Flatlands Coffee

Amazing coffee and staff! They have incredible original roasts for great prices. The owner and all the staff are super friendly, inviting and very knowledgeable.
One of my favorite coffee shops of all time! Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

The house coffee was good as was the service. The shop offers a range of coffee and espresso beverages on a very simplistic menu.
This shop offers 10-15 or so tables to enjoy your coffee. There were a few people with laptops open. The esthetics are modern with clean lines for a very open feel. The music playing today was a modern contemporary and was just noticable - not overly loud.

Ben the owner, was incredibly kind and knowledgeable about his craft! You can tell he enjoys what he does, including noting that my complex iced pour over was his first of the year! Cheers!

This place is truly amazing! The staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about every part of the coffee and tea-making process. They are eager to educate and answer questions, to share their experiences and passion. One doesn't find passion in every service position or every coffee shop anymore. This place, and the people who make it, falls under the category of a true experience. Such a positive one, at that! How kind, how unique, how passionate. The interior is stripped down to basics, so the customer can focus on their beverage creation and enjoyment. Though I did not partake of the baked goods, they were beautiful, intriguing, and large. I was informed the baked goods were made from scratch at the owners home and brought into the store. Even the coffee is ground in front of the customer before it is brewed fresh, in small batches, and served in a personal carafe on a wonderful carved wooden tray.

I reiterate: what a wonderful experience!

As a townie, I was apprehensive of a new coffee shop in downtown Bowling Green. Regardless, I have been coming to Flatlands since the day they opened. It was a bit of a rocky start; however, the coffee and experience has steadily improved since those early days. Today, Flatlands has flourished into what seems like a thriving business (at least when the students are in town.) My compliments to Ben on his tireless efforts of continuous improvement and attention to detail! I have been to coffeehouses all over the world, and Ben's product is comparable to some of the better ones. The staff are helpful and hospitable, although the overall atmosphere is just a bit hollow and pretentious feeling. (Guys, please don't take offense!) I do appreciate the minimalist approach, though! This is the perfect place to take your customers for a coffee meeting or to meet out of town friends.

Each time I'm at Flatlands I have had a wonderful experience and a just as magical cup of coffee. Really good pastries too! It's a great atmosphere to meet, work, or anything in between. Every barista I've met has been incredibly kind and is happy to talk about coffee. They're very hospitable and knowledgable. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Ben, on my last visit. He was so kind with each customer, answering questions about orders, giving tips on home brewing, and excitedly talking about coffee. Definitely check Flatlands out!

Simply one of the best coffeeshops I've had the pleasure of visiting. Drop Flatlands in Brooklyn, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, London, Mexico City, etc - it would shine. It's been my pleasure to work with Flatlands to create world class customer experiences for last few years, and still I'm amazed every time I enter the shop at how Ben and his staff work to create an incredible coffee experience for each and every guest!

Flatlands Coffee is a wonderful place to get your coffee. They have a great selection and take the time to make sure everything served is of the highest quality. The staff is always super friendly and ready to welcome you with a warm smile. They have done a wonderful job of making the appropriate changes necessary to keep people safe and healthy during this time of the Covid-19 crisis. I would highly recommend Flatlands to anyone who is looking to drink an excellent coffee!

Lovely coffee shop. The staff were helpful and polite. He recommended a Miele (cinnamon and honey latte) and it was absolutely wonderful. Their baked goods are delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough for anyone.

Living in Chicago, we are spoiled to have lots of great coffee shops. Our visits to Flatlands Coffee ranked with the best for wonderful coffee, great, friendly, personal, and warm service and a lovely space. The coffee is carefully selected for flavor and smoothness and prepared to order. Pastries and sandwiches rounded out our lunch deliciously.
