Anchorhead Coffee opens in Bellevue, giving all other coffee shops in Bellevue a run for its money! I’m a fan of Anchorhead Coffee, so when I learned they were opening a Bellevue location, I knew it was gonna be my new jam. I set up a coffee meeting here and arrived early, so I could do some work with a coffee and snack in hand. On a weekday in the morning, the line was comprised of the Bellevue work crew, especially since Anchorhead is located by several tech companies, including Microsoft, in the same tower. Several people ordered their coffee to go, which worked out for me since I had plans of setting up shop at one of the tables. The space isn’t large, so if you plan to work here with a group, you may be fighting for a seat. I ordered the Nitro Mint Latte and a Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie. The Nitro Mint Latte is made with cold brew, milk of your choice and a housemade mint syrup. It was awesome! I really liked that it was made with cold brew, giving it a less-acidic and more smooth taste. The mint was abundant, but didn’t taste artificial. I chose oat milk with my drink, which I recommend. I would happily order the nitro mint latte again. And whenever I see chocolate with sea salt I just have to have it. Something about the salty flavor bringing out the chocolate! My cookie was soft and crispy on the edges, which was yummy. Glad to have Anchorhead Coffee in downtown Bellevue…and it’s open on the weekends and stays open ’til 7pm. They serve damn good coffee, make their own syrups, including Intrigue Chocolate for the chocolate syrup (and sell their chocolate bars!), and have small bites. I have my eye on the biscuit sandwich for whenever I need breakfast. But coffee is a must here.

RISE Cafe – Delancey – Menu with Prices – 79 Delancey St, New York

RISE Brewing Co’s nitro cold brew on tap is a creamy dream — it pours out looking like there must be milk in there, but there is no milk, sugar or calories in their Original Black flavor. Lately, they’ve come out with some new lattes — two of them are made with oat milk, which is my favorite non-dairy alternative. One is a straight Oat Milk Latte, and the other is a Mocha (which is like a caffeinated chocolate milk). They also have a Classic Latte, for the dairy-inclined. These sound crazy, but my personal favorites are their citrus flavors — the Blood Orange, and particularly the Lemonade. It tastes like an Arnold Palmer, but with more caffeine. It’s 50% organic lemonade, so I really like it best ice cold, or over ice, and I don’t add anything to it. This new cafe also has a few seats, so it’s a great spot to cozy up with a coffee and knock out a short bit of work, or read while hiding from a summer (or autumn!) rainstorm. Love the vibes, keep it up!

24 South Coffee House – Menu with Prices – 24 S Front St, Wilmington

I love it here! Multiple choices around the area for coffee but I come here for specifically for my caffeinated beverage of choice. Nitro Cold Brew! I typically judge nitro brews against Starbucks as I personally feels they have been very consistent in the quality of their Nitro Brews. That being said, the nitro brew here is smoother and had a slightly lighter roast taste when compared to Starbucks. They also have it in a 24 oz which is awesome!! The store itself has a nice ambiance and the staff have always been friendly and accommodating. My wife has other coffee drinks here which have tasted good when she had me sip on them. Unfortunately, I don’t know the types of coffee/espresso they were lol! Definitely stop by for the Nitro Brew!!

Shuteye Coffee – Menu with Prices – 137 W 116th St, New York

Experience 1. Sampled cold brew and hot brew 2. Ordered cold brew au lait style (almond milk) 3. Bought cranberry granola bar and chocolate chip cookie. Assessment 1. Their roasted beans from Colombia when brewed cold contain flavor that is subtly fruity and smooth in texture. These same beans brewed hot contain similar flavor that is bolder and smokier. I prefer a the cold brew for these beans 2. The first order, though great in taste, had too much almond milk for an au lait. I ordered the same drink again but with less milk and it tasted just right with the coffee dominating in flavor. I suspect the light color of the brew may have played a factor in allowing the milk to saturate it much more easily. 3. I have not eaten these yet but will update once I so. Service The gentleman who assisted me today was very kind and approachable. He offered me samples of their available brews without me even asking. This is so important because it instantly personalizes the coffee drinking experience for the customer. He was knowledgeable about his coffee and its origins. This man made the experience very pleasurable.

