Cervantes Coffee Roasters

Picked up a nitro cold brew for the road after a stop at Costco. I also picked up a bag of Guatemalan coffee beans. I look forward to future visits to try some breakfast & lunch sandwiches, as they look great! Cool atmosphere and great friendly service.

I was meeting a Client in Springfield on a Saturday morning, but it wasn’t on the beaten path, so I Googled coffee shops and found Cervantes Coffee. I’m thinking the coffee shop wouldn’t be very busy because it was in an industrial park. Boy was I wrong.

This place is a hidden gem and either you know about it or you don’t. There was a steady flow of Customers coming in to place to go orders.

There’s not a lot of seating, however the seating that’s available is very laid back. The back drop in the seating area has bags of coffee, coffee grinders, a coffee tasting table and pictures of coffee from around the world.

This place has coffee from different countries around the world like Bolivia, Brazil Costs Rica Etheopia to name just a few of the countries. They also have coffee supplies like coffee grinders and espresso machines.

I had a cup of tea and a blueberry muffin. The muffin was really fresh and full of flavor. I’ll have to come back to try the coffee!!

Coffee as it should be. Sourced from all over the world -- and light, medium or dark roast, they've got something for everyone. Friendly, knowledgable baristas have it down to a science. Watch them prepare an espresso or do a pourover. Amazing. Good luck finding another coffee shop like this in the area. Three (!) thumbs up.

8.10.2023 Cool spot. Popped in just before 3pm, which is when they close I think. Bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. Plenty of parking at that hour and just one customer was in this sitting area. More space and seats than many of the Starbucks I've been in. Quick service at the front, the coffee came out quick. Standard menu, cool roasting and sitting area and good coffee. Worth the stop.

Not bad!
Parking is a nightmare, especially on weekends. Very Very limited parking.
Interior is unique-clean-and comfortable. Again-limited-limited seating.
Coffee selection is good-I tried two different coffees-a medium and a medium dark. Neither were strong and their taste was subtle.
I’d definitely go again.

Cervantes has delicious coffee! I have gotten their seasonal drinks a couple of times and they’ve been really good each time. I got the Mexican Mocha this time, and it’s amazing!!! They also sell coffee beans. The parking lot is a little small, as is the inside of the coffee shop. Definitely will be going back!

First and foremost. The coffee is fantastic. Secondly, the food is delicious. Honestly, my only complaint is I wish they had more of the sofa-like chairs. We instantly took the two they had. The music was very low-fi, and the whole situation made my blood pressure lower by twenty points. We will come back, and it's an enormous pleasure to support local businesses.

I'm a huge fan of cold brew, I order it everywhere I go. I see exactly why Cervantes is so proud of their cold brew, it really is amazing. I usually try to stock up on some of their famous blend whenever I come here. Their coffee selection is great as well and they have a seasonally rotating menu of options on top of the regular offerings.

The biggest issue with this place is the parking. There have been plenty of times where the parking lot is full, and being located in a business park, finding parking can be really difficult.

Really great vibe, product, and service. A roastery that invites you to enjoy their coffee and hang out. Lots of coffee origins and methods of extraction (espresso, pour over, aeropress, and French Press). And they're very willing to talk coffee to the inquisitive customer. Really enjoyable experience.

Well worth the detour! Such good coffee and really aware of international problems surrounding the industry. Wish I lived in the area so I could take advantage of the classes they offer. Also really dig the fact that they still ask customers to wear masks. Vaccination does not equal complete immunity folks!

Very nice seating area, comfortable chairs, right in front of where they roast the beans! They also have an upstairs seating area with a cozy feel. I had a cortado and a chocolate croissant, coffee had good stong taste. They sell their roasted coffee in bags too.

I pass by this place all the time and finally decided to stop in. Very cool little coffee bar / roaster in the middle of an industrial area! They have a little library with kid books too! There's a slow drink bar for pour overs and French press orders, and their drip coffee is solid! Much better than the Starbucks down the road!

Cozy coffeeshop located in an industrial neighborhood. Parking is a limited. Staff were very helpful and extremely polite. Great selection of coffee and lattes to choose from. I had the almond Joy latte and a cheese danish. They also sell coffee accessories. There's plenty enough seating and they even have a bookshelf to choose from as you sit and enjoy your coffee. Something that caught my eye while I was there is that they offer classes varying from art to coffee brewing. Definitely will be back 👍

I've now been ruined by the best coffee in the area. Seriously the best coffee within 10 miles. How have I missed these guys all this time.

I had a latte and purchased a bag of their award winning single blend coffee for my home espresso machine. The crema, aroma, and taste of the coffee is amazing and unique. This is not your Costco 20lb bag of coffee. This is small batch made with love and you can taste it.

You get the point right, its damn good. Try the coffee and take some home. You wont' regret it. SUPPORT LOCAL

Amazing Coffee place! It’s like a tropical hut style vibe. With coffee from all over the world. Definitely check it out!

Though COVID has impacted this coffee shop's ability to seat customers, they still provide a wide selection of imported, excellent coffees to-go. I continue to highly recommend stopping in to grab a cup of joe ASAP.

Finally I’ve got my clean & tasteful yummy coffee bean☕!
My lovely sister Azza the (ONLY) trustworthy leader for discovering every great spots around the Whole World🥰! She did it again found my addiction destiny for me to be there always from now on

This is a coffee wholesaler that has a small shop to show off what they do all day. They only buy from small, sustainable farms and roast their beans on site. The first time I visited, staff told me that they supply several restaurants in and around DC. They help support women farmers in Central America among other things. Everything is ethically sourced, fresh, and flavorful. Very few places earn 4.9 stars on Google. This place is one! (The hours are limited. So you have to plan around that.)

UPDATE: I am starting to get great shots out of the bean now. It seems like the problem was the opposite, the bean was too fresh. Likely that's why it was pulling really inconsistent shots in the beginning as there was too much gas. After over 10 days, things are starting to look great. I have updated the review. But, I would still encourage the company to put roast date on their bag so that people can rest their coffee accordingly.

Long story short, roaster was right about the freshness of their beans, I was wrong.

Old review:

Really really unhappy. I bought a bag of 'freshly roasted' coffee from their shelf, with no roast date on it. I asked the sells person twice how fresh are these beans. They assured me they always roast beans in their shop and its at most 4 days old. I bought the bag home and immediately could tell the bag is not fresh as the shot was too fast even with really fine grind settings. I know what I am talking about because, I have bought hundreds of freshly roasted coffee online from different third wave roasters and I can immediately tell the freshness of the beans from the shots I pull from them. I sent a refund request to their email which nobody bothered to reply.

I took the bag to their shop and a salesperson told me they don't refund and they roast everyday. They brought the owner and the owner was doubling down on their claim that they always roast freshly. I appreciate her patience as she took time and pulled shots from the bean, and gave me two espresso shots to drink. But, even though she saw the shot was pulling fast, she blamed it on the grinder. I came back and thought maybe I was really on the wrong. But, after trying multiple finer grind settings, it's absolutely clear the bag was stale.

I am not saying they don't roast fresh, because they do it for sure. But, that particular bag was old. Maybe they forgot to take that one off the shelf, who knows. A company with good customer service would have refunded the moment they saw the shot was indeed pulling fast even in their machine, but they didn't do that, instead doubled down on their claim.

Giving four stars for the food because the coffee I had in their shop was tasty. But, I will definitely not return to their shop. This is a lesson to myself to never buy a bag of beans with no roast date on it. That was the first red flag and I should have listened to my instincts.
