Coffee District

What a great spot. I have never been to the coffee district before in my life. We met tonight for Marisol and her uye that she hosted it was a great success. We all got up and sang karaōke we all had a bunch of drinks I even had iced coffee it was so much fun to be with everyone and sing karaōke. The place was packed not only with Unilocalers but with regular clients that were really enjoying all of us and themselves all at the same time. Fantastic UYE Marisol. I would definitely come back. I had a great time. If you are hungry The coffee district has a menu with wraps and piannis I also saw some awesome muffins and get this, they even have cereal. The tap beers were delicious I even tried a cider that is fermented tea (dont recall the name but it was tasty). A bitter taste at first almost like biting the rind of a grapefruit. but was very smooth a bit tart and tangy. I did have a wonderful red malbec that I enjoyed tremendously. Closing the night out I chose Iced coffee and it really was brewed perfectly (i added cinnamon and chocolate powder they have in salt shakers that are labeled) it really tasted great. Service was on point for only having 2 people running things from what i saw… GREAT job. sorry someone broke a few glasses… wasnt me! I sat quietly on a barstool the majority of the evening… enjoying everyone singing.

This place is hit or miss, they have all the right ingredients for excellent coffees and espresso drinks and I usually get an awesome latte, but some staff just don’t know how to use the espresso machine. I stopped in on presidents day and the person working was no where to be found and there was a line forming. So she finally strolled back in from the back, rolling her eyes realizing how many customers she now had to serve. I watched her be rude to every customer in front of me like we were inconveniencing her. I watched her make a «latte» she didn’t put the portafilter on tight enough and hot water just spouted out the sides with only a small amount of espresso coming threw. This girl had no idea how to make foam, so the person got only steamed milk with probably half the espresso shot. It was so bad that I actually left before it was my turn because if that is the quality and service they provide I will take my business else where.

Great coffee place off the main strip. It’s a small cozy place with wifi, tables and couches. They have a great coffee selection with some unique brews. They get the taste right every time and have a nice selection of small bites. They also serve craft beer but it’s with the trip for the coffee

Awesome staff, however I am confused as to the positive reviews in regard to quality of the coffee and food. The food is actually down right horrible.

After dipping out of the cold front storming down the east coast, I decided to stop in and hide away from the weather for a warm bite to eat yummy thanks girls!

This place is usually pretty quiet and chill. Rotate beers a lot, always a good selection.

This is a really wonderful funky coffee house/​craft beer joint. Sometimes they have a band, which unfortunately are a little too loud– but still cool. I like the ranch quesadilla. They also make a white hot chocolate, which is super cool and hard to find!

Having lived up in PBC since end of 2012, Coffee District has been a great place to enjoy both coffee and craft beer while hanging out with friends, getting some work done, or just stopping by. Nestled a few blocks from the epicenter of Downtown Delray, Coffee District provides a refuge for those wanting to avoid the hustle and bustle of the main strip.
Most of all, it’s a great place to sample some delicious craft beers from local, national, and international breweries if you’re an afficionado.

The friendly and service oriented staff makes this a place an establishment I like to frequent in the morning. For night time they serve great beers on tap. I can always find great conversations here. Love this local spot

Independent coffee shop. Just off the main strip of busy Atlantic Ave. Clientele is mostly locals and coffee shop searchers. Not good for people watching. Sells beer & wine. Small bar section with T.V. Food menu is worth trying. Parking is limited. No outdoor area.

