Exceeded my coffee shop experience! Small, dark, very well decorated, it was definitely worth a visit. Experience is even better when you have your two best friends with you! The owner was very meticulous about making cup taste to your expectation and looking beautiful! We ordered the flower latte, peppermint mocha, einspanner and a small order of waffles. The drinks were so dreamy! It was the perfect level of sweetness. The chocolate shavings on the einspanner is to die for! As for the flower latte, it was definitely a different order for me. It was my first time trying a flower latte, but I would definitely order it again. If you prefer a sweeter drink, I would suggest the peppermint mocha or einspanner because with you can definitely taste the espresso in the flower latte vs the sweetness, which I personally enjoy more!

Heart and Soul Coffee – Menu with Prices – 930 11th St, Modesto

Little brother wanted some coffee after having lunch. He recommended this place that is downtown. The ambiance was cool. Love the open space. I ordered a hot mocha and my brother ordered a different drink. Think it had the name of lumberjack latte but I could be wrong. The drinks were made fast but one issue. The girl made me an iced mocha and not a hot mocha. Oh well let’s run with it right. I’m actually glad I did. This iced mocha was good. Just the perfect amount of sweetness. If I had to do it all over, I would Order a non fat iced mocha. In the end, the screw up turned out to be a blessing. Thanks for the great iced mocha.

French Truck Coffee – Menu with Prices – 650 Poydras St Suite 102, New Orleans

I am not a â??coffee aficionado or expert, I just know what I want and what I love. Anyway, before we start walking around the beautiful Garden District, we stopped by at this coffee shop. We ordered Iced Mocha Latte, Oji drip Iced Coffee, â??and a â??muffin. Iced Mocha – This is my usual order in any new coffee shop that I visit, it becomes my baseline. For this particular location, their Mocha Latte is different from other Mocha Latte that I have tried. The combination of mocha and espresso give this sour taste, I think the roast of the bean is light to medium with fruity undertone which I don’t mind but not my favorite. They also put a lot of ice, but I think you can just ask them for less ice. Oji Drip Iced Coffee – The process of making this coffee is a separate attraction which you can see over the counter. The coffee itself tastesâ?? like a combination of some kind â??of tea and fruit flavor, truly not in my alley but it was a â??refreshing taste for the summer heat. Muffin – I totally forgot the name, but the softness and deliciousness of it stayâ?? with me. It was just a â??perfect pick-me-up muffin. Space – They do have a good amount of tables and chairs, where you can hang out with your friends, working, studying or just people watching. All in all, it was an okay experience, coffee was refreshing not my favorite but the muffin was amazing. I recommend to give them a try, you will have your coffee fix and an Instagramâ?? post.

Regent Coffee Roasters and Brew Bar – Menu with Prices – 249 N Brand Blvd, Glendale

This review is based strictly on my order of their iced mocha latte. First, you can tell a lot about a coffee shop from the mocha they use. I was pleasantly surprised that they make their own mocha, that is ALWAYS a plus..better than disgusting fudge chocolate that other places use. Second, I was greeted by a barista who was sitting on the counter. Like, that’s a tad bit weird for me. So my iced mocha actually tastes decent, which means their espresso beans are of high quality. Problem is that I feel like I am drinking a latte with chunks of chocolate. They clearly did not melt the chocolate, nor did they try to dilute it in any shape or form into the beverage. It’s so bad that my straw is clogged with chocolate pieces. Kinda gross. If they could just figure out how to perfectly add the ingredients together this place would be on the top of my list (maybe top 10, nowhere near top 5). The oat milk that they use is not my favorite either. Oatly is by far the best oatmilk in the market so I get annoyed when coffee shops don’t carry it. Also, way pricier than other places—and I am usually okay with paying top dollar for good coffee- this just wasn’t it. *UPDATING my review based on speaking with the owner*- Pretty happy that the owner reached out to explain the issues I discussed. I love small business and I support them 100%. This isn’t my local coffee shop so it would be unfair of me to write them off from one “unfortunate” experience. I do hope to go back and try the mocha again.

Valentine Coffee Co. – Menu with Prices – 5918 W Vliet St, Milwaukee

Update on 6/11/19 & 6/12/19: returned and tried their seasonal Lavender Latte (hot) and vanilla bean latte (hot). The lavender latte was very flora and calming and the lavender taste stayed in my mouth for a long time. The coffee itself tasted not very strong. So that is something perfect for when you feel you want not just caffeine but a bit more fun/flavor. The vanilla bean latte was very smooth, rich and sweet. But the level of sweetness was just right – I mean you would definitely say it is a sweet drink but it doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable. Previous review: I have bought bags of coffee beans from them, and they are all in season, fresh and great beans (I judged beans by their colors, smells, shapes, and the feelings when I hold them in hand). However, for some reason I never sat down and tried their latte or mocha which are recommended by many people until recently. Sooo, I went on a weekday morning to grab a large sea salt mocha (all sizes include 2 shots as standard) and a power scone. First of all, temperature of the drink was right, which was very important for an espresso drink to me. Second, the milk foam was light yet dense. Well done! Third, the drink was no over sweet but smooth and rich. In addition, the power scone which is not sweet yet dense and nutty went very well with the drink. So together, they really warmed and energized me up! Atmosphere was great. Staff were roasting or making coffee, some customers were reading, others like me were grabbing coffee for work.

