Today was my first time at Good Omen and it definitely won't be my last. The coffee shop is big, clean and with plenty of seating inside and outside. There is also plenty of street parking around the shop. The barista was so friendly and welcoming and had many great drink recommendations. I ordered an iced honey cinnamon latte with oat milk. The barista gave me a stamp card so I can fill it out when I purchase drinks for goodies. As I waited for my coffee, I noticed many art and trinkets for sale from local artists, and I also noticed a wall filled with polaroids of doggos. You can vote on a Dog of The Month which is the cutest thing EVER. The photos mention the dog's name and star sign :D The latte itself was delicious. It was a good balance of sweetness and coffee. I also got a birria breakfast burrito, which came with some salsa on the side. The salsa and burrito were yummy, but kind of skinny and tiny for their price. Overall, the vibes and drinks were great and I'll for sure be coming back to fill out my stamp card. read more

This is a purist's haven. Tons of coffee variants, a large assortment of flavorings, a huge selection of pastries, and a hip vibe. My barista was pleasant, they're dog friendly, and parking isn't too difficult. They put latte art on my togo cup, which I appreciate. read more

I would say this place is pretty good. I came here, and I tried the manchester strawberry cold foam. It was rather delicious not too sweet. I like all the little trinkets that they have in here. They also have some treats as well. The prices are honestly fairly decent. This place has a good amount of seating. I'd definitely come back. read more

Good Omen Good Vibes Good Energy And of course, Good Coffee. Good Omen Coffee Co, location in University Heights off Park Blvd & Madison Street is one you'll definitely want to pop into.

I tired myself out with my matcha drinks at my usual spot so I figured I'd get a coffee before work since it was my first night back for the week. I came to Good Omen Coffee because I remembered I had one of those punch cards from another location. Even though I came in 15 mins before closing, the service was still great! I got the banana bread latte with oat milk. I thought it was good but I'm also not a coffee connoisseur. I would come back again if in the area. Everything was great until I couldn't figure out how to unlock myself in the bathroom for 2 minutes. I freaked out with the two lock method on the door. I attempted to call but realized it didn't have a number on yelp after trying. I recommend! read more

I love this place and have been coming here for years! It's a cute little community café that has really great coffee and a wide selection of pastries. Their vegan pastry selection from Split Bakery is extraordinary! They make some of their own house syrups like the lavender one I believe. Most of the baristas are really friendly! Would definitely recommend! read more

Good Omen has been our go to coffee shop when we are in the area. Their seasonal drinks are always delicious. When we aren't getting something new we stick to the usual like a vanilla latte and a strawberry matcha. The staff is very kind and always in a good mood. This cafe is pretty roomy with lots of space for working or hanging out. They also have a large selection of fresh pasteries and some food I believe. read more

Great spot for coffee in university heights area. Street parking is limited. Great welcoming service, informative and friendly. The espresso was good. Coffee was good the day prior but a second visit the following day sort of tasted watered down. Almost like where'd the coffee go? We were on a tight schedule and didn't have time for a remake but will make sure to taste before we leave next time. Besides that little hiccup it was good coffee the first time around. Cute inside seating area to enjoy the day. Would return. read more

We live nearby and love stopping by Good Omen Coffee -- it's become a regular stop for us on morning dog walks. I usually order a dirty chai, which is consistently great, but I've also tried their matcha, iced teas, and lattes -- everything is balanced and high quality. The staff is always friendly, no matter the time of day, and they move quickly without making the place feel rushed. Even during the morning rush, it's well-managed. The shop itself is bright and open with plenty of seating. I often see people working on laptops here -- it's not too loud, and I could definitely see this being a great remote work spot. At the same time, it has a warm, social vibe. You'll see friends meeting for coffee and conversation, and it never feels too busy or chaotic. They also feature a rotating selection of local roasters, which I love -- it keeps the menu interesting and supports smaller coffee brands. Plus, they offer a nice selection of pastries and other food items to snack on. Good Omen is dog-friendly, too. My pup always gets a treat, and they even have a Dog of the Month posted, which is just the sweetest touch. It's a consistently great neighborhood spot with good drinks, good energy, and a thoughtful local feel. read more

