Craftsman's has decaf so we dropped by after lunch on a Sunday. I got a double shot flat white (Brazilian beans) and my wife ordered decaf cortado. Sadly both were quite disappointing. The flat white was bitter and clearly over extracted. Not a hint of sweetness or any nuances of the bean. The decaf was even worse. It had some promising aromas but just tasted flat and bitter. We won't be coming back

Super spot for a relaxed meal or a coffee break. Excellent food - fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Aven and Janelle were both superb.

GOOD COFFEE!! I ordered a strong flat white and was not disappointed. The coffee was a little bitter on the nose, but taste was smooth and satisfying. Earl Grey Tea was lovely and the croissant was also fresh and tasty.
Service was very quick and polite and the store was clean and plenty of seating.
