Bank Square Coffeehouse

I've been there 2x. Both times gave me and my companions excellent cups of coffee. Service was okay - not horrible or spectacular. Both times we had difficulty finding a place to sit - the side room is nice but bit run down (heater cover falling off) and seat arranged in an odd manor. I understand what they are trying to do - quirky, old stuff all mismashed together - but it was an odd setup especially when the first time we needed only 2 chairs and we were forced to sit across from another couple. Doesn't make for relaxing time.  As for the coffee - which is why we went there - it was great. Will definitely go back again the next time I'm in the area!!

I love visiting Beacon and I love it even more when the day includes a trip to this coffee shop. The drinks are tasty (as in the coffee is GOOD -- no acidic Starbucks aftertaste here!), the place is clean, the baristas are super friendly/nice/knowledgeable and they even hang local artists' work on the walls.

If you want cold brew, go earlier in the day because they can sell out.

Get the pour over coffee..even if the staff get a little frustrated about having to make it. "It will take awhile. Are you sure you want it?" "Yes, I'm sure." "OK cool!"

So I must admit, I don't even drink coffee, but all of my friends tell me that the cold brew and pour over here are amazing. PLUS, they have a great selection of teas, which I can appreciate. Get the rooibos!

UPDATE: I just received a message that the heat should now be FIXED! I have deleted the previous paragraph of my review, since being cold at Bank Square is no longer a typical experience. Enjoy everyone!
