Quaint Coffee Experience

Smell of roasted coffee beans from outside were like a siren’s call. The entire store is covered with different coffee brewing products of all shapes and sizes sandwiched along the walls with a large, well cared for coffee roaster that looks like it hasn’t rested in over 20 years. The coffee menu is straightforward, and clearly the roasting and running of the coffee house is a labor of love. That being said, the owner/clerk is not the friendliest man I’ve ever run into. The sales side seems like a necessary evil for the owner. Tried the Royal Milk Tea w/ Jelly, and it was just alright, more like milk with slowly dissolving milk tea jelly, heavenly for a warm day, but less than ideal for autumn/winter. If you’re in the market for expertly roasted beans, then visit. I’ll give the place one more try and order a coffee drink to sample the coffee instead of the fringe drinks.
