We love this coffee shop in downtown Bend. Spacious, modern style, and great customer service. We had a latte and golden milk and both were delightful! Parking: Up to 2 hour parking.

The breakfast sandwich and coffee were good. I loved the decor. The cut wood ascents were really pretty.

All flash, no flavor. Maybe I caught them on a bad day or my expectations were too high. Generally when I see coffee shops selling mid-high end home coffee gear or serving multiple single origin light roasts, I expect that they will be serving high quality filter and espresso but this was not the case. Every drink served to my group was under extracted (sour tasting) and even the less knowledgeable coffee drinkers in our group noted this. The coffee had potential but was not being extracted properly due to the rush, lack of training, or lack of care. I observed baristas not weighing their dose and carelessly auto-tamping the grounds. I was discouraged by the lack to attention to detail. I did come during busy hours, but they had only 2 staff members on a Sunday morning with a line out the door. I would also rather wait for good coffee than get bad coffee fast. I would recommend a skip on this coffee shop since there are other shops with better coffee, less people, and shorter waits. If you are looking to purchase home brewing gear, you can purchase here, supporting a local business while getting solid products from larger companies like Fellow, Technivorm, Ratio, and Baratza. You also skip the shipping.
