I used Too Good To Go and was pleasantly surprised with the variety in my bag! The croissant and the bagel needed to warmed in a microwave, but the apple crumble muffin was delicious! A great value for $5.

Unfortunately I was disappointed by the roast quality of my $27.50 bag of coffee. The espresso was both bitter and sour, inconsistent, and void of flavor complexity. A quick look at the beans revealed inconsistent roast of the beans to an extreme degree. Pictured below are beans from the bag I bought compared to a comparator bag of light roast as an example of the typical evenness in roast. I'd never blame a roaster for a bad coffee, unless the coffee is bad because of the roast.

Who would have known that an egg frittata with blueberry jam on a biscuit would be so DELICIOUS?! I came for the coffee but was delighted about that little sandwich. My coffee was excellent; I thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed to work for a little - the chairs and tables are not super conducive for staying long periods of time but I love the space generally, and think the building is super cool. They have a walk-up window too, which is nice. Oh, how could I forget the roastery?!!! I peeked through the window and thought the behind the scenes process was so dope! And the smell of freshly roasted coffee?! Cannot compare. Will certainly pop back here!

Black Acres is one of the best roasters in the region; the operation combines both quality and quantity product that is reliable and consistent in price and flavor. One of the best marketing in terms of brands all around. Best wishes to Travis and company this year.

I have never been to this coffee shop but their Aponte Honey Colombia coffee beans sold at Trader Joe’s is one of the best coffee value prop in the market. Perfectly roasted - not dark to the point where oils start separating, delicious flavor , versatile for almost any kind of extraction (maybe with the exception of a French press). Very few “hipster” roasters brands and coffee shops live up to the hype. The consistency of the bean , roast, flavor profile is definite proof that Black Acres delivers hype and more substance to coffee lovers! If you’re reading this , Don’t change anything about the Colombia Honey Aponte - please!
