While in the area I stumbled upon Barrio Barista when I was looking for a spot to get some work…read moredone and hang out with my Mom for a coffee. Yelp steered me right and brought me here on a Thursday morning. Walking in I wasn't sure if this was only a coffee/tea spot or if they sold cocktails and beers too. The bar area and decor lends itself to look like an old bar and it has great vibes! No beer or cocktails here but they do have a seemingly delicious menu! We didn't eat anything while we were here because we had breakfast prior to coming in. The menu had an array of offerings and sandwiches that I could see myself coming back and trying in the future. I ordered a Mexican Mocha and my mom had a cold brew. Service was fast and friendly. We found a nice spot close to the windows and I was able to look around at all the relics around and displayed at the front entrance. After we got our drinks, one of the owners or managers, walked around offering delicious slices of lemon frost cake. I was so appreciative that this just made our delicious coffee even better! I saw many students and other folks reading and studying while we were here. The atmosphere lends itself to do so too as it is chill, quiet, and quaint. I will definitely be back again. This spot was super unique and I really love their smart branding and logos/brand identity.

At first, from the outside, I thought I was walking into a barbershop because of the door, but stepping inside was a fun surprise. The space is really unique--almost like a mini indoor shopping mall. The coffee shop is right at the front, but as you walk further back, there's a barbershop and a few other small shops to explore. Despite all that, it still has a chill, relaxed vibe. Plenty of seating and big windows make it perfect for hanging out with a book. I ordered the Holiday Inn Cambodia coffee, and it was fantastic. the service was great. Barista gave me a few recommendations. I'll definitely be back--this is a great spot to unwind, read, or just get out of the house for a little while. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

He's always answered my questions, no matter how silly or inane they might be and has readily offered perspective on different types of coffee or methods to make. I'll forever be grateful for that! Now onto Gold, I was a bit bummed when he wasn't at the trailer but happy he opened up his own shop and started visiting regularly. From its humble beginnings of a few bar stools, limited menu, and a small space to the wide open space that is Gold today, the constants have been killer coffee, awesome service, and great convo if it's not a mad rush. From standard drip to espresso to imaginative inventions, the coffee is top notch. If you're hankering for something different, talk to them a they will take care of you. Staff has always been awesome and they definitely know what they're doing. I once asked about chemex ratios and was given an on the spot class. If you don't like good coffee, good service or a solid place to chill, then this may not be your place. Also, they let me bring my doggo, Pancho, in, what's not to love?!

I appreciated that the place was appearing to be well kept stocked, comfortable…read more Unfortunately the music was kind of erratic for several hours a little too loud and one of the staff spent so much time trying to find another show or music that it was distracting. Otherwise coffee was great.

What a great spot to come to when having a lazy day and catch up on some reading. The artwork here…read moredefinitely caught my eye. I sat near the wall with old artwork that has been changed to go along with the CBD type drinks they sell. I laughed at the "We can do it" painting changed to "We can Dab it!" , as well as the traditional "Have a coke" pic changed to "Have a toke." Very clever. The lady at the register wasn't super friendly. I wouldn't say mean just indifferent or possibly sleepy. I ended up with a chagaccino (love the benefits of wild foraged chaga) and some added CBD. The drink was a bit pricey. But to be expected when doing healthier type drinks. They have several enhancers like CBD, delta, kava, Kratom, or mushrooms for an extra charge. I liked the chill vibe and couch area in the back. Parking here is very rough. Infact, this is my third try since there was no parking the first two times I tried, and I didn't feel comfortable parking infornt of houses nearby. Third time's a charm. They were playing some great 90s to early 2000s jams. Some Eminem, Backstreet, and some Britney b@#$%! This is one of those spots I will have to come to early on my days off. Overall, pretty decent atmosphere and drinks with room for some growth.

From the warm greeting at the door by the lovely hostess to my sweet waiter Brian, everything was…read moreamazing. The music was exquisite, the food was sooo comforting and delish. I also loved knowing comfort cafe is a non profit organization helping those in need. I'm so grateful to have been able to support such a beautiful mission. My family definitely enjoyed comfort cafe. *cash only. If you did not bring cash like us... Don't sweat it, they have an atm in the back by restrooms. Their menus have no pricing so it's purely donation.

I go out of my way to eat here every time I am anywhere within an hour of it on the weekends…read more The staff have a real passion to help however they can as they want to pay it forward with the help they are receiving on their journey to recovery. The food is out of this world with such large portions. I get the Drunken Monkey every time I go and am so glad with every bite as it is so fresh. Please note that their food is made fresh and the cost is only a recommendation since you give what you can but they only ask cash or check. There is a ATM around the corner but it's best to come with cash in the pocket as it's so worth it. So the next time you are anywhere near the area on the weekends and want a great breakfast you have to go but get there early as there may be a line since the service and food is that damn good.

This place was super cute, cozy and relaxing. Great quick service…read more I ordered an iced matcha with banana syrup and oat milk. It was a nice balance of sweet and earthy. They have different varieties of seating areas along with game boards and books. This is a nice place to just chill with a good beverage.

The ingredients in the drinks here are absolutely sourced for the best quality and flavor. My friend got a chai and stated this was the best chai she has ever had, another got a latte with honey and we both agreed the honey was such a delicious flavor without being concentrated in sugar. Will definitely be back for the top tier service and very relaxed ambiance.

INCREDIBLE bakery, burger, coffee, and service! On a Saturday morning, there was a line out the…read moredoor and down the street! We were given menus to look at while we waited so by the time we got to the counter, we were ready to order. The baked goods aren't on the menu, so when we walked by the counter filled with croissants, kouign amann, bear claws, apple pie, cheese cakes, it was hard to choose what we wanted!! We ordered: the Alamo Burger: a 8 oz wagyu beef smash burger , served with a fried egg, caramelized onions, cheese on a crispy croissant bun. It was incredible and worth the 15-20 minute wait! Almond croissant - a monster sized, flaky croissant with a generous almond filling. Guy Fieri highlighted this croissant on his DD&D show. It's probably a million calories not worth it! Tequila strawberry tres leches croissant - a small, cream filled croissant with strawberries. This was our least favorite. My husband didn't like the filling, I didn't like the sogginess of the croissant. Coffee - really good brewed coffee with free refills. We plan to go back a few more times while we're in town!!

One thing I wish they had done was give us directions after ordering so we knew to look for a photo to upload while we waited. The matcha drinks were much needed since it was hot outside. Iced Vanilla Brown Sugar Matcha (Large 20 oz $7.25) + Oat Milk ($0.50): Not too sweet and you can actually taste the matcha. My husband preferred this one since it was less creamy and more balanced. Iced Mango Matcha (Large 20 oz $7.25) + Oat Milk ($0.50): Very strong mango flavor and the mango cold foam is quite creamy. A very flavorful drink which I liked but the mango overpowered the matcha a bit.
