Crema's Take
“Dash roasts with a lighter hand than most places, which makes their espresso-focused drinks taste clean and nuanced rather than bitter—exactly what specialty coffee nerds are after. The space itself has real character with local artists on the walls and industrial bones, plus excellent wifi and parking make it genuinely laptop-friendly if you want to settle in for a few hours. Fair warning: their food is decent but inconsistent, and if you hit them during a rush you might wait longer than expected, so go for the coffee first and treat the pastries as a bonus.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Wifi. Parking available.

I tried two of their coffees, not my favorite. I want to say it felt like a dark roast that was slightly burnt. I did not finish my coffee, my husband did and we went someplace else for other coffee. His soup was delicious.

Fantastic little caffeine hot spot with artistic industrial flair, nice two hour parking, plenty of space and well spaced outlets, I noticed music at a good level. Staff was great and patient as I looked over the menu then found the specials. Hummingbird it was! They didn't give…
Nice indie coffee shop with friendly service and better than average food options. I had an Americano & The El Ranchero. The chorizo was only middle of the road spicy. I didn’t get a scone, but they looked great.

Needed to find a spot for coffee and to work for a couple of hours and Dash was perfect. Cappuccino was excellent and the staff was super friendly. Plenty of space where I was able to work and didn’t feel rushed to give up my spot. Was so tasty I went back for a cortado later…
