My first trip to Coffee Jerks was 4 days ago and I ordered a cappucino, double shot, and one shot vanilla- probably not the most common order. The drink was delicious in every way...rich, deeply roasted coffee, creamy, with just a hint of vanilla sweetness. In short- perfect. We were planning on getting our orders to go, but the environment was so inviting, we decided to sit down and ended up staying for 45 minutes...a very nice coffee break. I decided to return two days later and jokingly asked for “ my usual”. The barista knew exactly who I was and what I had ordered two days previously on my first trip. I was pleasantly stunned! They make everything from a great cup of Joe to all the fancy specialty drinks. The atmosphere is inviting: warm, quiet, (inhabited by quite a few folks younger than myself -63- intently staring at their computers) charmingly eclectic with a few hand-me down, comfy, soft chairs, a central high-top bar, and metal tables and chairs. Vintage Schwinns hang from the rafters; the place appears to be overseen by a poster of John Wayne. Come on! You gotta love that!
Personally, I would like to see more comfy old chairs in which to curl up! It is faintly reminiscent of an old library, the type where I felt compelled to stay, and curl up with a good book to escape.
I highly recommend you give Coffee Jerks a try. They even have a drive-through window, but you’ll miss the indoor experience.
With such great, richly brewed coffee, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a fun, comfy, and eclectic environment, you can’t go wrong with making Coffee Jerks your favorite place to get your daily jolt, study, surf the web, or just hangout for conversation. So, Pilgrim, what’re ya waitin for?
