What customers say

Very cute inside and plenty of parking right on the Indianola Square. The beans are roasted in house and there is a very nice selection of coffees and loose leaf teas both to drink and take home. Gift cards and sampler packs are available. There is also a private room suitable for small groups.

Unbelievable coffee. Owner is very special man. When not working hard in his coffee shop, he volunteers as a shelter counselor. He spreads love all around. I have seen him lovingly roasting beans to perfection. We talked about this place and owner throughout our trip and couldn't wait to return. We will be.

Crimson Anchor serves the best coffee in town. The owner, Dave, goes out of his way to provide excellent service. They offer roasted in house beans, drip coffee, cold brew, pour-overs (Chemex, V60), as well some more exotic preparations of coffee. I happily support this awesome local business.

My favorite coffee shop... PERIOD. They know coffee, they roast coffee and they brew coffee brilliantly. Drip pot, espresso, Chemex vacuum siphon... if you want it they probably have it. AMAZING! 👏🏻
