Hold Fast Coffee Co

11/8/2025 Nearly a year later and my review still holds true. This place is consistently incredible. The baristas are so positive and kind, you won’t find better people anywhere else. Their drinks are works of art—visually and to the tastebuds. I always come here when I meet a new friend or need a space away from home to work on a project. You’re going to be well cared for here! If you need suggestions, I always love their lattes (make sure to check out their seasonals) and the dawn patrol sandwich. Their pastries are top-notch! I would die for the pain au chocolat (aka chocolate croissant) and the queenets. But to be honest, you can’t lose no matter what you order. Cheers to many, many more hours and lattes spent here! Thank you Holdfast team! ———————————— 11/20/2024 I love the atmosphere here. The employees are so kind. I dined in just to see if I would add this place to my coffee shop rotation and my mind was blown with positivity. Their chocolate croissant is just divine. I tried their orange cardamom latte and loved it. I was skeptical as it’s not a flavor I typically go for, and it might be my favorite latte I’ve had lately. If you are a student and need to get your school work done, a book worm in need of a cozy reading corner, or an author in need of some focus to write, COME HERE! It’s the place to be.

Sweetener is extra 😂 Just had a really adorable conversation where I learned the reason for my matcha latte (priced at 6.75 on the menu) rang up at $8.13 is because it has honey. I asked if it was standard to charge for sugar and honey and was told yes “because it’s an extra cost for them.” It’s a cost for every coffee shop, but all the others offer standard sweeteners without an extra charge. And if you were offering me something you consider a nonstandard sweetener, why did you not share that there would be an associated up charge?

Stopped by Hold Fast Coffee Co. this morning and had the Salted Caramel Rosemary Latte with the Garden Sunrise breakfast. Such a great start to my day! The latte was comforting and unique, with perfectly balanced flavors, and the breakfast was fresh, healthy, and satisfying. Everything felt thoughtfully made and full of warmth. Can’t wait to come back!

First time visit. Bought a bag of beans and get a free drip coffee with the purchase. Nice plus! Macchiato and drip were both very good. Customer service was 5 stars! Definitely coming back. Too bad they were out of stickers. 😉

This is my favorite new little coffee shop that’s popped up along Academy! I tried it for the first time with a friend the other day and loved it! Their beverages are reasonably priced and the cafe is a quiet place to work on things you need to do. I will definitely come back!