Located just off Atlantic Avenue and pineapple Grove sits the Mecca of the coffee world I work downtown and every day I go for my morning coffee or tea

I’ve been coming here since it opened. The place is generally nice but the service is awful. It starts with the owners who have a don’t care attitude. The «baristas» try to be hipsters but are pretty racist and ageist. Doofus!!!
The only reason to go there versus at her places is the parking. The night time events are cool but again don’t go if you’re mentally or physically over 22

My wife and I stopped in for a couple Frapuccino’s. This place was recommended by someone in the area, who said it was better than Starbucks. I ordered a mocha Frapuccino and my wife got one — I can’t recall the exact name — that had a nutty buttery-​ness to it. Hers was definitely better than mine. Their mocha tasted more like a weak chocolate milk. There was probably too much milk in the mix. It was rather disappointing.
If I make it backup that way, I’ll try something different, and see if I can perhaps give another star in my next review. But today’s experience, our first visit ever, only warrants three stars at best.

I don’t sing — but I sure like to drink while I watch/​record my friends «singing».
I came here for Karaōke night so it might not be the same experience the day to day customers have but I’m pretty sure all these things remain the same: Great beer, great coffee and the best impulse buy: mini Toblerone bars!
I was here with a fairly large group of friends. With most places it’s all about the group you are with — it didn’t seem as though there were that many folks not with our group — but then again this place isn’t too big, so even if we hadn’t been there I’m sure the folks that looked like «regulars» would still be a ton of fun. The music selections were varied — from Hip Hop to Pop — to classic rock. Good times.
I stuck to beer all night and they had a really good variety of craft beers on tap — and a great bottle selection as well. The wife was having coffee and she loved it. I eventually got her to sip on a cider — I’m not much of a cider guy but this one was really great.
Parking is simple — there’s a lot right behind the shop — but that one will likely be packed. If you continue through the lot you will see another lot in the back. It’s free to park back there and very well lit.
Last but certainly not least — what awesome staff! They were taking orders, picking up glasses, when things spilled (and they did often lol) they were right on it! Always with a smile — and super friendly.
I look forward to coming back on regular hours and checking out what kind of coffee house vibe they have — been meaning to get out to more places to crack open my laptop and work.
OH and how could I forget — they have mini Toblerone (chocolate bars) right next to the register — and they are possibly THE BEST impulse buy ever. I don’t mind forking over the 60 cents (or whatever they cost) for a nice sweet bite.

As often as I go to Delray Beach, and as often as I usually try many intimate places some distance off Atlantic Avenue, which there are many, I must sincerely thank Marisol for planning this great night at a NEW place I never tried but seemed to be the typical intimate, casual and chill place to hang out in Delray. Not typical with any similarities to other places, but typical in the «style of Delray» that is offered in so many places. And Marisol picked a fun way to make a great first impression of Coffee District; Friday night Karaōke!!!
Coffee district is really something different in that it offers everything to everybody different times of the day. It is a great superb coffee house that I would frequent if I lived in Delray, with so many coffee, espresso and tea variations. At the same counter, they serve sandwiches, paninis, soups and desserts.
The crazy thing that makes this different, is that it has a fairly large bar within this coffee shop that serves a small variety of wines, and exceptional craft beers which have never tasted so good. They have a whole display of their unusual craft beers which would entice any beer drinker to chose something different and enjoy it with one of their great sandwiches or even their gourmet desserts. The atmosphere is casual and inviting as you enter, and the staff is really lose and there to just let you have a good time.
We got to Coffee District a little early and ordered a California Panini to share and a couple glasses of wine. It did not take long for us to figure out that the mood was picking up as more of our great Unilocal friends were arriving, thus THE BOTTLE was ordered. Great price for a nice bottle of Rosenblum Cabernet. Marisol had tables reserved for us if we needed to sit and talk, eat and drink, but quickly as the night went on, it was clear that we all had too good of a time to just sit and drink; time to get our chance to do what we all do best: SING!!! The Karaōke had begun. There was a lot of talent between us, and as the night went on, there was even MORE talent. The Karaōke was well organized and everyone got their chance to show what they are made of. What was so great, was that their was a special surprise appearance: THE SPICE GIRLS. I thought they broke up, but there they were, all sharing the microphones blasting out a song they never wrote, a Whitney Houston song. Go figure. I really loved watching them have so much fun. The Karaōke area was perfect for all he Spice Girls and for several duets and single vocalists. As the night went on, the songs kept coming, and all of different genres and from different times. What I thought was so great was the diversity of ages between all of the Unilocal BPB people and therefore the different types of music people chose. And we all cheered each other on, even if we were off key, like who cared??? It was only US.
I must say that if there was any night that showed how special the Unilocal BPB people are, it was this one. This was not a «sit down» dinner, a food event, but an event that showed the diversity of Unilocal BPB that can all have a good time together in what could be for others an uncomfortable thing to do: sing in front of others. Yes the alcohol helps, but we all clearly wanted to spend a great time together on a fun Friday night, singing, talking and laughing.
Marisol, thank you for giving me another perspective of what we are all about. This was something really different. We will go back on another Friday night, but it would never be the same, unless of course you plan another event like this.

