A delightful coffee shop! They have wonderfully flavored coffee and espresso, and unique drink flavors— both the rosemary and bourbon vanilla lattes are unique and a culinary experience. I highly recommend! The ambiance is call and peaceful, it feels like a mountain lodge coffee shop. A break away from busy city life

This review isnt of the place, its of one of the coffees they serve. Which if you go there you will find I would suppose .I found this roaster by reading Coffee Review online and thought I would give them a try. I am drinking the Pacamara Collaborative and into my second cup. First impressions are that this medium to light roast is bright and very clean. Its a delicate coffee, not over roasted but taken to the perfect roast profile .It is really quite wonderful. Its actually a distinct coffee and is a cross breeding of two coffee trees ,the dwarf Pacas and the taller Maragogype tree. Its a creamy, full bodied coffee with so many beautiful floral notes. I drink coffees from all over and this is a very pleasant surprise indeed. The first thing I noticed were the larger size beans which is typical of this coffee. Yeah Pacamara and Reprise. You also get my vote for one of the most beautiful coffee bags I have ever seen on this planet. Great job Reprise and thank you for supporting the farmers in your efforts. As they have a right to live a life without poverty and get paid a fair price for their coffee.. Simply put, you folks rock.
Update:
I drink coffee from all over the world. Ive been to Intelligentsia coffee shop, Klatch and Vivace to name a few in my travels I also have as my main coffee, a shop close by Sunergos Coffee. Another stellar coffee house with master roaster...Deeds Burlager. I found this coffee at Reprise so enchanting I ordered four more bags. Good job Reprise. You are a great coffee house in my opinion . The Pacamara is a great coffee.Great coffee is no accident it takes a passion.
I discovered Reprise while in Chicago visiting my daughter. I discovered quickly you must order from their menu - no special orders. At the look of dismay on my face, the baristas quickly recommended a latte they thought I was sure to be pleased with.
Indeed I was! Absolutely perfect. Not too sweet or too hot. The employees (owners?) Were very nice, the vibe was calm, and I felt very comfortable sitting alone while looking out the window. Definitely recommend!
Multiple reasons to like this coffee spot and it is preferred and liked by people I know including myself.
Although sometimes well over an hour before closing time they will not have brewed coffee available, and being a coffee shop like this, they should.
I’m definitely not for wasting coffee, but just make a half of a pot or a quarter of a pot instead of a full one.
An Americano is not the same. Also, lately, the price on their in-store menu did not match the price at the register, and the employee was not able to change it.
