LACKAWANNA COFFEE

I have been to this location twice. The first time I went, the barista who was a lady, served us very professionally. She made our drinks fast, and had a very beautiful latte art, a tulip, for our turkish latte. The drinks were fantastic because the espresso tasted good, the milk had a perfect (not too hot, not too cold) temperature, so you could really feel the flavors in the cup. Second time, we ordered 3 drinks under a different male barista. I had noticed that the male barista was very lazy at pouring milk and most likely frothing it. He would pour the whole jug at a super fast pace without really caring. Our drinks came in with zero canvas or latte art in our drink which was extremely disappointing. Also the milk was too hot, so the flavor of the espresso burnt, and well the drinks tasted worse than Starbucks. He also just had a pretty off attitude working there. Overall, I find this place pretty inconsistent as it is based solely on the barista working there. My advice, fire the male barista, keep the female barista. While, I really enjoy the place and the female barista’s drinks, I would not come to the location again for coffee as it is unreliable.

Great place to have a coffee hangout. Relatively quiet place and area. Parking is a bit tough to find but the place is really nice. The staff is very friendly and the food and drinks are wonderful. The good are always fresh and seems like they probably bake them fresh every day. They are also one of the best places for a “too good to go” order in the area. They give plenty of food for a small fees and the staff has already prepared pretty packages for pickup. Definitely a must visit cafe in JC!
