Over the past couple of years this place has become a favorite of mine. My favorite drink there is the matcha latte--with honey and cinnamon the sweetness perfectly balances matcha's natural bitterness. I also enjoy the hibiscus Italian soda.
The food is excellent and unique as well. They serve a great avocado toast (Garden Toast on the menu). You get a whole smashed avocado with tasty fixings and a very flavorful balsamic drizzle on sourdough toast. There's enough to it to make a meal by itself. The pastries are quite good and available in gluten-free and gluten-full versions. The owners are passionate about producing high-quality items and are responsive to feedback. We've had occasional bumps--a chai tea that was a bit gritty, or a matcha that didn't get so much matcha--but they are on it and get it fixed. It's a place that continues to improve.The atmosphere invites you to stay awhile and enjoy your comestibles. It's a small shop, about 6 tables, with lots of games, books, and a comfortable space for visiting. Service is friendly and enthusiastic. It's not cheap, but I think it's in line with other independent shops. The owners love to share their knowledge--you can arrange for classes in brewing and roasting coffee.
Conduit Coffee welcomes and affirms the LGBTQ+ community, and this is apparent when you come in. If you want to get your coffee fix by supporting an independent shop, this is a great place to come.
