Decent spot to grab a coffee and treat. Radiator is hooked on to a hotel so seating felt less cozy than a standalone coffee shop. Plenty of exposed seating where the coffee counter blends into the hotel restaurant and lobby which allows for a ton of seating somewhere. Large community seating, small hip chairs in the lobby, you will find a place. Gets quite bustle-y because people are coming and going. If you want a relaxed and quiet coffee experience, probably find a different shop or find a corner. The downfall for me was after drinking a large coffee, I meandered to the restroom, well, you have to have your room key. So it may be possible to use the bathroom but you will need to hunt down how to access it. Works for grabbing a coffee though.
Matcha latte is pretty good and the breakfast sandwich is very filling, much better than Starbucks. It's quite convenient and fast - cute place to work too
Located inside The Clancy hotel Radiator serves Equator coffee and a few breakfast items. The coffee is tasty and fairly priced. I get so bored of Star Bucks so Radiator was a great convenience to have in our hotel.
Family was visiting from out of town, and we stayed at The Clancy. The Clancy had perks where they comped us $25 to our room. We decided to stop by and get coffee here. I'm a iced vanilla latte type of gal at my cousin happened to be a hot ice vanilla latte type of person and we both enjoyed our drinks! There's also a cute sitting area to enjoy your jigsaw.
What a great little coffee shop in downtown right inside the Clancy! Great place to try out if you're into exploring different coffee shops. Location: it's in the hotel, so really good place to get breakfast if you're staying around or at this hotel. Parking might be a problem but there is some street parking around. Menu items: Mocha - great taste, good size and really strong even if mochas tend to be on the sweeter side! Iced matcha - great flavor, a little more bitter just an FYI for all you sweet matcha people ;) Cheese quiche muffin - a good size! I split it with my boyfriend and we honestly thought if one of us ate the whole thing we'd be good all the way until late lunch time Almond croissant - AMAZING, flavors were great Prices were not bad, I was able to catch the lovely barista Paola RIGHT as she was closing up, she was sweet enough to make me my drinks. Bless her soul and her wonderful service!
Matcha Latte cold, sooo good :) I visited Radiator Coffee Salon as one a Yelp Elite event and I was not disappointed. Nestled inside The Clancy hotel, Radiator Coffee Salon sits right inside the entrance. The aesthetic is very upbeat but neat, clean, and considered. The line was very short and they are very welcoming to dogs if you decide to bring a pet! I got the iced Matcha Latte and a yogurt parfait. Personally, the Matcha Latte was a perfect blend for me. Not too sweet, not too match-y, and the right size. The caffeine did kick a punch (as someone who rarely drinks caffeine, my body reacts a lot to it!) but that is probably a plus for most people, lol. I will definitely visit again if in the area and I recommend Radiator Coffee :)
Stopped by for a Yelp event, and wouldn't even have known it was there if not for the event. Parking around the area is pretty difficult, so hubs circled while I ran in. There was a line, but the staff were really bustling to ensure the line moved quickly. Prices seem reasonable. Ordered the coconut/almond milk vanilla latte, chorizo breakfast sandwich, and banana mini loaf. Good size lattes that arrived piping hot, and appreciated the coconut/almond milk choice. It was a good cup of coffee. The chorizo breakfast sandwich was heated and served hot as well - so good! Had the banana mini loaf from Craftsman and Wolves before - moist and subtle banana coconut flavors. The set up of the coffee shop appears clean and quite comfortable. Could be a great set up to do some work given all the outlets, but no chairs at the moment. If I worked in the area, this would be a good place to do some work while enjoying a cup of coffee and small meal/snack.
Updating my review solely for the matcha latte. Sooo delicious! The matcha was hand-whisked rather than using a pre-made concentrate. It tasted slightly sweet and had the signature strong green tea flavor without being bitter. This is my new go-to drink order from Radiator :) Another update is that during the height of Omicron, the pillows and many tables and chairs have been removed, which I absolutely think is necessary. There is still an ample seating area but not as embellished, so this is more a grab & go place for the time being.
