First off, to me coffee is merely a liquid way to get caffeine into my system after having been awake for 2 hours. I don't need to open my eyes and pour it down my gullet. After having taken my wife to work this morning, I pulled in to Harbinger after not getting my usual cup of gas station coffee. At the coffee shops I am pretty sedate on my drink order. A simple mocha, an extra shot, and oat or almond milk. My impression upon walking in was "...what am I doing here?" It was pretentious, open, quiet with cafe indie music playing. One person was behind the counter. He took the person ahead of me's order, then mine. Then he proceeded to take two more folks orders. If you are in a hurry then go to McDonald's or 7-11, perhaps even Starbucks. Not here. BUT DO NOT LET THAT DETER YOU! The barista, Alex, was meticulous in his preparation of his numerous orders for being the solo staff on hand. He made a latte, another coffee, then my drink. All to go. His presentation was awesome considering his coffee design for my mocha was going to get a lid on it. I am not one to go to such fine coffee establishments. This place changed my mind. While the fact that each coffee is prepared "for you" I think for a mocha like I ordered, I should not be relegated to the house coffee. If they offer coffees from around the globe, then let me craft my coffee with the same care that Alex made it for me. But, I was surprised, the house coffee was incredibly smooth, not a hint of bitterness. I can only imagine the other coffees they serve and how they taste. I've never had "craft" coffee, but if this is what it is like then I will be back at Harbinger for more. If you have read my previous reviews then you know there is always a "but". The "but" here is that for the size of coffee I receive, the price was a bit too high for a simple guy like me. With tip, I came in at just over $9 for a 12 oz coffee with the extra shot and the oat milk. My usual coffee is a 20 to 24 oz with the same ingredients at $8.30+/-. This was so much better and I will regret the "but" I am sure. This was a treat for me and I know that my return to gas station coffee, even though the machine grinds each batch a customer buys, will bring regret that I do not have coffee this good on a daily basis. If one starts at coffee this good they will surely hate something as good as a cup of fresh Folgers.
Though I don't live near (1500 miles away in fact), I really enjoy this place. Have stopped in for coffees a few times over the last 4 years when travelling in the area, and never disappointed. Great coffee, good pastries, friendly workers. Next time I'm near, I'll be in again. Highly recommend.
Amazing coffee and vegan/gf donuts here. I had the cinnamon sugar donut and a cafe late with caramel iced coffee. Incredible! Loved the service and the ambiance. Don't miss this !
Really great coffee, everyone is always kind, and the gluten free donuts are amazing.
Nova made one of the best lattes I've ever had!
