Rare Blend Cafe

Looks like rare blend is now closed for the last month or so. This used to be my local go-to coffee spot and if they reopen I'll be going back!

I like this place coffee is fine. They display local artists which I love.

The employees at Rare Blend are so sweet that it pains me to write this, but their coffee or pricing really has to change. Situated further out of Downtown than all of the competition, Rare Blend somehow manages to charge the most for their drinks. I stopped by today to give it a second chance, and the $7 iced coffee was neither reasonable nor very good. The price of the large was not posted, which may be a concern to some. The baked goods look great, but $6.5 an empanada had me terrified for how much each donut costs, when it’s $6.5 for 6 right over at the local donut shop. I would really love for this cafe to succeed and become a local staple, but it’s simply not located in the business area. The local community can only afford $3-4 a cup for plain old iced coffee, and that’s compared to Aroma charging $2. Edit for 1 star: apparently not nice anymore

My coffee is perfect. I am such a lightweight and novice when it comes to coffee, I don’t care for the taste and I get palpitations too easily, but this first sip was so yummy and delightful. I’ll check back and let y’all know if my heart is racing. The barista was kind and helped guide my order.

Good coffee, and very tasty empanadas.

The staff is extremely rude. I found this place through Google and decided to get treats for me and my grandchildren. There was a line. I asked to use the restroom and plan to make my purchase after. I was told that I could not use the restroom and it was for customers only. I explained that I had been driving and was a potential customer I just needed to use the restroom first. I waited in line to ask for the restroom so that I could come back to order. And was told once again it was only for customer. I feel deeply in my heart there was some racism involved
