Nestled on Couch St., Deadstock Coffee serves up unique drinks in a vibrant space filled with sneaker and sports flair, making it a must-visit for coffee lovers.
"Sneaker-themed Deadstock Coffee is located in a small storefront that sells fun merch as well as house roasts with names like Dark Jawn and Slow Jamz. Customers can order photo-worthy lattes adorned with a powder Nike hightop or grab-and-go offerings like the LeBronald Palmer, a blend of coffee, lemonade, and sweet tea." - Zoe Baillargeon, Eater Staff
"Proving the Venn diagram of sneakerheads and coffee obsessives has plenty of overlap, Deadstock serves bright, sweet house roasts with names like Fresh Prince and Slow Jamz, listed with flavor notes of “fruity pebbles” or “cinnamon toast.” The café has no posted menu, but patrons can order any of the coffeeshop standards here (with a sneaker-shaped stencil of cocoa powder if you ask nicely). Warm weather specialties include Zero Chill, a blend of coffee and sweet tea, or the similar LeBronald Palmer, a blend of coffee, lemonade, and sweet tea." - Eater Staff
