Bull Run Coffee


Environment
    It's got a cool feel, but it's a little tight. It's got this "Dad's cool basement" kind of feel to it, with one side of the walls covered in license plates and the other side a homey brick wall. There is quite a bit of seating for the size, outlets aren't an issue, tables are a decent size, chairs could be better, the only other criticism I'd give is that it's not a very relational set up of seating, it's almost made for someone to grab a coffee and get work done, but the seating is pretty good overall. The music selection within Bull Run is great. Drum roll............ ... ... .. .. 6/10
Service
    This is the first place that we were able to find the kind of service we have been looking for all along.  The moment that we were seen by the baristas we were greeted with a friendly smile followed by the barista asking how our day was.  The barista then proceeded to ask what we were up to today with genuine interest.  This is the service we believe you deserve at every high end coffee shop seeking for returning customers.  While we were here we also had the pleasure of seeing the baristas interact with several other guests with a warm and inviting attitude.  Overall we give the service a solid 9/10. 
Drink Quality
     Amazing. Best coffee we've had so far in the cities. So well made. Looks amazing. We've said it before, in order to compete with top dogs in quality, presentation is key. The drink we got was the Boone's Beard. Yes, the name is even cool. The key ingredient that brings this vanilla espresso to the next level is the black Hawaiian sea salt used. Awesome drink. The barista said it would bring us back, and it will.10/10
Overall: 9/10 Come here. Now. What are you waiting for?
