Captain + Stoker

Cute neighborhood coffee shop. Friendly staff and delicious coffee!

Found this spot via Google search while we were visiting town for about 24 hours. Nice staff, good coffee. It also features a "macadamia milk" option, which is the favorite milk alternative of my boyfriend. Hope to return again someday!

The best coffee EVER! Amazing baristas and super friendly staff! I can not recommend Captain + Stoker enough!

This place had no time for my order as 3 employees were too busy talking nonsense amongst themselves. So I can comment on food quality but service & atmosphere get a minus 3

Captain + Stoker is an awesome addition to downtown PG. This is a grab and go spot with great coffee and a few light bites if you are interested. They are super friendly and more than happy to talk shop before you order. Can’t go wrong with anything here.

Amazing coffee. Awesome employees/baristas. Pastries were perfection. What more could you want in a coffee shop?

Not open at 634 am place is dark- don't advertise 630 when your not going to be there. I drove to try the coffee. Not this time

Nice place. Much better than the other coffee shop in town.

Great coffee. Cool little shop.

Coffees are great. Mochas too. I love the small size of this shop.

Felt it would be fair to share this experience: and this is not about the business per se or the quality of the coffee, it is about an employee.

Came there every day for a few weeks around august 2022. Thanked a barista, who sported a deep resonant male voice and mask, for my beverage by saying “thank you sir,” to which he replied, in an entitled, arrogant and condescending manner, “thank you mam.”

I thought he was addressing me as a sarcastic joke, but I immediately apologized almost as a reflex. Given that he did not respond to my apology I walked out. I was embarrassed, which immediately changed to humiliation. I was outside the coffee shop feeling like I’d just been slapped in the face, as a response to giving a store my business.

I should’ve said “excuse me?” And called that person on their effrontery immediately.

You can do woke culture anytime you want, but not in a public facing business. This is not the way to show appreciation for the people who make your salary possible in the first place by spending their hard earned dollars in your shop.

Secondly, if you insist on vocalizing your ideas about your gender, do it in a respectful manner.

Update: I received a reply by business owner pretty instantly after posting this review. I cannot tell whether that reply is publicly viewable. Business says that this employee was let go about a month ago. That’s good news, and also interesting that this person managed to work there for another 6 months after my experience.

I appreciate the business taking care of this, and there are no hard feelings from my end. Thank you.
