10/10 best coffee I have had! You don't even need syrup that's how good it is.

No syrup needed... that's how you know the beans are doing their job! Great seeing you as always. Thank you and see you soon!

Got the lemonade, firstly it was $7 which is outrageous by itself, but maybe it's good. They freshly squeezed one lemon into a FULL cup of ice, then topped it with water. The first sip was great, everything else was just water. My recommendation is either cut the price in half or just don't sell it. Hate to be the few one stars especially talking about the lemonade at a coffee place but if you're willing to sell it, you're willing to have it be recommended or not

Thanks for the review, Tom. Every lemonade is made fresh to order with a whole squeezed lemon, house simple syrup, filtered water, and ice... never concentrate or premade mix. That said, the flavor thinning out as the ice melts isn't the experience we want for anyone. We're taking a look at our ice-to-lemon ratio so every sip holds up. We appreciate your feedback.

Stumbled upon this place when searching for nearby coffee shops. It has a great interior aesthetic and a chill vibe. The owner was very welcoming and kindly explained their coffee offerings. I got an iced latte made with their Brazilian beans, and it was fantastic. Would absolutely stop by again when I'm in the area.
Owner response · Sep 7, 2026
So glad you found us! The Brazilian beans are a great choice... smooth every time. Come back soon, we'll be here!

A genuine coffee spot by a genuine roaster. George knows his coffee because he roasts his own. If looking for true coffee and not just some sugary coffee drink--def stop by.
Owner response · Sep 7, 2026
You nailed it. Thank you and see you soon!

I was looking for a nearby coffee shop on my way to work and stumbled upon Vigilant Coffee Roasters, and WOW! They did not disappoint. I had an iced latte that was extremely smooth, you even get to choose the coffee beans for your espresso! Don't sleep on their pastries either, the blueberry muffin was amazing. The staff is really friendly, I will definitely be returning to this coffee shop!

Don't sleep on the pastries... wise words! So glad you found us on your way to work. Come back anytime, there's still more to explore. See you on your next commute!
