Flatlands Coffee

Absolute perfection. From the beautifully minimalistic interior design, to the knowledgeable and passionate owner, everything you want from a coffee shop is here. Ben (the owner) knows his coffee and is always ready to answer any question you may have before brewing the best cup you have ever had.
I can honestly say that I have never had a cup of anything here (they also serve tea) that I did not absolutely love. There are new types of coffee every 2 weeks or so as well, so there will almost always be something new to try. Also available are craft sodas and delicious pastries.
After only 2 visits Ben greeted me by name when entering. I’ve definitely found my coffee shop.

This place is aweome! Amazing Cappuccino’s and not to forget Ben is a great barista!

Five star rating because every aspect of my visit and this coffee house was perfect.
The space is very minimalistic and beautifully crafted with the small details in mind. The serving counter is low and uncluttered to give a sense of more open interaction with the baristas.
The the baristas I met working (including the owner) were very nice and conversational. The owner has incredible knowledge and love of coffee– and it shows! I had a very well prepared and delicious cortado.
They are a multi-​roaster coffee shop, meaning they are always bringing in new coffees to try, and keeping the best. They had a $ 7 pour over available because the owner loved the quality and flavor so much of this limited quantity coffee that he had to pay full price for the coffee himself.
Go out of your way to give this shop a try. Make it a point in your life to go here. You will learn so much about coffee and have new friends.

Can’t tell you how awesome this place is. Whether you are a jaded coffee expert, a burgeoning aficionado or can’t tell the difference between arabica and robusta, Ben and his team at Flatlands will blow you away with their dedication to a perfect cup of coffee. While searching the globe for the finest and most interesting coffees, Flatlands still finds a way to feature and support high quality local roasters. The environment is sleek and comfortable, perfect for enjoying your beverage. The best part of all of this is how kind, courteous, and passionate the staff is, especially Ben himself.
All told this is the definitive coffee experience in our part of the country. You would have a hard time finding a superior shop even in the likes of San Francisco, Seattle, or Chicago.

Ben Vollmar, without a doubt, knows his stuff. He isn’t your average barista you typically find at your local coffee shop. He has put enormous amount of time and energy into finding the highest quality coffee you can possibly find on the market.
If I had a magic lantern, I would wish a flatlands coffee down here in the Nati.

I love Flatlands Coffee! The quality of their manual drip pourovers, the interior design, and the music is awesome! The owner, Ben Vollmar has superb knowledge of coffee and is inspirational! I love that he is continually educating himself in his craft. Flatlands has everything that I look for in a great coffee shop!
