Context, I rate coffee shops for its space and atmosphere for an individual more than anything, and Crescent Hill Coffee is a partner(?) / overflow of Eggs of Frankfort. So at around 10am on a Sunday, it becomes more of a restaurant than a coffee shop so the vibe definitely changes and it becomes louder and for bigger groups, opposed to a place where you can cozy down by yourself to study or read a book, or chat with a friend. That's why I only gave 4 stars. Definitely just a personal preference, it's a wise business plan especially in this economy, just not my type of coffee shop.
However, it is a great space with good coffee and delicious pastry. It's nice and cozy on slower times with lots of real plants and ample seating area (about 7 tables). I had their Cinnamon Bun latte and it was quite good--not too sweet, and you can taste the warm spices. I also had their ham and cheese...thing and the pastry was wonderfully baked, flaky and delicious! The filling was pretty good but the pastry was the star.

I came for coffee and in that regard had an impressive first visit! There are many flavors I would like to try upon my eventual return; although I do not usually dabble in baked goods, the cheese danish might be in my future, as well. As a nice bonus, the staff was approachable and helpful; generally speaking, the venue itself was pleasant.

I normally dont make reviews, but I just had to with this one. If I could give it no stars, I would. I was in the area for another appointment and just needed a coffee to get me through the morning, so I stopped by this place since it was nearby. From the moment I walked in, people were staring at me nonstop and making me feel completely out of place. Being the only Black person in there, the looks and energy were very noticeable and uncomfortable.
To make matters even worse, while drinking my coffee, something ended up being inside of it. I cant tell what it is but its absolutely disgusting.
Needless to say, I will not be returning — and honestly, it seemed like they’d prefer it that way anyway. Smh.

The atmosphere can best be described as "cozy", which is my favorite kind. I ordered an iced dark chocolate latte, and was pleased to find that it was very well-balanced; in particular, they did not drown out the espresso with syrup like some places do. The espresso itself was smooth and mellow; it did not have an aggressive bite. There is a large selection of drinks and foods, and I look forward to coming back to try everything!

This place is so cute! Friendly service, good range of drink options, right next to Eggs Over Frankfort. Service was fast, the coffee was delicious. Plenty of space inside if you want to stay awhile. So glad to see a new, local, and adorable coffee shop take this location over since the Heine Bros closed.
