It's refreshing to see an establishment that executes a niche theme nicely. Nowadays, there seems to be a homogeneity amongst the ambiance of coffee shops. They seemingly mimic each other in design elements -- minimalistic, industrial, interspersed with hip plants with holes in the leaves.
Coffee N Rock doesn't try to be that. As its name implies, rock 'n roll is at the center of this caffeine machine. A small drum set precariously sits above the registers, the walls are plastered with band posters and stickers, punctuated with a rack of electric guitars. Bright windows illuminate the atmosphere.
My favorite thing to order is their "Come Together" special which includes a beverage, breakfast item, and a hash brown for about $10-$12. I usually order a cold brew, which is on the stronger side. A flavor shot will cost an extra dollar. I generally add more sweetener than given. The "War Pig" is a bacon, egg, cheese sandwich, which is filling. Please keep this deal going!
This coffee shop also tries to make each drink personalized with their handwritten puns and lyrics. There's a points system (which I honestly don't know details on) but every so often, I'll accumulate money that can be put towards my order.
They also have a convenient drive-thru. Sometimes, they'll have authors and book signings. Coffee N Rock is neighborhood-centered and a nice alternative to put in your list of go-to coffee shops.
