We ordered a few of there holiday drinks. I ordered a Oatmilk Holiday Cookie latte and was really good in my opinion 8.5/10. And my fiancé ordered a Chocolate covered Strawberry Latte, which was really great as well. The drinks came out pretty fast, typically usually only around 2 people working from my experience, but really great service. I think this is a hidden gem and will definitely be back.

It started to make me feel sick and didn't want to stay too long. It was also confusing because they only list one price on their menu for every item and don't say a size. So I was confused when the girl asked me what size I wanted and I wasn't sure what price I was paying. I just ordered a medium iced latte with blackberry syrup. They have a lot of different syrup options! I didn't really like the latte that much and couldn't really taste the syrup almost as if it wasn't added. Maybe it's just because I prefer my lattes a lot more sweet and creamy, and this one tasted more like black coffee.

He made some great recommendations based on my preferences and offers items in bean or grounded formats. I purchased the Costa Rica Marigold option based on the notes listed. He gave me beans that had been roasted that day! The beans are high quality but not has flavor forward as I'm used to. Either way, pricing was very fair and seems to always have all options in stock.

I also tried their hummus toast and it was really good! I'd love to try more of their food items in the future.

Everything from their roasts and drinks to the decor was fantastic. My wife had an iced vanilla latte, and I ordered a flat white. The flat white was beautifully balanced with smooth chocolate and light nutty notes, without being overly dark or roasted. I also picked up a 10 oz bag of their Brazil Yellow Bourbon Natural to brew at home. The staff was incredibly welcoming and even brought our drinks right to our table. Highly recommend!

It has a pretty strange location that makes it seem out of place. Just don't judge it until you go in. The prices are pretty okay for being coffee that's local and independently owned. Basically the coffee is the main thing of course. It's got kind of a small selection but they only make the best stuff. There's the basics like the lattes and a few of the specialties too. Actually can be good to not be too complicated. It's about $5 to get a specialty coffee, which isn't that bad to be honest. Also has bags of coffee beans to go. The last time in here I got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte. Like drinking cereal. They also have a few pastries. It's about $2 for a croissant. The Vegan Curved Croissant is one of these. Fluffy and still has a buttery flavor. There's also a few breakfast sandwiches. Finding it can be complicated. It's located in a building on Schoolhouse Road. There's also a pizza place in the same location so after going here you can go there.

For example, during our visit, they had sweet basil rhubarb muffins -- you might think that this combo wouldn't work. Wrong -- the muffins were delicious! Staff are always pleasant, despite having to handle large crowds, especially on weekends. Pro tip: order ahead and the items will be waiting on a pickup shelf. The vibe is modern industrial and many tables have places to charge devices. We've only been here on the weekends, and as another reviewer pointed out, it would be challenging to work here from a laptop during this timing, due to the noise. We always look forward to visiting Sparrow Coffee.

It was a little too sweet for my liking so I may try something different next time. My husband got an iced mocha and I preferred his drink. The mocha tasted authentic and not too sweet. I loved how rich it was.
