Elevate Coffee - Uptown

My Coffee Shop Preferences: Shops with space to do work; good parking; good WiFi; open during afternoon hours; NOT a coffee snob, but generally judges a shop by its black coffee unless a specialty item is hyped; won't judge a place by its food, which is usually made from somewhere elsePictures on Yelp were a bit misleading on the type of place it was--the name and professionally shot pictures gave me something a bit more upscale but in reality it's a simple neighborhood shop. Street parking was pretty accessible in the morning on Wilson. The Barista was pleasant and quick to make my drink. After reading so many reviews about the Horchata Cold Brew, I decided to try it out. Unfortunately, as someone who loves traditional horchata, it really doesn't hold up. It's not a bad beverage but the drink simply tastes like slightly sweet cold brew sprinkled with cinnamon on top. I could have probably supplemented it with milk to create the creaminess associated with horchata, but I'm only judging it for how it was presented.The space itself is somewhat small but not busy and has many outlets and tables to do work. However, within a few minutes, my WiFi disconnected and I couldn't find the network afterwards. If you're in the neighborhood, I think it's a nice local establishment but not particularly worth making the trek.

DID YALL KNOW THIS PLACE HAS A HORCHATA COLD BREW? holy shit bro 10/10 on thati am not a Coffee Person like i'd prefer my coffee to look like my skin in the dead of winter with the amount of creamer i'm sloshin in that shit BUT yum yum good on this place the place is very cute i do love this place i'm gonna try and go to different coffee shops every Wednesday because now i'm back in school (lame) and need a reason to leave my house on Wednesdays cause my gym isn't open then.

I came here the weekend they first opened as I was excited that the space quickly got filled again with another coffee shop after the last one closed. The staff here was very friendly - much friendlier than the staff from the last coffee shop. Coffee was fantastic and the little food bites we got from here was great! Love that they have the little walk-up window to order from as well. The inside has been transformed and feels much more modern than before - yet they still kept some of the classic elements. Glad to have Elevate in our neighborhood!

Elevate is one of my favorite coffee shops in the area. They always have a great selection of standard/seasonal drinks and their breakfast sandwiches are yummo! Ordering online is easy, but they also have a cute, cozy indoor area that has a few tables if you want to enjoy your coffee inside. The barista is also great!

This was a highly recommended spot near our Airbnb and I was sadly disappointed. This drink tasted like cinnamon water and the glass was filled to the brim with ice, which may have been part of the issue. This was not coffee, it was water with cinnamon and a tablespoon of cold brew and horchata. Maybe I ordered the wrong item but I know a cold brew is not supposed to be this watery.

Nice and clean place. Friendly staff , must try Belgium mocha (milk chocolate) latte.

Worst coffee I've ever had, had to throw it out after a few sips. Got the salted caramel cold brew and it tasted like ocean water mixed with Cheap coffee. The barista was super sweet though and the walk up is a cool concept.

If I can do half I was 2.5 stars...There drinks on photos looks delicious creamy and all.. but it's really simple not not creamy at all.. I had the coconut first time and the second horchata cold brew but very watery not creamy like the photos.. :/ deceiving and disappointed

The best coffee I've tried in a while! Coconut honey latte with very balanced lavender flavor, WOW! Staff is super nice and friendly too

The Atmosphere was relaxing, drinks were great, and the baristas Matt and Lucy were very friendly!
