• Specialty latte: $7.75 for a 12oz Mexican mocha – 9/10

• Black coffee: $3.50 for a 12oz drip coffee – 8/10

• Vibe: 9/10

• Overall: 8.7/10

For the specialty latte, I ordered a 12oz Mexican mocha, which was rich with chocolate flavor and a fun zing of spice. I LOVED the combination of sweet and spicy and almost wish it could be a little spicier. The drip coffee was great too, very smooth.

The vibe of Stable Hand is modern and colorful. Fun patterns line the walls, and the space is bathed in natural light. 

Stable Hand offers a full menu, from breakfast to lunch to snacks. You can find classics like egg sandwiches and grilled cheeses alongside multiple varieties of porridge. There are plenty of options to satiate your hunger.

The parking situation is ideal: a large lot right next to the building. However, you might not even need it! Stable Hand is located right on the rail trail, making it the perfect place to walk to if you live nearby.

Stable Hand is an ideal place to take your remote work. There are plenty of tables, inside and out, and great WiFi. In fact, when I visited, almost every customer was on their laptop, save for one table that had a “please no laptops” sign, which I appreciated for those who wanted to chat.

Overall, Stable Hand’s tasty drinks complement its bright and inviting interior. I’d go to meet up with friends, have a coffee date, or get some work done!
