It was my first time here and I can promise it wont be my last. The interior is clean and spartan but in a way that lets you know that coffee and tea are the main attractions. Their menu is small, which I think is a big plus. Too many choices can just muddy the water and I know I would rather have a couple great choices than a plethora of mediocre ones. I ended up being there longer than I originally thought so the cappuccino I got was followed by the best cold brew Ive ever had (Portland and Seattle included). The seating was ample for the mostly short visits people were making. For those of us spending extra time there were tables, a common area, and even window benches perfect for a cozy couple or a procrastinating student. The food selection was small but they are not billing themselves as a good place so no reason to take away anything. I think this place could expand to use all of its square feet and possibly branch out into open mic nights and local talent. They certainly have made a good first impression on not only me, but all of their smiling faces in and out of their doors.

Finally a coffeehouse in Belleville with baristas that know how to make espresso drinks...and latte art. Plus a roaster that knows how to draw flavors out of beans without over roasting them! They dont have a lot of fancy fluff in their drinks, but true coffee lovers will rejoice at their simplicity. This place has huge potential if they can keep their quality as demand grows.

Please take a moment to check out this well renovated coffee place: Balance Coffee and Tea. Fabulously roomy, great coffee and the employees are very congenial. Love their smiles whenever I come in for a cup of coffee. Also, my fav yogurt is now sold there by Windcrest Dairy. Thank-you Marshall and staff!

Relaxed atmosphere perfect for catching up with a friend or some reading. Timeless style, friendly staff, and options you dont usually have in the area! More espresso-based and veg friendly. Very environmentally friendly. Location and building offer character. I love it here!

Wonderful artisan coffee roasted and ground in house accompanied by delicious pastries. Warm and cozy environment, situated in an old train depot. My favorite is the salted caramel latte with almond milk and light caramel sauce. Im happy theyre here. Give them a try.

I LOVE the ambiance and set-up of the building. The nitro brew iced coffee is amazing. However, the place needs to change some things to attract more customers. It is always desolate.

Love this place, prices are a little high, but the quality justifies the cost. Baristas are top notch and coffee tastes great.

A great pour of espresso roasted on the spot. Marshall has created a friendly and comfortable atmosphere to be proud of.

It has a nice atmosphere but the chai was very weak and there was a nude painting hanging on the wall that bothered me.
