Freedom of Espresso

1. Upon arriving I was greeted immediately by a very friendly face behind the counter.
   It was a pleasant surprise because usually I’m ignored or spoken to in a manner that makes me feel like an inconvenience anywhere I go especially busy coffee shops!
   It was a Saturday morning / early afternoon.

   I requested a very overly specific coffee/latte
   The gentleman behind the counter was super receptive to my specifications. And even chatted with me happily while he prepared my drink!

   Other customers arrived while I was waiting for my order. The barista still welcomed and chatted with the other customers as well multitasking and just impressively kind.

   This is exactly why I only indulge in coffee and treat myself once in a while and when I do it is at local small businesses like this.

   The coffee was kicking strong just how I like it
   It was fresh and tasty 😄
   I will be returning again and again. 🙏✨

   Not to mention the neighborhood was nice They even had little tables outside to sit in the sun and enjoy the day!

   Literally the only critique I could divulge is the lackluster decor and surroundings inside of the coffee shop. It looked as if it had only been open maybe 6 months to a year. Come to find out the location’s been open for a few years.
   I couldn’t tell the personality of the owner based on the surroundings.
   Although It was super duper clean which was awesome! It made up for the fact that it was less flashy.
   But it could definitely use some warm elements…
   Perhaps some paintings, flowers – maybe some music to set the mood or fairy lights & plants. These are all just little opinions that I think could really elevate this business! I would love to see it thrive! ☕
   Until next time freedom of espresso! 🌙

2. The drinks are never the same twice. They’re often out of ingredients. The staff is always courteous and do their best, but they need to train their baristas to make the drinks consistently and correctly. Dogs are allowed and there are plenty of places to sit. I haven’t tried any of the food items.

3. Coffee was great, bagel was delicious and service was great. Could use some more seating and a little bit of something to deaden the sound a bit. Was hard to carry on a normal volume conversation.

4. If you are vegan or have dietary restrictions they do not want your money. I asked if their flavor syrups were vegan, employee said she didn’t know. She gave an annoyed sigh and grabbed a binder plopped it down and stated in the binder it says “many of our syrups are vegan”. Unhelpful lol. Plenty of other amazing coffee shops in the area that know their ingredients and are happy to help.

5. Ordered a cold brew with espresso and a blueberry iced coffee – unfortunately, the cold brew had a nasty sweet taste to it and was some of the worst coffee I’ve had. The blueberry coffee had zero blueberry flavor to it. First time here so at least we can say we tried it. Place is clean and nice but not impressed by what we got.
