The Mallard Coffee Company

Mallard Coffee Co. is a small, thoughtfully placed shop near the river and within easy walking distance of the waterfront. Street parking is limited, but they offer a patio out back with outdoor seating, which adds to the charm. I ordered the “ham & chz,” which was simple, flavorful, and perfect for something quick and on the go. The coffee is clearly high-grade and premium. They source their beans from June Coffee & Roasting Company out of Birmingham. While they don’t roast on site, they offer both espresso and drip coffee. The 16oz size is for drip coffee only and comes out to $5.45 all in, making it a great option for a quick in-and-out stop. The “Bourbon Capp” is also a popular holiday favorite this December. They offer three main cup sizes: 8oz for cappuccinos, 10oz for lattes, and 16oz for drip coffee. My total order—which included coffee with extras, the ham & chz, a sticker purchase, and a $1 tip—came out to $16.00 even. The owners focus on creating a community-driven, small-town-friendly atmosphere, with soft oldies music playing in the background. Quality food, excellent coffee, fair pricing, and a relaxed riverside vibe make this a solid stop.

Adorable little coffee shop. Seating outside is nice. We got the blueberry matcha and it was amazing. Also the coconut latte as well. Service was great! The bathroom is so cute and calming as well 😀❤️

This is a cute little place, especially if you're a birder. The decor and atmosphere are fun and comfortable; they even incorporate a good merch selection and have a rack of vintage clothes. The mocha was one of the best I've had, and the almond pastry was absolutely phenomenal. ...and you *must* visit the restroom for a little surprise. (Something to also note, they are woman-friendly - tampons and pads are supplied in the restroom if needed.)
