Souvenir Coffee Co.

Pretty good Americano, but the breakfast sandwich was almost tasteless, with some weird raw greens which may have been spinach on a basic hamburger bun they upsold as 'brioche'. At noon, their stock of pastries had sold out. Looked like a nice garden in the back, but we sat indoors, also a pleasant space.

Ordered just coffee, friendly young staff.

The place is cute to have a drink and chat, however, I do not recommend to anyone who is attempting to do work over a laptop or device that requires charge. The wifi is unstable (currently using my hotspot to write this review lol) and there are no power outlets. It seems like they do have power outlets but they cut access to it for the public by taping over it (why? ... I do not know)

Good light roast drip coffee. Nice indoor and outdoor seating

Very inviting, so comfortable we came in for coffee and tea to go but found ourselves hanging out, looking at the mugs and Berkeley roasted bags of coffee. I bought the medium roast.

Okayish drinks and weird rules
They have a rule where you can’t go on a laptop outside which I find a bit strange, especially due to Covid. It’s a bit frustrating considering how small and enclosed the inside of the cafe is and how it makes you feel unsafe.You they’d have exceptions due to omicron especially.
There drinks are fine though. Usually a hit or miss.

The coffee is excellent, the staff pleasant and professional, the interior clean and pleasant. It's also a great neighborhood. My problem is with people that think cafe's are their private office and all the rest of us sit around in a sea of computers. Going to a cafe is supposed to be a break for me from work. It's a place to meet a friend and share a conversation. All of these coffee shops make you feel like you are in the atmosphere of an airport but unable to talk like you are in church. Cut the wifi off. NO MORE COMPUTERS in cafe's. Make people pay for their own electricity instead of tacking the price onto our coffee.

Great cafe but I don't understand the Tech Free weekend brunch. I guess it's for people to be more sociable but I saw alot of people sitting by themselves reading books so it seems kind of arbitrary. I guess banning books has a negative historical context so they went the Luddite route? I like to go to a cafe and write or edit my writing but it looks like customers with laptop are not welcome before 1pm here. Be advised.

Cool staff with a basic but stellar selection of well-priced drinks. They're in the midst of building out a patio for some outdoor seating in the back! Good wifi and atmosphere for doing work and friendship, too.

Ordered coffee online from these two. it is 01/26/2021. They roasted the coffee on 01/13/2020(I'm assuming they mean 2021). I do not think i've ever had a coffee roaster send out a shipment of coffee two weeks after the roast date. I feel a little short-changed. Will probably not be buying again and definitely can't recommend other buying from here either with these practices. I understand smaller coffee shops can't compete with larger shops in terms of roast date but I would prefer they just take their time and ship out fresh roasted coffee on certain dates to ensure optimal freshness.
