Wayward Coffeehouse

How to leave another glowing review of Distant Worlds while accurately describing what makes it such a special place? I guess I'll need to write a novella to try! The coffee is excellent, the geekiness delightful, and the employees are absolutely stellar (shout out to the morning employee J. who made me feel welcome from my first unsure visit over 6 weeks ago, and continues to be welcoming and friendly and helpful); They host pop up food makers such as grayseas pies, and host comedy open mics and various meetup groups; They are COVID-19 conscious and clean; It's a queer and woman owned local business that fights for social change, equity, respect, awareness, and diversity; The allergy friendly everything is so very helpful, and I'm sure the particularity about being nut free is also very helpful to many; They display and sell many kinds of arts and crafts with an eclectic geeky vibe I absolutely adore, and from local artists who get the profits to boot -- including pins, dice mats, games, mugs, greeting cards, prints, and delightful earrings from my newly discovered favorite xyzstyleco; They are on Joe and use Clover which stacks up some nice rewards and adds a nice perk, you know, in case the delicious food and atmosphere haven't wooed you enough; They have two restrooms for customers in case you really have to pee while someone has a press conference in the other bathroom, They're located at a beautiful intersection for two main bus stops; The employees are ready and willing to admit their mistakes and find solutions; There are nerdy games and books and figures and stories and every new customer I've seen has their eyes visibly light up with nerdy joy; And last but not least, every person I've encountered there has led with respect first, which makes the whole event of grabbing some coffee, or kombucha, or pastries, a very special and different experience. Thank you everyone at DW Coffee for the light you share with us! 🧡

Love this place. Perfect nerd vibe. Grab a large table for gaming, go to one the many trivia nights given by Raised By TV or just enjoy the art with a cup of something. Great coffee- lots of sugar free syrup and non dairy options, too. I like the toasty treats made- they have gluten free bread available. Dana is the best barista. Tip her.

This was the worst coffee I’ve ever had. It tasted worse than gas station coffee that’s been sitting for several hours. I ordered a hot drink and a cold drink. The cold drink looked like half had spilled and a thin layer of whip cream was on top. Part of the cup was empty and not filled to the top with whip cream like most places so I was really confused.. i did not ask for room in this coffee. It was also really watered down and I had to throw it out. I ordered an everything bagel which was inedible, I could not bite into it like it was stale?? They asked if we wanted Swiss or cheddar in our sandwich. I said Swiss but got cheddar so idk why it was an option if that wasn’t going to be fulfilled. I’m so disappointed because it’s almost 5 stars but how?? I had to throw away 3 out of 4 items.

A delight! The staff are super friendly, the drinks (especially the TARDIS latte) are all good. I tried a vegan pizza hand pie and it was absolutely *chef kiss*. The vibe is very nerdy (don't miss the gorgeous Firefly mural in the back corner) while still feeling welcoming and laid back. A perfect place to chat with a friend or hunker down to plan your next campaign!

I really like the atmosphere and all the art on display. That said, the service was absolutely awful and that was some of the worst food and coffee I've ever had in my life. I get that it's vegan for the most part but I have to imagine vegans know what flavor is. I ordered a white chocolate mocha and the vegan chocolate they used was so flavorless I had them add like five more pumps and I could still barely taste it. Genuinely nasty

there’s a good amount of seating but it can get crowded sometimes! drinks are a little pricy. good number of outlets close to the walls. the drinks are pretty good! the baristas are always super welcoming and nice people. you see the same people working usually, so it’s a nice, familiar vibe. it’s also really cozy and the music is great. they have improved the poor wifi situation - it’s now pretty reliable. overall it’s my favorite spot to work at in roosevelt! way better than armistice in my opinion!!!
