This is one of my favorite study spots. The owner and workers are all very friendly, and I always receive top quality coffee, specialty drinks, and pastries! Single Origin Pour Over ———————– Usually I order Cappuccinos, but they do the pour over so well here! I forgot what beans I picked, but to be honest, I have not had a bad pour over from here. If you love quality black coffee, I recommend getting yourself one! Coffee Cake ———— The pastries seem to look and taste similar to the ones at Intentional Coffee, and I mean this in a good way! The owner told me that they receive the pastries from a bakery, and they sure are tasty! This Coffee Cake has just the right amount of sweetness to pair with the Pour Over. Deliciousness that is perfect for a pick-me-up! ————- This coffee shop hasn’t been around for very long, but I highly recommend coming here if you have not already! A note for those who plan to come here to study: {PROS} – Good Wi-Fi (I personally never had a problem with connection or speed.) {CONS} – Limited Outlets – Except for the big table in the middle, not very comfortable seating – Bathroom is in another building next door, but access key is provided. Although it may seem like a lot of Cons vs. Pros, I mainly come here for the products, the service, and the ambience, so I do not mind tolerating these Cons!

A’Roma Roasters Coffee & Tea – Menu with Prices – 95 5th St, Santa Rosa

This isn’t a very good place to do homework Reason being is there’s limited areas where Outlets exist most of the seating is in the middle and there’s no Outlets, and then other outlets on the walls going around the back of the seating area. limited seating for the booths. They have like 20 Outlets where the booths are but like six seats which doesn’t make a lot of sense at all. A good place to do homework would be Starbucks on Mission, yulupa, Flying Goat coffee, Acre Coffee Downtown and in Montgomery Village. Aromaz to me is a good place to meet friends and have a fun time, they don’t have air conditioning so it’s always stuffy on hot days or even warm days. For me personally I’m not too into it but I’m sure others have great reasons to come here this is just my opinion.

Lineage Coffee Roasting – Menu with Prices – 3201 Corrine Dr, Orlando

Lineage is a staple at East End Market. For me it’s the best coffee in town. The first pour-over coffee I ever had was at Lineage and I don’t think I ever really knew that coffee could be better than what I had grown accustomed to until I had a pour-over here. It’s not close to me whatsoever but I will drive 20 min out of my way on occasion just to get coffee here. As far as quality, I’ve never been disappointed. The people that work here are always on point and friendly and I can honestly say that I’ve never been disappointed. Now, the line can get long and some cups can take longer than others especially the pour-over but consequently, the quality is never in question nor is the effort to provide a qaulity cup of coffee. I highly recommend Lineage to any coffee connoisseurs, you won’t be disappointed.

Albina Press – Menu with Prices – 4637 N Albina Ave, Portland

Great coffee shop! I’m always on the hunt for a good place to study as a graduate student. This place is one of my go to places to study. Prices are reasonable, not too loud, and lots of natural lighting, parking, and outlet access. Their menu is pretty simple and they do have tea pots. I usually get their chai latte. They don’t have any actual meals on the menu, but they do have pastries (cookies, muffins etc). There’s several tables here and lots of comfortable sofas. They have 4 sofas which is amazing! It might be hard to get tables next to outlets or even table seating when it gets crowded. I usually would just chill on the sofas until a table becomes free. Overall great place to chill out to get some work done or catch up with some friends. Joanne’s cafe rating for studying: Seating: 3.5/5 Wish there was more seating and bigger tables. Most of the tables are pretty small (2 seat table) and a couple of bigger tables (3 seat table). Comfortable sofas! Outlets: 3/5 Some outlets along the side of the wall. There are outlets next to the high table window seating and in the back room with the sofas. Parking: 4/5 There is free street parking for several hours. It is close to some neighborhoods so I think you can get some free parking a little further. There is also a small lot for parking. Lighting: 4/5 Pretty bright which is great for studying. Lots of natural lighting in the front room. It is darker in the backroom with the sofas. Price: 4/5 Pretty reasonable. Noise: 4/5 Not too loud and they play some pretty chill music. It can get a little loud when there are big groups of ppl chatting. Most ppl come here to get work done. Menu: 3/5 It would be better if they have sandwiches or meal items. Hours: 4/5 Great! Closes later than most coffee shops in Portland so you can get more hours of studying in the day.

