Garage Coffee Company was one of those coffee shops I had been meaning to get to for a while, but never planned to go until it happened spontaneously. I didn’t necessarily have high expectations for this spot, but I had heard a lot about it and figured it was worth trying when a few of…

Wright Bros. Brew and Brew- Austin, TX
I’ll be honest, when I first stepped into Wright Brothers Brew and Brew coffee shop, I was slightly intimidated. The dark lighting and grungy atmosphere were not necessarily welcoming. That said, the bearded baristas were friendly and happy dudes. This coffee shop was pretty conducive to getting work done, playing soft indie music, and most…
Coffee of the Month
I am crazy about naturally processed coffees, so I obviously loved Counter Culture’s The Natural. I first tried this coffee at the Counter Culture Training Center in Boston and got hooked. Unfortunately, this was a limited release coffee so it will not be on shelves any time soon, but this post is my encouragement to you…
Proper Bagel- Nashville, TN
As a coffee lover it can also be tough sometimes to be a brunch lover as well. Do I chose a restaurant based on its coffee or its food? The worst is feeling like you have to choose one or the other, but Proper Bagel, located near Belmont University it Nashville, has solved this problem….
Cold Brew Review- Larry’s Cold Brew
For my last cold brew I decided to try a concentrate just to change things up. While it takes a little more effort to drink cold brew from concentrate, I liked the idea of doing something to prepare my coffee since I am so used to brewing every morning. The second I took the first…
Cold Brew Review – Barista Parlor
Now that Barista Parlor is serving their own coffee, I decided in honor of National Cold Brew day yesterday it was time to try their take on this drink. As usual, Barista Parlor did not disappoint. This was another cold brew that did not compromise flavor or quality. This cold brew was not fruity or…
Cold Brew Review – Revelator Coffee Company
I was really feeling the heat in Nashville yesterday and decided to walk over to Revelator located in Hillsboro Village for some cold brew coffee. I hadn’t tried it in a while, but to my pleasure Revelator’s cold brew was refreshing and full of flavor. The best part of this coffee is its naturally sweet and floral…
Cold Brew Review – Slingshot Coffee
Slingshot’s ready-to-drink cold brew coffee tasted a lot like a coffee stout, to my surprise, at first. As I kept drinking I realized most of the flavor comes from the aftertaste which is slightly woodsy and smokey. The flavor is not super strong, but it is slightly bitter and takes some getting used to. Overall,…
Changes at Barista Parlor
Barista Parlor started roasting their own coffee pretty recently. In the past year they have included it on their menu along with other well-known roasters like Verve, Intelligentsia, Stumptown, and others. As of two weeks ago, Barista Parlor has started serving exclusively their own coffee. While it’s sad to lose a place where customers had so…
Coffee of the Month
After learning that Brazil struggles to continue producing specialty coffee due to the lower altitudes of coffee farms in the country, I decided to try one of La Colombe’s newer coffees from Brazil. This coffee is from La Colombe’s Workshop collection and is called “Matilde Mahogany”. I tried brewing this coffee on a Beehouse dripper…
Timberyard- London, UK
Walking into the Seven Dials location of Timberyard, the coffee shop felt small and crowded, yet when I looked around the place was actually large and size, but was just filled with people. In addition, there was space downstairs dedicated for work meetings or studying. The first thing that caught my eye at Timberyard was…
Shoreditch Grind – London, UK
Located right by Old Street Station, Shoreditch Grind is a grungy coffee spot that epitomizes the neighborhood of Shoreditch in London. The grungy, artsy coffee shop blasts rock music while people sip on espresso and relax with friends. The space is pretty large, with seating inside and outside, and resembles a concert venue. The service…