Sometimes (acutally probably a lot of times) the company you have at an establishment and the amount you enjoy yourself weigh heavily on your opinion and hence your Unilocal review. Given that I don’t drink coffee this is probably one of those cases.
Marisol F. was so kind as to set up a UYE event on a Friday evening at Coffee District. Sounds weird I know, who wants to go to a place called Coffee District on a Friday night? But here’s the thing, they have karaōke! I was still skeptical. I read the reviews mentioning an impressive beer offering, but these days I’m not much of a beer drinker… most people say you grow into the taste of beer, I seem to have grown out of it. Not to worry though, Coffee District also serves wine! They have house wines of all the main varieties, for example, they have Pinot Noir, but don’t come in looking for a specific one.
I arrived around 8 to a friendly group of Unilocalers and headed up to the bar… yes they have a bar, in a coffee shop. There is also a register where you can order coffee, they have a few salads and sandwiches, and some pastry items. I got my bottle of wine and settled in for karaōke. I was happy that it wasn’t too crowded. There were obviously a few karaōke regulars who put on a great show, but when we wanted to get up there (and let’s be honest, make a mockery of the art of karaōke), there wasn’t much of a wait.
As the night wore on we got sillier, and somehow with all the dancing around to the karaōke songs, I spilled red wine on my beige shirt. The staff was super helpful getting me some club soda and making me look somewhat presentable again. At that point I decided that perhaps it was a sign that I should get something to eat. I ordered a croissant, and was impressed to find that despite the fact that it was the end of the day, the croissant was fresh and delicious, and quite large.
Coffee District is a little far from me being up in Delray, and since I don’t even drink coffee I doubt I will ever experience it as a morning coffee shop, but I would go back for kareoke in a heartbeat. We had an amazing time, the staff was friendly, and I didn’t spend a fortune… UYE round two?

Well, huge thanks to Marisol F. for putting together a fantastic UYE here for us to experience karaōke on a Friday night. Karaōke started promptly at 8pm and ended when Coffee District kicked us out at 8pm.
So here’s the thing… coffee is not my thing, and although I enjoy a nice tea and deli style food, I wouldn’t be coming out of my way from Fort Lauderdale to Coffee District — but if I lived in Delray I would be all over this place, because the prices are great and the atmosphere is nice.
Here’s the other thing… it’s also a bar! Ok, so you still have that deli feel to the atmosphere, but they do have craft beers and wines. And wines are cheap! I’m talking like $ 20 a bottle cheap, so boy did we have fun lol.
And here’s the last thing… I’ve done karaōke before. The last time we were in the mix with some professionals, and although we had an amazing time, I still felt as though those professionals weren’t loving my Spice Girls act. This time however the other singers were great, but I didn’t feel as though the vibe was as pretentious and they were actually loving watching me make a fool of myself.
So yes… this is a perfect spot to drink some wine with friends and have a few laughs while singing your heart out! The karaōke system was different from what I’ve seen in the past, but still very easy to set up an account and pick your song. I wonder if my account some how has a score associated with how well I did? LOL hmmm maybe I’m pulling some rank on a karaōke list somewhere ;)
I did get hungry part of the way through my fabulous singing (I believe they stop serving food around 10pm) and ordered a caprese salad. The caprese portion (mozz and tomatoes) came over iceberg lettuce and with a balsamic drizzle that was heaven. For less than $ 7 this was perfect!
The staff was great and did a good job handling our massive group!
Can’t wait to come back and sing again!