Commonwealth Joe Coffee Roasters Menu with Prices 520 12th Street South Suite 150 Suite 150, Arlington

…..and they know their stuff. They have nitro, drip coffee. You can get hot or cold brew coffee and they have some cute non-coffee based drinks to try. Some based in kombucha, and it fits appropriately in this cute coffee shop. You can get a growler of cold brew if you are so inclined. I feel kindred while rolling my eyes at the dude ahead of me trying to fashion a caramel macchiato-tini thing. Dude, it’s coffee and you have a choice of leaving room for milk in the cup or not. Keep it moving, dear.. I have spied board games in a back room that is curtained off and I imagine they have some secret-handshake-members board game Sunday where they drink only nitro cold brew in pint glasses. This place is a quirky, solid place for really good coffee and nice folks.

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.

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.

Ali’i Coffee Co. – Menu with Prices – 35 S Beretania St, Honolulu

It’s official, this is hands down my favorite coffee shop ever. I was recommended to try this place which is known for their various cold brew and coffee items as well as their yummy flatbreads and I am so glad I finally got to try it! First off, it should be known that I am not a coffee drinker; I’m addicted to tea. However, I do love ube so I tried their taro ube latte while my friend got the nitro cold brew. We also shared their prosciutto flatbread. Even as a non-coffee drinker, the ube latte was really delicious! In a subtle yet noticeable way, the ube is really light and somewhat kicks in at the end of your sip. The nitro cold brew was really smooth but quite strong (so this is probably a favorite for those that need that extra punch). The flatbread was also phenomenal! I usually don’t enjoy the saltiness of prosciutto, however the meat was toasted making it taste more like bacon which went along with the vinegary and sweet tastes of the balsamic. One of the co-owners also gave us some samples of their Hibiscus cascava tea and the “King” cold brew which contained chocolate, cream and coconut. I cannot emphasize anymore on how delicious the tea was. It starts of floral which then becomes a refreshingly sweet taste that fills your tastebuds. The tea has honey mixed it which accompanies the “tangy” taste of fruity teas. What’s even more fascinating is that the tea is prepared in a cold brew style. The King cold brew was also really yummy! Again, I don’t really drink coffee, however it was creamy yet a perfect amount of sweet which made it addicting to drink. A bonus is that most, if not all their ingredients are locally produced; love the support local mantra going on! Service/Ambience: The workers are super friendly and nice. They are very helpful in finding the right drink for you and will even engage with their customers if they aren’t catering to the many individuals who will come for their coffee fix. The shop itself is a small yet aesthetic coffee shop and the ambience is a very “chill” and trendy vibe that allows you to enjoy your experience. Parking: Parking in downtown itself is a challenge, however there are various metered parking stalls nearby. If not, the Municipal parking lot is only a street over and their rates are fairly cheap! ($0.75 for every half hour – which is more than enough to grab your coffee and food) I definitely felt the caffeine hit after our drinks but I absolutely loved everything that was served and would most definitely return!

WB Law Coffee – Menu with Prices – 280 Wilson Ave, Newark

Can’t praise these guys enough, family run awesome service & fast to respond. Be it delivery or repairs for your varied coffee makers. Also make sure to try the Nitro Cold Brew! Not only is the taste the best cold brew I have ever had & I have had many, it will crank you up when feeling the need for a quick boost. Did I mention the taste?! We have had many products over the years and have seen tremendous quality improvements & additions can’t go wrong with Law Coffee! Highly recommend them as a vendor the service beats all others.

