8th & Roast

My espresso tasted sour. And I didn't like my other coffee, I would have tried to order something else but the bristas were standoff-ish, and too busy having personal conversations with friends. So maybe my espresso would have tasted better but who knows. Don't think I'll be returning, which is disappointing the other one was nicer.

We ordered two drinks and two grilled cheeses. When we ordered, there was two men working. One guy was making drinks and the other took our order. The guy who took our order was very cold and it was like swimming through honey to interact with him as we ordered. The drinks came out fast, but the guy who took our order seemed to completely forget that we ordered and paid for two sandwiches. 20 minutes after we paid (confirmed by the time stamp of the text receipt) we reminded the other employee that we were still waiting on two sandwiches. He was friendly and removed the pre-made sandwiches from the fridge to be heated immediately. During the 20 minutes before anyone started to heat our food that was pre-made, the guy who took our order took a few other orders, but mostly engaged in a super friendly conversation with another customer. He was leaning over the counter with a drastically different personality than the cold one he had when we ordered. This suggests he knew the other person. It’s very unprofessional to abandon someone’s order to talk with your friend. The bread and cheese was assembled before we stepped foot into the building and personal conversation took priority over filling a simple order. I am giving two starts for the other guy that was working the entire time. I know he engaged in conversation too, but he continued to work while chatting. No sane person cares if an employee chats with their friends who are also guests, but everyone cares if you abandon half of the order they already paid for. Im not sure who’s responsibility it was to heat our food but it appeared as if both functioned together as a team (register, drinks, food heater).

Everything is great. Only downsides are high prices for an average/standard latte and limited parking.

Love their coffee but wish this location had more chairs! Parking: They have designated spaces for the businesses in this strip alongside the north side of the building

Cozy, enjoyable cafe
