What I like the most here is the vibe and decor of the shop. You can enjoy the neighborhood/community feel here. The shop encouraged to bring your own cup as well :) The coffee here is also great. I ordered the latte and it is very smooth. It might be too smooth that I don't feel the bitter taste of coffee lol. I tried pastry one and it is reasonable as well.

Oh my gosh. One of the best cups of coffee I have ever had! I had a latte with almond milk and I can not believe how delicious it was. My partner tried the CO2 infused coffee and loved it. I got to try it too and was surprised at how refreshing it was. Delicious and innovative. We were visiting from far away, but next time we are there we will from now on make it a point to grab a coffee and some beans from Pinhole!

Some great baked goods and delicious coffee. Great outdoor space. What more can you ask for?

I love places like this. Nestled in the middle of a community and very easy to pass if you're not looking for it. The interior is cute with hand drawn art on the wall, neon looking lighting on the ceiling, and natural wood seating. Definitely a vibey place to chill at and drink some coffee.

The espresso tonic was good, but I think it could benefit from a little bit of sweetness. That is our fault for not requesting that, but we assumed the "tonic" (or seltzer water they used) would have some type of sweetness. I also ordered a cappuccino which was just okay. The beans they used for it didn't really complement the sweetness of the milk for me and as a result it just kind of fell flat for me.

This place is most definitely still worth a try if you're in the area. It's a cute, locally owned business that serves good coffee and has kind people working.

Cute coffee, owned with pride. Cream cheese and everything seasoned croissant good, not too heavy. The picolo was good, it was a pretty dark roast though, personally prefer more fruity notes

Visited upon the recommendation of a family member and found it a gem of a coffeeshop. On top of the excellent sourcing/brewing of the coffee and the quite flavorful pastry, what really got me was the high level of service. For example, on top of the normal pleasantries I was given a time expectation for my pour-over and a small cup of drip to ease the wait. Will definitely be back whenever I’m in the city.
