Vigilante Coffee College Park

This review is for Vigilante Coffee's Cold Breezy Blend whole beans.

I was gifted a 12 oz bag of this coffee with a roast date of 10/04/22 and opened the bag on 10/16/22.

I prepared it as a double shot latte. This coffee is excellent. Very fresh. The flavors are as described in the bag.

Incredible spot for coffee. We stopped here every morning for caffeine fix for five days.. It is incredible coffee with amazing service. Their flat white is delicious. Also tried something unique called a Chronic Tonic (espresso muddled with orange slice), tonic, ice and a slice of orange. I have no idea how but it really works. This is a top notch coffeehouse! If this is your local coffee place you are a very lucky human. Their Halloween decorations are subtle yet cool

Cute spot, expensive, but high quality coffee with BIG flavor. If you’re able to get to the Hyatsville location it’s a little more spacious and better for long studying. The tables here are quite cramped and it feels like you need to shuttle in and out

Bagel was awesome. It wasn't one of those bagels where you feel like now you have to take a seat and a break. It was refreshing and not too heavy. Coffee was really good. (I'm basic, I got an iced latte)

A very clean place and with plant decorations 🌱 in the environment, the coffee is very delicious, this time I went for a cappuccino and a piece of bread 🥐. I recommend it to share with friends and family.

Very smooth coffee, delicious in fact. One of the best cappuccino/mochas I’ve had in some time. Service was friendly too and nice industrial/hip setting. Bonus points for no plastic lids.

The workers are really rude. First of all they messed my boyfriend’s order and gave him a small instead of a large. Then they replaced it, and out of politeness my boyfriend asked if they wanted the small one back because he knew he would not be able to finish both his coffees and the drink would just go to waste. After he left, the two workers (not the cashier) were mocking him and making fun of him because he asked a “stupid” question of returning the wrong drink. They didn’t realize I was standing right there and could listen to what they were saying. I was offended and I really don’t plan on going back there because it is disrespectful.

I must admit that the first couple of times I purchased coffee at Vigilante, I left with a bad taste for the place. Overall the coffee was good. Many of my friends say they don't like it, but I love a super strong cup, and this place makes a solid cup of powerful joe.

So I was sour on the "attitude" I received from the staff (clearly I was neither young enough nor hip enough) and figured I'd not be back.

Then I needed to prepare a proposal on a drab and rainy day. So I walked to the shop and purchased an Americano and sat down at a table with my tablet.

Four hours and two Americanos later, my opinion of the place had softened. The buzz of the other patrons working was great, and the music being played was an eclectic mix of "curated" rock era songs. Very impressive.

When I asked the staff who selected the music, I was told "usually it's the bartender" (not "barista"), which was delivered with a strong dose of smug disdain for my "uncool" question.

Somehow I enjoyed it all thoroughly and will patronize this establishment again next time I need to get down to some writing and be powered with a strong good coffee served with a healthy dose of hipster attitude.

Peace Out ✌️

They take orders upfront, and the staff were wearing masks. I got the Cortado. My order was ready in five min. The flavor was great and I enjoyed the coffee. There are six parking spots in the premises and it was not that busy. Overall the experience was great.

I again went the next day and the lady upfront was very polite and gave me nice suggestion to get flat white. It was amazing. A great coffee to begin my Sunday.

Nice atmosphère. Very poor customer service. There was no line. We stood at the counter not 3 feet away from employees. Not one of the 3 people behind the counter bothered to greet us or even make eye contact. After several minutes we left. Very ill-mannered young people.
