It was worth the sugar buzz! And honestly, I was pretty excited that I could order such a fun drink since they used an oat milk for the base. I'm glad I chose Velodrome over the other coffee shops in the area! 2025 update: They are still slinging incredible coffee drinks over here! They also have a pastry case along with a limited food menu: a few sandwich options and a waffle. Unfortunately, none of their food options are vegan so I couldn't try any. One option would go a long way!

I ordered a cold brew coffee and the barista was kind and considerate enough not to befoul it with ice at my request; the coffee itself had its soft bitterness carefully balanced by a warm flavor profile that had comfortable undertones of chocolate in perfect compliment to the cozy atmosphere offered by the rainy day. I was fortunate enough to be able to reserve time in the conference room upstairs for a quieter experience than the rest of the store. It afforded me a lovely view of Marquette in order to better enjoy the weather and enough space to take frequent breaks from sitting as is recommended by healthcare professionals! But the chair was quite comfortable as well, while the conference room's table was more than spacious enough for my needs.

My go-to is the honeysuckle latte, which is delicious. Today, I tried the white chocolate cardamom latte and it was so good, definitely would get again. I also had the avocado toastie, which I order every time, since it is the best avocado toast I've ever had (my qualifications: I have avocado toast every morning, and always order it when it's on the menu). Additionally, it has a funky vibe with all of the mismatched chairs and it's super cute in there. I had the luxury of sitting in the bean bag chairs today and they were cozy. Lastly, I highly recommend taking some of their beans home with you - my fave is always the roaster's choice, with northwoods being a close runner-up. They will even grind the beans for you if you need them ground. Overall, this place is a 10/10, I couldn't recommend it more.

The bakery is amazing and it would be hard to select what to taste, except that I was a woman on a mission. I stopped in the week before Fat Tuesday. Placing the order was easy and took only moments to complete. I returned for Mardi Gras and the bakery was understandably busier. There were folks that failed to plan ahead, so their paczki pleasure was impacted. Me, I walked in, the same helpful person was retrieving orders and I picked up my pre-paid dozen quickly. The paczki were amazing and brought me right back to Michigan. The paczki we had in MN were good, but they aren't the same. And I've honestly never had paczki that were SO filled. And the fillings were so fresh, so perfectly balanced with the pastry. We tried six varieties (oof, yeah!) and loved them all. The prune paczki is an easy favorite, being traditional, but that Bavarian Cream was sublime. I was completely spoiled. It was fun that my first visits here were for 'holiday shopping,' which makes me look forward to coming back and trying more yummy baked items!
