Morning Ritual Coffee Bar

This local shop really checks all the boxes. The space alone is great. Very charming and cozy, definitely a place that makes you feel welcome. I was shocked at how many drink options they offer! I'm an adventurous eater/drinker, so I love experimenting just as much as I enjoy the classics. I needed caffeine in a bad way, but otherwise I think I would've tried one of the many tea lattes or even a shrub beverage! Everything looked great. The latte I ended up deciding on was excellent. Bonus points: they stock quite a lot of goodies, and many (all?) are local, with lots of gluten-free options. There are dairy alternatives for the drinks as well. With my little to no knowledge of the area, I can't officially say West Side is Best Side, but I'll definitely make a point to stop back here on my next drive through!

My daughter lives right around the corner and I visited the first time about a year ago and really enjoyed it. The staff is friendly, the drinks were delicious, parking a breeze, and the atmosphere is relaxing and peaceful. I went again for the 2nd time yesterday and everything was perfect. I really enjoy the atmosphere. Got lots of work done. Love that they have so many outlets that I can plug my computer in wherever I choose to sit. Met a few other nice customers, and had a wonderful tumeric tea along with a gluten free strawberry snack from Rise Bakery that the barista recommended and it was yummy. I will definitely be back.
