Found this place when on a trip. Ordered espresso. Not a fan because it tastes sour-ish and this ain’t my type. Place has WiFi available thou.

I am an espresso drinker and that is what i had. I think the coffee they use is probably organic because it was sour for me, even though it’s meant to be better. Place is ok, parking is not enough.

I love that this small business serves really good coffee! The ladies in there are always friendly and happy to talk about their different drinks. I suggest the Velvet Elvis is you really love coconut!

So, RARELY does a cup of coffee impress me, especially enough to leave a review.....so after a couple of attempts to make it here, finally made it.......the building, cute, clean, cozy, with a touch of romantic all blended in, really cool yesteryear furniture, super chill environment.......now about that coffee I rarely rate (this place deserves one) again coffee rarely impresses me, but this one knocked it out of the park,looking at the simple but diverse menu I chose a medium "velvet Elvis" creamy, fresh, complex notes on the tounge from great coffee to hints of coconut.......WOW is simply all I can say, simply fantastic!!!!!!! Great job blue front coffee, WILL BE BACK, for rest of y'all, get up get dressed get here NOW!

First time here, very quaint, relaxing and calming vibes. Plenty of places to sit. Board games, books, and Wi-Fi. Coffee was delicious and comfortably priced.

Amazing service and even better coffee. Got a bagel with homemade cream cheese and the Velvet Elvis. Bo was immensely helpful and friendly for us first-timers. Will be back in the near future.

By far the best coffee shop EVER - selection of drinks and snacks are delicious (that cayenne and chive cream cheese on the Asiago Bagel is my go to and is ON POINT!!) And the atmosphere is calming and creativity inspiring at the same time. But my favorite thing about this place is the people - thank you for making every single person that walks in feel special. You guys are doing it right! If you haven't been yet, go go go!

I stopped going because they never have my bagel and cheese . I called 2 weeks in a roll almost ever day. Never can get it. So I just get my coffee somewhere else.

Visiting the area and needed a little pick-me-up from traveling. Blue Front has a great vibe / atmosphere and I loved my latte. Amazing customer service, as well. Will definitely return!

I desperately needed coffee beans after a snafu in ordering some, so I went to Blue Front Coffee Co. for the first time yesterday. The shop itself has a light, breezy feel in terms of ambience. The menu is great because you have your basic espresso based beverages, but then there is another menu with unique specialty drinks. After ordering a cup of a blend called "Happy Camper," which was incredible. I also ordered a shot of espresso. If you're a coffee nerd like I am, an espresso shot is a true test of barista skills. This did not disappoint. It was perfectly poured espresso with a rich, uniform, deep amber crema. It was bold and smooth and perfect poured into a cup of coffee. Whilst at the shop, I had a lovely chat with the manager, who was also the person making my drink. This made the experience even better, because people who help at counters tend to develop what an old boss of mine called "Wall Syndrome," in which you perceive an invisible wall between you and the customers. A lot of coffee shops are like that while your drink is being made. The fact that Blue Front wasn't is what made the visit a five-star experience.

We were in the area visiting friends and stopped by to grab a coffee. We both enjoyed our drinks and the vibe of this shop is just plain cool. The staff working were friendly and welcomed us right on in. I would recommend them if you’re in the area and want to try a new spot.
