This one’s my favorite coffee shop it’s right outside of Nordstrom’s and part of Nordstrom’s inside Stonebriar Mall. It has a good variety of coffee I like the dark mocha but the plus about this coffee shop is the drip coffee is unlimited refills. Not all the employees here will inform you of that but there was a really nice lady I wish I could remember her name but she let me know one day and ever since now my hubby goes and gets the refills when he’s with me.

Drip Coffee – Menu with Prices – 729 Saluda Ave, Columbia

This was another successful find thanks to Yelp. After making a Costco run the next thing on our agenda was to find a good coffee shop and I rather support a local business than go with Starbucks. So that’s how we found Drip, it’s was such a cute little hipster coffee shop, downtown Columbia just minutes away from the breathtaking University of South Carolina. There was a bit of a line and inside was packed ( which is always a good sign). But service was still pretty fast and very pleasant. I ordered my dad a vanilla latte which he said was really good and it even came with a cool coffee art and i went with a chai latte which was amazing! This was just a fast in and out run but Drip had such an inviting atmosphere, I totally got Pacific NW coffee shop vibes ( with cool artwork and such hung throughout) and their music playlist was on point. I can see why Drop is a local gem.

Cracken Coffee Roasters – Menu with Prices – 520 128th St. SW. Ste# A3, Everett

it’s a pretty quiet and small coffee shop but spacious enough with tables inside to sit down at. they have quite a few menu options (more than what i’ve seen at other coffee shops) including your standard latte, americano, drip coffee, etc. and other Cracken specialities! i recommend the caffe mezzo! it’s 1/2 americano + 1/2 latte and is the perfect warmth and flavor – definitely not too sweet which i appreciate. pro: + delicious coffee + variety of drinks and pastries + not too expensive + clean and spacious + nice lighting + quiet ambiance; not too loud or busy con: – location is not the best. not the safest or most interesting area (then again, you’re in middle of everett) if you’re hanging out with your friends or visiting. mainly just the albertson’s, small sno-isle library, and other businesses nearby. overall, i recommend this place if you just want a quiet & bright coffee shop with coffee that’s delicious and not too expensive. i would give this place a 4.5-4.75 star rating! side note: they close @5pm! my friend and i sat down with our coffees and started talking around 2pm. we didn’t realize we had stayed there for 3hrs already but the lady started vacuuming (kind of distracting) and cleaning up and eventually told us she had to close up ?

Froth On Franklin – Menu with Prices – 85 Franklin St, Jersey City

FROTH on Franklin is such a cute little coffee shop with two amazing owners that really make you feel at home. Inside the shop you have some fun seating options, you can sit by the window in a built out booth (not too comfy) or a long high top table that you’ll have to share with other peeps. I visited FROTH bright and early on a Saturday with my fiancé we had two drip coffee’s, an almond croissant (my favorite), and an Apple turn over which comes with a side of vanilla ice cream. A very nice twist on breakfast LOL. Everything was warm gooey and delicious. Parking is limited to street parking so you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for a spot. I’ll definitely be back to try some other fun food and drink options.

Restoration Cafe – Menu with Prices – 38 N Fort Harrison Ave, Clearwater

This is a pleasant little coffee shop that is affiliated with Clearwater’s Restoration Church. There is little religious imagery and the vibe is similar to many small town coffee shops I’ve been to. The atmosphere is relaxed, appropriate for families, and not at all hipster. There were the usual folks on laptops at tables you’d expect from an independent coffee shop. The drip Kenya we had was excellent and sourced from Hemisphere Coffee Roasters out of Ohio. The barista was very knowledgeable about the coffee, the sourcing, and made a fresh pot just for my friend and me. The only note to consider is that there wasn’t any food available. Other than that, this is a place I can easily recommend for a quality cup o’ Joe.

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!

Pressed Juicery – Menu with Prices – 40756 Winchester Rd Space 206, Temecula

I was so excited when this was opening because I love going to sprouts and buying their Pressed Juice products. The only problem was the employees. That’s why I gave it a three star review. I waited in line for the freeze which I should add-since the employees won’t inform you-that you need to go to the left side of the store for the freeze and the right side of the store for the pressed juice products. The girl came out of the back to help a family when I was waiting in line. She should of asked who was next but instead helped out the family when I’ve been waiting for the same thing they wanted longer than the family that walked in. The problem was when I did inform them that I was waiting for the ice cream the girl gave me an attitude problem. After I dealt with the attitude problem from the young girl working there. Her coworker informed me there’s two different lines. How would a new customer that’s never been in there know how the lines work when the employees themselves don’t communicate with you but give attitude to the situation? There should be signs inside the store or…pressed Juicery employees should communicate so another situation like this could be prevented. The two employees there had two annoyed family’s with the situation at hand. The employees didn’t even apologize to me or the other family about there rudeness. And told us about the two different lines once we were paying definitely won’t be going back there if those employees give me attitude every time I go in. I never felt so uncomfortable in my life.

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.

