HAYSTACK Coffee

Wonderful place to gather! Great, central location to campus.

Barista refused to serve me a cappucino or any espresso drink at 5:45 when they didn't close until 6:00 pm because he had already begun cleaning the machine and quote "didn't want to be there for 8 hours after closing at 6." I rushed over to The Gray Owl who also closes at 6 pm, got there at 5:55 and they happily made me a cappucino. The church shouldn't have worse business practices and customer service than the world. Love the coffe there, but service was sorely lacking. The barista is the guy who was working closing shift Sunday June 22nd and Monday June 23rd

Nice atmosphere, kind people :) seems like a great place to hang, read, or study. I loved seeing how much variety they had from drinks to teas. Also a large range of milk options. The tea list was quite large which excited me, they had simple ginger tea, to more unique herbs like butterfly pea flower tea and lemongrass. The barista was very sweet to me engaging in conversation and sharing her favorite drink recommendations and answering all my questions. I was disappointed at the limited food items. They only had sweets and I was hoping to get myself something savory and substantial. 🍵🍵🍵 The matcha latte was made with the pure powder upon my request. ( i was told they usually use a concentrate) but I’m someone who drinks matcha regularly and wanted to taste the natural tea powder. I loved that they used the traditional matcha whisk and utensils. The matcha tea however was of poor quality- the color, taste, and flavor were not representative of the beautiful tastes of genuine matcha. ( muddy green color with a very bitter astringent taste(which I think would be intolerable for most) probably why they stick to a concentrate Overall it was a basic coffee house with some unique flavors, lovely atmosphere, and good service. Nothing too outstanding/ extra ordinary I’d come again, just not for matcha 🍵 And recommend a regular matcha drinker to try somewhere else
