The toffee chip cookies are delectable, buttery circles of happiness. They don't sell them every day, though!
Dorian RhodesMarch 9, 2010
tempting tho' the coffee smelled, I didn't stay due to a lack of comfortable seating; which may have been less of an issue w/interesting people-watching but it's a block away from Valencia's goings-on Read more

Decent enough - a hit or miss with the baristas. Good space but no outlets for work -- but who wants to work in a noisy hipster coffee shop anyways?
BenJune 3, 2015
Espresso! Just do it
Kitt HodApril 13, 2018
The pastries!

All of the other tips say cash only, but I paid with a credit card without a problem.
Greg BrunoJune 16, 2018
Wow this coffee slaps hard. Bitter til the last drop.
Thomas MeyerNovember 22, 2015
Too hipster but good pour over coffee
Sophia LinJanuary 20, 2013
They serve coffee at the back too! Avoid lines!

Pourover bar was cool.
@irabrianmillerJune 30, 2013
Most generic tip ever: get the coffee.
Isabel SimóNovember 2, 2013
Cool place, but without wifi, so... i can't work there. :(
Marc-OliverApril 16, 2010
Very cool music. Try the espresso machiatto with vanilla ice cream.
RyRy HeartbreakerMarch 3, 2010
She looked at me, puzzled as she pushed the coffee toward me, and said "sorry, we don't take credit cards." My heart dropped "Oh! Tragic day!" I cried... She just smiled kindly and said "take it." O

Friday August 21st is Four Barrel's 1st Birthday. Come in and drink a free drink, eat cake and ice cream! (Early closing at 5pm, though.) Yay!
