Poetica Coffee

Olly Shevchuk

It's my wonderful neighborhood coffee shop! I like to enjoy a little bit of their refreshing Arnold Palmer while sitting on the bench right outside of the shop. They bake soft and buttery croissants that my mom likes to buy for me to enjoy with my special drink that the barista makes just for me. Also they have a cool backyard with WiFi for grownups to do their work and since everyone is already tired of sitting at home this happens to be very nice! This is why I give this shop, 5 Stars!🌸

Thank you for bringing back your delicious lemon bar! It’s a perfect accompaniment to your bold americano. And thank you to the nice barista who was kind and efficient. Smith street is so great! What a nice street, with nice businesses and nice people ❤️

I had a great study session here, i enjoyed the outdoor seating. The baristas were nice to talk to, and not just in a short friendly "welcome" way, in a real, they really wanted to know me way. Try the matcha, i recommend it, however the pastries were just not really for me, personal preference

came in today for a few hours and got a lot of work done. okay, *some* work done. but still immaculate work vibes. the music was good from what i could hear, even though i had my own headphones. also very clean and the bathroom was clean too which definitely matters. their cold brew was pretty solid.

This has been the third time that I have gone to poetica to get a chai latte with almond milk. Irregular size is 626 and I have been charged $7.10 for the large size and yet they give me the regular size it’s not to say that the place is busy usually I’m the only one at the register but the fact that they keep overcharging me and giving me something that I did not ask for is lack of customer service. I’m gonna take my money elsewhere.

There is no excuse for this. I understand that baristas and managers have no control over what graffiti is left in an establishment's restroom, but it is abysmal that this has been left to be seen by customers without someone taking action to cover it up. I only regret that I did not raise this issue to the barista on staff, but as a visibly Jewish customer, I hope that anyone seeing this can understand that I would not feel comfortable if these are the types of patrons welcomed here. That said, this should not be a privately-raised concern. This is in a public restroom for anyone to see, and three blocks away from a synagogue. If someone felt like they could leave this here, and nobody bothered to cover it up, that is a public message to the local Jewish community. So here is mine.

It was an expensive cup of coffee. The shop smelled very stinky of cleaning detergent. Maybe Fabuloso. So I took my coffee to go. But unfortunately my paper cup was so saturated with the smell- that I could actually smell and taste the cleaner OVER the coffee. Ungraceful.
