Tradesman Coffee Shop and Lounge

"Pros: -Good coffee. -Nice decoration, making a great vibe. Cons: -The sandwiches were very greasy, even when touching the bread alone."

"All of the food here was decent. Nothing was absolutely amazing—my favorites were the french toast sticks and the berry rectangle thing. I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich, but I feel like it was simple enough that I could have made something just as good at home. At the very least, there are other breakfast places that can do a higher quality breakfast sandwich. This is NOT to say it was bad because I still enjoyed it. I'm just explaining the what made this a 4-star review instead of a 5-star one. Update from 2 months later: I tried their croque monsieur which was a special for the weekend and it was REALLY good. Ham and cheese croissant with a piece of French toast on top that was infused with maple syrup. I think the ratio of ham to cheese to croissant could have been better but overall I was happy. I also tried their chocolate chip cookies which were pretty good."

"Everything was amazing! The cafe had a great vintage vibe. The decorations are so cute. Each croissant looked like a masterpiece and tasted great. I got a vanilla oat milk latte and it was perfectly strong yet sweet. Would 100% come back"

"Located in the middle of the financial district, Tradesman Lounge offers a relaxed and delicious coffee shop experience. During my visit during a weekday morning rush, snagging a table was a bit challenging as there were a lot of workers and travelers dropping by for some quick coffee or breakfast. I got their Sausage & Egg Sandwich. It was basic and compact but boasted of all the essentials for a delightful bite: a fluffy scramble, a savory sausage patty, and ketchup that seamlessly knit the flavors together. As seen on Instagram, the croissants were beautifully presented, with each croissant filled with flavored and sweetened cream. As is the case for a lot of cream-filled croissants, the croissant itself wasn’t very flaky — a bit dense — but the cream managed to balance out the texture. However, a word of caution for those with a less sweet tooth: the creams lean towards the sweeter end. Among the trio, the Tiramisu Croissant stood out, not drowning in filling, thus hitting the right balance in sweetness. Apple Pie and Red Velvet iterations were also delightful, but I wasn’t sure if it justified its premium price tag. To wash it down, I opted for their Madagascar Vanilla Latte. Creamy and aromatic, it unfortunately erred on the sweeter side, especially when paired with the already sugary croissants. For those looking for sweet pastries, the croissants from Tradesman are worth a try. However, if diving into their specialty croissants, perhaps a regular, unsweetened coffee might be the ideal companion to counterbalance the sweetness."
