Reviews Summary

Fifth St. Coffee Roasting Co. is praised for its excellent, fresh-tasting coffee, particularly specialty drinks like the lavender chai latte and sugar-free vanilla iced latte. The cozy ambiance with dimmed lighting and indoor/outdoor seating is also a highlight. However, some patrons have found the service to be bland or unfriendly, and the flavor of certain lattes to be unremarkable.

"Love stopping here for coffee and dessert. Coffee was well made, loved cardamom flavour, marble cake was moist and a generous slice, enough for 2 people."

"Best coffee in town by far! Hands down no competition! Love the sugar free vanilla iced latte 😋 😍. Customer service is great, the employees and owners will have you leaving with a smile 😃. I literally go there everyday, good way to start the morning."

Alberto Duran

"The only thing that was nice/good about this place was their set up. The lights are dimmed which is perfect if you are trying to just enjoy a coffee and a book or watching the people walk by. The coffee was plain and had no coffee or vanilla flavor for what it was (vanilla latte) and just throwing an idea out there, it would be nice if they heated up their pastries. And the service was bland. The lady with the shoulder length brunette hair was rude and not friendly at all but I have now given it try and know."
