I do miss their mini cookies though! They were my favorite at their old location. Everyone who works here is friendly and they make time to remember a face or your usual. It's a great place to hang out inside or outside. It is not super loud and there's tons of space to find the perfect spot to catch up with friends or work on homework. If you're not a coffee fan. They have great matcha drinks and tea! Will continue to come back time and time again!

Spice Merchant is the standard for so many culinary wants & needs. You want an esoteric spice? Yeah, no problem, check the rack or ask a specialist to hook you up. Need a flavored syrup to make your favorite morning beverage? Yup, Torani is on the rack in a zillion flavors. Kitchen gadgetry? They got you, fam, from silicone to stainless steel. Point is, while the name is 'Spice Merchant', there is much, much more inside and forgive yourself for getting lost or distracted. And then there's the star of the show, at least for me: the artisanal coffee. Their selection is simply sine qua non. Whether you want light roast or dark, or in between, flavored bean or just roasts, beans whole or ground, Spice Merchant has you covered. I am an absolute devotee to their French roast, the Old San Francisco blend. I get a pound, ground, and I treat myself about once a week with this gift from the coffee gods. Dark and a bit smoky and it accentuates all the best notes from the bean. Maybe coffee isn't your cup of, well, tea. You're in luck if you're more with the leaf, because their loose leaf tea selection is unparalleled locally. If you prefer bagged teas and less mess, their boxed tea inventory seems endless. All of this is in its own separate nook, away from the powerful coffee aroma and focused more on the peace that is tea. It's easy to get crowded amongst the aisles, but that's only because there is so much to choose from. Hot sauces, dip mixes, or other condiments are all over. Spice Merchant draws in local suppliers (hello, local honey) and small vendors from outside the area, so you're really shopping brick and mortar here. Anyone can click-click-click and order online, but if you want to enjoy the shopping experience, then you should make the time to visit Spice Merchant. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of time.

Five stars from me for this fantastic coffee shop that was my office this morning. Starting at…read moreearly - 6:30! - I found a comfy seat, set up my laptop, and plugged away at emails (and attended some Zoom meetings quietly) without being disturbed. During that time, I enjoyed an absolutely perfect cortado with the barista even asking if I wanted the customary sparkling water to go with it. I mean, is that just fabulous? Later, a cup of regular drip to keep my caffeine addiction at bay. But all that time, just doing my thing in a comfy seat in a beautiful and comfortable coffee shop. I loved my time here!

Seeing it so busy warmed my heart, and Emily -- one of the owners -- is truly one of the kindest humans.

Jon went with the WKND Coffee -- coffee with your choice of Kahlua, Baileys, or RumChata... aka the perfect weekend ritual. We shared a cranberry muffin (because obviously ). Cool vibe, amazing people, and coffee + food that hit every mark. Cheers to living, trying new things, and starting Saturday's off just right.

There were a handful of people inside, which is always a good sign. There is plenty of seating. The tables and seats were very comfortable to do our work. The volume in the shop isn't bad at all if you needed to study or work. We ordered the Carmel No. 5 and an Americano. We were very happy with our drinks and the service. They checked in on us and were very attentive and friendly to talk to. It's very exciting to have a new coffee shop in town that feels with the times and on trend. I will definitely be a frequent customer and I can't wait to come back and try the pastries and more drinks. Cheers to such a cool shop!

Simply the gratitude of it being present in middle America sets me up to have a good experience. Someone complained in a review about the "false advertisement" of having shaved ice as most Americans know it. It's hilarious to be that they assumed it to be what they know as shaved ice. If they had tried the Asian shaved ice, I guarantee they'd enjoy it and wouldn't have complained. If you know about other culture's shaved ice, you're open to try new things and let yourself be surprised. I digress. The shaved ice found here is the Korean version, Bingsu. It's very similar to other styles, but this one is mostly milk based. The menu is pretty extensive, including smoothies, yogurt, juice, coffee, boba tea, and of course shaved ice cream. We came for the shaved ice cream, so we tried the strawberry & mango first. It mixed the two, which surprised me since I had assumed it would be half and half separated. The combination worked beautifully. There was whipped cream, strawberry and mango syrup on top and we asked for mango popping boba. It was so delicious! The best way I can describe it is a feathery texture that melts in your mouth. We also tried the coconut one which came with condensed milk and coconut shavings. We also added strawberry popping boba. Highly recommend either/bob. Since the consistency is light and fluffy, even though the portions are generous, you don't feel stuffed afterwards. The place is spacious and has tall ceiling, making it very open. There's seating available on both floors. I enjoyed the Korean music playing and the tv translating the lyrics. The volume was just right (as opposed to some reviews out there complaining it was too loud). I probably wouldn't try to make calls inside though. The guy at the counter was super nice. He kept smiling really big the whole time he talked to us. Made me smile too. He also told us about the Korean cheesecake they have for sale. It looked delicious and fluffy so I got the coffee one. It was more of a sponge cake than cheesecake but it was delicious. Highly recommend.

It was super cute in there, I love the vibe and how there is an upstairs and downstairs. We ordered the strawberry mango and green tea shaved ice.

And the flavor is good but not the best. Everyone there was nice as well.
