Pond Coffee

Kind of disappointed, we walked here for our morning vacation coffee and got an iced vanilla matcha and iced vanilla latte. Matcha was watered down, no vanilla - and the latte was basically all milk, no vanilla and hardly a hint of espresso. It was kind of pricey for drinks that we just threw out along the walk. Cute ambiance, the kitchen was shut down due to the holidays so we didn't taste the food (no pastries or anything either). I'd hesitate to come back because both of our drinks just weren't that good...the service was alright, lady behind the counter was nice.

Great spot to grab some coffee! May not be the best place to do work however, if you are good at focusing on your computer, and tuning other people out - this could work for you. I could not work on certain projects in here because it is not a very big space, and I should've taken that into account. However, they do have great plug in outlets ( if your laptop fits in the middle area.) There is also some food inside, but it is not Pond coffee. Both pond and the food place give top-notch service though! Good vibes and good people here. (just don't expect a lot of space if that's what you need to work.)

I ordered an oat milk latte to go with my order from Small Mart. This was lovely-the latte has a distinct flavor, I tasted berries. It had a velvety froth as well. I would highly recommend them-they have great items for sale as well.

This great little shop in the Bywater neighborhood serves up excellent coffee with a friendly and welcoming vibe. The guys who run this shop are true coffee craftsman and the proof is in flavor. The place has a laid back feel that made me want to hang out there all day!

Incredibly good tasting espresso/milk drinks. I had a cappuccino, which often just masks poorly made espresso. But the espresso here was sweet, strong and incredibly good - and you could taste it through virtually anything, and definitely through the perfectly warmed (not scalding) milk. Fast service with freshly ground coffee, made a mostly manual machine, by someone who doesn't stop moving. Seating for 10 at tables, with some benches on the edges. Easy walk near Piety in Bywater; perfect for a sunny day.

One of the best tasting Matcha lattes I've had. It wasn't too sugary. It was a great balance of the Matcha taste in the milk taste. Who knew oat milk would taste so good with Matcha?!

There are coffee shops and then there is Pond. The quality of the people and the coffee are incomparable. Whether you are just popping in for an iced matcha (best in town) or needing to sit and think over a cappuccino (also best in town) this place does not disappoint.

Cortado on point! I didn't get to hang long but I'd bet the people watching here is also stellar

Such flavorful coffee! Love their lattes-- the flavor is smooth but strong and they make them look so beautiful :). You definitely pay for the quality, but it's worth it as a nice treat on the weekend.

Best latte I've had in a while! They only use oat milk, and they have MASTERED frothing it. 10/10 vibes as well.
