Roasting room visible behind glass, chemistry-steampunk coffee boiling gadgets on the counter, local artwork for sale at a small table in the middle and a standing bar with high stools. Loads of natural lighting (in the morning) My wife got a rose latte, I went for caramel. Standard coffee art (heart-topped wheat shock for her, delicate middle-centered fern on mine). The caramel was light in mine, a pleasant contrast to caramel lattes that emphasize over-saccharine sweetness over the richness of caramel - it could have been that they just used an appropriate amount or it could have been the underlying psychological effect of sitting on the couch while my kids played games and drank their hot chocolates with whipped cream. Either way, I appreciated it. The servers were professional and courteous, and the rose latte came out fast. That said, the room was packed while we were here - a testament to the vibe and the smiles they brew here. Glad we chose this place for our cozy morning respite this morning!

Jackie is the coffee art master, and the owner Renee remembers your name, often your coffee order, and gives wonderful recommendations! Another great quality is you can pull up to either side of the shop to order so the line is never outrageous. Make sure to stop by but especially on Wednesday it is $2 lattes all day!!

I did ask if they make the pastries and she said everything is made in house. They tasted pretty good. The latte had a lot of ice for a 16 oz. I felt like I took 4 sips and it was done. Normally I get a 12oz and am fine. This felt like more of a 12oz than 16. Would come back to try other things

The drinks are amazing. We've enjoyed everything we've tried! Highly recommend the Apollo for dirty chai lovers, the Cerberus if you like Arnold palmers or a lighter pick me up, and the Poseidon for something different (we like adding white chocolate to it) The service is usually pretty good, with some employees that stand out above the rest.

The food came out cold and burnt, something I didn't think was possible. The croissant sandwich was difficult to chew and the burnt flavor overpowered everything. Service made the experience worse. The employee assisting me, Raegan, was dismissive and unfriendly from the moment I walked in. When I asked for a refund or replacement, she walked away without responding and laughed with another employee in the back. If she has a learning disabilty I can understand the inappropriate attitude as a cashier. I do want to recognize Audrey, the manager on shift, who handled the situation professionally. The coffee and atmosphere were great, but management should consider hiring capable employees who will add not take away from the experience

We had situated ourselves in the neighboring "living area" space of the apartment lobby, but apparently that closes with the coffee shop. Maybe it stays open for residents? Aside from the unexpected closing time, everything else was ok. The menu was kind of small and there seemed to be an emphasis on energy drinks, which might be great if that's your thing. I ordered a London Fog and it was delicious. Service was friendly and welcoming and I could definitely see this being a place I'd be a regular at if I lived in the attached apartment building.

There wasn't many tables in my opinion for many customers if you plan to stay there and do homework or do work on your laptop. The store itself is neat, and there's plenty to see. The store's population/crowd appears to be very passionate for what the store offers and that was cool to see. I would definitely come back for their coffee. The only thing I noticed was that the wifi was a bit slow for my taste.

It's neat and tidy, which can be appealing to folks who appreciate that vibe. But it does lack the unique character of a locally owned business.

At the Hour When the Day Learns Its Own Name…read more I stepped into morning before morning knew itself, 5:30 and still wrapped in night-- cold enough to make breath visible, quiet enough that footsteps felt like speech. A few cars stirred, tentative, as if the city were yawning awake alongside me. The walk carried me cleanly, purposefully, to the midpoint I often aim for-- Beans and Brew, warm light in a dark world. Inside, layers came off like armor, and coffee was ordered from a young barista whose presence bent gently against expectation. Long, pointed nails flashed as he worked, a hint of makeup, clothes chosen with intention, and a voice carefully shaped-- a feminine-affected cadence, practiced or protective, guarded, perhaps, against the weight of faces older than his own. The coffee was excellent--no surprise there. I let it cool while thinking nothing urgent, then dressed again for the cold road home. As I left, I offered what felt right and simple: "My young friend, have a GREAT day!" He wished me the same, and meant it. The miles home gave me time to wonder-- about age, and caution, and how often we misread one another in passing. The sky had lightened by then. I walked on, warmed by coffee and thought, grateful, as always, for the morning.
