Mother Earth Coffee Hyde Park

This is a very nice coffee shop with lots of indoor seating. The floor is concrete and the seating is varied. There are a lot of tables for 4, a table for 6, two couches, a 4 soft chair area in front of the fire place and 2 long bar areas including one along a window. My mocha was average, but not bad. They roast their own beans. I read in a review how good the biscuits and gravy are, but they were out when I went. That means I need to go back. 😃 They make their pastries in house so I decided to try their brown sugar poptart. It was very flaky and sweet. I went on a late Thursday morning and they had a pretty steady stream of customers for that time of day. I hope they continue to do well.

This was a bigger coffee shop than it looked online. The barista was friendly and answered our questions about a few items. I ordered a small americano expecting an 8 oz cup. My wife ordered a 12 oz mocha and they both came in the same size cup. So I guess the small is a 12 oz, don't know what size the medium or large is. The americano was watered down compared to other shops. The seating was plentiful with a mix of couches, soft chairs, and table choices.

I have had nothing but a wonderful experience every time I visit Mother Earth Coffee! This coffee shop is warm and inviting with plants on every counter top and table, friendly staff, clean work spaces, and a fresh rack of home baked goods awaiting you at the counter. Their espresso is on point flavor wise and they have a great selection of breakfast sandwiches and food! My absolute favorite go-to is the vegetarian soy chorizo burrito. It's very hearty and flavorful! I have also had the waffle sandwich and I think I just over complicated it by adding avocado and taking the sausage off to make it vegetarian but I also found the icing inside to be too sweet for my preferences. My partner had the waffle sandwich before as is with egg and sausage and loved it. We have both tried several of their pastries here and they're always fresh. This is honestly the best coffee and breakfast joint in town!

What I also love besides the food and coffee is their efforts to reduce waste with a global mission to support the Earth with their brand. All of their food and drinks are served in compostable containers and they've got separated bins for glass, compost, and recycle. They also offer a discount to any Mac Apartment residents which helps out the community in a nice way. I am always conscious of ways to reduce my carbon footprint and help others so its nice to see a business take action and actually implement a system to do so! It's a very opening environment to work on a laptop, have a conversation with friends, or study and invites the community in. I frequently visit Mother Earth Coffee and recommend it to all of my Earth-conscious, coffee loving friends!

Peaches and Cream smoothie, Mocha Cold Drink, Waffle Breakfast Sandwich, and a Bagel Breakfast Sandwich. I have to say, this was the most AMAZING thing I’ve had there. Although, they are pricy, they are delicious for the price and worth every dollar.

Arrived here in the afternoon and wasn't too busy. The Egg & Soy Chorizo Burrito was wonderful and I was thankful they had some scones leftover, cinnamon scone was phenomenal. I was disappointed that they didn't specialize in savory scones, but each place as their speciality. This coffee spot is great for reading or doing whatever work you need to do. Calm presence here and quality service.

5 5 5's...All across the board, pretty good parking and the atmosphere is great. It's very quaint and cozy. I believe there's seating outside, it was my first time with some friends that go quite often. The music selections were good, I got to sing along with a little Chris Stapleton. Now I'm not a coffee person, but that was the best chocolate whatever the thing is called without any coffee-(my choice)... it was like a chocolate chippy frosted milkshake!! I can't wait to go get another one...delicious! Service was inviting, excellent, & informative!!!

This is hands down my favorite coffee shop in Midtown. I'm pretty picky about my coffee and usually balk at paying $5-7 for a breakfast sandwich, but the coffee and food here are worth every penny. The food is fresh, fills me up, and doesn't leave me feeling gross afterward. The coffee is strong, and you can tell the employees really care. The atmosphere is inviting--it makes you want to sit down and stay awhile. I seriously can't say enough good things about this place!

I normally LOVE this coffee shop, it's right across the street from my apartment and I get coffee there often. Today however, I had the worst customer experience service there. I went in and ordered a large iced caramel latte which is my go to drink of choice so I'm pretty familiar with the price of the drink. Generally before tip and tax or any discounts (I get a small discount because I live at a Mac property.) this drink costs me $5.25. Today before tip and tax and any discounts the cost of this drink was $6.50, over a dollar increase. I asked the employees if they raised their prices and they said yes, however when I got my receipt I saw that not only did the base price of the drink go up but I also saw that they charged me for flavoring in my latte on a drink that has always already had flavoring built into the price of it. So essentially I paid almost a dollar more for my drink than I should have because it wasn't rung in correctly. When I tried to express this to the employees not only did they not really understand or offer to help me understand, but when I asked what price I should expect to pay for my drink in the future one of the employees (a gentlemen with shoulder length dark hair and facial hair) told me I should expect the higher price but hope for the lower price because it really just depends on which employee is ringing me up and what they feel like charging... Last I checked that isn't how pricing works in a retail establishment, food and beverage or otherwise. I don't mind if Mother Earth raises their prices but they need to provide a consistent customer experience or they're going to lose business. Nobody wants to go into a coffee shop having no idea what the price of their regular drink will be from day to day. My drink is still delicious but that experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

***Editing my review to reflect the follow up that I received from someone in upper management after sending a feedback request via their website. I received a sincere apology email with a promise to follow up with the employees/management at this location about my poor experience, especially the issue of the inconsistency which was the major reason I posted this poor review. I was also awarded enough loyalty points to my account to cover the cost of the drink I purchased that day. I am impressed with the follow up I received so I have edited my review from one star to four stars.

Totally fantastic sandwiches and drinks! Came here twice while staying in town for the weekend. Solid work/ study space just be strategic to sit by outlets! Nice vibe and great staff. Restrooms are around the corner technically not in the coffee shop space.

Waffle sandwich is delicious!!

I absoutely loved my experience here. The staff was super friendly, and gave me an amazing drink recommendation. The environment is perfect, from the ABBA music playing in the background to the plants on the tables. I will be coming here again!
