Coal Creek Coffee

This place looks like a huge hot spot for the local college as it was busy on a Friday afternoon. The latte that I had was ok for the price. I waiting about 15 minutes for it once I had ordered it as the staff has a few orders ahead of mine. The staff were friendly and told me ahead of time that it would be about ten minutes for my coffee.

The drip coffee was actually great, 4.5 stars for that and a recommended stop for drip coffee.

I drink cortados almost every day and it's been my drink of choice for years: I am a home barista as well....The cortado was so terrible that my wife and I both decided it was the single worst cortado we've ever had. Old grinds filled the bottom of the cup: my best theory is that they have not cleaned this espresso machine in way too long. Such a bitter nasty taste to this. Took one sip and tossed it.

Avoid espresso drinks hard. The drip coffee is worth getting.

Great coffee! The Peruvian coffee which I ended getting a bag of, had a great smokey taste. Establishment is clean and good service. Worth the stop if needing a coffee fix in Laramie.

Atmosphere is warm and cozy. Coffee was fine, food was average and overpriced. Lost our order and was told "it just takes a while" even though all we ordered was BLT and a salad. Ended up waiting 35 min for mediocre food. Expect slow service

My benchmark has to be doppio,
a doubke shot of espresso. I was
there late, not busy, but got one
perfect glass (?) of espresso.

The taproom next door rocks, too.

Came here on a day off with my family. Atmosphere is 5/5 with great vibes and a helpful staff. The coffee is the best quality that I have experienced in WY but you will pay a premium for it. In my opinion it is worth it. If I were to come back I would only come for the coffee. The food was expensive and boring. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good coffee shop is Laramie but just be sure to pack your own food!

Great place to get some coffee and a pastry or a light breakfast. Reasonable prices and a working wifi - there's everything here to relax and maybe even get some work done.
The Banana Bread is done just right - not too sweet and not too "bready" - something in between a bread and a cake that is made right. I recommend getting it toasted and add butter (see photo).

Hadn't been to Coal Creek downtown in a while because the food had gone downhill. Thought I'd give it another chance so stopped in for lunch. Ordered a cup of soup/salad combo listed as $12 on the menu. They rang it up as $14 and when I asked they said the price had gone up. Ok. Whatever. Took forever to get my food even though there were two people working and maybe four people in the entire place. When I got my corn chowder it was weirdly grainy like the cream had split and the "chefs" salad was mostly decomposing lettuce, a little bit of chopped up sliced deli ham and turkey sprinkled on top, some cherry tomatoes and cucumber, a hard boiled egg and some tzatziki as a dressing. Tzatziki as a chefs salad dressing? Ok. Whatever. So in terms of food I guess not much has changed. Stay tuned for my next update when I try again in another year or two. But really I think I might just give up for good.

The drinks are fantastic. We had a seasonal lavender latte- absolutely delicious, a spicy iced chai- pretty good but not my thing, and a bag of their troublemaker coffee beans. Although we haven't had the coffee yet, it smells so good I wanna eat the beans. The two staff at the counter were kind but a bit intimidating initially- I blame it on it being like 9 am. They have beautiful wooden tables, and a great atmosphere. I only wish I could've stayed for longer.

Called in an order for their breakfast sandwich on house made everything bagel, 16oz dark roast coffee and 16 oz iced green tea. Location. Is near the college campus. They have several seating areas (if you need to study, or meet a group). I even purchased a bag of their French kids dark East coffee. They will grind it to your liking in house. The breakfast sandwich was pretty basic and lacking flavor. Eggs in sandwich tasted like their was corn in it. Not a fan. The coffee and green tea were good.
