The barista was very nice and super personable. The atmosphere is great if you like rock/metal/punk music and dark themes (They don't blast the music, you can still have a conversation). Seating is comfortable and nicely spaced.

The tea and coffee are great and reasonably priced.

Great venue. A metal coffeehouse that supports the community
Great coffee n Tea! Awesome part of Allentown in Pittsburgh

I just had a hot chocolate and a brownie. But I had forgotten how delicious their brownies are. The cashier is very friendly, and was very patient with questions. Love the atmosphere, love the art

Has an interesting heavy metal atmosphere. Even though the coffee shop plays metal throughout the entire genre including screamer and death growl types, the music is kept to a respectable volume.

Found out they roast their own beans. Espresso is good right on the bitter/not bitter level and the coffee is dark roast.

Although I didn't try any, there is a nice selection of what looks like fresh baked cookies and baked goods, as well as a large seasonal menu of mixed coffee drinks and teas.

Do not go to the shop if you don't like metal or at least can't stand it, while waiting for your coffee. Also note the ambiance is mainly dark and black, befitting the theme, so don't expect anything bright and open.

There is a small outdoor eating area but nothing that impressive due to limited side walk space, and there will likely be cop cars parked near or in front of because the shop is next door to the police station. Parking, in general, can be tricky in Allentown, where they are located.

They may have the best coffee in the city, it's absolutely fantastic. I love the baked goods they sell there, too. Parking can be a bit out of the way, but definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area. They also have a full calendar of events that are a ton of fun.

Wonderful coffee shop which offers delicious food. The quirky art is a bonus. The "punch Trump's head" coffee loyalty card is a forever keepsake. Check their schedule for live entertainment. I attend a "community open mic" with an excellent house band . But, the performers who show up are always really great. Makes you wonder if this community is where all the artists live.

Black metal vibes and alllll the best coffee 🤘🖤🤘

I had some sort of lavender coffee thing that was stupidly delicious. Great coffee place, cool atmosphere. V neat.

Update: I have since been back several times, and let me tell you, I do not normally get flavored coffees, but I do here because they are good as hell. Outstanding coffee drinks. Great place. Love it.

This place has awesome matcha lattes and are super nice. They also have a stage for performances in the evening. And the style is cool-- not your average coffee place! My only issue is with parking, which isn't their fault.

Best coffee ive ever had. My wife and i love coffee and we made a special trip to this shop which she found on Instagram and i can say it was worth going out of the way for.
