A simple yet hearty coffee shop right at the corner. Only tried their Americano but people kept mentioning to me how good the pastries here are…I guess that is worth one more visit!
They do have some small tables (and a bench) inside however it is usually very crowded during the weekends. Suggest to grab-n-go.
– Very friendly barista
– Plenty of light through the big window and good music
– Many seats in the shop (good for study or meet-up)
– Americano tastes great. Strong aroma and a touch a sweetness from the beans.
Third Rail gets 5 stars for the coffee but the music was playing so loud I couldn't enjoy sitting in the store to drink it. They serve excellent coffee from a roaster whose name is escaping me. I started with a pour over made with a Rwandan coffee. It was a nice, bright cup that only comes from a lighter roast. It was excellent. I also had a drip that was Indonesian. Also a very nice cup.
I only wish the music wasn't so loud. I was hoping to enjoy a relaxing morning wake up on a beautiful morning but I couldn't with Santigold blasting away. I'm sure I could have asked them to turn down the music but I just left and sat across the street on a bench. I'll definitely return for the coffee, even if I don't sit in the restaurant.
Went here just to kill time before Ippudos opened around the corner but so glad we did!
One of the best lattes I've had! Got the almond latte and it was nice a smooth and exactly how you want your latte. There was even a small art heart on it.
Both the regular and large have 2 shots of espresso so you just get more milk in the bigger one. I got the regular and thought it was the perfect milk:espresso ratio. So if you get the large, I would get another shot of espresso.
The baristas were very friendly and seem down to earth. Def stop by!
Very good latte. Wish they used beans more interesting than counter culture or at least offered a few more bean options, and our iced latte was far too much ice, so it was the equivalent of about 1/2 a cup of actual coffee. That said, a perfectly good coffee with friendly staff in a lovely spot. Wouldn't be sad if we had to return again, though next time we'd probably skip the iced versions.
Outstanding coffee…
I heard about this place as an interested watcher of one(?) of their barista, Mike's Youtube videos of How To series in coffee making. And what do you know, my place is literally a block from this place, and I pass by it everyday to the subway station.
So, leaving for work half hour early, I stopped by here to get a cup of Americano. A fairly spartan, modern-looking interior has cement floors, row of bar counter and stools all along couple sides of walls, and a table for 4. So it's not a big place. Outlets are ample for the laptops.
The coffee is on the expensive side – $3.50 I think for the "large" Americano which is… 12 oz? – but not outrageous. The aroma and taste though… full of deep flavor and medium body, it went down so smoothly! And what the barista did while pouring, created swirls with the crema that looked so cool! How do you do that on an Americano? I didn't pay attention to his pouring but next time I am going to. I also had a croissant which don't think was freshly baked but still tasted pretty darn good.
Best coffee I've had in the last few months, since Sambalatte I think.
Excellent brew. Drip, pour over, latte….whatever your style they do it all right here! I also enjoyed a madeline in the shape of a bear. Nice texture, buttery.
Nice local spot, not crowded, spacious with plenty of light. Good spot to hangout and do some work. I had their cold brew which tasted good, nothing spectacular. I would say I love the quiet environment and local neighborhood vibe. Nice respite from the crazy crowded Starbucks atmosphere.
