Shot Tower Coffee

I'm writing this review live from the high top counter facing true West in Shot Tower, watching the yellow leaves fall down from the sycamore tree while sipping on my espresso doble from this baby blue espresso cup with Stevie Ray Vaughn's Little Wing cover in my chorded apple headphones. Okay I don't know if it's actually a sycamore tree but that was the first tree name that came to my head so I let it fly.For full transparency, this is my 2nd time here today and it's only 12:13pm lol so that should tell you everything you need to know.The natural light is flooding in here like that cute girl's DMs getting flooded after she deletes the pics with her boyfriend of 2+ years. Get em up fellas!!There is ample seating in this beautiful open floor plan... hol up let me count..... Okay yeah I counted 32 seats... but don't quote me on that I caught eyes with a few people as I was scanning and it was super awk so I'm not recounting.They make a MEAN Dirty Chai Latte with oat milk, as that is my budded love interest's go-to drink. It's honestly so gas lol I may be a convert from my espresso/black cold brew... but don't tell her that it would go straight to her head and she already be chirping me enough.The staff here always greets me with a smile and has good energy. This is an ideal place to get some work done, sit and read, or take a zoom call with your therapist when in Queen Village. Oh yeah, I read hehe haha :)I could write a whole novel on my newfound love for Queen Village, and I will one day. What a calm, quaint, and character-rich neighborhood this is. I'm obsessed.IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov__

Got a vanilla latte and didn't taste any vanilla and wasn't sweet. Service was fine. Seating inside and outside. Coffee tastes okay not great.

Clean. Friendly staff. Very nice neighborhood feel cafe. Kids books available. Community table available, plenty of space for everyone. Good coffee and good selection of pastries.Can't wait to go back!

Little neighborhood coffee spot. Nice place to work online but can be hard to get a seat sometimes. I feel like the coffee can be inconsistent, price is reasonable.

Shot Tower has a neighborhood vibe, nestled between Queen Village and Bella Vista. I was here in winter, but I imagine the foliage in fall or blooms in Spring would be even more aesthetic. I had an iced latte, and the espresso in a glass was very good and certainly a bit more evironmentally conscious. I was envious of the blue coffee mugs and their espresso blue mug offspring. The ambiance of real wood tables free standing and set against the windowed perimeter with real chairs and natural light is a studier's paradise or workaholic's weekend escape. I fall into the latter.Food was the only downside. They only had bagels and cream cheese at day's end, but that was executed well. With a few more food options, with mild music and the sound only of clinking glasses and mugs, this might be a regular spot as I write a paper.Cheers!

I had an iced americano and it tasted like what I'd imagine garbage water would taste like. I mean just disgusting coffee. Even though it tasted like poison I thanked them for the coffee and went about my business. The person working there today was rude and treated me coldly. I just wanted a coffee and a calm place to work, but I got stared down and disregarded by the staff. They need DEI training and a way to report these incidences. It is a quiet spot to work, so that gets one star.

A wonderful neighborhood cafe with welcoming barista, also very skilled! I do have to say in the midst of this pandemic where many employees are leaving and not being treated well, this barista was a ray of sunshine. I ordered matcha latte, it was so pretty, but I have to say it was the best tasting matcha latte in town. I have tried matcha latte at other cafes and they either have strong matcha flavor or too weak. This latte was perfectly balanced! It made me so happy finally being able to taste a well balanced matcha latte! It has a nice interior space, but enough outdoor's tables and chairs.

Super nice ambience and location The coffee is just the elixir brand Roastery, which is of course quite good, but they are not roasting their own coffee. I also do not believe they're making their own bakers which means that this is just a very nice local coffee shop.

Great atmosphere good coffee and pleasant and friendly service lots of different customers come and go - and dogs and babies too!

i go here very often before or after school, since i go to one of the schools just around the corner. it's a wonderful, place, and i couldn't ask for more! service, food, and drinks are wonderful. by now the barista who's usually there when i go already knows what i'm going to order when i walk in! not to mention i love the seating. the window seats are great and there's outlets under them, and the seats in the middle are really fun too, since they swing. there's soft background music playing and it makes for great ambiance, along with the wonderful decor. nothing i would change! keep doing what you're doing, shot tower.
