Idle Hour Coffee Roasters

2nd time visiting this coffee shop. Similar experience both times. Cute shop but the coffee is so bitter! I love trying local coffee shops but I won’t be back to this one unfortunately. I ordered a small iced americano with (homemade) gingerbread syrup and creamer. I also wanted to order a large hot coffee but they were out of drip coffee…once I tasted my americano I asked for more gingerbread syrup and even with that it remained bitter you could barely taste the syrup. I added more simple syrup and cinnamon and it did nothing to hide the bitterness. I’m not one for super sweet coffee but I was trying to hide the bitterness. Perhaps their matcha or chai is better

Food was alright, didn’t taste that great. And one of the sandwiches had hair in it which they remade. Coffee wasn’t memorable. Honestly wouldn’t go again or recommend. Service was great though and it’s a cute place. Just sucks that the food doesn’t taste as good as it looks.

Very cute and well curated spot. The coffee was great and the chocolate loaf was perfect. It has parking in the back and plenty of seating. A very cozy stop just outside the downtown madness. I'm looking forward to trying the cupcakes I saw sometime!

Cute Instagram worthy desserts, though very sweet and textures were something my child couldn't get over. A combination a jell, cake, frosting, chocolate shell, and cream. Service was fine, no issues. Parking was a little obnoxious. For the price of items I expected a little more of the interior. I do plan to try them again for the coffee.

The cheesecakes were beautiful, fun, and delicious! Unfortunately the service was just ok and the place wasn’t the cleanest (trash was overflowing, dirty dishes were stacked up on the counter). Sanitation rating is 90% as of Nov 2025. Would go again just for the desserts but without those would not return. Expensive- $26 for two desserts and a hot tea.

Service was just ok. My barista was not very knowledgeable about making a matcha latte and the one I received was very weak. I ordered avocado toast, tasty, but I think my server forgot about because it came out 15 minutes after I went to the counter to ask about my order. I ordered the mushroom shaped cake and my friend ordered a toblerone cheesecake. Wet both found it desserts to be more style than substance. They were overly sweet, lacking in flavor, and more rubbery than a hard boiled egg. This was very much a letdown after seeing lots of pictures of these desserts on social media.

Excellent iced Americano, but the real joy was in the homemade treats! I had the raspberry/ strawberry cheesecake shaped like a MUSHROOM!! The top part was raspberry cheesecake. The stem is white chocolate with strawberry cheesecake inside. The base is a brownie and the entire thing is a work of art!!!

I stopped by Idle Coffee for a quick iced latte and was a bit surprised when my caramel oat milk latte rang up at $8.30—whew! That said, it was a great latte. I ended up adding an extra shot, and I really appreciated the quality of their espresso. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. I’m not in this part of town often, but I’ll definitely be back to treat myself again.
