Had a lovely time at Piper's sit down cafe!…read more I've previously done a review for the drive thru (which is a great option for a quick cup), but the cafe is great for a lazy Saturday morning. The service was wonderful, all drinks are made to order and many contain local ingredients. I had the Salted Banana Cream Latte on ice with a house made banana cream. I typically try to switch it up and try some of their other flavors, which are always good, but this drink in particular always feels me back in. And evidently it is a customer favorite because while I was there I heard and least 5 other people after me order it. Sat in a very cute little corner booth that I can imagine would be a good place to study or read in private, today we chose to play Jenga! Among many boardgames the cafe also offers puzzles and miscellaneous art supplies. They also sell a lot of handmade goods, I bought a crochet too from there and it's definitely in my top 10 most complimented clothing pieces I own!

I found a couple padded chairs at the tables. But I opted for one of the cozy arm chairs off to the side. I placed an order for a mocha latte with a dairy free alternative. I asked what food items were vegan. Sadly there was one piece of coffee cake. There were vegan sandwich or burrito. Not really sure, since I was interested in a baked good. I got the last vegan coffee cake. It must have been sitting there for a while, it felt a little stale. I don't think I'll be back. I would have fared better at the Market of Choice across the parking lot.

This was my first time here. I am a VA client and frequent the clinic a block away from this…read morecoffee place. I have been looking for a decent breakfast/brunch place close by but so far no luck there. I am still recovering from renal failure so my mobility is severely limited. I travel mostly at the pleasure of the Veterans Transportation Service or Trimet Lyft. Today's Dr appointment finished up sooner than expected so I had some time to kill before the van returned to take me home. So I fired up my tablet and took a look on Yelp to see if there was anything of interest close by. Enter Insomnia Coffee. Lots of positive reviews. Right around the corner. So... off I go. I an a US Navy brownwater sailor. We drink coffee that tastes like coffee. No additives. None. Not even cream or (gasp) sugar. So when I told the barista [HA! The person who pours coffee into a cup] that i wanted a cup of coffee black I got this sort of deer in the headlights look. What? ...I'm sure she was thinking... no Madagascar cinnamon? no foaming goop? no stale crouton crumbs? no pumpkin pie spice? Ummmm seriously? People want their coffee to taste like pumpkin? Yikes. No Miss... just a cuppa Joe. Just like my first heart throb, Anna Mae Bullock....strong and black. And I have to say, insomnia delivered. Not a bad cup of coffee at all. Although I didn't really want to hang out there since it appeared that I had zero in common with anyone I saw there... hogging the comfortable looking chairs. So I had it in a paper cup, to go. Now I have a "thing" about drinking coffee from a large, ceramic mug.... I loathe tasting paper in my coffee and yes I can tell it's in a paper cup even blindfolded. but I digress. They did have a whole display area of decadent looking pastries and not the tiny, overpriced, bogus looking stuff you see at Starbucks. Not that i would ever go into a Starbucks even to use the rest room. They had several pies that made my mouth water and some gooey breakfast glazed things that would have seriously spiked my glucose. so I reluctantly passed. Perhaps next time :)

I've enjoyed it as is and with mocha or white mocha and oat milk. The vanilla syrup tasted too subtle compared to very bold flavor of the cold brew. I haven't ordered anything else.

The order taker was attentive, welcoming, and offered great recommendations that added to the experience. The latte had great flavor and was served at the right temperature, and the side of fruit was fresh and enjoyable. The croissant sandwich is where I deducted a star. The croissant was slightly overheated and toasted a bit too much. A lighter crisp would have better preserved the fresh, buttery flavor and fluffy texture that makes a croissant stand out. Overall, a solid local café with quality drinks, friendly service, and a neighborhood feel that makes it worth stopping by.

I've worked in…read morethe coffee industry for 7+ years, and as a former barista, the customer service has gotten terrible. My husband has gone in a couple times when we go out and he has been straight up ignored, and then when he is at the drive thru I have witnessed snarky attitudes. Our orders are always the same and they're always simple, and yet it's a 50/50 chance they'll do the drink wrong. The owners should really consider doing some customer service training or managing their baristas better.

The shop itself offers plentiful seating with chairs and tables on the first and second floor of the building. They also offer free Wifi and cozy seating with a fireplace making it the perfect spot to sit in and get some work done if that's your vibe. Big River has a wide variety of sandwiches, pastries, and drinks to choose from and, for now, the pastries are sold at a cheaper price after 3pm. The coffee itself is tasty and the staff are always willing to customize my drinks and are very patient with me. Overall, I would highly recommend this coffee shop if you are looking for a spot to sit and get some work done or if you just want to try something new.

If you're anything like me, a coffee shop that combines great coffee and sneaker culture is…read morebasically impossible to resist. I stopped by Deadstock Coffee while visiting the area and immediately loved the concept. As someone who loves coffee but loves sneakers even more, this place felt right up my alley. The shop itself is decorated with basketball and sneaker culture, along with iconic sports moments that make the space feel unique without trying too hard. One thing that caught me off guard was that there wasn't a traditional menu posted. As a first-time visitor, I wasn't sure what coffee options, blends, or milk choices were available. Thankfully, it wasn't too busy, and the employee working was incredibly patient, friendly, and happy to walk me through everything. Customer service like that goes a long way. My drink was excellent, and the sneaker design printed on top of the coffee was such a cool touch. It's one of those little details that makes the experience memorable and fits perfectly with the brand. Whether you're a sneakerhead, a coffee lover, or both, Deadstock Coffee is worth checking out. I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in the area.

I ordered a Luther Vandross (Lavender Latte), Breakfast burrito, and burger with fries since it was after 11am. The Lavender latte was really good, I asked for extra sweet and it was perfect. The breakfast burrito was also delicious. I added sausage, Guac, and mushrooms. It would've been a 10/10 if left off the mushrooms. The burger tasted precooked, not a lot of flavor, just ok. The fries were fresh and hot, and seasoned perfectly. Another good experience at this incredible sneaker-themed coffee shop not too far from Nike. Definitely go for the coffee, you'll love it.

Supporting local coffee shops resonates deeply with me. It seems that Insomnia strives to provide,…read morejust like the multinational corporation from Seattle, the most comfortable environment, friendly staff, and a uniform menu that caters to all markets, across all its locations. Albeit the menu seems limited, you'll find options such as the Chocolate Croissant, (which is my favorite! Ask for it warmed up and you can taste its crispy flakes with more gusto!) to the Vegan Coffee Cake, which is surprisingly tasty, and you wouldn't think it's vegan! Also, maybe I forgot to mention it, but this is a vegan coffee cake! On the savory side, I'd encourage you to try the Savory Biscuit with Egg and Sausage, or Bacon. This is for those indulging themselves in the moment with their loved ones, and not on a diet. Speaking of diet, if you'd like to enjoy of their carefully curated ambience, assortment of free board games or joining a friend for chess or knitting on a Monday, you could enjoy drip coffee for as low as $4 (!) or the delicious Fruit Sangria Tea - add honey for some decadence. Pro tip: Get a 20% discount on everything by buying 4 x $25 Insomnia gift cards at Costco, for $79. Again, my favorite part, beyond the classic Aztec Mocha showered in cinnamon (not for health but because that enhances flavor in food!), that they're open at 6am sharp, the free blankets to keep you warm when sitting outside, or the fact that the barista knows me by name and spells my long name correctly (Baltazar), is that all this together show the amount of love both owners and employees put into each cup of coffee poured for us.
