Cute establishment but small. They do have some seating, but not a place you can necessarily sit and write your next NYT best seller. No public bathroom. I got an iced tea. It was fine. Lots of people in the back working. It was pretty packed when I was in there.
Great tasting coffee and gorgeous lemon poppy seed muffin.
Tasty cold brew and meaty roast beef panini! Great cheese bread and meat ratio
This place is great if you work nearby, definitely not a hang out spot: it gets very crowded and is very small, not your tranquil coffee shop escape.
The drinks are good, the sizes are small, but that's just the "hipster" side of it.
The staff is nice when they're not busy, if they are, you can see the stress on their faces and they transmit it through their service – also more likely to get your other wrong.
Tip: grab a rewards card, if you work/live close by, the coffee add up quick and you get free drinks!
Needing a caffeine jolt for lunch while I was in the area for a 9-5 meeting, I knew I was going to pay Blue Spoon a visit as they serve one of my favorite coffee blends in Intelligentsia.
First thing I noticed was Blue Spoon is small with at most 4-5 tables as the kitchen area dominates most of the floor space.
My coffee was served very quickly which was appreciated as the place filled up very fast with other customers who primarily ordered lunch items or fancier coffees.
The coffee was spot on fresh, perfect in temperature, and a smooth mild blend….perfect for me.
It was also nice to see a self service station for the coffee additions (cream, sugar, etc.) as everybody has their individual preferences.
Only drawback was the above mentioned small space as due to the combination of size and the number of customers there was inevitable invasions of personal space and awkward contortions to reach the door without spilling any of the precious coffee.
$9 for a cold turkey and Brie sandwich. 2 slices of turkey, one thin piece of cheese, two thin slices of tomato, and lots of greens. The greens overwhelmed the sandwich. Service is friendly, the tables are tight, and overall decent.
Worked here for a few hours in the morning on a Monday and saw that the place got a lot of customers consistently! I got their iced coffee and a blueberry muffin. I soon realized that this was not the typical order that most regulars were getting! Almost everyone got a bagel as their breakfast, so while I can't speak to how great it tastes, I'd definitely try a bagel from here! The seating area is small, but there are plugs so you can work on your laptop or charge your phone if needed! It started getting a bit crowded around 11AM, so if you want to grab a seat, come early!
I love Blue Spoon because sometimes you're in a "behemoth coffee shop be damned" mood. And BSC makes a great iced latte, and they get it done pretty fast.
But the space is thsmall.
Had a chicken pesto panini, which was fine, but this is definitely a spot that's more about the caffeine. Don't forget to get your card stamped.
