Crema's Take
“U3 Coffee roasts its own beans on-site, which means the espresso hits with that rare combination of smoothness and brightness that only happens when a cafe controls the whole process. The vibe is distinctly urban—concrete, black accents, wood details, and a mural-lined interior—with a rooftop that'll be perfect once the weather cooperates. Even if you're not an espresso purist, their baristas are genuinely worth chatting with and the matcha here legitimately rivals specialty matcha cafes.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, outdoor seating. Pastries and light food on the menu.

A little sunshine on the side! U3 Coffee had it all: A variety of fresh-baked goods and drinks. Try the Asian sausage biscuit and creamy matcha. The matcha was the best that I've ever tasted. The shop also offers interesting merchandise for sale, including an incredible cold…
A fairly new location in the Forest Park area. It has an Urban vibe to the place…black, concrete, wood, mural, and a rooftop area that will be nice in good weather. They have a roaster on premise and from what we tasted, the coffee was pretty good. We tried the Irish cream latte…
