I was on a field trip to Confluence Park with a Master Naturalist training class recently. We like…read moreto go someplace nearby afterwards for a social. This time, Tandem was the venue of choice. I really liked the place. It was very laid back and comfortable with a bit of a dive bar atmosphere. The seating included sofa areas, small table, and larger tables. It was not brightly lit, and the music was nice. We went to the counter to place our orders. They had sandwiches already made in an icebox. When ordered, the guy put them in a waffle iron before serving. I had the Cubano, and let me tell you- it was the best one I have ever had. It was so crispy and delicious. My only comment is that it could have used a bit more mustard. I also had an iced Americano with Como La Flor syrup. That was a blend of lavender and blueberry and was house-made. It sounded awesome and delivered awesomeness in every sip. I will definitely be back. I have to try the waffle pressed peanut butter and jelly!

It's a fun place even from the outside! They have coffee, beer, and wine. The barista was friendly and answered our questions. I did a nitro brew with their homemade Mexican vanilla syrup. I do not like sweet coffee and told the barista that. She said they do 1.5 oz of syrup. Which is a lot for my liking. I asked her to put .5 an oz only and it was perfect! They have events here too. Tandem is a place I would put in my rotation!

The service has consistently been exceptional, and I particularly appreciate their impressive bourbon and whiskey selection.
