It’s a cute shop and has kind people working there, however, I’m not sure if it was my coffee, or maybe the milk that was put in it. However the drink tasted so sour that I couldn’t finish it. I’m not sure if it was just make wrong. Overall if the coffee was a better, it feels like a great place to hang out, have some conversations or to work on your computer. Also they did have a GREAT collection of coffee related accessories, such as drips.

Espresso drinks were not barista-quality and the flavor was off in our vegan beverages. We could appreciate the creative vibe in a space that overlays some fairly original flourishes over a generic warehouse and garage door setting.

Very good coffee. Indoor and outdoor seating. Good parking. Baked goods kinda lame so stick with the coffee. Super nice staff.

Coffee by Design has been my favorite coffee shop for decades. They've always hired great people to work for them. The coffee is amazing. It really feels like a neighborhood hangout. Every weekend I grab a couple of half gallons of cold brew to get me through the week. I will say that I miss the Baker's Bench pastries. Hope they consider bringing them back. If they do, I'll add a star for a six star review.

Came here with the intention of picking up a bag of coffee couple days ago. When we went in we decided it would be a good idea to order a couple lattes. Mine was ever so slightly bitter but my friends was fine. I'm waiting for the CO2 in the beans to get out, so in a couple days I'll write about that. The shop was really nice to walk around in and I was impressed with how nice they made the shop despite the ugly concrete surroundings. Other than the Barista asking for a tip, the staff was nice. Will be going again once my current bag of coffee runs out!

They sell fancy expensive beans. They sell fancy expensive pour over equipment. They won’t make you a pour over coffee. Seems like the best way to sell these premium items would be to showcase them on the menu. Really disappointing.
I don’t understand the idea of being passionate about coffee but refusing to serve it in the way that best shows off how unique and amazing coffee can be. Regular drip coffee pales in comparison to a nice pour over.

milk burnt. calling this a cortado? more like... ROTTEN TOMATO!!!!! coffee shouldn’t curdle this much even *if* it is a light roast! the coffee is too hot and the milk is too cold. barista fax 101. might be the best roasters but definitely not the best baristas.
Great seating , spacious, nice place. coffee made me sad </3

TBD I was at the wrong coffee by design meeting a friend. I looked in and it was a wonderful looking place spacious and bustling. There was a line out the door. That says something right there and warrants a thought that if it's that crowded it must be good. The downside if there's a line, it leaves room for improvement for those that may be in a hurry? IDK "I'll be back! Watch out Schwarzenegger.
