The Barista was really kind. I asked her to surprise me with what drink to get and she ask different questions to make sure she would make me something that I would like. Was a great experience and would definitely come here again.
Adorable spot with delicious coffee - the espresso is excellent and comes through! The staff we met were lovely. Will certainly keep coming back. It is a small but mighty coffeeshop and set up decently for remote work given the availability of tables and outlets. What a gem.
A small coffee shop off the old main street of Rowlett, near the train station. It's in a cute little revitalized part near a few restaurants and shops, even has a super nice tattoo shop next door. We went in on a Saturday morning and it was packed. However, there are only a few tables and there was only one small table outside. The menu is pretty simple but has good choices. For us, it was a good stop on our way to go shopping to support a small local business instead of the bigger coffee places.
Had not had a chance to visit The Modern Well before this week. I've passed by and always thought how cute and charming it was. Reconnected with a friend and past team leader Ashleigh for coffee and it was adorable. Only a couple of other people there so not too crowded and had a little privacy to talk. I only had a tea but will try the Chai Latte next time. Not a big selection of pastries or anything but still nice. Go see for yourself.
Nice little coffee gettaway nook. They have lattes. And a bottomless cup of regular coffee for $3.95. We had a cinnamon(rats-I forgot what it's called) latte. There were 2 peple there on laptops and one on his phone working away!!
Such a cute place! They make all of their flavor drinks in house, so you don’t have to worry about all the added sugars. Was super excited to hear that their pumpkin spice is made in house! That’s a rare find!! Got a pumpkin spice latte and it was soooo good ?
The coffee is amazing. Best iced latte I’ve found. I wish they had one more gluten free pastry to choose from but I love that they have one.
Once upon a time, and not that long ago, the lion's share of my weekday's working hours was spent in the cafes of Shanghai, of which there are very many. Of all the cities in China to embrace the bean, the arms (and wallets) of Shanghai have been the most open. Proof of this is found in the sheer number of small independent cafes, the collosal Starbucks roastery at the corner of Ruijin and Nanjing West Roads, and the emergence of Luckin Coffee (Apollo Creed to Starbucks' Rocky). Dunkin'Donuts was even foolhardy enough to occupy (briefly) supremely expensive real estate directly across from JingAn Temple. (China does not and never will run on Dunkin'...or Tim Hortons.)But if what I know about coffee qua coffee would scarcely fill a teaspoon, I know a thing or two about places that make and sell it. I've published thousands of words of reviews (bars, cafes, restaurants); and since I am more flaneur than connaiseur, let me at last get to the point.Wee, wonderful Rowlett - and the big blue marble we call home - are better places for having establishments like Modern Well. Thank you, owners and investors and staff, for MWC.Keep your purchases local whenever possible, and eschew that thieving mermaid from Seattle as best and and often as you can. Modern Well's coffee is just fine, and their baked goods are lovely. No palm d'ors or Michelin stars are forthcoming, I wager, and I pray the owners don't expand their operations or franchise. (Ambitions of scale slay business like Raid curbstomps cockroaches.) Modern Well is fine - perfect, in fact - just as they are.Go. Buy. Enjoy. And do so because that charming little sliver of road running between the PGB and Rowlett Road would be much, much worse were there no MWC, or were the Well to go dry.Giv'em love. Tip appropriately.
Their coffee and tea are ALWAYS delicious!
I absolutely love this place! The coffee is on point, and atmosphere is amazing. If you go in the fall, their pumpkin spice latte is wayyyyy better than Starbucks!
