Constellation Coffee is a modern and minimalistic little coffee shop, and it works really well for them. I've been wanting to come here for quite some time and I'm glad I finally got around to it!
The atmosphere is more clean and simplistic than it is warm. That being said, it still has a really nice aesthetic and I think I would enjoy hanging out here for awhile. There are a few tables near the front of the store by the large windows, a few tables near the bar area, and then some larger tables and bench areas in a back room. I wish we had been able to get one of the tables at the front of the shop, but it seems like these are the ones that probably go the quickest since there's so much nice natural light there. There are not many paintings on the walls, and everything feels really clean cut and contemporary. I absolutely love their branding - the font they use for their logo is beautiful, and I like the way they put stars on the hand stamped cups.
I had a hot chocolate here this time - I don't really know why, I was just in the mood. The cocoa itself was not really anything special if I'm being honest; it didn't seem chocolatey or flavorful enough for me, which was kind of a letdown. However, the presentation was beautiful and it put a huge smile on my face when I saw the colorful marshmallows on top of the drink. They reminded me of my childhood and I thought it was a cute touch.
I definitely need to come back again to try more of the drinks. While the hot chocolate wasn't my favorite, I did really enjoy the atmosphere and the clean vibes. Hopefully I'll be back soon!
