I really wanted to love this coffee shop I even strayed from my go to. The shop is beautiful and in a great location. I loved the view, plants and vibrate colors. I had high hopes my latte was going to be outstanding. I did my research the owners have several years working as baristas at notable coffee shops in Oregon. They love coffee and love making coffee. I was really looking forward to a delicious latte with housemade caramel syrup. To my disappointment my latte was scalding hot guessing 160 degrees. You know it's this temp when you can't hold your paper cup comfortably without a sleeve. Also, heating to this temperature causes the proteins to break down, burns the lactose, turning natural sweetness into bitter, scalded flavors. Overheating also degrades micro-foam and numbs your tongue, masking the subtle tasting notes of the espresso. And sadly, it also diminished the Martha Stuart inspired housemade caramel syrup into nothing. Basically I got a scalded milk latte. I was charged 1.00 for caramel syrup that I didn't taste. When the latte finally cooled down I could taste the butter from the syrup but no hint of sweetness. FYI a housemade caramel syrup latte should only be heated to 140 degrees (googled it). So, go for the views, the pastries and perhaps a drip coffee. They have plenty of seating for groups of 2-4.

I spotted Rusty Cup Cafe while driving down the main street and decided to stop in--and I'm so glad I did.

It was a quest to locate and stop by the Columbia River Coffee Roasters while in Astoria, OR…read more We had sampled a coffee liqueur from Adrift Distillery in Long Beach, WA and had a mocha from Seaview Biscuit Company in Seaview, WA. Both sites had collaborated or specifically featured their roasted coffee beans. Their parking lot is located beneath the Astoria Bridge and across the street from the Finnish Brotherhood Building. I noted from the exterior this was the former Finnish Meat Market. Strong Scandinavian vibes while visiting Astoria. Upon entering we were warmly greeted by a very personable staff member. We enjoyed chatting with her. The site combined both retail and production roastery with a great bright interior facing the busy thoroughfare. There's merch available, including coffee beans. (Face palm, I forgot to buy some and get a business sticker!) Note: there are no espresso beverages available. However, featured instead are drip, nitro cold brew, and sparkling lemonade. Plus there are outstanding Thundermuck chocolate truffles. The nitro cold brew topped with cream was smooth and on point. The strawberry lemonade was refreshing. The truffles were quite remarkable. Overall, a terrific experience and glad to have located this Columbia River Coffee Roaster site. Business hours are 9am-2pm Monday to Saturday, closed Sunday.

I'm not a local, but I've been here for almost 2 years now. I used to work at Starbucks so I was quite the Starbucks snob, now I can't drink anything else but Kick Ass. Even when they are busy their coffee is, literally, kick ass. I have never had a bad coffee from them (and I visit them once or twice a day). The service is top notch and so is the drink quality. I will definitely miss it when we move! read more
