Amazing coffee shop. Queer friendly space and oasis for artists of all ages! I had their lucky charm latte on special today because it’s Tuesday. Beautifully executed concept for bringing art and coffee together. Cannot wait to come here with friends and family in the future!

Vessel. As I understand the intent of the name is to serve as a gentle reminder that we each carry something very unique within us. Humans are herd animals. Vessel is a watering hole. It has the right kind of vibe to pull in people who thrive in the vibe of positivity. I'm from out of town. When traveling, whenever I go into a local coffee shop, I surrender the outcome and basically just ask them to give me something that I would like. After asking me a few questions, she decided to give me a lavender cherry hot coffee. I probably butchered the name and the description. But the taste is a prelude of what awaits each one of us in heaven. If that's not your leaning and you're a Viking who dreams of perishing on the last day of battle, when you reach Valhalla, Odin is going hand you this. Believe me when I say if they don't have exactly what you want they'll have something that you'll love.

The barista was amazing from her skills at making great coffees to her knowledge of Formula 1. Its a fun environment that is dog friendly. The blue healer puppy was named Moo and was adorable. The environment is very inclusive with a strong community awareness. I highly suggest stopping in either for a quick drink or a stop and relax like we did.

i LOVE this spot. it has become a weekly ritual for me and my dog to walk here and treat ourselves. the staff is always amazing and friendly (even when they’re slammed), the shop is always full of cool and incredibly kind and diverse people of all ages. they always have an excellent selection of local goodies & there’s a huge bulletin board full of local resources/opportunities. and tons of zines!!!!!!!! vessel is also one of ONLY TWO downtown coffee shops that allow dogs inside (foster st. coffee is the other) and they are always so kind about giving my dog a pup cup (some of the staff even remembers her sometimes!!) which she greatly appreciates. the water bowl outside for dogs is ALWAYS FULL. which is rare even at spots that allow dogs! i love the extra intention and thoughtfulness vessel provides. even if they served awful coffee, i would still come here for the service and accessibility and community support and the lovin’ my dog gets every visit.

An amazing coffee cafe. The baristas were kind and friendly with everyone that stopped in - our first visit was delightful. The cinnamon toast cereal latte was yummy! All the dogs were adorable that came in - you may not want to leave - the community vibe is inclusive and relaxing.
