Are you a fan of darker roasts? Most of the people I know that enjoy Starbucks tend to prefer a darker roast, but to me, it just tastes like burnt coffee. I prefer a light-medium roast. That said, I have not tried those other places and will have to seek them out in the near future.

Kingdom is legit third-wave lighter roasts. Pretty amazing coffee there. Polar opposite of Charbucks.

It’s a third wave coffee place in the vein of Ethic, Architect, etc. The focus is on the coffee itself, not the creative drinks. Go for the espresso drink that fits your espresso:milk ratio preference (I’m a cappuccino guy) or if you like brewed coffee, a pour-over.

That said, they usually have a couple of seasonal drinks on their menu worth checking out. Every now and then, I’ll get their lavender-honey iced latte thing.

The breakfast burritos are amazing. I actually prefer the vegetarian one.
