Have been coming here once a week for at least a year now. Consistently amazing service, quality, everything. Plus even when they are seemingly full, I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes for a table. I do miss the kismet bagels though :(

Food: The brunch all day is amazing in itself. The French toast is perfect. Even better, the sizes for iced coffee drinks are larger than expected. Space: The best thing about this place is the sense of community and atmosphere. I use my coffee houses as third spaces to work on the weekends with my partner. This place fits the bill. The plugs are abundant and nothing feels cramped or snooty. There is a louder brighter section at the front and a quieter darker (albeit a bit chilly) section by the restrooms. You can easily bunker down and do group work or study/read alone while re-caffeinating as needed. Music is loud enough to level out conversations surrounding conversation and subtle enough that you don't find your own headphones fighting to drown it out. When it's nice our the garage doors open and it's a lovely place to be.

One of my favorite coffee house in the city. Great coffee served by friendly barrista. And I love the almond croissant. But they have plenty of other choices if you prefer.

This coffee shop doesn't have straws. That makes about as much sense as a BBQ restaurant not having napkins or a hair salon banning hair dryers because they use too much electricity. When I get an iced coffee, I want that liquid neatly deposited into my caffeine starved, gaping pie hole, not dribbled through a sloppily designed strawless lid opening where the liquid catches in the seam between the cup and the lid and promptly drips down the front of my shirt, and the ice slides like an avalanche towards my mouth due to gravity from tilting the cup, pushing the liquid forward suddenly and causing a delightful variety of accidents. I know OFC Coffee House is saving the planet by forgoing straws, however they also have tiny bags of chips for sale - where upon finishing that tiny, single serving of chips (wouldn't want to gain weight!) the bag will immediately be thrown into the nearest landfill. Not to mention they use hundreds of plastic iced coffee cups and lids per day, automatically negating their world-saving straw ban. Did I mention they have reusable straws available for sale for the low, low price of $15? Yes, every morning I'll remember to wash and dry my fancy reusable straw, throw it into my filthy backpack, proceed to OFC coffee shop, then throw my soaking wet $15 straw back into my backpack, where it will collect every piece of lint and other unknown garbage particles hiding out in there until I can finally wash and dry my precious straw again. Life is full of enough endless tasks and I'm going to be ash and dust someday. Just let me enjoy my iced coffee via the simple pleasure of the disposable straw.

This is my go to Coffee Shop in the city. Latte’s are great, the portions are huge. Most importantly the atmosphere is exactly what your looking for in a coffee shop. Plenty of seating and free WiFi. Best place to get a coffee in the neighborhood.

It's unclear where the food comes from, and who prepares it. It is like a hidden secret--the food just mystically appears out of a dark room. That is unusual (if not unsettling) for a coffee shop. The coffee/drinks are of mediocre quality because the staff can't keep up with the enormous menu catalog. Guests return for the space and ambience, which is not surprising considering that this is a real estate establishment. Customer service is lukewarm, though some like it hot.

Great spot to work, because the Wi-Fi is solid and there are plenty of seats. My friend Hersh lives nearby, too, so that’s a plus. He’s a nice guy. Worth the friend energy. I also appreciate that they have freshly made fruit and veggie smoothies.

I really enjoyed this little jewel of a coffee shop. I was very hungover and needed energy and I needed food. Service was fast the food was good. I got a water, and an everything bagel with humus. The man at the counter ran through the options a little too fast and I was a little too hungover to make an educated decision on what I wanted. So I picked the above choice, because I heard that. My friend got a dirty iced chia latte and an everything bagel with cream cheese. They load you up on the spread. Let me tell you what, it was almost too much. Def worth the price. My other friend got a pastry and a latte. We all enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. If I had a recommendation I would ask that the post the bagel types and spreads on a menu or sign so it’s not so difficult to choose. Other than that 5 out of 5. Oh and other tiny complaint is they have garage doors in front of windows that don’t really make any sense. The windows open and are there, so why the garage doors? I would come back for sure.

Amazing Coffee, and that's coming from a Melbourne (Australia) resident. Fantastic Sandwiches to go with the coffee.

Great space, decent coffee, not great breakfast sandwich. Ordered sausage egg and cheese on a bagel and was not very flavorful and bagel was hard.

This was my go to spot in Spring Garden and Fairmount. It’s a great place to work because it’s HUGE. Despite that the table and working spaces can fill up fast. But anyway. The coffee is fantastic. The staff pulls a great shot. They’re very friendly. The breakfast sandwiches are also fantastic. They also have an insane tea list which I love. Very good spot.

The matcha latte is good but the cream has inconsistent patterns. Love the vibe and view of the old prison

If you want a good Chai, go to Rybread down the street. I’ve had them here four times with different milks but never much flavor. Bathrooms are a bit gross with sticky floors. Sometimes can be too loud.