Can I review a Coffee shop without actually tasting the coffee? Yes. Yes, I can.
There is totally more to CD than the coffee. Mostly beer and karaōke, which are two of my favorite things ever. The CD beer selection is off the chain. Ok, maybe *I* was off the chain… Green Bench on tap– I’m talking to you. The beer selection at CD was pretty impressive both times, I’ve been to this little spot. Totally unassuming from the street and really just looks like a casual little coffee café. However, the two bars serving up yummy brews and a nice bottle selection say otherwise. I have to give props to whoever is making the beer selections– keep up the great work!
On Friday nights they have karaōke and recently our own Marisol was host to an amazing karaōke UYE. The Karaōke DJ (KJ) is pretty chill and gives everyone a fair chance to get their songs in, but it does get pretty packed here on a Friday. Not packed like one of the crazy bars on Atlantic, but packed as in the tables get full and folks are definitely there to sing karaōke. I had never seen the use of a computer to input you songs, but it’s pretty cool, because there no yelling back and forth to the KJ while he’s trying to keep the songs rolling on. Of course, there’s your standard set of CD karaōke regulars and they were quite entertaining. Plus we had our own crew of singing Unilocalers to add to the mix and of course that made it a super fun night.
CD is a great place to grab a couple of beers and chill out if you don’t feel like heading to a bar. Or maybe your awesome Designated Driver just wants some delicious coffee while you sip your brews. Or maybe you just want to see what they have on tap, I promise it will be something pretty great.

A few years ago I found Panther Coffee in Wynwood (Miami) during Second Saturday Art Walk and immediately after that I kept trying to find a good coffee shop in Boca Raton/​Delray Beach area. Not that I don’t like Starbucks but I wanted better.
My guy was always on the search for good beer places and he told me about this place called Coffee District. He said he didn’t know what it was because the name Coffee District makes you think coffee shop but every «best beer places» lists have Coffee District on it.
So I decided to give it a try one day when I was in the area (a few blocks from Atlantic Avenue). The menu was simple but still had a great selection to choose from and I ended up getting a Vanilla Chai Latte with almond milk. Sooo Yummy!
And those lists that kept saying how impressive their beer selection is where so right. The bottle list has tons of common craft beers but is also loaded with some really good beers and some hard to get beers too. And the list of beers on tap is really impressive too. And if that wasn’t enough beer already, they have plenty of bottles on their shelves that you can get to go as well.
A couple weeks later (on a Friday night) I was out with Glenn and we finished dinner around the corner from here and I suggested coming here because I KNOW he is going to love the beer selections.
When we arrived, the place was really busy and I learned that every Friday night they host Karaōke night. Last time I was here it was really quiet but this time was the opposite. It was great to just relax and watch people take turns singing songs. Plus it was really impressive to hear so many people can sing so good.
After that Friday night, it became our Friday night regular stop. Sometimes it’s packed and sometimes it sort of quiet but either way we always have a great time there; even though I NEVER EVER SING.
Well, I sort of never sing. I did once come here for my girlfriends birthday bash and once we drank enough my nerves settled down enough that I got on stage and sang. Unfortunately the first song I sang was when I walked up and took a microphone with a girl that was singing and I ended up being the background singer and dancer; but I thought I was with my friends and it was a stranger. It was really fun though. And I did sing one other time with Natasha and Lena; great time (and those girls can sing so good too).
It’s also nice that Coffee District has no problem if you come with your laptop and hang around for a long time doing whatever it is need to do. Glenn even likes to bring his to Karaōke night to catch up on his Unilocal reviews.
And beyond the coffee and beer they also have food. They have snack items like a hummus platter and they have all sort of simple morning bites like muffins and granola cups. And if you want something a bit more filling they make really good panini sandwiches.
What are you waiting for, come to Coffee District for some great coffee, unique beers and enjoy this cozy, laid back place.

