I visited Banjo Coffee on a Saturday morning for a bite to eat and a place to study. Nice quaint coffee shop that happened to be the second shop i've been to that has the Nitro infused cold brew coffee, and in fact they have a yelp check in deal going where you get $1 off this very same nitro coffee.
I decided against getting their nitro cold brew, since it was a crummy and rainy day, but instead got a warmer beverage. Staff recommended the Lavendar Latte ($4.85), and I thought it would go great with their Rocket toast ($4.75)
The Rocket toast is a Sourdough bread topped with prosciutto, arugula, goat cheese crumbles and all covered with a Balsamic drizzle. This was a fancy piece, that had several flavors coming at me at once. I probably could've stood for a little more prosciutto, because I didn't taste it (though I did see it), but all in all, not bad!
I was told the Lavendar Latte wasn't very sweet at all, much to my delight, and they were right. It had a very spiced, flavor to it that I wasn't expecting, but enjoyed all the same. And how's the caffeine? Well as I sit typing this at about 1:49 am, more than 12 hours after having my latte, I had my first yawn. That's some good stuff!
Located next to the Beer Growler off of Avondale road, this is a ver small parking lot that holds probably less than 10 cars at a time, but does have a couple of exits, making it not so difficult to get in or out. There were several seats inside with good customer service. Music does play in the background, but it was a loud environment, between the normal chatter, to a couple of guys talking VERY loudly, even with ear plugs, I could hear a lot of noise. So if you're expecting nice quiet study environments, I guess it depends on the customers you happen to be with.
Local, independent, organic, Yelp friendly cold brew coffee shop with snacks, beverages with "keep you up" levels of caffeine, and even an actual banjo (on their wall). What's not to love? If you're up for some caffeine and are in the area, you may want to stop in and see what these guys are doing.
