4/5 Josh S. 1 year ago on Google
It
had
been
several
years
since
I
visited
this
place
when
I
was
living
in
Midtown
and
was
happy
to
see
that
not
only
is
it
still
open
but
has
been
renovated
as
well.
I
always
enjoyed
it
in
the
past,
but
it
did
have
a
bit
of
a
divey,
"distressed"
feel
to
it
previously,
which
could
be
charming
but
sometimes
felt
a
bit
dingy.
With
the
new
construction,
it
now
has
a
cleaner,
lighter
feel
to
it,
while
still
maintaining
the
tropical,
somewhat
Bohemian
vibe
it
had
before.
Unlike
many
coffee
shops
that
offer
limited
selections
of
beer
and
wine,
Double
Trouble
(DT)
is
both
a
coffee
shop
and
a
full
service
bar,
offering
all
kinds
of
liquor
and
cocktails.
They
have
all
your
standard
coffee
options,
with
beans
sourced
from
local
roaster
Greenway
Coffee,
There
is
also
an
extensive
cocktail
list,
both
of
old
classics
as
well
as
ones
unique
to
DT,
complemented
by
a
selection
of
beer
and
wine.
Additionally,
at
the
intersection
of
the
coffee
shop
and
bar
is
a
menu
of
espresso
martinis
and
other
coffee-infused
cocktails
that
give
you
the
best
of
both
worlds.
I
started
off
with
drip
coffee
while
reading
and
later
moved
on
to
an
Irish
coffee
martini
(Irish
whiskey,
Irish
cream,
fresh
double
espresso,
and
nutmeg)
once
I
was
joined
by
a
friend.
Neither
drink
disappointed.
The
coffee
was
bold
with
an
excellent
flavor,
and
the
Irish
coffee
martini
was
smooth
and
creamy.
The
two
critiques
I
have
of
DT
are
the
parking
and
speed
of
service.
The
place
is
located
right
next
to
the
light
rail,
and
as
such,
there
is
only
street
parking
available
on
side
streets,
which
can
often
be
hard
to
find
in
Midtown.
As
far
as
service,
there
were
two
bartenders
working
when
I
visited,
but
neither
seemed
to
have
much
of
a
sense
of
urgency
or
at
least
skill
in
quickly
preparing
cocktails.
I
waited
about
7
minutes
after
ordering
for
the
bartender
to
finish
the
cocktail
before
me
and
then
complete
mine,
and
I
watched
others
experience
similar
delays.
Such
criticisms,
however,
are
not
enough
to
prevent
me
from
returning
or
to
cause
me
to
not
recommend
the
place
to
others,
especially
considering
its
uniqueness
as
a
bar/coffee
shop
concept.
