Smokestack Roasters is such a cozy hidden gem. I stopped in while my car was being worked on next door (it’s in a more industrial-looking area), but once you’re inside it’s warm and inviting. There are plush high-back chairs, booths along the windows, and a big bookshelf that feels like a little free library.
My latte was delicious and came in an oversized mug, and it was a really comfortable spot to get some work done while waiting. The muffins are huge, and they warmed up a buttery croissant for me too. Bonus: there’s even a small play area for kids, which would make it a great mom meetup spot.
Definitely worth a visit even if you’re not in the area for car repairs.

Great coffee both in the cup and in the bag for the machine at home. They have a gluten-free section in their food case, and the frittatas are delicious! It would be awesome if the gluten-free case was on the end so that the delicious looking bread was not directly above it. This would cut down on potential crumbs dropping into the case. The coffee is really good as a double espresso so I imagine that all of the yummy drinks they offer are as good. My advice? Stop in and try all the things I cannot! 🙂

Really cool building! Coffee tasted great, and the coffee cake was delicious. Very impressed with how many GF options there were. They offer to warm & butter your baked good when ordering, I recommend doing this especially if you’re ordering something GF.

Not much to look at from outside, but inside there’s plenty of seating, including comfy armchairs and a play area for kids.
The coffee is great, and you can even see the big burlap coffee bean bags, both empty and full, from all over the world. The baked goods looked excellent, especially the chocolate stout cake, but I just had a bagel and cream cheese – which were very good.
The baristas were very friendly and the service was quick. They also sell coffee in bags, and have beer and interesting tonic (soda).
I’ll definitely be back to enjoy this great breakfast hangout spot!

The food is delicious but I’m sure it’s better when it’s hot. After a long time I went up to the counter and found our soup and latte with a film over the surface, and it ended up being pretty cold. I asked the lady there if it was our number, and she literally whispered yes. Please announce the orders so they can be heard. It’s pretty quiet in here today, didn’t think we’d have to hover at the counter to get our food.

One of the best coffee shops I’ve been to! Service was great and the coffee was delicious! The bakery selection is extensive. I had a warmed and buttered chive and cheddar biscuit…fantastic!
There’s lots of seating…plenty of room for conversation and productivity.

This was our first time visiting Smokestack, and it was great! We got the iced lattes, the herb garlic cheese bread with chive cream cheese, and an Oreo brownie. You can taste the freshness at the first sip of coffee! I’m very impressed. Very cool vibes inside too. Plus, the staff are upbeat and happy to help you (that’s hard to come by nowadays)! Can’t wait to come back!

This place is legit! We get our coffee here to grind and make at home but also it’s a sweet cafe spot as well. They have bagels, pastries and quiches and a few specialty snack items and cooler drinks. There’s tons of space to spread out, a cool little kids toy area and a free library (take a book/leave a book) for both adults and kids. And all that is just extra to the quality coffee they make and beans they sell. Plus everyone is super nice. Definitely check this place out! (And if you need a reason to make the trip, cheapest gas around is right down the street at Patriot Gas).

This is quite the hidden gem. To be honest it doesn’t look impressive from the outside but as soon as you enter the door it is like walking in into a different establishment. The interior decor is very interesting and comfortable. The coffee they roast here is very tasty and strong. The staff were very friendly and professional when I talked with them about stupid questions. Parking is convenient with a close lot right outside. I am looking forward to going back again soon?

Best coffee place for a pandemic! Extra large interior with ample seating of couches, comfy chairs, tables, and booths spread out throughout the building. Good ventilation. Some outdoor seating as well. The coffee was great and the desserts were amazing! Wide selection of bagels and pastries. Staff were very friendly. There is a book and kids corner there as well.
