I don’t think I can properly express how much I love Thump—it’s simply the SPOT! The coffee is awesome; from the drip to espresso drinks, it’s always a hit. I’m a really big fan of their specialty single-origin beans, but I also adore their North Fork and Storm King! The food is always delicious, with a lot of the baked goods made in-house! I’m also hooked on their breakfast burritos... Can’t get enough!! The service is next level! The team at Thump genuinely cares so much about making quality coffee. The focus and care that go into every drink are admirable and shine through. On top of the care for the coffee, they also clearly care deeply about making everyone feel welcome and have cultivated a safe space for all. The community of regulars at the shop are so kind and welcoming. I've never seen such a strong and consistent group of regulars at a coffee shop, if you come by and strike up a conversation you will undoubtedly be welcomed in with open arms. Honorable mention: The music is always so fun and a reflection of the different baristas working at the time. I’ve found so many great artists just from hanging out at Thump. Whether you’re passing through, visiting a friend for a coffee chat, a local getting some work done, or just want a REALLY good cup of coffee - Thump is the 3rd space we all need! If I could give 10/5 stars, I would, because five just isn’t enough!

Freaking love Thump! Always reliable for a good coffee, and the baristas are always kind and cutie. Not many options for hot food, but the coffee is the reason to go here, and they have several good pastry options!

I went into Thump coffee on a Friday afternoon to work for about 2 hours. I tried their lavender latte and absolutely loved it! The staff was great, I ended asking for extra pumps of lavender for a stronger taste and they were happy to accommodate that. High speed wifi, lots of places to sit and work at communal seating areas. On Downing and E 13th Ave. Highly recommend this coffee shop!
