and inventive seasonal drinks this the place for you!

I'm snobby about coffee and tend to avoid my standard drip when the menu features flavored roasts so I went big and got a peanut butter mocha. It was dessert in the morning and it was delicious. There are lots of items for sale. I bought a possum and spaceship mounted to a small geode. I can almost certainly say it was one-of-a-kind. Anyway, loved the experience and will be back.
