Combs' Coffee

I never write reviews but this place is amazing. I ordered on ubereats because starbucks was closed and now I think I prefer Combs over starbucks lol. They were so fast, and also wrote little notes on my friend and I's coffees. The bagels and coffee were so delicious. 10/10 would recommend and I can't wait to go see it in person. <3

Short version: Yes, go here! Lol Full disclosure: This is a really great little coffee shop shopping really great things, from what I can tell. Ariana was an amazing host/barista with a great personality, and she was more than willing to answer any question I thought of and discuss their offerings whilst making my coffee. I did come in at the tail end of the day, so there were some things they had run out of, but not really an issue, as still plenty of options to choose from. I opted for an iced mocha , which is a typical staple drink for me at a coffee shop, and it was quite good, just not as bold as I usually prefer my drinks. Now, understanding the process, there are a couple primary reasons for this: first, the coffee is made via aeropress, which makes a fast, smooth, and great but light cup of coffee that would please any coffee lover that likes a less bold brew; and second, they use a natural chocolate/cocoa for flavoring their beverages, which is more subtle than a flavored syrup, but very delightful to the seasoned tastebuds and/or more health conscious. I did thoroughly enjoy the drink though, and I find it priced extremely fairly for the quality and quantity received. I also grabbed a couple of their house made 80% dark chocolate bars to sample on the way home. I will say that I sampled both the Colombian and the Mexican bars, and the flavor profile is great on both (Colombian a little more bold, Mexican a little more smooth, both creamy mouth feel with good melt) , but I did find myself desiring a little more substance to cost ratio. The melting chocolate bar bites did add that little bit of extra flavor I was looking for in my iced mocha and blended quite well in my mouth. I picked up quart size mason jar of cold press coffee to try later, so I can't say anything on that yet; however, I can hypothesize that it will be quite delectable, based on everything I've tried so far. Looking forward to the next time I'm in the area with more time to spare and in need of a coffee fix, so I can try some of their other offerings. In case you're wondering and have made it this far.... YES, I highly recommend Combs' Coffee to anyone who loves coffee or tea, as they have great smelling tea offerings on hand, too!

Third wave coffee shop and roaster with a surprisingly wide variety of specialty coffees. They are all about sustainability and quality. The owner/roaster/barista is a Q-grader and as friendly and helpful as possible. Pros: variety of coffees (styles, roast levels, and countries of origin) friendly staff, helpful, great chocolate and teas, renewable and sustainable everything Cons: challenging to find (in a sort of warehouse with a small door), no commercial espresso machine (they do effectively use an Aeropress)
