About this shop
What coffee lovers say
A summary of what people say about this shop.
The coffee is widely criticized, with people calling it bad, overly acidic, and even comparing it unfavorably to Starbucks. Specific complaints include a flat white that wasn't made right and an aroma and taste that fell short of expectations. Some people find the coffee remains very good, a view at odds with the more common complaints.
What the shop says
In the shop's own words, summarized by us.
Their Cardinal Blend has been the classic since day one, smooth and balanced with milk chocolate and nutty caramel notes. They visit origin to check on farm and community conditions, sourcing coffee that's sustainably grown, ethically harvested, and fairly traded, working with reputable importers and sometimes directly with farmers.
