“...Beautiful coffee shop with the best chill vibes! Staff was friendly. Latte with oat milk was delicious & STRONG! Loved the entire vibe of this coffee shop! The aged brick, natural light & cheerful vibes was such a pleasant atmosphere.”

“De Fer... More like De Awesome! De Fer Coffee in the Strip District is a step above mostly all other coffee shops I have ever been to based on the level of service, quality of the coffee, existence of wine & beer offerings, and the ambiance of the café.”

- Alan K.

“Wow, what an experience. This place is posh, but weird, sophisticated but a bit gritty. It has it all. They nailed the Cortado (my fav) and the breakfast sandwich was fancy and filling ... It's what I want in a coffee shop.”

- Lee C.
