The espresso here is fantastic, seriously well made. My wife got the blueberry maple latte and loved it (fruit in my coffee isn't really my thing, but she couldn't stop raving about it). We also split a bagel sandwich, and wow, it did not disappoint. Fresh ingredients, perfectly toasted, just really delicious. Oh... and they freeze their drip coffee into ice cubes and then use them for your iced coffee.. wow. On top of all that, the service was great, warm and friendly without being intrusive. This place has such a pleasant vibe. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great cup of coffee and a comfortable spot to settle in for a while!

However, delicious taste! Did not taste watered down. Cashier let us know they were out of to go boxes for the food. Very transparent! We ended up having her wrap it up in aluminum which was fine.

I had the shaken espresso and my wife had an iced pumpkin spice latte. Both were incredible and tasted completely real, not like the artificial syrups you get at most places. What really took the cake was the fresh Boardwalk Turkey crepe. Rebecca, the owner, was a delight and took the time to walk us through the menu and everything they offer. We ended up staying and working for a few hours. It's cozy, the Wi-Fi is fast and secure, and it's locally owned. We'll absolutely be back.

I think we saw the owner in there as well making coffees with the rest of the staff which was super lovely to see! We ordered Ryan's Special and the Caramel Apple Macchiato. Both drinks had smooth coffee and great taste! The Ryan's Special had a nice cinnamon and caramel flavor and the cold foam was "whipped" perfectly. The caramel apple macchiato actually tasted like an apple pie! The inside had nice coffee shop seating and some more comfortable chairs as well. They also serve ice cream from Yoders!

I always wait to review a local business until I've at least visited them three times because I…read morethink it's the fair thing to do. I've visited Ryan several times when he had his coffee trailer and five stars for sure. However, his shop is another story. First time I went there I ordered the cold brew. They were out. No worries. They're brand new and probably don't know how much to prep so I just ordered a latte. It was decent. A month later I went there again. I ordered the cold brew and they were out. I was a little puzzled this time but was like whatever. This time I didn't order anything because I really wanted cold brew so I just went to Starbucks since it was just down the road. TWO month laster I visited for a third time. Guess what lol. They're out of cold brew once again. I went at 9am on a Tuesday and they were DEAD. How do you not have cold brew ready? I know you want it fresh but the shelf life on that is 3-5 days if stored properly. Anyways, the barista said they run out of things quite frequently and it becomes frustrating. So, I left without ordering anything. Oddly, all three times I've been there Ryan hasn't been. So not sure what's going on. I sure liked his business when it was just a small trailer. There's a second Starbucks being built just down the road from his shop. He's surrounded by them now. His prices are more expensive than Starbucks by a lot. I can't support a small business that charges a fortune for product they never have. I won't ever be back. Good luck bud.

Mad at you all. Mad…read morebecause I love you so much and I live in Tampa. This is the atmosphere, food and coffee that I seek out when I go into a new coffee shop. Great music being played, big windows letting in tons of light and quality food and drink, hell yeah Project Coffee. I'm not sure how you made that doughnut, or if you didn't where it was brought in from, but I'm going to need 3 dozen of them - ASAP. Absolute crack. Coffee was killer as well. Couldn't be more happy. Went for a latte with honey to get a good understanding of what level we were at as a shop. Now in ready to go back for a flat white, cortado or something. I'm sold. I did ask to take a clipping of the plant that was hanging. Maybe might of scared the staff but they had to ask their "plant guy". Boooo, I didn't wanna be a pirate and take it myself but all I'm saying...when I come back...watch your plants... All love, you all have it going on. Thank you for a great hangout

As soon as I saw the picture and little blurb about it I knew I had to add it to my coffee stops this trip. I am so glad he added it to that list because it was so tasty!! The shop is unassuming from the front it's in a little shopping area but don't let that fool you this place is top notch. Not only was my chai tea delicious we got to see kayakers sail by on the water as we were waiting on it!! But alas, more about my drink the consistency is a little thicker but the flavor is so on point even the ice couldn't touch it. Out of all the places I tried I loved the rich flavor of the chai here best. If you're visiting AMI definitely make the trip out to try this gem you will be glad you did!!
