Medici Roasting

Medici Roasting's Springdale Road location is home to their newest café and their roasting facility, surrounded by studios, creative offices and other small businesses. The room's open and full of light, with high ceilings, a wall of windows, couches, bar stools, tables, a big patio and plenty of parking.

The iced vanilla lavender espresso is the signature and the one to try first. The cortado's dependable, and hibiscus tea and a matcha latte cover the non-coffee side.

There are big tables and lots of outlets, so it's set up for working, though the wifi can drop now and then. It's roomy enough for a coffee date or a first meeting. Dogs are welcome on the patio.
