Coffee Aficionado's Delight with Brunch Options
My experience at this coffee shop was fantastic, truly a place for real coffee aficionados! I was impressed by the great coffee roasting selections. Beyond coffee, they also offer great breakfast options.
For those looking to extend their visit into brunch, they even have great wine selections. The atmosphere and service were both rated a perfect 5, and the food also received a 5-star rating. It's also noted as kid-friendly, welcoming even dogs, and offers free street parking, though finding a spot can be somewhat difficult.
Wheelchair accessibility is available. The price per person is between $10–20.

Mixed Drinks, Good Service
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. I ordered the Thrilli Vanilli, which I found to be very poor, tasting like coffee-flavored water with a faint hint of fall spice. However, my friends ordered an espresso and an iced latte, which were infinitely better than my drink and redeemed the overall beverage experience.
Despite the drink disappointment, I will give this place another try. The service was excellent, rated 5/5, and the food received a 4/5. The atmosphere was also rated well at 4/5.

Cool Vibes and Awesome Espresso!
My experience at this lowkey coffee shop was fantastic! The vibes were the coolest, and the service was great. I was impressed by the awesome espresso selection.
Although I was just stopping by in the area, I'll definitely make a note to revisit next time. I highly recommend the figgy pudding. Thanks, guys!

Good Coffee, Difficult Parking
I ordered a large Palo Santo latte with gluten-free oat milk. The coffee was rich and creamy but lacked a little foam. It was nothing extraordinary, but it was good.
I've tried going here a few times before, but parking is difficult to find. Today I found parking, so I stopped by. Although it was good, I don't think I will be coming back, as I can find this grade of coffee in many other coffee shops.
I give it a 3. 7 out of 5.

Friendly Staff, Great Drinks & Burritos!
After a disappointing experience at Bica Coffee, I came here and had a much better time. The staff were friendly and the drinks were great. I also enjoyed the burritos, which were very good.

Exceptional Espresso and Attentive Service
This was my third visit to Torque Coffee, and my experience was once again outstanding. I ordered an espresso and a cortado made with their Anaerobic Natural Costa Rica Black Diamond, and both were absolutely delicious, perfectly hitting all the flavor notes. Torque Coffee is definitely the place to go for specialty espresso or pour-over.
A special shoutout to Michelle & Taylor for their exceptional care and attention to detail, which is rare and truly enhances both the taste and presentation. They even preheat the SPRO cup for in-house orders! It's clear why Torque is a neighborhood favorite, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
