Good craft coffee. I had a Costa Rican pour over that was absolutely superb. Good place to have quality coffee, chill on wifi, and relax.

Parking was fine, the inside is super cute, and the coffee tasted fine, but the piece of almond cake I got was completely raw in the center, and I’m assuming that’s what made my stomach bomb itself an hour later. It also took about 25-30 minutes to get my drink. I’d give it another shot to see if the next experience was more buttoned up.

My $6.50 coffee tasted like plastic because the to go cup melted and left the whole drink tasting like the inside of the cup. Same goes for the tea. Would have been lovely except tasted like a cup. Pastry was not good.

Great atmosphere and amazing staff! Would love a larger selection of food though, and maybe even a small drink fridge with non-coffee/tea beverages (juices and stuff).

Great pour overs and espresso. Service is on point. Open early which is a plus

Great service for very friendly and knowledgeable baristas. Fantastic coffee and the blueberry coffee cake was amazing as well. Perfect atmosphere for a coffee any time with plenty of seating to dine in without being on top of another customer.

The best Iced Chai Latte out there. The aesthetic and aura at Coalescence is very welcoming. Their bakery items are very delicate and delicious. I really dig the combination of flavors they offer. Jenny is amazing, and always open to conversation. I like how the space is sort of divided by a quiet study area and the main cafe area. If you need a place to go to take a break, catch up on work or just need something good to drink. I super recommend you come to Coalescence. Also ask about their local craft market that they host once a month! #SupportYourLocalCoffeeShop
