Crema's Take
“Specs is a shape-shifter that transforms from a serene daytime coffee sanctuary into a vibrant Friday night craft cocktail and DJ destination, all unified by an impressive commitment to beverage mastery on both sides. The espresso drinks showcase genuine creativity—reviewers consistently praise the bespoke, cocktail-like precision that goes into each cup, while the knowledgeable staff and owner create an environment where coffee enthusiasts feel welcomed to either grab and go or settle in for unhurried conversation. It's a place where you're as likely to discover your new favorite seasonal creation as you are to stumble upon a Friday night that keeps you dancing longer than expected.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Open late.
