Faaantastic coffee shop!! Staff are FANTASTIC humans that always try to put a smile on your face as soon as you walk in. The atmosphere is very cozy & intimate but you can easily read and study for hours here! HIGHLY RECOMMEND REACTOR!!
After years of being a consistent Scooters girl to then seven brew, I have since switched up to Reactor and it has been the best switch up of my life. As a caffeine fueled ADHD entrepreneur having a coffee that slaps every time has kept me sane. You don't have to worry that a drink you order regularly will taste different each time. The prices are great, vibes are great, coffee is great. 10/10
Excellent coffee shop! It's fun to see what the experiment of the week is. The staff is amazing! They are also dog friendly!
Coffee is not strong at all. Americano tastes too watered down. 20 oz latte had 3 shots apparently but tasted very milky. Reviews by “coffee snobs” was why we decided to give this place a shot. Won’t be back. Waffles were decent. Nothing special either.
First off, I am a coffee snob and I love me some good coffee. So this review is going to have technical terms and it might be a bit nerdy. But for those of you who don't want to read the whole thing, in summary, before I describe in detail, love the place and the atmosphere. You need to go here! Now in depth: Food: I told the barista to surprise me with my drink. She did not disappoint. I don't remember the name of it, but it had something like s'mores and cinnamon. It was a latte and I loved it! The baristas know what they're doing! The balance of the coffee with the flavor was excellent. The milk consistency was fantastic and the barista did a wonderful job with there Astoria espresso machine. Atmosphere: I loved all the decorations and the cute mugs on the wall! If you are sitting down inside, use one of their cute mugs! They had some really nice decorations and it felt very homey. Good light and it felt very comfortable. There wasn't any music playing, which I loved. It is a dog friendly place!!! That is huge for me! This is my new favorite coffee shop! The only thing I wish for improvement was the size of the coffee shop And parking. Parking was pretty tight. The first time I went, I parked a block away. The first time I went, I parked a block away. But that's a good sign! The coffee shop feels a little bit like a hole in the wall and if you enjoy that aesthetic, check it out! I do like my space and I felt a little bit cramped. Service: The barista was fantastic! Kind, clear, and knew what she was doing. Overall, this feels like a mom and pop shop. I love those types of places and will definitely be going back! I am sold on this place.

Where every cup is an experiment in exceptional coffee and cozy vibes.
