Everyone here is extremely welcoming and warm. Brittany in particular has helped me out on numerous occasions and she was especially helpful when I brought my mom with me. You can tell that she seriously cares for the folks that walk through the door and wants them to enjoy their visit, enjoy the food, AND feel good about themselves while they're there! She took her time explaining/recommending things whenever we had questions and the food/coffee was JUST as good as the service!! My usual order is the vegan biscuit with blueberry sauce (I switch up my coffee order frequently) but everything is spot on and I always look forward to coming back when I'm in town!
Love the coffee here, and it’s a great place to get work done. The baristas are really nice! like Brittany who always remembers my order and has good energy. The music here is great too. Just wish they had more space, it does get crowded!
It's our beloved coffee hub and neighbor-meeting place for years now. It's a cozy place, great coffee and high quality nibbles, including gluten free cookies and in-house made filled croissants. There are outside tables too. Baristas are always friendly.. shout out to Brittany for the best smile and funkiest t-shirts! Makes my day every time.
Great drinks and super friendly staff. The perfect place to get work done, except for that one Monday the staff started playing NSYNC and Backstreet boys and the entire place turned into a karaoke joint. Also, the cute barista named Brittany will compliment you on your outfits and make you feel good about yourself, which I'm not going to lie, is like 90% of the reason I keep coming back here.
Great place to hang out with a cup of coffee, friendly staff that really care about making your experience the best that they can.
It’s great place for coffee. I can say that my coffee journey started with Penstock. The barista are wonderful and polite. Whenever you’re here look for Brittany, she’ll brew you a nice cup of coffee and great to have a conversation with.
I’ve been going to penstock for a while now. The beans are nice and I like their latte. Their coffee is not sweet (at least the ones I ordered) which I like, because I want to drink coffee not sugar. If you prefer sweet, I think they have specialty coffee that’s sweeter. They have 2 beans they usually make latte, one is darker roast one is medium, you can ask the barista for a specific bean out of those 2. I usually order to go so I have no comment on the environment.
