“If you really want to enjoy the coffee and its notes and flavors, please drink it black.”

Five stars for food, service and atmosphere. Roger called it legit small-batch coffee, roasted in-house from beans imported from Ethiopia, and singled out the welcome from Dave behind the counter. Originally recorded from Roger's Google Maps profile with only an inferred 2025 date -- corrected once the same review (with photos) was found on Yelp, dated and sourced exactly.
