Not bad at all, but not the best Ive had. Itemized below: 4.5-star service 4-star mixed coffee drinks 3-star espresso drinks (preparation/mixing/ratios) Granted, Im pretty spoiled with my coffee, and am much more into European-style espresso drinks. My friend very much enjoyed the sweetened latte, other than being very milky. I ordered a cortado. First attempt was not well mixed (too bubbly), but the barista (Amanda) was kind enough to make me another one. Second attempt was MUCH better (no art, but thats a minor pesky detail... still tasted great and milk was well mixed). My only real complaint is that its not a true cortado. The milk:coffee ratio is a bit off because the cups they serve the cortado are too large (~5.5-6 ounces). It ends up being more milky (~1:2 ratio), resembling closer to a latte. As I mentioned, my friend found the latte VERY milky (otherwise great) Ive been to many coffee shops around the country, so i found this unusual. Of course, you can ask for it less milky, but for me there is always a supreme satisfaction in seeing the milk just barely overfill a 4-ounce glass. #coffeenerd Worth a try, perhaps a 2nd one. I hear a lot of good things about this Yoni guy...

We were really looking forward to this place opening up because there are very few cool coffee shops to hang out at around here. If youre a left leaning socialist loving comrade, this is the place for you, they know better than you do what to order. You want cream in your coffee? Absolutely NOT! You will get your coffee the way the elite centralized coffee planners deem is best for you. Want something sweet? Call me a knuckle dragging taxpayer living in fly-over country, but curdled bean cake (or whatever that soggy tasteless thing was) doesnt do it for me. And the prices! Maybe they could have you fill out an income statement so that "wealthy" customers could subsidize the coffee for the rest of us, from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs for coffee. In short, if you want a cool place to be told what to order and what is good for you, and you want to pay handsomely for the privilege, this is the place for you. Rumor has it Soros is scoping this place out to hold a BLM "strategy" meeting, they can certainly afford it.

I absolutely love this place! Everyone treats you with the utmost respect in a clean, open environment. The decor is incredible and the products are fantastic. Ive eaten multiple meals daily here...the parfaits are always fun and creative. The salad is out of this world. Now on to the coffee....i had the egghead and it was incredible, i used to hide the taste if bad coffee with a splash of milk and 2 splendas. When Brittney told me "no additives" i brushed it off as a joke.. When i looked around to add ny fixes and couldnt find any the joke was on me. I decided to try it while she hapoiky made me a latte, i promptly cancelled the latte anf discovered what i was drinking was heaven in a cup. The taste of blue berries and lemon are the flavor of coffee. The dark roast ive always thought was stronger was actually jusy burnt! I signed up for the coffee of the month club and now have beans for home too. I even got advice on home brewing and equipment. This was more an experience and education than i ever expected.

Coffee lovers paradise. No snacks. Just awesome coffee. Been a while since I wrote a review but this place is worth it. Consistently the highest quality coffee Ive had. I will drive far out of my way to get one of Yonis mochas. Ive had mocha from Vancouver to Boston and everything in between. This is bar non the best legal mocha Ive had. I say legal because he cannot serve raw unprocessed milk and such in a commercial establishment so he uses the absolute best legal ingredients Ive ever seen within those boundaries. And it shows in the flavor. Wow. Yonis "No Soup For You!" purist attitude is what keeps this place a coffee lovers paradise. His sometimes gruff attitude gives the place an even more eclectic vibe that seems to attract some absolutely awesome people. And Yonis actually a pretty good guy under that gruffness too. Dont come here looking for Starbucks. Come here because you want a REALLY F-ing Great Coffee!

Pretty hip coffee joint. They have a nice selection of single origin coffees available on pourover and on display for purchase in whole bean bags. The gentlemen outside the establishment serving sunday brunch had some excellent southern style food with a modern flare to it. I do think the website could use a little more detail and organization rather than the random jpegs that seem to be up there currently. Also, the menu seems to take an entire page that basically says no cream or sugar when it should have information about the single origin selection available. When Im waiting in line i want to know what the coffees are, where they came from, and how they were processed. I also find it rather odd that a place pretentious enough to deny people additives does not have any coffee bags on their shelf that are under 12 days old. Minor gripes but cant argue with the quality of the coffee, tasty stuff.

I would avoid this company and proceed to another local coffee shop. My biggest complaint is the snobbery and ridiculousness of refusing to serve a customer their chosen add-on. I asked the barista for milk with my coffee. She said "we dont do that here." I asked if I could pay for milk and she flat out said she cannot provide me with milk or sugar. Then she went on a diatribe about how they source their coffee from specific regions, in fair trade, and then lightly roast them. Sad! These hipsters fascists are ignoring the cultural element of coffee in the regions where they are grown - THEY DRINK IT WITH LOTS OF MILK. Besides that, this is America and the customer is always right. I would even pay an outrageous add-on fee for a side of milk. Please support freedom of choice and go to another coffee shop.

This is the absolute best tasting coffee in Fort Lauderdale! Not overly roasted, and with a varied selection. When you come in you are generally greeted by smiling locals who will treat you to rousing conversation, while often times you will also find a vacationer in the mix, on the hunt for a spectacular shot of espresso. Everyone will find what they are looking for... Unless you want to add cream and sugar to your beautiful coffee... Then you will receive a lesson on why that is robbing you of a proper experience. Dont be fooled by sugary gimmicks... Come have a taste of the real magic!

Five stars for the quality of beans and the style of cold brew. Phenomenal coffee, really. But, for the actual amount of coffee for the price, I cringe. Also the owner suggested my coffee request was an incorrect or inauthentic coffee (americano) Which I understand if that isnt a selection on the menu then fine, I have my second preference and even a third. It was the snarky delivery that didnt sit well. The interior is beautiful, I can see the appeal, this place just isnt for me. Read the menu and only order from said menu, is my suggestion

I felt compelled to write a review after watching a 60 year old man have a fit similar to a spoiled kid. The guy insisted that because he was a local guide he was entilted to both breaking the house rules and get his drink for free because he was a local guide, and a traveling guide. The owner promptly asked him to leave after realizing no possible way of accomodating him. This place is great, clean and with fantastic vibes. The coffee is amazing and unparalleled anywhere ive beeb