Based on the name alone, you expect just another coffee shop… but this is far from being another coffee shop.
My discovery of Coffee District came about when I did a search online for the best places to get some unique and hard to find beers. Almost every top 10 list for the South Florida, Palm Beach County or Tri-​County areas included Coffee District. At first I thought my eyes were deceiving me or that an error must’ve been made; but no, it’s Spot-​On… WELCOME TO BEER (and coffee) HEAVEN…
CIGAR CITY TAP TAKEOVER (May 18 2013):
My first visit welcomed me to the Cigar City Tap Takeover with a few friends. Very excited to check out the «Oatmeal Raison Cookie» that Cigar City was unveiling. Turns out our friend ahead of us got the last glass but things worked out well since I took a sip of it and frankly I didn’t love it. Ended up ordering «Graham Cracker»… HUGE WIN. The place was busy but we managed to score a table and we enjoyed a good time with friends and a plate of hummus.
COFFEE BREAK (June 22, 2013):
After dinner one night in the area, we bumped into a friend and our paths led us back here to enjoy some quiet time to chat and enjoy some coffee. So far I had only heard oohs and ahhs over the beer selection and not much regarding the coffee; but the coffee was quite impressive. Tried the Vanilla Chai Latte and I loved it (strange considering I don’t like vanilla and don’t care much for chai, but for whatever reason I did like this combination).
KARAOKE NIGHT (July 12, 2013):
After what turned out to be a very stressful week, Friday arrived and decided to head over to Coffee District to peruse their beer selection and experiment with this or that. My previous visit was welcomed to a quite, unassuming coffee shop; but not on this night. Turns out Friday nights are Karaōke night and it gets loud, entertaining and a good time to be had. We managed to grab a table and I had brought my Mac to goof around on but we had plenty of live show entertainment to amuse us (though we don’t do any singing for the better of man-​kind).
As a mater of fact, «Elvis» returned from the dead and stole the show. Yes, ELVIS was in the house. The Karaōke host called out the name for the next «wanna-​be» singer and this guy enters the front door with full-​on 1970s Elvis attire. Complete with the hip shakes and facial features «Elvis» was a HUGE SMASH. When the song ended, the Elvis impersonator walked out the door and left, and just like that «ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING»
TASH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION (August 23, 2013):
Came a bit before the birthday girl made her entrance and jumped into a bottle of Fantôme Boo! (always nice to get the jump on the guest of honor). Once the birthday girl and other friends arrived the Karaōke dragged all of our group (except me) to the stage. Highlight of the night was Natasha, Lena and Marisol doing their rendition of «Like A Virgin»… a song they chose to be «MORE WHOLESOME» since there were a few young kids in the house… WAY TO GO LADIES, WAY TO GO ! ! ! On this night we drank a lot (maybe even too much), but it was the night full of good times.
GENERAL VISITS:
Beside those special visits, I have been back a few times to try a variety of the beers and that selection is no lie; quite the beer list. Each time I visit I find more and more hard-​to-​find bottles (mid-​August I found a variety Mikkeller, Jolly Pumpkin and the Bruery). And the prices seem fair (not cheap, but fair).
I’ve also managed to try a couple more coffee concoctions and turns out their coffee is just as impressive as the beer. Last visit I fell in love with Iced Raspberry Mocha. And even managed to grab a meal here a couple times. Lite bites and salads are good and the Panini’s are excellent but it’s the coffee and beer that make Coffee District distinct.
Definitely one of my favorite «GO TO» spots…
