Slow Bloom Coffee Cooperative

I ordered a Gingerbread Latte and a vegan pumpkin loaf. The latte was perfectly smooth and cozy. And the loaf was rich and fluffy. One of the best lattes I’ve had in a while.

Went in for the first time and had a great experience. The coffee was good but the vibes were even better. The barista was helpful and patient with us. We will be returning!

Absolutely Love this place with all the original crew as we've been going there for almost 10 yrs (Augie's) before they were Slow Bloom co-op today.

BUT, I was recently taken back by one of their new young baristas, when I asked her if at all possible to warm up my latte since it was tepid. She looked at me with disgust and asked if I had already tasted my coffee (how else would I know it's tepid? 🤔) and if I did, she would have to remake it and told me to wait since she's busy filling other orders (it wasn't busy). I told her nicely it's ok, but then the wonderful barista stepped in and after he addressed me by my name, he remade my coffee on the fly ❤️ In the end, she had the nerve to humiliate me further and asked if I was going to keep the first one too, before I had the chance to hand it back 🤦 I was very turned off by her rudeness!!!

I personally do not believe the barista should be talking back to the customer in any manner except to give best service, no matter the request. This is what Slow Bloom WAS to me: Family. Union. Oneness.
