| - So this place has a few kinks. Of course, this place opened not even 2 weeks ago. We went on a Saturday, so I anticipated a long wait but I was so excited, I stalked Yelp, their Facebook and Instagram to be informed of any changes in their business hours, etc.
We arrived at 8:06am, approximately 6 minutes after they opened. On our drive there, I discovered from their Instagram that they were out of the supplies to be able to make their Butter Brew specialty. Que disappointment, but was still eager to try other things on the menu anyway. Previously had their Biscoff (cookie butter) latte, and it was AMAZING.
There was a sign on the door that read 'Out of Butter Brew', so they do a good job at communicating. We walked in and the line was so long, it took us a few minutes to figure out where the line ended so that we could stand there without being in the way of the patrons at the tables. I asked a group of beauty school looking peeps if they were the end of the line and they kinda shrug-answered me. Guess they REALLLY needed their coffee to activate their personalities. Anyway, discovered that they were at the back of the line so we took our place in the back.
There is a clip board that the menu is attached to. Pretty cool for those at the end of the line who would otherwise not be able to see an actual menu.
The Harry Potter theme is strong. While waited in line, we saw person after person pose with the white owl perched in its cage at Platform 9 3/4. Some were even sporting their mustard and maroon Harry scarves.
The wait turned out to be pretty long. Like, 40 minutes long. We chose a huge butter croissant, a chocolate chip muffin, a blended Macha and two white chocolate mochas, blended. They were pretty tasty. I gobbled up my croissant while waiting for my drink. Sorry 'bout the crumbs. For 2 pastries and 3 blended drinks (and with a nice tip), our bill was $26. Pretty on par with 'specialty' coffee places.
The two identical white chocolate mochas were different in color (one was almost pure white like vanilla bean, the other had the coffee color and taste). Of course, the line was too scary to try to jump back in, and the workers were so frazzled because they were so busy, we decided it wasn't that big of an issue.
Cool atmosphere, customer service was just 'OK'. The cashier was probably too stressed to crack a smile. The concept, theme and the product is brilliant, though. Side note: Umpqua oats oatmeal is sold here, and it looks like they are a local company- I'm all about supporting local business.
Tip: If waiting in a massive line here, get the 'MSQRD' app and take a selfie using the Harry Potter filter. Align it with Platform 9 3/4 and white owl. *mind blown*
