Workhorse is one of my favorite local coffee shops. There's plenty of seating & they have a nice selection of bakery items & quiches, along with a large drink menu. Today I got an oat milk peppermint latte, which was really tasty. It was perfectly balanced between the coffee, peppermint, & oaty flavors. I also had a slice of veggie quiche, which was the perfect breakfast bite. In all, I love this spot!

I was near this coffee shop and decided to head in for a pick-me-up. The coffee bar was smaller, but felt spacious and had plenty of seating. It wasn't too busy at 2:30p afternoon. There were two baristas, both were enjoying the day and happily served coffee to the customers.I asked for a mocha and let them make whatever flavor. They made a delicious festive hot mocha! I'm glad I stopped in! I think the only "gripe" I would have, and this is always personal preference, is that it wasn't as hot as I thought it would be. But the taste made up for the lack of extra heat. Great place!

Came in early Sunday morning to get some work done. Lovely space and very friendly and kind baristas. The hot Thai iced tea was great! Loved my toasty bagel too. A great coffee shop to check out.

It's a nice enough space, though you'll need to make sure you can get parking nearby and be willing to ignore the politicization of your favorite beverage.

I was excited to try Workhorse as I have never been before and enjoy trying new coffee spots. I had a tough time finding parking as it is right on University. The environment of Workhorse was dark and made me want to sit down and read a book. I think it would be a great spot to hole up in the winter. There is not an abundance of seating but there was enough on this particular Saturday morning. I ordered an iced 16 oz latte and my bf ordered a hot latte. We both enjoyed our drinks and the price was fair as it came to a total of $13. In addition, the service was speedy and we received our coffee quickly as there were not many other customers.

I should've taken pictures but there's truly no way to show you how great my drink was, yum! I stopped in on a whim to grab my sister a tea when she wasn't feeling well and I fell in love with this cute shop. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, they greeted me and said goodbye - which really goes a long way in making your clientele feel appreciated. They had a long list of teas with some unique blends I haven't had before which is so fun. I got a large hot green tea with extra honey which they accommodated immediately. The barista also asked how long I'd like my tea to steep and offered a drink carrier. I additionally had a large Thai tea latte which I'd never tried before (I'm a lover of Thai milk tea on its own so I was curious) and it was sooooo good. Amazingly sweet and creamy with the perfect amount of foam on top. It came out hot but just barely drinkable which is the perfect temperature in my opinion so it had plenty of time to cool. The ambience was so cute too with lots of tables looking out towards the street and plenty of study/work place. Bonus points for having a wall for local media and postings in the back, I love reading what's happening in my community while I wait for my drink. This was a fantastic experience and their staff and beverages both surpassed my expectations for what was just supposed to be a quick stop. I will definitely be returning and telling my friends about this place!

Just stopped in for a caffeine pick-me-up while I was in the area. I'm usually a pretty friendly, outgoing person but today was feeling very lackluster. The barista working was still so lovely to me! Idk if she could tell I was feeling a bit off but her kindness was noticed :). Ordered the iced miel with almond milk. 10/10 for both service and coffee!

Always fun to find new coffeeshops, and after working at the U for so long, I'm surprised it took me this long to find this spot! Parking is rough in this area...I had to drive around a while to find a spot, and ended up on Territorial Ave with a decent walk to get to the spot. Not really "a grab a coffee and go" spot unless you're travelling on foot. The space itself was okay...nothing too special but there's some seating available for yourself or a small group. Service was really friendly during my stay. Now this spot has decent coffee but when paired with the highest pricetags I've seen in the area, it makes it a bit harder to swallow. A bagel and a latte came out to $14 after tip. Good spot, but high prices and parking troubles make it a bit challenging to recommend.

I really like this place. The barista's are very friendly and fast with their preparation of drinks. They're obviously well trained. I've gotten two drinks from here that I've really liked. An ice coffee and the chai latte. The only points off are for the atmosphere. It needs a bit more funk, art.
