Why go to a coffee shop?
You can make coffee at home, for less money than it costs to visit a neighborhood shop, and, as a bonus, you'll have more control over the quality of your finished cup, and you'll do it in familiar surroundings.
But sometimes, you've just got to change your scenery, y'know? and Bay Park Coffee offers an industrial-meets-cluttered-family-room vibe that, come to think of it, might not be that much different from your house, but the shop smells more like coffee (and tea, and food) than your place does, and that, in itself, might make a visit to the place appealing.
Plus which, you can't really make coffee as high-quality as the baristas at Bay Park Coffee, so don't even try.
They start with excellent beans from the Zumbar roastery, and then, using high-end equipment and scientific precision, brew, drip, extract and express (real thing) coffees to suit every taste, including yours. Tell me that you're going to stand in your kitchen in your underwear at 6 am and exhibit that level of commitment, and I'll call you a liar to your face.
I've been an occasional customer at Bay Park Coffee since early 2015, when it was on the itinerary for that year's annual Caffeine Crawl. The shop has gotten more popular, which means waiting for service, product and a table, so I'm less likely to visit now than I was previously, but when I do, it's always worth the trouble.
And there it it... the answer to the question, "Why go to a coffee shop?"
"Bay Park Coffee... Always Worth The Trouble".
