Crimson Cup Coffee Shop Clintonville

I came through the drive thru to order a coffee I had ordered the first time I went there that was really good. (Had a good first experience so I wanted to try it again) I tried to get that same coffee again. The guy told me cherry blossom cold foam is popular right now so I decided to try it on top of my cold brew. When I got to the window and tried it, I told him I wasn’t a fan and he didn’t try to do anything to help fix it. He just told me to have a good day. So I just spent money on a coffee I’m not even going to drink. Really was excited about getting Crimson cup this morning and left disappointed. Take this as you will. The Mexican corn stuffed bagel ball was awesome though. I also work in the service industry and I treat others the way I want to be treated. I also never make reviews.

I keep trying this location because their seasonal drinks always sound awesome, but without fail, their espresso is bitter. I'm not sure if this is location specific or what, because I've been to several other cafes that serve Crimson Cup beans and they're always good.

I always tell my friends, it 's what Starbucks thinks it is . The drinks here are absolutely fantastic. The baked goods are fresh and I think are made locally, same day. If you get there later in the day they will be out. Everyone I have encounter that works there has been super friendly. I normally use drive thru, but I have been inside on a few occasions. The inside is clean, well lit, and trendy. There is not a whole lot of seating, but enough for those who like to sit and drink. There is a small outside seating area as well.

We stopped at the drive through for iced tea after a soccer game and got some black tea and it tasted like dish soap, not tea. I went inside and exchanged them for green teas but unfortunately that tasted like soap as well. Maybe we will just stick to coffee here.

Friendly staff- stopped in because they are on the Experience Cbus coffee trail- I will be back because of the staff, coffee and atmosphere! They have a similar set up to the big name Seattle company- but that is where the similarities end. The coffee is fresh and delicious, not pretentious and the staff doesn't make you use words that don't mean what they use them for!! The atmosphere is chill and even though it's a massively hot day today or felt cool inside. This is a drive to and meet a friend for coffee location! Really glad i discovered what everyone else already knows!
