“ I find the environment at this Barriques ideal for working with a cup of coffee for intense days, or chitchat with friends over a glass of wine. If you are feeling bookish, there is a public library a block away to rent a book and sit down with your favorite beverage. Great coffee, selection of wine and atmosphere. Food items are decent too. Now a few minor gripes. Baked goods are below average. The place can be a bit dirty and unkept at times. ”
“ I've only had amazing experiences with this Barriques location. Staff is friendly and helpful, plus the coffee is delicious. I only ever get the pork quesadilla but it's always yummy. Highly recommend getting their mixed greens as a side, their balsamic dressing is amazing! ”
“ Good drink and food selection, nice atmosphere ”
“ Great food, great coffee, phenomenal service! Coffee order was made quickly and the cold brew was excellent! The young gentleman who took my order during lunch on March 24 was also very patient with my hungover self and my lack of coffee that morning. Would recommend to anyone in the area. The power burrito was especially delicious. ”
