Best coffee shop in the area by far, not only because they care deeply about the craft of coffee…read morebut because they care deeply about their customers, the neighborhood, and community. Neighbors was such a welcome addition to our Woodley Gardens community. We were in need of a locally owned and operated coffee shop in this area and got SO much more when Lulu & Spencer opened Neighbors. From the seasonally curated drinks list to the carefully sourced and brewed beans, everything they do is thoughtful. That extends to their hospitable atmosphere - every barista has tried to learn/remember my name (and I'm trying to learn everyone's as well!). It sounds small but this is what builds community over time - that caring attitude is felt and appreciated by all of us who frequent Neighbors. They also host a monthly book club AND run club, giving those of us in the area another reason to meet up, connect, and be together. It's what we need now more than ever. I feel so lucky to have a place like Neighbors nearby! It's located right across from the park and is often frequented by families with children, friend groups, and more! Lots of seating outside, shared with Z&Z and Carmen's.

They do have a locker outside where you can pick up your order of beans. I'm not sure if all the merchandise is gone, don't believe that the Cafe survived Covid and then decided to close.

Remember that the café is closed. visit the local ice rink and thrift store.

Unfortunately, my experience at this coffee shop was disappointing due to poor customer service…read more When placing my order, I asked a simple question about how their macchiato is prepared. Different coffee shops make macchiatos differently. some use mostly steamed milk while others use mostly foam. Instead of explaining how their version is made, the employee responded with, "What do you mean? It's a macchiato," which came across as dismissive and unhelpful. There was also confusion with my order because I was never asked whether it was for here or to go. Part of the order was prepared in a to-go cup while another part was prepared for dine in. When I politely asked if everything could be put into a to-go cup, the employee replied, "Can't you just chug it?" and appeared visibly annoyed by the request. What concerned me most was how the drink was handled afterward. The employee took the cup, held the lid in the area where customers place their mouths, carried it to the back, and returned with the coffee transferred into the cup. Watching someone repeatedly handle the drinking surface with bare hands was not something I expected from a food service establishment. Mistakes happen, but the combination of dismissive responses, poor communication, an unprofessional attitude, and questionable drink handling practices left a negative impression. I hope management addresses these issues, as customer service and basic hygiene should be priorities at any coffee shop.

Who doesn't want a rich, aromatic, satisfying cup of coffee in the morning? I certainly do and…read moreInnerloop Coffee Roasters fills that need. I am a big fan of the Burundi coffee that infuses brown sugar, Earl Grey, and star of anise flavors into this cup of morning coffee. Don't forget to order their biscotti cookies, they are so delicious, especially when dunked in your coffee or tea. They have a really cute gold spoon to help measure your coffee and it double tasks as a clip to hold your coffee bag closed. If you are looking for a deep and flavorful cup of coffee, then order now. The coffee is shipped to you quickly and efficiently! Great coffee and a wonderful locally owned business.

They currently are roasting a single-origin bean from Burundi that has tasting notes of cinnamon powder, clove and dried stone fruit. It's smell is intoxicating and the resulting drink is smooth and flavorful. It also makes the best iced coffee I've ever had. They roast every Wednesday and Sunday and make free local deliveries. Thank you so much for making my mornings (and let's be honest...afternoons...and some late nights) brighter!

Thank you to Zeke's Coffee for keeping us caffeinated during Lockdown 2020! We had been getting…read moretakeout coffee but after realizing we were spending the equivalent of two packs of toilet paper every day we decided it was high time to start making our own coffee. My husband set out to the Mosaic Center Farmer's Market for the goods. It was his first time out in the world in a month and he was pleasantly surprised by how safe and efficient everything was. The market made it very easy to practice social distancing and everyone was wearing a mask. When my husband inquired about which beans to purchase, the seller was very thoughtful in asking about how we would make the coffee, what our flavor preferences and more. Since we do not have a grinder at home, he ground the coffee as well. We are now fully stocked to make the perfect at-home cup at home and we can't wait to go through our bag (should be tomorrow!) so we can try some other roasts. Thank Zeke's for giving us the strength to work from home, parent, clean, and binge watch Netflix shows all at the same time. You are the best!
