FROTH

Honestly wanted to like this place but it's super overrated. Seating is incredibly limited even though there's plenty of empty space in the cafe. People tend to stay in their seats studying/reading/working (which is fine) but it means you have to wait ~15 minutes to actually sit down anywhere. Drinks are alright but nothing amazing. Sandwich bread was burned when it first came, but they kindly replaced it after I brought it up. Interior decor is amazing though!

Finding parking near Froth was a mission. I was very impressed when we walked in, it’s very spacious, but not quite as impressive with the cleanliness. When making our drinks didn’t use gloves to get the coffee brittle and was back and forth at the register.

Industrial-chic decor. Plenty of space to stretch out and get some work done. Food was cooked to perfection. Coffee really good. Highly recommend this near Westside gem.

Offering a Cortado is fairly common at most independent shops these days (and that's my jam), but not as common is a barista knowing what Cubano style is and being willing to make it. So I was happy that my server (I forgot their name) was ready and willing. When I got the concoction I was happily surprised at what was in my cup: the absolute balance (to my pallette) of sweetness and acidity, with the complex flavor of the caramelized sugar perfectly in the mix. All this topped with a luxurious foam to make their namesake proud. I'm impressed. Also I agree with what others have said about the atmosphere. Very cool.

Excellent coffee shop with decent small bites. Only one negative: poor ventilation — quite smoky, you’ll leave smelling like back of kitchen.

When I came in, I was not greeted. When a young white lady walked up behind me, they looked past me and spoke to her. No one told me about the accommodations, so I just ordered a latte to sit in the lobby. The place was quiet, which wouldn’t have been every if it wasn’t for the awkward exchanges with the staff. When my drink was ready , I noticed the lobby was full so I asked if I could go upstairs. They said this belongs to an apartment bldg but I can drink in the bar downstairs. I started to take my filled to the brim, hot latte through the lobby, and down some stairs into a dark hallway, and stopped. I went back upstairs and said I don’t want to drink in a bar. Could you give it to me to go? They put it in a cup, set it down didn’t say a word to me. No lid. Didn’t tell me where the lids were. Didn’t say sorry about the confusion. Nor Asked if it’s my first time there. Why would a customer not assume that the lobby belonged to them? And why would you pour a hot beverage to stay with nowhere to sit? Or at least explain if you buy this beverage to stay, you’ll have to drink at the bar. I felt like persona non grata; they barely said two words to me. I don’t know what it is, but there’s some -ism at play. Or just plain complacency. For a $6 latte. Not again!

Little on the young side but us people who are young at heart fit right in. Parking: Street parking with very few open spots.

Very spacious! Amazing coffee , and matcha very nice people ! Great environment to study !
