Hip, Cozy, and Caffeinated -- Scorpio Nails It
Scorpio Coffee has become my daily go-to spot over the past year, and it's earned that spot with consistency and quality. They source their beans from Dak Coffee Roasters, and you can tell -- the coffee here is excellent. Drinks are made right every time, and even when new staff are being trained, the quality rebounds quickly. It's clear that the team is well-managed and takes pride in what they serve. They answer all questions in detail and know what is on the menu- if they do not know they ask and figure things out to get you the right answer in a timely manner.
The interior is clean, thoughtfully designed, and spacious, with warm lighting, white walls, and faux-wood accents that give it a modern yet timeless vibe. There's a small patio outside, and parking is easier here compared to other Midtown spots -- a definite plus.
Food-wise, the mushroom toast is a standout. I've ordered it a few times, and it's consistently seasoned, flavorful, and made with their own house-baked bread -- a detail that really elevates it. I also regularly order the ochazuke with extra salmon as a light snack before the gym. It's simple, comforting, and always hits the spot -- it reminds me of the kind of comforting soup-and-rice meals your mom would make for you after school. Thoughtful food done right.
I also tried the müesli, which to me tasted like overnight oats -- not quite my thing, but I've seen quite a few people order it, so it seems to be a popular choice. My usual coffee order is a classic latte, but I've recently started ordering an iced matcha latte, lightly sweetened with honey and an extra scoop of matcha -- it takes it to the next level. When I'm feeling like a treat, I pair it with one of their amazing coffee muffins. Service is always friendly but efficient, and the environment stays relaxed without trying too hard.
They've recently opened a soft evening menu a little over a few months now with small bites on weekends until 9 pm, and I went to support. It was an amazing vibe -- super intimate and the best way to catch up with someone. It's the kind of setting that makes you feel right at home, without being rushed.
Scorpio Coffee gets all the fundamentals right: excellent coffee, great food, consistent service, and a welcoming space. It's a well-run, locally owned shop that's easy to rely on.
