Really enjoyed this location of Barriques Coffee. Great spot for work, yummy drinks (Mexican Mocha), and great service. I also enjoyed the cheddar chive scone and the tuna melt was surprisingly delicious!

I always love getting their seasonal coffee flavors (and coolers)! When it's warm out, I love when the garage-style doors are open. Such a great place for studying or a quick break.

Stopped by here passing through on a longer road trip. The place was crowded and I probably waited in line for 5-10 minutes. I ordered one of their Fall Lattes. It was made very well and better than I expected. The coffee was smooth and less acidic than other places. Overall, a good experience.

Ordered one of the speciality drinks, Mexican mocha..loved the drink.. with it's spicy cayenne twist. The other coffee white chocolate mocha didn't have any taste of white mocha in it sadly. The food looks good and the menu has decent choices.wide range of wine and free WiFi.. definitely would recommend this place.

Absolutely love spending mornings on this patio. Espresso chocolate scone is rich and the perfect bitter-sweet combo in a pastry.

The pulled pork quesadilla is very tasty! Pick your own chips and you've got a yummy meal, enough food to fill you up but light enough to keep you feeling good after eating it. Plenty of electrical plugs everywhere for people to plug in.

Oh my goodness. I wish I lived here so that I could come often. Tried the Mexican mocha and it was so incredible that I’ll probably be trying to find another coffee that good for years. Huge fan of the pesto grilled cheese.
