What a delightful find. Btw, ty for 200K views! Hidden in a residential complex off Penn Ave by Penn Circle East is this unassuming coffeehouse with solid Cortados and a wide selection of tea. I stopped by this place and found - Plenty of Seating - Benches if you want a little privacy - Open sitting room with library vibes - And it's like, really quiet I'm not sure how redstart got their start, but I'm glad I stopped in. I got a delicious, well made drink for $4 and was able to while away a bit of the afternoon whilst copywriting on my laptop. If you've been to KLVN Coffee House, this place has a similar, but much quieter vibrance. No loud voices, just the sounds of an espresso machine whirring away against a soft music background. Check out the pics for their coffee and menus, chocolate and pastry case.
Taste the coffee and then find out for yourself. Coffee can't get any better than Redstart.
I love this place, its bird friendly coffee, and its whole aesthetic. My sole beef is that the drop from the curb to the street when exiting the parking lot nearly always causes me to spill a little bit of coffee out of the wide mouth cold brew cup. I guess that's on me to develop that skillful balance!
It's a big place with lots of seating room. The menu has the basics with a couple specialty lattes. The coffee is really good and the conservatory business model makes me feel good.
Excellent espresso! And cortado! Get espresso drinks with less milk to taste the great coffee taste.
Fresh, tasty coffee and ownership that truly looks out for the best interests of its customers and the environment!
Love this spot- orchid oatmilk latte was delish. giant windows- lots of natural light and lovely plants. but I wish there was more seating! Lots of people on laptops but not many spots for 2 people to actually talk to each other without feeling like everyone can hear you. There is room to expand and I wish they would!!
the staff is incredibly rude and pretentious (for no reason - the coffee isn’t good). i have truly never had such a bad experience at a coffee shop in my life. i’d suggest going to commonplace or de fer. the staff is quite friendly and the coffee is much better.
First time visiting and I want to go back! They focus on environmentally conscious coffee that protect native bird habitats, which is awesome. Plus the coffee was delicious. I had a cappuccino and pour over, the pour over was very nice and the notes were as described. Also picked up a bag of coffee for home! The space is also beautiful. Love the vibe in there and casual seating.
My latte was fantastic, and the space was quiet and clean. This is a great location if you want to work for a few hours.
The emphasis on supporting bird protection makes the coffee taste that much better. Their tea is tasty too.
Nice cozy atmosphere. Excellent coffee. I appreciate the values of saving the planet!
Fantastic place. Great atmosphere and very tasty coffee.
Luv this place! Fav place to go for some quiet time and good (strong!) coffee. Often purchase a bag of beans while there.
Great coffee and great people!
Stopped here while waiting for my car to get worked on and accidentally discovered the best iced latte in the city.
They were at donut fest. The African American man who was giving out samples was soooooooo nasty and rude to me and my daughter. We’re African American too and he acted like he didn’t want to serve us and ignored us to give white people samples. The only reason I didn’t freak out is because I was with my child and instead of going low with his self hatred I’d rather go high….. and write a review. So you guys can know what type of trifling self hating time and vibes is serving you coffee.
Great coffee. Learned about coffee growing and bird safety. Very cool.
I love it here. I have been about 10 times now, and each time the barista has been friendly and happy to answer my questions. The environment is warm and cozy, and the coffee has been delicious each time. One example of excellent customer service I have received: I was ordering for my friend, and she chose a macchiato without knowing it was a small drink. When the barista saw her confusion upon receiving it, they offered to convert it into a latte-type drink for her. She happily accepted. I would highly recommend Redstart to anyone, and I will continue coming several times a week.
Was great to get a simply good cup of coffee. Very good without being very expensive.
