Energy Lab Cafe

They focus on the craft of fine coffee. Their roasts tend to be more bright and tangy. Each cup is custom brewed on the spot by a well-trained barista. Next time u want to try their teas.

First time in and customer service was horrible I left my mom there w my newborn son while I got my car and they wouldn’t serve her scared we didn’t have money to pay, when I came back to order, they skipped us for someone who just walked in proceeded to tell them about their loyalty program which they told us nothing about. They didn’t act like they cared for our business at all. Sad because I thought I found the place where I would be buying my juices but will be going somewhere more welcoming

Epic coffee is what you find when visiting The Energy Lab and the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. This is a great place to go if you appreciate good coffee and a relaxed environment. The steam punk brew is my favorite!

AJ and Luke are a tag-team duo of coffee experts. Beautiful foam and pleasantly balanced. You can tell simply by speaking to them that they enjoy the craft and care about making every cup, the best cup. If I lived in Clermont, I'd be here every day.

Great potential, as yet unrealized. Its tucked away next to a bike shop near the lake. The laser-tag feeling entrance outside belies the genuine coffee shop interior. They've got a great setup and a good marketing identity. *But* they don't have wifi, which doesn't make much sense for such a good seating arrangement. I've been told it's intentional in order to encourage conversation, that it is what is trending in Brooklyn now. While that's some great intention, this is Clermont. It's a different place with different culture and needs. Other coffee shops in the area are great meeting places *and* have wifi for those working away from home. Seems like a missed opportunity for both customer and owner.

It's clear they want to be known for quality coffee. They are halfway there. Unfortunately their primary brewing method, while high tech and pretty cool conceptually, takes way too much of the oils/flavors out of the bean during extraction. The resulting cup presents as a little weak and ill-defined. Fine for some, but the lack of alternative brewing methods (e.g. Chemex, straight pourover, Aeropress, French Press, or even regular drip) severely limits their customer offerings. They offer only two bean regions at a time, which is fine, I guess, if not limited. Their bean storage (pre-preportioned *clear* glass vials) seems undermine their commitment to quality a little.

They boast a Slayer espresso machine (amazing), which says they're serious about espresso. I've not yet tried any of those offerings and so can't speak to it. It seems they are working hard to dial it in, though, which is great.

There's one guy who works there who is obviously well acquainted with coffee and has a passion for a good cup. Others however clearly don't seem to really care, which is a little disappointing.

Overall, a great little shop. Lots of promise.

Coffee was amazing! So smooth. They use the Alpha Dominche steampunk process, which is very rare. So glad I live near here. Will definitely be back. They definitely seem to have their crazy expensive machines dialed in.

Went in looking for recumbent bikes. Very fancy, upscale store with food bar. Nice sales attendant. Didn't have what we needed though. In beautiful part of Clermont.

Great coffee! Very cute unique coffee place. Very knowledgeable about everything that goes into making the perfect cup. They also have juices and smoothies.

The owner was very rude I had went it cause of a slipped chain and he refused to work on it cause it was a murray bike but ended up helping but still I don't think he should of denied me at the beginning

Legitimately the best place I’ve ever been to for coffee! The espresso is so much better than any I’ve ever tried and the manager truly cares about the drinks and the customer experience. Can’t recommend this place enough
