Great cappuccino. Calm atmosphere and good vibes. Kind barista.
First Avenue Coffee is beautifully designed and my ice coffee was so good.
Having this lovely coffee next to my office downtown has been the best treat on those long hard days. Sometimes I even grab a breakfast treat too, I commented to my coworker to day that the bar I got was so good it tasted like it came from my grandma's kitchen. The staff are also a delight every time I am in, I no longer get coffee anywhere else as it feels like a betrayal to the baristas' here that worked so hard to form good customer relations. (Sorry Ryan, that I got McDonalds coffee the other day, it wasn't worth it. Please forgive me)
Coffee was greatThe staff... Not so much. They made us americanos that were cold... We were VERY courteous about letting them know and the girl was clearly annoyed. We said we would be fine with a bit of steam but he insisted on re-making which was cool - she stormed off into the back, and we were very grateful to him, but even in re-making them he acted put-off... I tried to chat him up, asked about the type of beans they used and he wouldn't make eye-contact...In a word... pretentious. Won't be back
Pricy but worth it & organic! Try the Couper!They offer innovative drinks that left an impression on me. The main seasonal drinks are more like coffee cocktails, but they offer classic coffee drinks as well. I appreciate the vegan offerings although I’m not a pastry person.
I went to treat my neighbor to a coffee and Pastry for myself. Neighbor joined me there to treat me to a Pastry. The guy in line before us "Rick" treated both neighbor and me. "Paying It Forward". Thank you. Delicious Raspberry-Pistachio Donut. Curt enjoyed a coffee pour over. The best relaxed moments of my day!
Beautiful space and friendly service. I unfortunately did not like the floral drip coffee. There was nothing wrong with it, it just wasn't a flavor I enjoyed. I commented this to the barista and was ready to pay for a matcha latte but she said she wanted me to enjoy a drink that I liked so she made it at no charge. Wow that is so kind thank you so much! This was a wonderful visit.
I got a basic pour over; coffee was great. The sausage biscuit was lack luster and lacking flavor. The lemon coconut donut was flavorful but soaked with syrup or icing. I would definitely return for coffee.
If you like coffee, real coffee, this place is going to satisfy your craving. The coffee is high quality and not over roasted, letting all the complex flavors and aromas shine. They grind beans fresh for your order, and individually drip straight into your cup. If you have ever been to Philz in California, this place is going to be reminiscent.Update after a second visit:. I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. I have been roasting my own coffee beans for years and understand what it takes to make a great cup of coffee. These guys nailed it. I tried a different bean today and it was even better than the last.
First avenue coffee is a very enjoyable coffee shop!The coffee is fantastic, the space is large and airy with huge windows and high ceilings. Relaxing :)
