Westlake’s Herkimer Coffee is a modern coffee shop with a great cup of coffee.

Vibe: The coffee shop is in newer apartment building in south Westlake. It looks like a typical Amazoned building. There is a loft with ample seating and high seated bar overlooking the main floor. There is even a cozy nook under the stairway. The coffee shop is a bit loud when busy.

Music: They were playing blues. Lee Fields & the Expressions’ “A Promise Is a Promise” was playing when I walked in.

Coffee: The coffee was really good. I had an americano made with their espresso roast.

Roasters Notes:

Acid: medium-high
Body: full
Texture: champagne mousse
Flavor Profile: A complex and layered blend of coffees ideal for drinking straight or pairing with milk. Black cherry, meyer lemon, and strawberry are supported by sweet graham cracker and tamarind. The finish features hints of cocoa nib, tobacco, and baking spice. Sourced from direct relationship farms in Central America, South America, and Africa. This balanced and complete coffee is blended with respect to the history and tradition of old world espresso while embracing modern practices of ethical, transparent, and relationship focused sourcing.
