Crude Craft Coffee Bar

Love this coffee shop. Drinks are so special and tasty. The vibe is great to relax, hang out or even to work.

Coffee is delicious! works of art, all baked goods are made in house and are decadent!

I’ve been to Crude a number of times, and each time has been totally fine and uneventful. But today, I walked over from my place with my dog and had the worst experience I’ve ever had a coffee shop, probably ever.

As soon as I walked in and got in line, Nate, the guy working the register rolled his eyes. Nate did not make eye contact with me, he did not greet me—nothing.

I obviously then felt self-conscious and asked “oh, do y’all not normally allow dogs here?” knowing full and well that I have seen multiple dogs at this coffee shop during my prior visits.

Nate muttered a single “no” under his breath, to which I responded “oh, well I wasn’t planning to stay...” Instead of acknowledging my response, Nate hustled away from the counter in silence. When I get to the front of the line, Nate asked another worker to work get my order. Now, at this point, I’m livid. I’m not sure what set Nate off—whether it was racism, my dog, or both. (Nate is a white man, and I am an Asian woman.)

Regardless, treating people with this level of disrespect is subhuman and no way to run a business. After getting Nate’s name from the other worker, I promptly said, “I’m not interested in ordering anymore. I found that entire interaction very disrespectful.”

Luckily, I was able to walk two blocks to Summer Moon, where my dog and I were welcomed with open arms. They even gave my dog a pup cup. Total 180 of an experience, and the half winter moon I ordered was delicious.

Good selection. Very busy inside. It's a great place for meeting and chatting but not studying/working. Coffee was stellar.

Consistently friendly staff, delicious lattes, and pastries. The wifi is also good, as well as the ambience. Definitely check this place out! 👍🏼😊

A favorite shop of mine, and that's a fact. I love the rotation of excellent, well dialed espresso, making for a fine espresso/americano/cortado experience every time. The pastries are next level, well thought out, and perfectly executed. The vibes and comfy chairs keep me cozy while I work diligently, or just popping in for a 'spro on the go for a work day on S Main. I love Crude!!
