We got a hazelnut latte and a latte with skim milk. Both drinks were good and pretty much what I expected from a coffee shop. We also tried the lemon cruffin and dill custard pastry and both were delicious! It was pretty busy when we visited, so we waited about 10-15 minutes in line. The pastries weren't heated, but I understand given how busy they were. The drinks caps felt pretty flimsy and weren't very tight, so the drinks spilled out while we were carrying them. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. Good drinks, delicious pastries, friendly service, and a unique atmosphere. I'd come back!

I stopped into Dynamo Coffee Roasting on a whim while looking for a coffee fix. It's a nice, quiet…read morecoffee shop tucked away in a shopping plaza, making it a relaxing place to take a break. Whenever I try a new coffee shop, I usually order a cold brew with oat milk since it's a great way to judge the coffee itself. The flavor was good, but I was a little disappointed with the drink. My medium cold brew was filled more than halfway with ice and only had a splash of oat milk, so it felt like there wasn't much coffee for the price. After recently visiting another shop that used coffee ice cubes to keep the drink cold without watering it down, this one fell a bit short by comparison. The atmosphere was pleasant, and I'd be open to trying another drink in the future, but I hope the cold brew offers more value next time.

When I pulled up I was confused. The exterior is just a very drab commercial building. I was thankfully surprised when I walked in to find a warm and welcoming space. The artwork and vintage finds were super rad (a lot of the pieces are for sale). All of staff I encountered were very friendly. Food: The breakfast burrito with kielbasa sausage was sooo good! My new top (non-Mexican) breakfast burrito. Large and pressed on a panini press, it was perfect. $9 was reasonable too. My friend had the Denali breakfast burrito and he raved about it ($13ish). The food was also the lack of that 5th star. The coffee was just ok. I had a cold brew with house-made toffee syrup. Not sure why Dynamo needs to reinvent the wheel by making their own syrup, it wasn't very good. It just had this non-descript sweet taste. Also had a piece of their apple cake. Even warmed up it was unbelievably dry. Later at home butter couldn't even redeem it.

Next, the coffee was mid at best. I went trying to order a limeade drink but didn't realize that it was actually limeade mixed in a pour-over coffee?? How strange is that? I still drank my coffee and to be honest, it tasted no better than the free coffee you would get at a hotel or work conference. Maybe I just got the wrong thing but this was my unfortunate experience. Would be willing to try again but would definitely think twice knowing it's gonna cost $50 for two people. In my opinion, this place is not worth the price tag for a simple local coffee shop.

FOOD: We got a couple of chai lattes which were okay, if a bit on the sweet side. My wife got an interesting ham-apple-berry-brie bagle sandwich (messy but tasty); I got a breakfast burrito (more of a breakfast panini) (huge, overly-cheesy, but tasty). SERVICE: In the face of a lot of business (it was 11 am, there was a line at the counter the entire time we were there, plus all the tables in the shop were full, as were several more in the hallway), the service was very friendly and fairly efficient. Drinks were ready in a reasonable time. There was a bobble with the sandwich order (drinks are picked up at the counter by name; foodstuff you get a table number marker and is delivered to you), but they recovered very graciously. Since the food was scratch-made, it looks, it was in a reasonable time frame. ATMOSPHERE: Very crowded, pretty noisy, rather spare and worn environment -- arguably all signs of how successful they've been. Saw lots of open laptops at tables -- I suspect a lot of folk enjoy the free wi-fi and good eats and drinks. The parking lot was ... very full, except for the several Tesla chargers, only one of which was in use (we still had a good charge so we didn't make use of them). NET-NET: It was a great place for coffee and a bite on our way north out of the downtown where we didn't have to worry (as much) about parking. In a similar situation, I'd be happy to return.

Location was easy to find, open on a holiday (Labor Day), with a good selection of drinks as well as a food menu. Service was personable and friendly, and even the regulars in line with us made recommendations and conversation. We got the Raspberry Cheesecake Coldbrew (a featured special) and a hot chai latte (purported to be the best in town), at around $12. Both drinks were really tasty, and I like that the cold brew was balanced out by the flavored cold cream so it wasn't too bitter or too sweet. Hoping to come back again next time we're in town, since they're right down the street from my inlaws.
