The café offers plenty of seating and feels bright and welcoming, thanks to its corner location with large windows that let in lots of natural light. The owner is from Tanzania, and the mission of the business is to serve the local community with high-quality African coffee beans. Part of the profits go back to Africa to support coffee workers and help improve living conditions in their communities. Their signature drink is the Zanzibar spiced coffee, which I featured in my photo. It's infused with a blend of warm spices that makes it truly unique. The coffee I ordered was a lighter roast, with a pleasant hint of acidity as you sip it. They also have three different food options with African bread. The staff are incredibly friendly and happy to share the story behind the coffee shop, which makes the experience even more meaningful.

A coffee shop gets an upgrade when they offer yummy eats. The African chicken and veggie wraps were both worthy. The dipping sauce packed some heat. Very cute space and doable parking

My friend brought a Thermos of coffee made from 9 Bar beans to an event we were preparing for. I couldn't put the cup down - fruit and velvet aroma. Crisp, blossom flavor. Really good. (And it sure beat, Ahem, the local chain coffee place.). Anyway, I stopped by 9 Bar Espresso one Saturday afternoon and it was an excellent experience. I met the owner, and we talked about what kind of coffee flavors I most liked. He then helped me select a few to try. I now use the 9 Bar Espresso coffee exclusively in my stove-top espresso maker. Flavor is excellent. Again, a really positive, good products/service local place. With top coffee beans and a focused, knowledgeable roaster/owner.