Colleen’s Coffee Shop – Menu with Prices – 5755 Mountain Hawk Dr #101, Santa Rosa

This was my first time in Colleen’s. My favorite coffee drink is a mocha. Especially a “Mexican mocha”. The spices add a unique depth to the flavor of the coffee. I have had mochas everywhere I can, bakeries, bagel shops, Pete’s, Starbucks, any where coffee was sold. Most of the time the mocha offered wasn’t very good. I mean spooning Nestlé Quick into the coffee doesn’t qualify. Pete’s has been my favorite place for a regular mocha, semisweet chocolate and the right espresso, wonderful. That is until I tasted the Aztec Mocha at Colleen’s. That first sip was magic! So many things happening at once. The rich chocolate ‘melting’ in my mouth, the cinnamon bite was sharp and rich, and the sweetness completed the trifecta of coffee joy. The bread pudding muffin had to wait to be eaten. There was way too much bliss happening all at once.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf – Menu with Prices – 3350 La Sierra Ave, Riverside

This isn’t the first coffee bean place I have been to but it’s prob the last. I have been to another location and I think their drinks are just Horrible! To say the least. When I got here, there is basically nobody there. Lights are off but it doesn’t show they’re closed on yelp and there is no sign saying they’re closed! So anyways, the self check out counters are right across from the coffee shop since this is inside Ralph’s! I asked one of the employees and he pages someone and they came, I asked the lady or she worked there. She said yea I use to!! So there is nobody that is working there for some reason and I guess part of it I understand Bc their coffee sucks! I wanted to get a latte with whites chocolate mocha!! I figured they’re like Starbucks, pumps of white chocolate mocha.well maybe not. By the time I went to get yogurt and came back for my drink. The lady was gone and she made me a drink that has dark chocolate!! My drink was just left there! I think it was clear that it should have been white chocolate mocha since we had a discussion about it. Never again!

Bon Beans Organic Coffee, Tea, & Juice – Menu with Prices – 875 E 9 Mile Rd #3, Pensacola

Bon Beans is for sure a coffee shop you can go to every day and not get bored. The baristas offer a great variety of coffee drinks and even more teas. Milk substitutes (almond, soy, or coconut milk) are also offered at an extra price. Make sure to go every Tuesday for BOGO! Out of the numerous coffee shops I’ve been to. Bon Beans stands out for it’s cute and welcoming interior. There are plenty of board games and books to read along with tables and couches to study. The best drink I’ve gotten so far is the cold brew with sugar free vanilla flavoring. I like my cold brews strong and not too bitter; this one was perfect. I would not recommend the dark chocolate flavoring; it did not taste like dark chocolate and instead more like candy and did not hide the bitterness of the coffee well. I’ve also gotten the mocha frappuccino which had a rich milk chocolate flavor; I had hoped the coffee taste would be more apparent. Most recently, I tried the pumpkin spice latte and was not pleased. The latte tasted nothing like pumpkin spice and was exceptionally bitter. Perhaps I have high expectations after having a Starbucks PSL, but I would not recommend this drink from Bon Beans.

Yellowhammer Coffee – Menu with Prices – 3249 Dauphin St, Mobile

Today was my first time at YellowHammer Coffee. I will definitely be a regular customer from now on. The quality of coffee is far superior to other places I’ve been. You can tell they’ve done their homework to get the best taste around. The coffee shop is small with three barstools inside and one small table outside. They also have a drive-through which I am going to get quite familiar with soon. They really know what they’re doing here and can answer all your questions. Searching for the perfect coffee? Search no more, it’s here. The “Nitro cold brew” is super strong and smooth, if you need a jolt of energy this is definitely the ticket. One of my personal favorites is the “Blondie”, it has a mix of vanilla and caramel served hot. This is not something I thought I would like (I don’t normally like sweet coffee)but I absolutely loved it. I’ll be back for more. Of course you can’t go wrong with a regular cappuccino or latte, but for another sweet option the “Mocha frappe” is fabulous and a sure way to wake you up. They make their’s with four shots of espresso, which is perfect (most other places usually only use 1-2 shots). Because of the extra espresso, their’s is a little less sweet than the others – which I prefer. Five stars!

