I like the snickers mocha , reminds me of Washington State coffee shop flavors. I'm usually at Starbucks but come to coffee shops like this one for a taste of something different.☺️

Can’t go wrong with the Cowboy menu! Secret sauce is the best!

The coffee is good! Lots of choices for a picky coffee drinker . Not too acidic, too.

They offer Chemex and French Press if you ask for it. Also, stick to the Cuvée coffee (in the blue bags). It's awesome and super fresh.

I am a coffee person, but I love the James Callahan! Similar to an Arnold Palmer , but tarter.

Get the Caballero when it's cold out and get a Cowboy when it's hot. Both are awesome.

Rock n Roll is the absolute best - especially for people who don't like coffee ...

If you ever get a chance, catch a show out back. Intimate patio setting, gracious hosts .

Coffee was okay. Also parking is a nightmare! If you don't watch where you park you'll get towed.

It's a little overrated. Always crowded during the school year.
