Coffee In Common

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Coffee: 4/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Cleanliness (FOH): 4/5 My boyfriend had a job that required him to work in the area for a five-hour block so I drove him in and took the opportunity to settle in to an intensive study session. I started with a couple of coffees down the road at Captain Grey. The filter I had there was muddy and the service was poor. I left when asking for lunch options (vegan) and the chef didn’t even know whether items on the menu had animal products or not in them. Bad sign! So, luckily for me, Coffee In Common was just a two minute walk down the road! I walked in and was immediately greeted with a warm smile! The patrons already there seemed to have a rapport with the barista (Shaun) and he was incredibly facilitating with my “dietary requirements” of non-animal-derived foods. I ordered an Aeropress coffee and the Supergreen salad with mushrooms instead of the poached eggs. Man! What a treat! The presentation was great (which isn’t imperative) but it said to me that the chef cared about what he was doing! The coffee was good, the venue has a nice atmosphere and was nice and warm on the cold, windy day I visited. The two tables outside would be nice in the summer, I’m sure. All in all, I had to post a positive review for this place because it was honestly good! Enjoy, guys!
