Oddly Correct Coffee Bar is Oddly Delicious

Oddly Correct Coffee Bar is the perfect spot for any cof- fee connoisseur. Located on the corner of 39th and Main, the local joint’s eye-catching name and unique coffee attract an array of people. Unlike your typical coffee shop, Oddly Correct roasts their own coffee blends in house in search of the perfect cup of joe. Not only do they have one-of-a-kind coffee, but the service there is great too. This is the REAL deal.

Walking into the coffee bar, I expected to find a menu filled with the typical sugary drinks that you would find at Starbucks or Lattéland. This was not the case. The Oddly Correct menu was short and sweet, featuring three different coffee options made in house and a short list of espressos. The person working the cashier was happy to explain the menu to me and let me know that they switch their roasts weekly.

Something that sets this coffee apart from the rest is the fact that no cream or sugar is put in any of their blends. The roasters prefer to preserve the coffee’s natural flavors and show it off to their customers.

Not knowing the flavor and caffeine overload I was getting myself into, I decided on a macchiato and a mini blueberry, raspberry and peach pie to bring home for later. I took my spot at one of the few tables and took in the atmosphere.

The interior of the shop, made almost entirely of wood, gave the place a homey feel. There were regulars talking and laughing in one corner and a new customer learning that each cup of coffee was brewed to order. In another corner I saw two good friends catching up and later learned that one of them was the owner.

My first impressions of the place were good because of the workers, and I hadn’t even taken my first sip. All of the employees were extremely friendly, helpful and showed their love and dedication to coffee.

As silly as it sounds, it truly looked like the employee put everything he had into making my drink. When it was brought to my table, the presentation was simple and appealing. Sitting on a wood plank was my macchiato and a glass of sparkling water. I wasn’t quite sure why the sparkling water was needed, but as soon as I tasted the macchiato I was over-whelmed by the strong taste. The sparkling water was a great compliment to the coffee drink and really mellowed out the overwhelming taste.

Like I said earlier, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I am not a coffee expert or even a huge fan of coffee, so although the drink was strong for me, I could see how a regular coffee drinker would rave about this place. If I were to do it over again, I would have definitely asked the worker to suggest something for a novice coffee drinker.

After spending some time there, the owner of the shop approached me to see how my first experience was. I haven’t been to many places that show the initiative and compassion to talk with their customers. That action alone would have made me like the place more. Oddly Correct Coffee Bar left me impressed with the passionate workers and bouncing off the wall from the caffeine.
