Inspire Coffee

We first discovered Inspire Coffee while visiting family in Lodi, CA this past May. When we arrived early in the morning, my husband’s aunt and uncle already had fresh coffee waiting for us — and they’d made cold brew just for me since I mentioned I preferred iced coffee. It was delicious. They told me Inspire is their weekly go-to spot to refill their growler of cold brew (such a cool system — nothing like that where I live in Idaho!). A few weeks later, I called the shop because I couldn’t stop thinking about that coffee. Even though I don’t live in California, the sweetest young woman helped me pick out which beans to order online and even walked me through their cold brew recipe over the phone. She didn’t rush, just genuinely cared about helping me recreate it at home. Fast forward to my order arriving — not only did it ship quickly, but the packaging blew me away. They had handwritten brewing instructions (censored it for this review so I’m not posting their proprietary info all over the internet ) and included thoughtful notes that showed they remembered my call. It was way above and beyond what I expected, and months later I’m still impressed by that level of personal attention. If you’re in Lodi, definitely stop in for a growler refill. If you’re out of town like me, their beans ship beautifully and taste just as amazing at home. Inspire Coffee has earned a loyal customer in Idaho.

I love the ambiance of this coffee shop. It gives genuine feeling when you walk in. Does not feel generic like the corporate chains. They have plenty of comfortable furniture to lounge on and they even have board games to play. The coffee is exceptional and the staff is always friendly. I would highly recommend this coffee shop.

You are greeted with a warm welcome as you barely step through the door! Their staff is friendly and ready to help you make a selection and serve you with outstanding customer service! And your purchase makes an impact in your community...I enjoyed the purple rain today. It was completely on point! Definitely looking forward to my next visit already!
