Grand Central Bakery - Hillsboro cafe

Great REAL coffee. Not that cheap sugary syrupy-like stuff served at a brothers type drive-thru. Decaf cappuccino is excellent. They also have a selection of fresh pastry items that are always moist, not dried up leathery pucks. Try the chocolate chip cookie warmed up! I like how friendly and efficient the staff is. They’re quick but also manage to make you feel welcome and heard. Rare!

I have never been to Peet’s Coffee. I chose it because it was close to my work and I’d be able to get back to a meeting. I ordered and watched multiple people that ordered after me or came in and did mobile orders get their drinks. I approached the baristas and inquired if my drink was coming up. I was not rude, just simply asking. The barista was short with me. Told me they were behind. I needed to leave to get back to work. I hope baristas here can understand that when a customer inquires about their drink status they are not always trying to be rude. It’s a luxury for me to stop for a coffee. I’d love a refund if possible.

This is a fantastic local coffee shop which has their own coffee beans. I had drip coffee and oatmeal with wild blueberries and roasted almonds. The coffee is really nice with a flavor of heavy and deep, not too sour. It is pretty good to drink. This is the best experience with local shop like this during my business trip.