Union Coffee Co – Menu with Prices – 216 W Friendly Ave, Greensboro

Union Coffee is, in my opinion, the best coffee shop in Greensboro right now. They source their coffee from Black & White Coffee Roasters, a high-quality third-wave coffee provider based near Durham, NC. I personally think most of the coffee in Greensboro tastes like campfire and cigarette ash poured through a paper filter, but the coffees provided at Union are bursting with pleasant, fruit-forward flavors. I personally recommend their pour overs, which offer rotating coffees on a regular basis as well as a consistent offering of B&W’s basic blends. Although I live in Greensboro, I first visited while I was going to school in a different state, and to my surprise, the manager, Daniel, remembered me when I came again a whole month later. Interactions like this elevate small-business experiences and add a valued layer of personality to my visits. On my most recent visit, I noticed Mac DeMarco was playing in the background, and I noted to the baristas working that I had never heard his music played in a coffee shop before. Studying was much more pleasant with “My Old Man” playing in the background than it might have been otherwise. Also, one of the barista’s offered me a piece of pizza during that same visit, free of charge. It was not listed on their menu. It was Papa John’s I think. Overall, I would highly recommend Union Coffee to anyone downtown needing am amiable place to study, have a business meeting, or meet a friend while enjoying a great cup of coffee.

Black Rock Coffee Bar Menu with Prices 20504 N E Robal Ln, Bend

Pros: Open work space Free parking Company roasts their own beans Specialized menu Pastries locally baked Juices and salads also available Outdoor seating with umbrellas Packaged beans for sale to brew at home Friendly service Cons: Ordered “for here” – got a cup to go Cappuccino was well balanced, but more like a latte- very heavy dense milk with only a little bit of foam at the top. 4/5 stars for the great space and quality of coffee, going plastic free would be a great idea. Serving coffee in ceramic wear for “here” orders would make the space that much more enjoyable!

Buona Caffe Artisan Roasted Coffee Menu with Prices 1858 Central Ave, Augusta

I don’t think you can ever go wrong with a hole in the wall unless it’s in your living room after your kids played baseball in the house…But I digress, this place is located inside of what appears to be a home so it’s right off the road near some houses. I needed a quick coffee and breakfast so I decided to pop by. 1) it’s easy to find, there’s a big sign out front so you can’t miss it. Parking can be hard but they have a gravel lot near the back. However, when I got there it was full so I just took to parking in the street. 2) they have tons of food options from pastries to sandwiches but I opted for the roasted red pepper and spinach quiche. I posted a low quality picture of it bc I got it to-go but I couldn’t wait that long to eat it. It was warm, smelled amazing and holy moly was it good! An amazing crust, toasted on the top, melted cheese and full of flavor I was honestly surprised at how good it was. 3) I’m very picky when it come to coffee and always get pour overs and this was the first pour over I’ve had in a while that I actually wished I went back to buy their beans. I got the Ethiopia roast on a pour over and it had a deep bodied flavor with chocolate undertones. Only thing that would make it better is drinking it out of a mug on my porch in the midst of a cool crisp morning. Anyway, if you’re looking for a quick coffee and breakfast or if you want a place to study, I would add this to your list.

Fiore’s Sweet Cup – Menu with Prices – 2835 SW 91st St #330, Gainesville

This local place has a ton of goodies and is good for a solid cup of coffee. Located in a place where another yogurt shop closed, this place has kept it on their menu but also added coffee. Pros- Great local small business. They have a ton of selections when it comes to coffee- made all different ways of too- lattes, cappuccinos, etc. They use local Sweetwater Organics coffee, which has a nice bold flavor depending on the roast. They also offer ice cream and frozen yogurt as well as local bakery treats from Baker Baker (also known as Amanda’s Traditional Bakeshop). I’ve also seen some selection of organic teas and drinks. It’s also a staple for the surrounding Haile/ Tower Rd. area- there’s not much in the way of local coffee shops. They also have a reward system where you can get a free coffee after 10 visits and routinely have specials on their Facebook page. It’s also very kid friendly- I always see kids in the afternoon after school doing their homework. They do have some tables inside and outside. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Cons- If you are used to sugary, frappucino style concoctions this place is not for you. They do have some flavoring syrups but not as extensive as Starbucks, which is ok in my book. Other than that-and probably the location for some people- there aren’t many cons. Overall, this little spot makes a more than decent cup of coffee at a great price. If you miss Baker Baker pastries and want a good cup of coffee, I recommend Fiore’s.

Aveley Farms Coffee Roasters Menu with Prices 1400 Aliceanna St, Baltimore

If you are looking for a chill place to get some work done while enjoying some quality coffee and minimalistic vibes, Aveley Farm is the place for you! They have very friendly staff and their coffee would definitely be on my top choices from the coffee shops I have tried in the Baltimore area. Not only do you have different syrup choices, but you can mix and match syrups to your coffee, or even try out their specialty syrups. When I visited, they had their Harbor East and Autumn Spice lattes – perfect choices for the upcoming seasons! They also have plenty of room to sit and study and of course, having outlets in coffee shops is a must, so they had that too. I never visit coffee shops without grabbing a bite to eat, so I decided to try their chocolate croissants. They were pretty tasty, however, they weren’t able to warm them, which is something I would have preferred. But other than that – the ambiance, the staff, and most importantly, the coffee were delightful. I’d highly recommend and definitely come back!

