Service was prompt, music was solid, and the coffee was incredible. I got a standard iced latte with oat milk (they don't charge for alt milks, yay!) and it was perfectly balanced. Indoor felt spacious, with plenty of room between tables allowing for privacy and potentially getting work done. Prices were fair given 3rd-wave coffee and ambiance. Would definitely return!
Im not usually a fan of flavored coffee but the orange late was just enough flavor without being overwhelming and added a nice twist to it. They also had a bunch of different cold brew options which I think I will give a go next time. The only downside that I was a bit bummed by was the lack of mugs and glasses. the staff was pretty friendly with great recommendations and was pretty quick for a long line. The atmosphere was pretty nice as well with a modern minimalist look that has a decent amount of natural lighting.
Always have wonderful drinks and a wonderful time! I’ve never been disappointed and go almost once every other week! I hosted a journal club and the team was so accommodating. Everyone absolutely loved their drinks and food, cannot recommend Holsem enough for brunch, a coffee date or a place to do a bit of work! Will be back again next week!
I walked in expecting some nice third wave coffee, but sadly was met with medium-dark roast stuff that was not that great. I walked into the shop, met a nice lady, and I ordered the espresso. I asked what roast they did, and the lady didn't even know. I ordered the espresso, and sat in what felt like an empty hall with minimal decor. They didn't call my name with the espresso, and gave it to me in a to-go cup(I didn't ask for it to-go). It didn't taste great either. Good equipment, but it was heavily over extracted, tasting like the temp was also too high.
If you’re looking for a cozy spot to relax, get some work done, or just enjoy a good drink, this place is worth checking out. I stumbled upon it and was pleasantly surprised. It offers plenty of indoor seating along with a few outdoor tables. The space is clean, well-organized, and has a great atmosphere—definitely a solid choice for studying or being productive. The service is friendly and welcoming; everyone I interacted with was super nice. The menu features some creative drink options, like a banana cold brew, which I tried and really enjoyed—it was perfectly balanced, not too sweet or too strong. I’d definitely come back!
