The return of Crown Station is very welcomed. And I'm glad they chose this nice spot in NoDa! They have a great space here (definitely larger compared to their last place on Elizabeth). They have large roll up windows that really give it an open feeling during the summer and plenty of natural light when they are closed up during the winter. They have a really cool comfy corner where you grab a coffee during the day and get your work done or grab a nice cold drink while talking it up with friends during the evening.
They always are hosting some type of event featuring lots of local talent and most of the time benefitting a local charity. They serve up coffee and have a full bar with a solid amount of taps for local craft beer. They serve coffee late into the night which is awesome because you can't really find a coffee place like this anywhere else (that isn't mainstream).
The bartenders are super nice and eccentric and know their coffee and their booze. Very friendly and ready to serve! All walks of life can find something for them in Crown Station. They've got games and also plenty of outdoor space to hang around outside when the weather is good. Just a short walk away from 36th Street Station on the light rail. Technically it's a little north of "heart of NoDa" but with all the great businesses opening up North or 36th Street. The heart of NoDa is just growing larger! If you get hungry step next door and order from the Noodle Shop. Excellent food and CS encourages you to eat it while drinking a cold brew from the bar.
Also allow me to humble brag for making it to 200 reviews. Wanted this one to be a good one and couldn't think of a better business to review next! Yay 200 reviews!!
