Just ok. Not particularly a welcoming place
A friend recommended Herkimer to me the other day. You can see the roaster in the back room, which is pretty unique. The latte was soooo yummy, I’ll be back for more. Btw, If you’re a lebowski fan, they have they best T shirts…
Role Model. I had a meeting today here and we took over a couple of tables so we could sip while we discussed the details of some architectural drawings. The architect was a bit late and it gave me time to reflect, as I sipped my latte (which was outstanding), on the surroundings. What I realized is that this is the kind of local coffee house that Starbucks is attempting to emulate with their new, unbranded outlets. The woodwork is striking, in an understated way, and the finishes all work together to create an comfortably eclectic ambiance. While this neighborhood fixture is not unique in this regard, Herkimer is the real deal, and well worth the visit.
Cash only joints = great. When I moved from my old place my three requirements were short distances to a store, a bar, and a coffee place. Herkimer Coffee filled the last requirement, and much to my pleasant surprise, they are cash only. I equate cash only anything to usually be the no frills better attitude that I like to see in small businesses. And much to my even more surprise, is that the coffee there is quite a bit better. They are one of my favorite coffee places, taste wise. The interior appears a bit sterile, the smiling staff whip up a great drink for the walk home along Greenwood.
Sterile. Herkimer has a very sterile, yuppy feel, which is great for some, but if you are looking for a warm, kid-friendly place, I would steer clear. The coffee is ok.
Bitter. I wanted to like this place but the straight shots were too bitter for my taste.
