Hidden Fortress Coffee Roasting

15 dollars for a Mexican mocha that didn’t taste like it had any spices in it and a soggy microwaved breakfast sandwich. The cheese on it has turned to plastic from the microwave, it didn’t even melt when I went home and put the sandwich in my oven to try and relieve some of the sogginess. This review is specifically for the food truck, I’ve never been to the actual shop.

Pour overs from so many small batch roasts! I had a choice of three city roasts... what more could a coffee lover ask for? Highly recommend if you are driving by on Route 1.

Awesome little coffee shop! It was a bit hard to find but worth it for one of the best lattes I've had! The space was clean and well organized with lots of cute merchandise. Would have loved to stay longer, sip my coffe, and get a bit of work done but there was a time limit on the tables and no outlets for laptops (they were covered up).

Great coffee and a tasty sausage egg breakfast sandwich. The owner was really helpful and friendly. A place I will definitely revisit!

I got a delicious double espresso con panna at the Wednesday farmers market today and it was one of the best I’ve ever had!
Thank you!

Nice coffee and Mexican hot chocolate. Breakfast burrito was apparently so good my kids wouldn't share it.

The coffee here is delicious, I was getting it regularly at the farmers market, but when I spoke with the woman to clarify the meaning of the word I used in my coffee order (breve), she rudely spoke over me, closed off to any feedback or information.

I visit this coffee booth most Sundays at the Live Oak Farmer’s Market and am so happy to support a yummy, small independent roaster. It is SO BIZARRE to me that they don’t have the ability to make a normal, very standard size 16oz cold brew. Every single time I go, it is a confusing discussion of whether to only get 12, or to get super strong 20 oz in my 16oz thermos. Every coffee shop I’ve ever been to has 16oz options for everything, and everyone I know uses a 16oz clean canteen. So, what’s the deal?

I wanted to give this place another shot, since it is right down the street, but I regret that I did. The manager simply does not know how to talk to people or start a conversation correctly. First time I came in, she ignored me for 8 minutes while I was in line, and ever since it was always awkward. This time, I did not know I was not allowed to have a dog in the waiting area, and instead of politely asking me to wait outside, she abruptly yells "you can't have dogs in here!" and proceeds to awkwardly stare at me while I collected my cold sandwich I asked to have heated up. Not too mention, the food and drinks are super expensive for quality that is clearly from CostCo. This shop is only good since there is nothing else close by, and that is also the only reason it is still around. This was my last time there. If you can get to a Starbucks or anything else, you will be better off. I will be trying to convince my co-workers to take their business elsewhere.

Also, I know I left a review previous to this one and it was removed. I know for a FACT that there were multiple negative reviews. Be aware, the business is probably removing negative reviews by claiming they are not true.

Wonderful coffee. Welcoming staff. Affordable prices. We ordered two plain lattes which came out great. The latte had just the right amount of froth and the coffee taste was robust and delicious. Will definitely return.
