Play Coffee Orange

This place was cool . Walked in for the first time today .. it used to be an old bank so I loved how It looked obviously very spacious ! Plenty of seating. You can still see where the tellers would sit behind the bulletproof glass lol . The coffee spot itself looks cool . Tried the volcano iced . It’s a little pricey 7 dollars for the drink and it wasn’t bad but it didn’t taste 7 dollars worth . Coffee isn’t strong . A little milky . Didn’t really get the Smokey and salty notes as much . It grew on me after drinking it a bit but still nothing wow 🤯

Tried volcano latte and mocha latte. Both were delicious. Street parking is good across the streets. Place is very spacious. Mostly good for students and work meet up space.

Very good, rich coffee. I have had lattes here and they are great every time. Atmosphere is fun and modern, but in a historic bank. Pretty unique café experience

Re: owner’s reply ——————————————— Looks like the store not only needs to improve on food safety practices but also how to do PR. See photo of milk being left on the counter under room temperature without any insulation. Original comment: ——————————————— Their coffee only comes in 1 default size, it may be too big for espresso based drinks, in way that the espresso’s overly diluted. Besides that, something also tasted off with the americano I ordered that’s hard to describe. I suspect it could be that their milk has gone sour… I like to have some half and half with my coffee but they don’t offer any cream, only whole milk or oat milk. It’s very troublesome to see their gallon of milk’s just sitting on a counter in room temperature, and inside is pretty stuffy with weak AC. Unfortunately has to toss the drink away after one sip due to food safety concerns. Interior is unique, in a building that used to be a bank.

Great coffee selection! Really cute set-up. The music and noise aren't super loud, so it is a nice place to get some work done. A lot of college students go here to study. Free wifi. Random item of note: the non-handicapped stall in the women's restroom is quite small, so if you have a backpack or anything else with you it is an extremely tight fit.

I was hesitant to have another coffee shop in the Plaza, but safe to say they are a great addition and staple of the downtown. The staff are great and for someone like myself that’s not into the background or logistics of coffee roasting. I can tell they put a lot of care and work into the coffee they serve. The staff are great and very knowledgeable in what they’re making for you and the owners are very nice and you can tell they want to be a part of the community.

Competitively the best coffee in America in my opinion. The cafe is in a beautiful old bank - high ceilings, beautiful design, right on the major square. The design brought in by Play is both fun (expressive colors) and minimal. There are plenty of options for seating, but I wouldn’t call it very comfortable. I got the Volcano as a cappuccino and CHEFS KISS it’s delicious!
