Great espresso, great drip, great staff! Beautiful location in the middle of Union Station. Be sure to pick up that Bag of Cheer!
Location is ideal. Not nearly enough people working there to assist the gigantic line of customers. I had a hot chocolate. It was noticeably too bold with very little sweet flavor to counterbalance the rich chocolate taste. Not too different than typical chain cafe.
Don't be fooled by the multiple brew methods that this place is up to the standard of national third wave coffee chains (Blue Bottle, Stumptown, etc). They're further still from pioneering cafes. They serve sea foam cappucinos here at Parisi. I can't comment on their other drinks. At least they're pretty quick. A better nearby option, that still isn't ideal, is the Roasterie.
Iced Coffee was good which the favor was a suggestion from barista! Good place to bring the family
The smell of coffee really draws you in. The selection is pretty good for such a small space. They have a few options other than coffee. Cold brew has a good kick.
Fantastic espresso shots and the best cold brew I've ever had -- by far.
Had the best cafe mocha I have had in years here. The BEST in years. Definitely 5 stars on that. A great little place to get a quick coffee.
The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was the staff. The service was alright, but they all looked like they would rather be working anywhere else.
I love love love the coffee beans here. Smoothest coffee ever and it's my favorite; that's the only reason I keep going back because the customer service is hit or miss. Some days the staff is great and friendly and other days it's like they could care less what you say when you order and when they reply- like having a conversation with a cat's paw. How about even asking our names to call out our coffee is ready??? [Note* They could also use a really good cleaning of the entire little space.]
Baristas were very friendly and greeted me quickly. I ordered a large latte and it was barely warm. I hope next time I visit they will warm the milk a little longer so I can enjoy their coffee nice and hot like it should be!
I love this place. Good coffee and a very friendly staff. The pastries are always really good and if you have time to sit you can watch all the people catching a train. One of the best spots in the city to people watch.
But the coffee is great, especially the seasonal flavors. This is the only place I actually enjoy pumpkin spice because it's subtle and delicious, not sugary and chemical.