Lo/Cal Coffee and Market – Menu with Prices – 2214 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica

Thanks Yelpers for leading me here. The first time I visited Lo/Cal was yesterday and I had a major episode (out of this world migraine), so I figured some coffee would cure the problem. I ordered an iced latte w/ oat milk and a spinach empanada. Great little snack, if you ask me. I would, however, omit the cheese if I could… But ya can’t – oh well. Next day, which was today. I came back and tried the chicken empanada. Not as good as the spinach, in my opinion! This time I was introduced to a secret menu item, which was the beloved iced honey lavender latte! Yaaaaas, it was great. Lightly sweetened, but I would’ve liked a bit more of lavender notes in the drink. I’ll mention it next time. I would hella recommend this place whether you’re jetting to work or making a stop here on the weekend. See ya soon… Maybe I will finally have the courage to try the nitro cold brew during another visit!

Reputation Beverage Co- Lansing – Menu with Prices – 800 E Michigan Ave, Lansing

Geez oh man. Don’t get me started. I’ve been here twice and have been supremely disappointed both times. The first time, drinks took forever to make, weren’t great and the food truck fare was so-so. However, I live nearby and really want this area to be successful. So, I went back last week. I intended to get an iced coffee thinking it was a safe bet. Upon visiting I found out they don’t have iced coffee, but they do have cold brew. For $4.50 or nitro for $5. The man working there talked me into the nitro since he gave me a sample and said it was award winning. He’s correct, it was good. But that’s where it went wrong. I asked for him to leave room for cream, and he suggested coconut milk. I agreed. Then he rang me up. It ended up costing $6.09. Where’d that extra dollar come from? Apparently it was an up charge for the coconut milk. He never mentioned an up charge and just added it without my approval. I was so angry I was speechless. I’m kicking myself for not saying something. In conclusion, I will absolutely never go back, and I buy coffee at Strange Matter or Blue Owl at least once a week. Crafted Bean lost a potential regular, and I would strongly suggest you travel down the street to Strange Matter unless you want to spend SIX DOLLARS AND NINE CENTS FOR A COLD BREW.

Tom Sawyer Country Coffee – Menu with Prices – (in the Kendall Yards neighborhood), 608 North Maple Street, Spokane

This is a great coffee shop. My friends from the bay area load up when they come to visit, but you can buy online too. The coffee is roasted in shop. You can meet the owner, who is kind and knowledgeable, and smell all the different roasts. The cold brew is not to be missed, both as a pour and on nitro. The nitro brews are made per cup, with a system that pulls nitro straight from the air instead of individual canisters. The staff is also very talented. You won’t be disappointed if you ask for recommendations of fun drinks. I recommend the undertone ð??? They also have a selection of teas and smoothies for non coffee drinkers, as well as the “Golden Latte,” which is a tasty tumeric based drink that is full of awesome antiinflammatory properties! They have a great atmosphere. The shop is SO clean. The patio is great and they have a big garage door that opens to make the shop feel open air. They also have a conference room available, which I plan to utilize in the future! They also just got ice cream, and it is definitely some of the best in town. Do not miss the salted caramel pretzel. They recommend it affogato style, with an espresso shot poured on top. I have been here several times and I love it. I have never had a bad experience.

The Kidd Coffee Co. – Menu with Prices – 441 Vine St Suite 2-J, Cincinnati

I cannot sing the praises of Smooth Nitro Coffee enough! If you are a coffee (or tea) drinker at all you’re sure to love their cold brew and teas that are infused with nitrogen. Think of how creamy and delicious nitro beers are….now imagine it’s delicious cold brew that’s just as creamy and smooth! BOOM! Mind blown! All of their nitro cold brews are not only delicious, but they are under 100 calories. I honestly can’t pick a favorite. I love them all. They will let you sample as well to find what suits you. I love to mix Dark Side (dark chocolate) and Buzz’n (Hazelnut) to create a Nutella flavor. Mmm! The location is a nice central spot downtown right across the street from Fountain Square. They are in the Huntington building on Vine Street on the first floor. Just walk around the corner and you can’t miss them. I should say I would love this product no matter what, but it’s made just that much better by their incredible staff members. I honestly feel like I’m going to visit friends when I stop by on my lunch break. They truly couldn’t be any nicer and are all extremely knowledgeable regarding their products. Stop by the next time you’re downtown, or check out their Facebook page because they sometimes serve at festivals and events around town as well.
