  The original Lucky Goat Coffee location and still the home of the best cup of coffee in Tallahassee!
  
  Lucky Goat is everything that you could ever want in a coffee shop. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the coffee is quality and tastes like black gold, and the staff is happy to teach you something new about your favorite drink! The Goat Bomb is an absolutely must-try, especially as a electric shot of energy during the hot summer months. Seriously, I didn't know a cup of coffee could go down that smooth. Otherwise, I typically order their cappuccinos for a nice breakfast drink and throw in a fresh pastry from Tasty Pastry that they always have in the case.
  
  As a caveat though, the seats fill up quickly on the weekends with students and other people studying and working, so come in early to stake out your seat. And, as a result of this, parking can be hard to find too.
  
  Nevertheless, Lucky Goat, you are truly my favorite cup of coffee in Tallahassee!

  Lucky Goat used to have storefront in a small strip mall, down the street from this location. They've exploded since those days, and it's easy to see why.
  
  Their cold brew is infused with nitrogen, which gives a frothy, creamy mouthfeel even without added dairy. Cold brewing generally results in a milder, fruitier, and sweeter taste. They serve it in a pint glass and I order it without ice which makes me feel like I'm drinking a beer before noon, but in a socially acceptable way. You can even get it with a shot of espresso ("a Goat Bomb"), flavored, or with vanilla/cream ("a Tallycinno"). They once told me that the Black Gold French Roast is the coffee they use in the cold brew. I've made it myself overnight in a french press. While it's quite good, theirs is better. I have their growler and occasionally treat myself to a 64 oz refill of cold brew. When you want a few glasses, that's the most economical way to go.
  
  A pound of their freshly-roasted coffee is my go-to hostess gift when I'm visiting someone out of town. If I'm not choosing a single origin, my personal favorite is the the Billy Goat breakfast blend. For someone who prefers flavored coffee, consider the Southern Pecan.
  
  This is a great place to study on weekdays when it's a little quieter. When it's busy, you can park in the gravel lot on the far side of the building. Their baristas are knowledgeable and skilled if you'd like to order a drink that isn't merely poured from a tap. My favorite pastry is the neon green pistachio muffin that tastes like the batter had a nice douse of pistachio (or almond?) extract. The cold brew brownie is a close second.

  Parking is or can be an issue at this location. Some spots limited to 15 minutes. Other spots may not be available depending on the number of customers.
  
  The coffee is excellent. Ditto for the pistachio muffins.
  
  The folks working here are young, friendly and knowledgeable about the products.
  
  On my first visit, this location is fairly crowded. I got one of the last seats available.
  
  Worth a visit. This is also a good place to work. The internet is fast enough and the caffeine may speed up a person's work.

  I am not a coffee drinker so I have not tried the coffee however, I can tell you that it is spacious and the ambience is nice. The baristas  were also very friendly.

  I always love coming to this location because the staff is always so friendly and the atmosphere is always cozy. They know how to make my drink just the way I like it! If you need to study or do some work, this is a great place to get it done. Parking is available in front of the cafe as well as along side it.
