First of all, you're up on Lookout Mountain for crying out loud, that's got to be worth something…read more On top of that, this is also a wine bar, but that will need to be a different trip. It's too early for wine and I need my caffeine. Cute place, lots of locals already in place. Staff is friendly and helpful. I tried their Cabin Latte, which is a seasonal coffee, made with vanilla paste and brown sugar. Whatever concerns I had that it might be overly sweet were unwarranted, very subtle and complementary flavors and it was good and HOT, an attribute too many coffee shops miss on, unless you request extra hot. My only complaint, a to go cup, which both kills the value of taking a picture, plus let's face it, coffee is so much better in a mug. If I could, I would give a 4.5.

What an awesome, quiet and beautiful coffee shop on top of Lookout Mountain!…read more We stopped in on a weekday morning for a coffee and snack and it was so peaceful. Seems like a wonderful place to do some work or study. Their coffee is great and the blueberry muffin we had was absolutely delicious! Lots of seating options and they even have some table games. Absolutely recommend a stop in at Canopy if you're looking for a great place for peaceful cup of coffee!

I got my signature iced oat latte and a blueberry white chocolate scone which was huge and only like $4! Prices very fair and they're not killing you on the alternative milks. Really charming inside and they have some sandwiches and other foods and nice places to work and sit and get comfy if you have time. Parking was a bit challenging with only about 4 spots in the back lot and no real street parking unless you pay to park which, I wasn't gonna do for a 3-minute to go coffee. Highly recommend if you're in town or driving through like me.

While there is a time and a place for Starbucks, it is so nice to have shops that feel no need to be an imitator, blazing their own trail. This morning I'm visiting Culture Coffee, enjoying the special recipe "Scooter". I prefer for the coffee to be the star and for the flavor enhancement, in this case caramel, to be the subtle enhancement. After a brief friendly conversation with the barista, I settled in to enjoy my coffee and do a little work. This is how life should be.

The interior was spacious and along with beverage options, they had a few bakery selections. I had the last gluten-free coffee cake which was decent. I was disappointed with my cup of cappuccino as I felt it being super light when it was handed to me, only to find out the liquid portion only filled half of the cup with a bit of foam on top.

I absolutely adored this place…read more Drinks - I had the chance to try two different drinks on this visit. The first was an iced matcha with a little added blackberry. It was really smooth and a very nice quality. The second drink was an iced latte from their specialty menu that had been renamed for a special event I was attending. I loved the flavor of the coffee, so much so that I grabbed some of their beans to take home as well. Merch - There was a great selection of merch from the company and local artisans as well. The stickers and mucus has some really cool designs. Staff - the baristas were some of the nicest people. Not only were they slinging drinks and working the event, but they were just amazingly personable and kind to all of our group. Location - most importantly though was the stunning location. The furniture, decor, vibe and even the commitment to theme through the bathrooms was everything. Even the confessionals booth was just perfect. Overall it is definitely a visit, and I will be back.

Had their coffee several times now because I like to think maybe it's just the barista but every single time It tastes like they pour an entire gallon of syrup in and then they charge $9 for a SMALL latte.

There's definitely a nice local vibe here and we are look forward to returning.

I'm not a fan of milky or overly sweet lattes. Also ordered the blueberry muffin, which my 1 year old son devoured. Person taking orders was nice and helpful.

My daughter and I spent the weekend here scouting for a place for her to live. We consider…read moreourselves to be well-educated in the coffee scene, and we have been all over the country, always seeking out cool beans and cool cafes in our travels. In short - this ain't the place. If it were possible to give ZERO stars I would have done that..... Asked for a half sweet vanilla cortado (my universal measuring gauge), and the total snob barista said "we don't do that....we put vanilla in lattes, but not cortados". I literally had eyes on the bottle of vanilla syrup over her left shoulder in the fridge, and she straight up refused to put it in my drink. My daughter asked "why is that", to which she rambled on about "ethical treatment of traditional presentation". Let's pause right here and ask.....what in the actual hell? And to top if off, she also refused to put honey (the choice I as the customer had to settle for) in my drink, instead serving a very watered-down version of what maybe was at one time honey on the side. And the "hot" drink? Luke warm at best. Traditional? Whatever. How about traditional customer service and friendliness? There are waaaay too many other cool coffee cafes in Nooga, serving waaay better coffee, to waste your time and your money investing in the "we don't compromise our values for what you want" mindset at Velo. Not a weird vibe - a cult vibe. Well, we ain't members, so we will definitely not return. We immediately left for Burlaep Coffee Roasters, and they saved the day. Go there instead. Every aspect of the business is far superior.
