Holsem Coffee

Cool place to hang out and work, good coffee, delicious bagels 🥯 cream cheese and chives yum!

Excellent spot to get some work done. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere is a big plus.

Great place to work and the coffee is delicious - not too sweet.

People working here are super cool and very helpful. Kudos to them!
I tried the choc cookie, cinnabon roll and iced coffee. I liked everything.

Best of Quality, Service, Atmosphere and Great people!
This place is not just a cup of Coffee! It is far more than that!!
I enjoy being there every time. Keep the good work Salpi!

Highly recommend the L’orange cappuccino. I wouldn’t have imagined the orange and coffee flavors would pair well together but you’d be surprised! Great spot to get your laptop/book and work at/read. I also had a slice of the lemon poppy cake and love it! Great spot to check out if you’re looking for something in North park.

Surprising gem in the North Park area. Standard coffee menu but a list of their own concoction of cold brew, including Nutella and lemon cheesecake flavour. Nice selection of brunch items and pastry/snack items. laptop charging and good indoor and outdoor seating.
Well worth a visit for something indulgent or a good space to work on your laptop for a little while.

Good place to work with plenty of seating and wifi but the music inside is quite loud for meetings. We got a strawberry specialty latte which was a little too sweet and an acai bowl.

This place is painfully bland in decor and ambiance. Every single table has people set up working in their laptops so it’s hard to sit and enjoy your drink because people are on work calls. Ordered a cappuccino which seems to be challenging for the baristas here because I always end up with a latte and have to ask for a remake with more foam. The drink came out so hot I had to wait five minutes and then when I took a sip I still burned my tongue. I ended up just leaving the entire thing and going to Moe coffee down the street. Pastries are good.

Coffee was amazing. Staff is super friendly. Great music. work/laptop friendly spot!

$6.50 for a tiny 8oz cappuccino, goes to much higher heights if you get alternative milk. It's just not worth it anymore. You're paying $10 or more with taxes and tip for what is a slightly better than average coffee. And the quality of their cappuccino has dropped too. It's casually a latte in a smaller cup.

[Update 2016-12-17] bumping up to 5 stars.. They have added more tables and rearranged the seating to make this the perfect coffee shop for all needs! If someone asks me what's the best cafe in town, Im gonna say it's holsem coffee!!

[Update] I'm knocking one star off simply to keep a higher "overall standard". The drinks and service here are top notch and I would rate them 5star + for those. The only reason to knock off a point is that the seating and tables could be better for students. All tables are wobbly and kinda small if you have to keep a book and a laptop on. There are other places that meet this requirement but their coffee is just not as good. I'm going to revise my 5 star ratings of other places too.

What a find! I'm surprised I haven't seen it before! Great place to study/work either alone or in a group. Coffee is great. Seating arrangements are very unique and people can choose from a variety of options.
I love this spot right in a heart of North Park.

Cozy place with 80Mbps wifi and street parking. There are power outlets at every table so you don't have to worry about where you sit. The servers are friendly and the drink menu is decent. I ordered the Cinnamon Swirl Mocha and it was pretty good, and the drink came in this pretty fancy cup which was pretty cool.

Nestled in a cozy setting, the cafe offers reliable 80Mbps wifi and convenient street parking. Every table is equipped with power outlets, ensuring you have flexibility in choosing your seating. The servers are welcoming, and the drink menu offers a decent selection. Opting for the Cinnamon Swirl Mocha, I found it quite enjoyable, and the beverage was served in an aesthetically pleasing and fancy cup, adding to the overall experience.

I don’t give many things 5 starts, but Holmes is an exemplar place.
- Great high quality coffee
- Great variety in their high quality coffee (tea lattes, cold brew, Flavored cold brews, specialty lattes, etc.).
- They have great food!
- wifi and good seating.

What else is there to say! Great place.
