“ My first choice in coffee tasting this weekend was Dawson Taylor so I went straight there after checking out of my hotel. Upon arrival, Dylann greeted me with a shining smile. I knew this was going to be a good shop. The presence of dogs also made me excited plus everyone around was so nice. The Christian music playing in the background was a plus for me. I asked Dylann for a sample of the espresso beans with a bit of vanilla flavoring, and it was very creamy plus the bold flavor of the coffee was amazing! It was still smooth despite the strength so I bought a bag of the Espresso Primo for my machine back home. I also got to try the Misty Valley drip coffee and it was interesting! Very subtle sweetness in the coffee. I love how they give you a free cup of drip coffee with your bean purchase! That only makes this experience even better! I hope to be back again someday. Thank you Dawson Taylor for an awesome experience! ”
“ Best place to grab a coffee..batista s are fantastic. Not only great coffee but they also roast there so the smells are free and amazing...grab some to go.. ”
“ A wise friend once told me you know a coffee shop is good when you walk in and see a pour over menu. That advice had yet to prove me wrong. Delicious coffee, great vibe, calm, and they have burlap sacks for free if you are looking for some art projects ”
“ Enjoyed some Dawson Taylor coffee as I walked around Freak Alley. Some of the best coffee in the Valley! Awesome, friendly staff who make a fantastic latte!! Definitely going again! ”
“ This is another Dawson Taylor in town, it doesn’t offer as many seats as the DT in downtown, but it is more stylish. It also has that coffee storage area that you can take a peek at. The staff are very friendly and welcoming , they make different latte arts for each cup, which is very nice. This place is even more popular than the downtown shop on weekends, so be prepared that you may have a 10 min wait for your drink. ”
“ My favorite local roaster! Their espresso blend is my go-to, particularly at the price. Always very fresh and love that they include a fresh cup of coffee with the order. Great service too ”
“ I believe DT does the best job in the valley with their roasting- maybe even in the inland NW! The baristas are usually consistent and the whole beans, which are well-sourced, are sold at a reasonable price. The environment- especially at Roast in the Lusk District, is easy, not pretentious, and usually a great place to get a few chapters in. ”
“ We frequent DT downtown location and had a rather surprisingly negative experience there today, so we popped over to this location. Apparently, our business wasn’t needed at the downtown location since it was inconvenient for the baristas there. No worries at all, though, as this location was not only willing and able to accommodate but the barista was extremely friendly and the vibe was much better! If you were open on Sundays we’d be in there every Sunday morning before hitting Ann Mo. My entire office loved the to-go drip coffee (they don’t get spoiled often so thank you for accommodating!) and I was more than willing to wait at either location to make that happen. Such a cute place in a great location. We will definitely make a point to come back. ”
