It was packed, every table, but one was full, and we were lucky enough to snag that. Even with a full house, the place was very quiet, people respected the "wfh coffee shop" culture, and did not seem to be talking loudly or taking meetings. The drinks were great, not too fancy, but my Matcha was yummy. We also tried a gluten-free zucchini bread and a lemon pound cake which really hit the spot. Prices are pretty fair, and I had no issue finding street parking even on Broadway, although I had a busier time of day, I can imagine it might be more difficult. I love that this place was open later and I would definitely come back I know people have different remarks about the Wi-Fi, the staff gave us extra Wi-Fi codes in case we ran out, yes, there is a timer and you have to make a purchase, but they are very chill about it and will give you a new code if you run out

I went in wanting to get a seasonal drink and was torn between the miso cardamom and pumpkin spice. The barista was super helpful and actually let me smell the different syrups to figure out what I wanted. I went with the miso cardamom and it tasted like banana bread! It was so very good! I'm still dreaming about it. They make their syrups in house and they're definitely known for having unique seasonal flavor combinations. There is some seating inside with plugs available to work on a laptop, and it wasn't too busy on a Monday afternoon. They roast their coffee and house so the interior smells incredible! Natural wine is available for purchase. They have breakfast burritos, seasonal waffles, pastries, and cereal. This is a good spot to grab a light breakfast and coffee. I'll certainly be back!

Good pizza making class for total beginners. Less so if you own a different pizza oven than theirs…read more Took the "Backyard Pizza Affair: Cooking at 900 Degrees" class. Honestly it was just okay for us. I'd say it's worth it if you're a complete beginner at pizza making, but here's the catch: in the class they use the mini Gozney ovens, and we have the full-size Gozney Dome. Practicing on a different oven than the one we'd actually be using at home was a bit off-putting, since so much of pizza making is dialing in your specific setup. That said, I still learned plenty that carried over! It's a 4-hour hands-on class, and you get to mix the dough, practice stretching, and launch your own pizza. The instructor, Gage, really knows his stuff and he was great at explaining the why behind each step, not just the how. I walked away with genuinely useful skills like freezing the dough and shaping technique. It's about $148 a person. The nice touches help. You get a pastry before and a cookie at lunch, plus a detailed recipe packet (dough variations, freezing, mixer methods, the works). And Rebel Bread is a working bakery, so it's a fun space to be in. My other note: the class runs long, and I wish it had been a bit shorter and tighter. For someone who's never made pizza before, I think it'd be worth it. For us, already set up with our own oven, it was a nice experience but not essential.

The inside is what you look for in an upscale coffee shop, clean, great lines, artwork, and quality coffee. I always order the nitro cold brew here and it never disappoints. It will definitely charge me up for the day or evening. Their cold brews are crafted using Kaladi Full City coffee and it has a bolder, yet similar smoothness to say a Starbucks Cold Brew. They also have a wide variety of kombuchas on tap as well! I've heard some good things about their Venetian Crème Cold Brew if you like a sweet flavor with your charge. The interior includes high ceilings and garage doors that open to allow for a breezy experience when the weather is right. The music is usually good and is constantly changing, which leads me to believe that the baristas may play their own mix sometimes. I almost exclusively drink cold brew but I have had their coffee too and it is awesome. I also order their almond poppyseed bread (APB) quite often; however, today they were out so I tried the pumpkin spice bread instead. It was good but not mind blowing like the aforementioned APB! I'm the only one that calls it that so don't try to order the APB! :D Feel free to spread the word via an APB though. :) With so many options in my neighborhood that are within walking distance I choose Nixon's quite often and enjoy supporting this quality independent shop.
