Thomas Hammer Coffee Roasters - Nothtown Mall

I happened to be taking a trip at Northtown Mall and decided to give one of the two shops a shot.  This is another local chain. The barista was friendly and told me that they compared similarly to Starebucks. Not sure if that is a good thing. I asked the barista what they recommended, they made me an iced mocha. Probably not the most exciting choice. However, the coffee was quite good. Nice blend of coffee and a good strong taste to it.  This shop was a little on the smaller size. But I would say this, if you were looking for a good cup of joe to drink while shopping, then this would make a good stop.

Atticus Coffee & Gifts

My visit to Atticus Coffee & gifts did not come without some high expectations. I had heard consistently high recommendations from people all around Spokane. Atticus is owned by the same owner's of Boo Radley's. It has a very similar fun decor and atmosphere to it. The gift shop is quite large and the coffee shop is located near the rear of the business. The barista made several suggestions of popular drinks and knew their product well. I ended up with an iced caramel mocha.  The coffee was quite good. Nice blend of sweetness, flavor, and coffee taste to make it one of the best coffees I have had since moving to Washington. The prices were comparable to what you would find at other shops. The high expectations were met and I would highly recommend it. The only real downside I could give, is that being downtown parking was a nightmare. But after driving around trying to find a meter and finally get to the shop, I can honestly say the place does not disappoint it and the coffee is worth it.

ReBoot Coffee Bar

This was the first, of a common thing in Washington, that I visited. Combining a random business with coffee. To be honest, I was not expecting the coffee to be good as I half expected it to be an added service to draw customers in as an added bonus. I was pleasantly surprised to find that wasn't the case. The coffee portion of the business actually takes up a large portion of the space inside. The barista was quite friendly and seemed knowledgeable about the coffee product. I ordered an iced white coffee at the baristas suggestion that I'd get the most caffeine for my buck. The coffee was pretty good. It went down smoothly and had a good strong coffee flavor. The atmosphere was pretty unique and welcoming. I enjoyed the visit, the coffee was good, but not sure if I'd go out of my way to come back.
