392Caffe

"Incredible cortado! Delivered with sparkling water. World class. Reminiscent of how Onyx Coffee Labs presents their coffee. I also ordered their Power Puck. Excellent energy bomb! Happy that I found them and will return when I’m driving through IA!"

"Carefully prepared espresso drinks. They know coffee here. The espresso is on trend in that it's a brighter/lighter roast which most people currently prefer. They also have a slightly earthier espresso available on request. Still a medium roast but with less brightness. Nice latte art."

"I'm not sure when 392Caffe started in the area. I only noticed it during a recent visit to the area for lunch at Pancheros. Truthfully, I didn't even recognize it was a cafe until I looked it up online. I needed something to cap off my meal and subsequent dessert at Cold Stone, however, so I decided to stop in for a quick tea. The space is definitely bright. The majority of the walls and ceiling are white with small decoration, while the back wall near the restrooms, part of the coffee bar, and the menu are all black. The overhead also has a combination of exposed HVAC ductwork and accent lighting that contributes to this harsher design contrast. The flooring is also mostly unadorned, just a simple concrete slab. None of this detracted from my experience or is being leveled as a criticism, though. The space is clean, both in design and hygiene, and I quite like the industrial appearance. I knew I wanted a tea and the barista helped walk me through their selection. I'm a mostly green tea drinker, so, I decided on a Himalayan Mountains green tea. A few minutes later, he brought me my drink, which came in a combination of a small carafe and mug. On the whole, I have no complaints about the tea. It's definitely different than I'd normally get - a bit more grassy and tannic than I'd prefer, but good nonetheless. The one drawback to the whole experience during my visit was the overall noise level in the space. The entire time I was there, generic modern pop music was playing at a level above my general comfort. Personally when I'm going out for a hot beverage at a cafe, it's either alone to read/study or with one or two people to sit and quietly visit. This detracted from either of these possibilities. Maybe I just don't get it - some people probably like the louder experience and party-like aesthetic with their latte. The tea was good and I'd probably stop back in if I were in the area for a meal again. It's an interesting space and everyone I talked to behind the counter was really nice. Thanks 392!"

"392 is hands down the best caffe in the QC. Their staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about coffee. They’re happy to answer questions, make recommendations, and guide you along your caffeinated experience whether you’re coming over from Starbucks or deeply into craft coffee. They have a wide variety of beverages on tap and offer breakfast, lunch, smoothies, and other treats as well. But most importantly, their coffee is delicious! Whether it’s a pour over, cold brew, nitro, espresso, or milk based drink, it just tastes phenomenal!"