Coffee is great! Energy and staff are friendly. First time had an English muffin with egg and bacon, subpar. Friend had a ham and cheese crossiant that lacked filling. Most recent go around tried the avocado toast. The toast wasn't well toasted, the bacon was not crispy nor well cooked. Overall, wouldn't recommend the food, coffee is great! read more

This cafe was close to my hotel so I stopped in on my way out of town. And I'm glad I did! I love these little local artsy coffee shops. I got an iced banana bread latte since so many reviews talked about it and it was great. I also got a yesterday's raspberry danish (50% off) and it was also great! There were some other fruit pastries that were very tempting as well. I would definitely stop in again when in the area. read more

QUICK TAKE// Coffee shop conveniently in the heart of University Heights. Tons of seating and they sell little items from local artists too.

SERVICE// Very nice baristas and the coffee order came quick! VIBES// Larger open coffee shop with a good amount of seating. I really enjoyed that they have a mini section dedicated to selling local artist crafts. read more

My favorite coffee shop. the baristas are super friendly. and the banana bread late is soooo good!

Three words. BANANA BREAD LATTE. I have been obsessed with this drink ever since trying it at Omen Coffee!! Such a cute cafe with relaxed vibes. The line can get long on weekends but moves pretty quick, and it's worth waiting for! A great spot to work remote with both indoor and outdoor seating. The banana bread latte (or BBL as I call it) has the most delicious banana flavor that's not at all artificial tasting. It's rich, creamy, and perfect. MUST TRY!! read more

Stopped by for the banana bread latte and it was great! The place was pretty busy when I was there but there was plenty of seating both indoors and out and the line went pretty quickly. I ended up getting a day old pastry like another review had mentioned, for me it was a total fail the pastry dough was okay but the jelly in the middle was flavorless to the point that I threw about half of it away. The barista at the register was nice and was making sure that everyone was offered punch card. There is a cute little shopping area filled with local artists. This place is cute and the latte was great, not too sweet. read more

:( I was driving by and saw their very cool sign and awesome name, and knew I had to try it. So I drove to my office, recruited three coworkers, and drove back so we could all try it together. When you first walk in, it's very local community coffee shop vibes. We were all so hyped and we were exploring the local jewelry, the community bulletin board, the dog of the month wall. Amazing energy from the very beginning. Unfortunately, it only takes one person to ruin the experience for everyone. Our barista was not only totally uninterested in her job, she was rude to the point of gaslighting. I asked her if she knew about the cool interdimensional travel agency opening up next door and the sign I saw. She was like no, I don't pay attention to what's going on around here. I just work here. I asked her if I could buy one of their stickers, and she said "no, we're sold out". So I asked about if there was other merch, and she said not really. I asked how much the hoodie behind her was, and she said "I don't know. I have to look it up." And I'm like... Cool, please do. I even joked that I loved the sign and the branding and that it was why we came and decided to try the place, and she said "oh, ok." Like it was annoying to bring up. Then I ordered a banana bread latte with oat milk. My coworkers thought that sounded good and when they ordered got the same but with regular milk. She called out my drink. Then called out theirs but said with oat milk. So I was like.. is mine with oat milk? She said no, regular. I said, I wanted oat and they wanted regular. She said, I'm just going down the line. And I said, well I ordered first and ordered oat... They both wanted regular. Then she was like "I'm the only barista here and I only work one day a week, like I don't know what you want from me". Literally I just want the drink I paid for. I told her no big deal but they don't like oat and need it to be regular. She said, I have a lot of other drinks back here to make so I'm sure I'll get to theirs. Um what? Mind you: 1. She had already given us all drinks 2. Only one other person had come into the store and ordered a matcha I will never come back here or suggest it to another person despite how absolutely stoked I was about the space. That barista unfortunately made this place a Bad Omen. read more

Drinks - Iced Strawberry Pistachio Latte & Iced Banana Bread Latte Pastry - 50% off ham & cheese croissant My Partner & I were happy with our drinks. Me, especially, because I like a bit of sweetness with my coffee but still want it to taste like coffee. Something that so many places can't get right. We also were pleasantly surprised by the croissant. I inhaled it after letting him try some. This is maybe my 3rd or 4th time here & I'm happy to come back. Our Barista was very friendly & I love the corner of artist items for sale. We will definitely keep coming back. For us, a BIG PLUS is having a treat for our dogs that visit with us, so the treats at the counter are a nice little TREAT. Thank you for thinking of the dogs. *I keep forgetting to take a pic of our coffees but here's one of our foster that visited with us & their cute decor. read more