Offset Coffee – Menu with Prices – 24416 Crenshaw Blvd #1, Torrance

I can’t… 1st Visit: Passed by this coffee shop a few times. A friend suggested we meet there. Noticed the construction going on. We managed to get a parking space in front of the coffee shop but parking was super tight. When we walked in to order, we noticed that the (owners/ managers) people who seemed to be part of the coffee shop were talking in the middle of the small coffee shop but did not greet us which was ok, but they were in the way. We stood in line, but somehow went unnoticed to the employees for a few minutes. Because we were meeting a friend, we couldn’t just leave. Finally, I got the attention of the lady behind the counter and I ordered pastries and coffees. Meanwhile, i noticed that the 2 gentlemen who seemed to be part of the operations kept opening the door and the asphalt smell kept creeping into the coffee shop. I noticed that a customer left because she couldn’t sit outside (because of the smell). My lavender latte was average but their avocado toast was pretty good. Also tried their iced Horchata, it was good but a bit too sweet. Spent $69 on semi good lattes, and good roasts. Promised myself I’d visit them again before writing a review. 2nd Visit: Went with my sister as she lives close by. Service was 4/10. Again, we were the only 2 in line and there were 2 employees behind the counter but yet it took several minutes to greet us. The Horchata was sweeter this time than last. My sister loved her rose latte but her avocado toast tasted tangy (maybe too much lemon)? There were only 5 people inside the place but the parking was full so we had to park next door. Spent $36… I can’t go back to a place that was disappointing 2x. Really sad. Was REALLY hoping it would be my go to coffee shop

Happy Goat Coffee Co. (Rideau/Cumberland) – Menu with Prices – 229 Rideau St, Ottawa

From the surface this is a very nice looking space but it is not a practical coffee shop to study in or read with the loud punk and pop music playing on a regular basis. I’ve dropped by a few times when in the area but it’s always the same. It’s great if you are into that but I myself find it a bit too much and very distracting. How anybody can work on a serious project or delve into a book without putting in earplugs is beyond me. Their coffee is alright, nothing special; at $3 for a drip coffee though you would at least hope that the barista would have some knowledge as to what is being brewed and how it tastes. This could be improved on in the future.

12100 Coffee & Communitas Menu with Prices 12100 Old Seward Hwy, Anchorage

On our way from Anchorage to the Kenai area we happened to stop in here for a nice refreshing breakfast and coffee before making the trek. The seating was open, decor was pleasant, and the employees were super nice and helpful! Between 4 of us we ordered a fair medley of variety and no one seemed anything other than pleased with their meal. I had a bacon egg and cheddar sandwich that was flavorful, well ratio of ingredients, and the bacon pieces stayed well on the sandwich while I ravaged it. I’m not one for fancy coffee drinks, but the drip coffee was also very solid. While I live in the lower, if I were in town more often I would definitely eat at his place. Burritos looked great that a few in our group ordered

Apricot Coffee House – Menu with Prices – 3138 Losantiville Ave, Cincinnati

I was so excited for this to open! Pleasant ridge doesn’t have a large coffee shop presence like Oakley and Hyde Park. Actually, I think at this time, it’s the only coffee shop. And it’s a pretty good one at that. I love that they have all different styles of coffee there. Their vanilla syrup is made in house (not sure about others), and I love it because it isn’t overly sweet. They offer a ton of milk alternatives if you need them, including oat milk (if you haven’t tried…you must! Super creamy.) I plan on exploring the menu more but I’ve had a latte and drip coffee. Would love to see an iced coffee. I don’t think the cold brew has been working out for them. The owners are really great, from what I could tell. Im happy to support their business, and can’t wait to see this coffee shop grow over the next few years! Parking: can be difficult…if the bank is closed, you could park there but I wouldn’t advise it during their operating hours. Street parking available but not always open.

Sputnik Coffee Company – Menu with Prices – 2057 W 51st St, Chicago

Wow, I have never found a bag of 8 oz. coffee whole beans this reasonable in price: $6+tax (as of 02/23/2019). On top of that, they have dollar drip coffee. The only drawback is that I don’t live in the south side, but my CTA monthly pass or Smart Car will get me there when I can. I found “Sputnik Coffee Company” on Yelp sometimes ago and was intrigued by how little they charge for the same item in comparison to other hipster, frou frou, and franchised coffeeshops. Nevertheless, the quality of products wasn’t compromised. I had the regular drip coffee and it was definitely strong. They also carry pastries, tea beverages, craft coffee, and company merchandise. There are a gender-neutral restroom, a few high chairs against the windows, and a community table with seating squeezed in this tiny corner real estate. Perhaps it was a Saturday early afternoon when hubby and I visited this establishment. I noticed that the two (2) staff members were taking their time and interacted with the patrons. Essentially, they elevated a small business to a place for community outreach. It’s always delightful for me to witness people coming from all walks of life exchanging in conversations. The market for another coffee lounge may already be saturated in the north side Chicago. However, it is quite refreshing to see “Sputnik Coffee Company” occupying the southeast intersection of Hoyne and 51st. I sincerely hope they continue to do well through people’s word of mouth and social media exposure.
