Pretty much the best choice for espresso-based drinks this part of town. Had a hot and a cold latte, both were excellent. Girlfriend had the masala chai latte which wasn't great, so would avoid that. Cafe itself is roomy and well-lit, perfect for reading or working out of. Alhough they don't have WiFi themselves, you can use the guest WiFi for the building with no issues.
The woman at the counter was friendly and efficient. She got our order to us quickly and corrctly.
I ordered a large latte and was served a small. I asked the server if it was a large, knowing it wasn’t, and she said yes. Nothing like paying for a large latte, being served a small, and being lied to in the process( server was not new to the job). Wasn’t the first time the staff has been nasty. Will not go back.
Incredible cranberry oatmeal bars ... caramel latte was meh. The employees were extremely nice, especially working within the constraints of the pretentious hipster vibe the ownership is obviously going for - well, the name Speckled Ax kind of says it all.
Just stopped in and grabbed an egg sandwich, blueberry muffin and amazing Colombian coffee made with the cyclops! I cannot recommend all of those highly enough.
Breakfast sando is epic. Served on a Chaval English muffin. Add veggies and your dreams will come true.
Best coffee in town, and the sandwiches and baked goods are amazing!
Weird reviews on here. Excellent coffee shop with top level baristas, and the breakfast sandwich/pastries are infallible. I found everyone friendly, but I live in nyc so maybe everyone seems friendly when I travel.
Chai latte wasn't anything special. If you're looking for a spot to chat with your friend, this is the place for you. But not if you're looking to get work done because there is no wifi as well as no laptops allowed.
Just moved to the area and was looking for a coffee shop where I could work and get a good latte. Came to speckled ax after it showed up on my Google search for best coffee shops in the area. One review even said how great the wifi was.