Stopped into Good Omen because i've been on the hunt for a banana bread latte and it was delicious! On the sweeter side, but not too sweet where I couldn't drink the whole thing. The banana and cinnamon flavor really came through, I would highly recommend. I was able to snag a table on a Friday morning and got some work done as well. The staff was all really nice and the wifi worked great! They have lots of seating too which is always appreciated in a coffee shop. read more

What a pleasant surprise! I was craving some coffee and decided to swing through this highly rated neighborhood coffee shop and I am glad I did. I purchased a mocha and a croissant. The croissant was 50% off because it wasn't fresh but oh my goodness, it was so good that I bought 3! The prices are very reasonable, decor is simple but cute, and the service was very friendly. On top of that they even have a punch card to earn a free coffee! I will definitely be coming back and I suggest you stop by, if you are in the University Heights area. read more

The jalapeño cheddar bagel was tasty, and the lattes were also quite good. We went on a Saturday morning around 9:30 and just managed to find a table--most of the indoor seating was full, though there were a few spots available outside. The woman who took my order was very sweet, but the coffee took quite a long time to be served, which was a little disappointing ! read more

Really good coffee, my husband and I stopped by and got the s'mores mochas, he got a pastry and I got the breakfast sandwich on an English muffin. Super dog friendly, which is always a huge plus! I asked about the "chocolate cruffin" that I've seen online. Sadly I was told they only get - two!! - a day. I like to sleep in so I don't think I'll ever get to try one - but regardless I will be back to try! read more

Staff was friendly. They have many different milk options and not just the standard three. They sell cute little plants and also have an artist corner where various people sell their crafts. I really loved the earrings! But the price was a little too much for me. They have lots of seating inside however almost all of it was taken when I went. Seems to be dog friendly as lots of dogs inside. Tried: I asked for both drinks to be half sweet. But it seems like they did not make them half sweet. Banana bread latte - This is a MUST. It was so good. One of the best banana bread lattes I've had. I would come back just for this. Honey cinnamon latte - This drink was not half sweet. It was really, really sweet. Like if they had made it double sweet. I should have asked them to remake it but they were very busy. I took it home and added two shots of espresso but it was still too sweet so I tossed it. Really disappointed. Parking: Tough. Circled around the block and through the back neighborhoods to find a spot and walked a few blocks to get there. Honestly this would have been a 4 star review if not for the undrinkable honey cinnamon latte. read more

Walked in. No greeting. The two workers were hugging for about a minute. No acknowledgement that we were waiting to order. They proceeded to stop hugging, have a conversation and then hug again. Not sure what they were going through, but to not acknowledge customers is odd to me. read more

This is a cool new coffee shop in University Heights on Park Blvd. I had a matcha latte with a touch of honey and their avocado toast with all the fixings. The avocado toast with all the bling was only $9, and the 12 oz matcha cost $5. The matcha latte, which I had hot, was certainly delicious and not overly sweet, but the touch of honey helped me to temper the bitterness. It was just grand. The avocado toast was really good, too, and came as two slices. I would have preferred a whole wheat toast, but sourdough will do with its good gut properties. The toast came handsomely layered with fresh avocado and thinly sliced tomatoes. The garnish of feta cheese and herb was just right. The you ladies at the counter were super friendly and had that down to earth personalities. They offer inside and outside seating. Street parking is what is available. read more

Good omen is in the spot that used to be Twiggs and I'm SO glad another local small business was able to take over. I stopped in on a Sunday early afternoon for a cup of coffee and tried their Banana Bread Latte (half sweet with oat milk). The latte was delicious and my barista made it perfectly with the right amount of sweetness. There is ample seating throughout and they even have a ton of beautiful plants for sale. They have pastries delivered daily from Split bakehouse, as well as donuts & bagels from Solomon Bagels. Will definitely be back to check them out again! read more
