Crema's Take

“Tucked in the heart of Titusville's revitalization, this Black-owned coffeehouse collaborates with local Seeds roasters on their private label espresso, which shines in standout drinks like the Rockwood Latte alongside fresh pastries and house-made grits. The space itself is a character-filled destination with thoughtful design details—including uniquely textured coffee cups that add a tactile dimension to your visit—and a warm, community-focused vibe that makes it equally perfect for a solo morning or catching up with friends.”

Had the Rockwood Latte and Cinnamon roll. Both were outstanding. The coffee cup was different texture than any I ever touched. Nice effect! Cool vibe in the location.

I really enjoyed the vibes this place put out. Given how many good choices folks in bhm have these days for coffee, this place had a really great atmosphere, clean on inside and out. Bathroom was spotless. The latte I ordered was good, served in a nice heavy mug; The oatmeal, in a nice bowl. The music and asthetic were pleasant, complimenting the original shotgun house and neighborhood history. I struck up a friendly conversation with a total stranger. Give this place a try.

Cozy, urban destination in the heart of a community undergoing revitalization. Black-owned with coffee products available via retail sales.

The Modern House is a wonderful place for coffee, tea, a pastry or some fresh made grits in the heart of Titusville. I'm so happy my neighborhood has this welcoming, friendly place. Highly recommend!

Unique community coffeehouse feel serving great coffee that is private labeled in collaboration with local Seeds roasters. (The food is fantastic as well.) Enjoy the history represented in the decor and take some beans home with you!