Akron Coffee Roasters Menu with Prices 30 N High St, Akron

Some may call me a coffee snob, and perhaps I am, but honestly I feel like I have pretty minimum standards when it comes to coffee shops. First and foremost, they gotta have the brew right. So often local coffee shops have a tough time getting this right; the coffee is either too weak or too acidic. Akron Coffee Roasters wins 100% on this account, I notice they serve almost exclusively pour-overs or espresso, which is great because it means you’ll never get that stale, sitting-in-the-pot-too-long flavor to your coffee. I should mention though that I didn’t see any other items on their menu such as tea or non-caffeinated beverages. It would have been nice to see even a small beverage cooler or some pastries, but I do respect that they are focusing on a single thing and doing it really well. Secondly, I love a nice relaxing vibe. I don’t feel coffee shops need to be too modern or trendy, just plenty of seating, outlets and some mellow music. Akron Coffee Roasters, although small, definitely has that going for it. There was a decent amount of people in here around noon, but I didn’t have a problem grabbing a spot and having space for my things. There were some nice vibes here with the mellow music and quiet conversations happening around me. I will say if you had some serious work to do and get distracted easily, this may not be the best place since it’s so small you do overhear conversations easily, but I personally didn’t have an issue during my visit. The last thing I look for in a coffee shop is service; no one wants to feel unwelcomed or have to deal with snobby baristas when visiting a coffee shop, and I have to say that Akron Coffee Roasters did a great job here as well. They had two baristas working when I stopped in, and both were very smiley and hospitable. I am happy to put this coffee shop at the top of my list when looking for workplaces or a quick coffee in the Akron area, which is a great thing because for so long I felt that Akron didn’t really have much in terms of quality coffee shops. Will definitely return here very soon and happy to recommend to other coffee lovers, although I am sad to report they don’t have much at all for non-coffee drinkers. TL;DR- great vibes, great brew. It’s a small space, but good amount of seating to go around. No options for non-coffee drinkers.

Roast Coach Coffee Bar – Menu with Prices – 345 Sixth Ave, San Diego

This little coffee stand outside the Marriott at Gas Lamp District is awesome! It’s great for grab and go if you’re in the area and close enough to walk up or drive up. The barista is very efficient. They have some seriously good fresh pastries. I had a raspberry one and the the next day I had a strawberries and cream one. So yummy! The first day I chose The Turk which is an iced coffee drink with muddled mint and brown sugar and cardamum. Really good. I liked it. Next day I chose the dealers choice which is more pour over, served warm, with vanilla and sugar and cream. I like how the pour over is done at the cart right in front of you In these little white drip mugs into your to-go cup. It’s pretty legit. This is a gem. Glad I found it. Try the pastries!

Angel’s Island Coffee – Menu with Prices – 7538 Memorial Pkwy SW, Huntsville

Such a cute coffee place! Huntsville is just now entering the cute/aesthetic coffee shop scene, but this place has been here since the beginning. I came here because of the proximity to S. Huntsville and the variety of options. I like to keep it simple, and I liked how their iced coffee comes with coffee ice cubes! I went 3 times in the past week, and got a different SF flavor shot each time. I couldn’t help it- they had EVERY single flavor of Torani so I had to go ham. I loved how they bring even a simple coffee to your table, and the atmosphere is overall very nice. I was able to study for a few hours each day and it wasn’t too loud even though people were coming in and out for coffee/breakfast. This is an abundance of tables and outlets for charging your electronic devices. Staff is very friendly and accommodating!

Dave’s NY Deli South – Menu with Prices – 5750 SW 75th Ct #30, Gainesville

I tried out Coffee Baby for the first time today! It was really nice to find a coffee shop to study in Gainesville on a Sunday. There’s plenty of windows with great lighting, lots of seating, and I counted many outlets. They played late 90s/early 00s music, which threw me off guard at first because it’s not music I associate with coffee shops, but I ended up loving it(I grooved while studying)! They are still getting the shop in order and the owner seemed a bit stressed. He was really nice and friendly, and talked us through the menu. I ordered an Irish Car Bomb latte, a flavor based off of the one of The Brownie Guy’s flavors. It was very sweet, and very delicious (ask for it less sweet if you’re not into that!). You can definitely tell he’s using high quality ingredients in those drinks! My friend ordered a drip coffee and a lemon poppy seed muffin, and she liked them both fine. I overheard the owner talking with another customer about drink recipes and their opinion, so I’m sure he values any input you have. I can’t wait to see what the finished product of this shop looks like, and I will definitely be back to try the gourmet brownies. They’re getting 5 starts for their enthusiasm and potential!
