ICP: Ellipsis Review

ellipsis review
ellipsis review

I’m still doing a lot of work from home, so a good work cafe is essential for getting out of the house. Ellipsis Coffeehouse strikes a good balance of inviting and productive work space. They have a great alternative rock playlist and really great service.

If you’re new to the blog or Indie Coffee Passport, hop on over to this post to see what it is, how it works, and how you can start your own coffee adventure.

ellipsis review

Out of all the ICP’s so far, this was the most no-frills. I wouldn’t go out of my way, but it’s still a cafe deeply committed to coffee & their community. Settle in with a baked good from Lovely Bake Shop and enjoy the neighborhood feel. If you’re doing ICP, these are the drinks your passport can get you.

  1. Tea Hot or Iced
  2. Coffee Hot or Iced
  3. Pour Over
  4. Latte Hot or Iced
  5. Espresso
  6. Cappuccino Hot

ellipsis review

What I had:
Pour Over (Counter Culture)
Chocolate Scone

They let me pick between 3 different Counter Culture beans. They have a seasonal rotating list, so be sure to ask about the options! The pour over was pretty good, maybe a bit sour. Couldn’t tell if it was my bean choice or the brewing.

I don’t know what their usual baked good section looks like, but the day I was there the selection was slim. Went with a chocolate scone that ended up being more of a dense cake, but still good. Service was A+.

Next time:
I’ve seen most of the ICP’s serving Rishi or Spirit teas. I love the Spirit teas, and would love to bring a friend to try the Rishi tea flight at Ellipsis.

Best for:
Getting work done!

TL;DR:
4/5 stars coffee
3.5/5 baked goods
4.5/5 coziness
