What People Are Saying About Fixx Coffee Bar

The Editor

In Short – Located on Sheffield down the street from the Vic Theatre, this is a quiet coffee bar where neighborhood folks come to unwind (or get wound) with coffee and tea. Seats next to the storefront windows allow for people-watching on the street scene outside; further back, people sit at tables and read, type on laptops or chat while sipping and nibbling. A chalk board to the right of the bar lists a menu of sandwiches and pastries.

Get your buzz elsewhere

by chanjilldo

This coffee bar is cold, dirty and uncomfortable. They serve mediocre coffee and pastries from Costco. You don't go to a little independent to get megamall muffins. The service is not with a smile. For the price and atmosphere, go elsewhere.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Neighborhood Coffee Shop

by luvjewel2

I hate corporate coffee shops and this is the totally opposite. I love it here!! I'll walk here to do some freelance work and I always get more done than I expected. The staff is chill, they don't really bother you. The internet connect is always fast. I've only tried an ice mocha and an iced chai tea latte, both pretty good. They do open mics on Wednesday, never been. They do random author readings and stuff which is awesome! It's nice to have a local coffee shop support local writers. They have some interesting local art decorating the walls. I really like this place, it's big, there are plenty of outlets. However, the lighting could be a little bit better in certain seating areas. If the music is too loud, just ask them to turn it down. I always bring headphones to drown out all noise. This is a great place to do work, grab something to go, or just hang out with a few friends.

Cool Atmosphere, Bad Coffee

by pointthreex

The atmosphere of The Fixx is really cool. It's big and spacious and wide open and the couches are comfortable. This is all fine and dandy, but the coffee is really bad, and let's be honest, that's why we go to coffee shops. The latte's they make are way too foamy, they're worse than most cappuchinos i've had. I don't know what kind of espresso they use but it has a strange, bitter taste. I also ordered an iced latte and found that it tasted like somebody had just put cream in a hot coffee and then iced it, truly one of the worst iced latte's I've ever had.

They should probably spend less time making the inside cool and start making their coffee taste good.