The Kidd Coffee Co. – Menu with Prices – 4257, 301 E 4th St ste 425, Cincinnati

Kidd Coffee was just OK. Admittedly I’m not a coffee addict, but I do like a cuppa something hot, sweet, creamy and slightly coffee-accented. And I don’t mind paying $4 for a cup as an occasional splurge, and I especially don’t mind contributing to a Starbucks competitor in the completely vain hope that competition will help check-and-balance Starbucks’ prices. I impulse bought a small Milky Way specialty coffee from the Kidd Coffee stand on a particularly blustery day. It was meeeehhhh, and the same price as a Starbucks beverage. There was nothing special or distinct or even that yummy about the flavor or presentation that made the calories worthwhile. If you would have told me that it was a caramel macchiato, vanilla latte, mocha blahblah or white chocolate mocha I would have believed it because it just didn’t have any memorable taste. I like the mixed coffee drinks at McDonald’s or Dunkin’ far better.

Eiland Coffee Roasters – Menu with Prices – 532 N Interurban St, Richardson

After reading all of those positive reviews I went to go check this place out with my friend… We were so excited honestly we thought we were gonna try one of the best coffees in Dallas. Instead, we tried the worst coffees we’ve ever had. I have no idea what we were given. I ordered an iced caramel latte and spent almost $5 on it – and it tasted like diluted coffee and diluted milk! My friend got an iced mocha and maybe it was intentional but there was powder blocks on the bottom and every time she took a sip she’d get chunks of mocha powder. I tried it too and I had the same CHUNKS of powder. If that was intentional why don’t they let it be known? TBH the barista boy probably forgot to mix the mocha and espresso- which is like step 1. Ugh I’m seriously so disappointed since this place is right by my house and it tasted like nasty water. They also don’t even have like cut ice. It looked like they broke a block of ice and gave you whatever shapes came out of it. It just wasn’t pleasant at all. Also we noticed the barista take out this “chocolate milk” looking jug out of the fridge and put it in my friends mocha. Also I don’t even know what milk they used cuz it was in this big jug and who knows how long it’s been in there. Needless to say…will never go back here. Don’t recommend this place at all. I wish I had a good experience but damn… maybe it was a bad day? Maybe it was an inexperienced barista? Maybe I’m just tryna make excuses since I read so many good reviews about this place and it ended being underwhelming? I heard their coffee beans are good to buy and people like them. But if they used their own coffee beans to make my simple latte…no thank you.

SmartBean Coffee House – Menu with Prices – 17690 NW 78th Ave suite 105, Hialeah

You don’t get to be the Duke of a location without trying a large sample of the menu and I can tell you with confidence Smartbean is legit. I’ve ordered in person, on pick up and via UberEats and the quality, texture and taste of the food has been consistent each time. My favorites include the Avocado Toast, White Chocolate Mocha and the Ham and Cheese Croissant. The white chocolate mocha is delicious! I noticed early on they use Ghirardelli products and that’s a plus because I’ve been to San Francisco and ordered directly from the factory and there products are second to none. I usually go with an extra shot of expresso to offset the sweetness a bit but that’s because I love my coffee bold and strong. They have several options including Almond milk which I usually go for. The Avocado Toast is delicious, an above average slice of toast with seasoned avocado and a poached egg on top. I like breaking the egg and letting the yolk spread on all the toast. It’s delicious !!! The croissant is extremely tasty! soft yet flaky croissant with salty sweet ham and melted cheese with egg. They have a Prosciutto version of this as well which I love because of the saltiness of the meat. I can also suggest the Beignet and Bacon wrapped dates! The service is exceptional and the staff is warm and friendly. Perfect little coffee house with a few extras for the perfect breakfast!

Poppy Seed Bakery and Café Menu with Prices 3910 W Hill Rd #102, Boise

I drove by this place for months – doing a double take each time – before I decided to pull over and try it out. And I am SO glad I did! I stopped in today for a cup of coffee in between errands, and the five minutes I spent in here made me want to come back soon. The curb appeal of Poppy Seed will lure you in, and the charm it has inside will make you want to open a book and stay a while. They have an upstairs loft seating area that overlooks the rest of the cafe as well as a few spots to sit on the first floor. Behind the counter you’ll spot a few kitchen aids and other kitchen utensils that the owner, Kim, uses to home make all of the pastries that they serve. (I didn’t try a pastry today, but I had my eye on their blackberry poppyseed scone – I’ll be coming back for that!) Today I tried out their lavender white mocha, per Kim’s suggestion. I asked her to make it a little less sweet than they normally would, and it was perfect. The lavender sort of balanced out the sweetness of the white chocolate, and the espresso flavor came through in a sublte but delicious ways. Super yummy! I’ll definitely have this again, although I’m thinking next time I’ll try out their rose mocha – it might just be me but I think that sounds DELICIOUS. But then again, I work at a flower shop so I guess it’s no surprise that I enjoy floral notes in my coffee. ? Next time your driving along hill road, I highly recommend you give these guys a try! (They’re closed in the latter part of the afternoon and on Mondays, so keep that in mind.)
