Live from The Soundry! Its this guy! Talking to you about this place that he is in. This week I took a journey(literally last minute) to a small coffee shop/independent artist/musician artsy fartsy hipster spot. As I speak there is a group of artists past the hallways behind me, are each working on tediously on their own individual pieces. While a guitarist in a different set of rooms is set up with a tape recorder and a six string trying to figure out where he wants to be in his song. All the while the shop keep passes a coffee cup with a sleeve that says “F*ck the Machine” to one of my companions. The Soundry was a unique experience to me, walking in I instantly felt comfortable. The 12pm crowd was light but instantly friendly to my party as we entered. After a quick self guided tour through the facilities I made my way back to the front to get a cup of their coffee. $1.25 got me a 16oz cup with as much cream and coffee as id like until I left, which is very good considering that the coffee is nearly as good as The Amphora. The Soundry also offers a slew of specialized coffees, Mochas, french press, etc. I however did not get a chance to try them; I figure if their standard coffee is good then their special coffee cant be far off from its basis. The Soundry is also open real late(its 1am and i'm sitting at a table writing up this article), so its a perfect spot for the late night crowd to show up, grab endless coffee, and relax with a bunch of hipster artists for several hours. The only thing it really lacks is any sort of snack food floating around. I feel like this place could take a healthy dose of things such as pizza bagels, hot pockets, and taquitos to serve for their crowd. All and all The Soundry is a great place to get in touch with your artistic side in good company with a great batch of endless coffee flowing forth from a pot in the corner.

Hey there! Thanks for blogging about us. We will work on the food, but I have to say our organic, locally baked Whoopie Pies, Chai Cupcakes, and other such goodies are worth a nibble:) We also have $1 pb&js and a mean basil, Mozzarella & Tomato sandwich as well as a Veggie Wrap. I hear what you are saying though-chips & late night munchies. I will see what we can do.
