If there’s one thing I love about Corry, it’s the cute small businesses that are set up downtown. Barista’s Roast is among my favorite because I love my chai lattes and hot chocolate. When you first walk into Barista’s you are greeted by the amazing aroma of coffee beans. There’s soft music playing in the background and a smiling face behind the counter. Everything about Barista’s is welcoming and warm.

Barista’s Roast was official on February 14, 2019! However, their doors opened on March 1, 2019. Barista’s motto when asked “Can you do…” is “The answer is always yes!”

My favorite thing to get at Barista’s is the chai latte because of it’s sweet (but not too sweet) taste. A chai latte is a combination of chai spices, such as cinnamon, black pepper, ginger, cloves, and others. This helps to create the great taste of the chai latte. I love chai lattes anyway they come! The hot chocolate there is also delicious, with the perfect proportions throughout it. It is sweet, creamy, and full of flavor! A candy cane and marshmallows are also offered for if you have a sweet tooth. One thing that I haven’t had, but am looking forward to trying is the ice cappuccino. Of course, Barista’s is known for their coffee. My parents, grandparents, and others whom I know (who are avid coffee drinkers) love going into Barista’s to get their coffee. There are so many different types of coffees to choose from, as well as a daily special. There’s dark roast, medium, and others.

Walking into the coffee shop is wonderful. I love seeing the other customers sipping on their coffee and enjoying the company of the people they’re with. The whole shop is just beautiful and homey-feeling. The service there is also wonderful; small talk always takes place, as well as some laughs.

Barista’s hours are: Monday through Friday 6:00 AM-4:00 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM-1:00 Pm, and they are closed on Sunday.

Overall, I would give Barista’s Roast a 5 out of 5 stars. The shop is cozy, inviting, and it is full of great fragrances. To top it off, the owners are very friendly. So what are you waiting for? Head over to Barista’s Roast, you won’t be disappointed!
