This little coffee shop is awesome. I recently discovered them about a month ago but I try to stop by at least once a week. I’ve only tried their toasted marshmallow latte but it is soo good! The coffee beans they use are so rich in flavor. Not to mention their customer service is great the employees are super nice and they are very quick with getting orders out even when it’s busy. Def one of my top 3 spots in town.

When I’m downtown, 502 Coffee Company is my go-to refuge. Family-owned, warm, and authentic, they serve some of the finest Guatemalan coffee you’ll find anywhere. You can taste the care in every cup — rich, smooth, and perfectly crafted. It’s not just coffee, it’s connection. The kind of place where quality meets heart, and you can feel the family passion behind every detail. Whether I’m grabbing a quick latte between meetings or settling in to savor something special, 502 never disappoints.

First time here and I loved everything about it. Not sure how busy this place gets but for 10:30am on a Tuesday it was quick service. Parking however I was lucky to find an open spot on the streets. Workers were friendly and attentive. I ordered an iced honey lavender latte with oatmilk. I recommend this place.

The area is open with a cool and vintage style decor making it the perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends, work gatherings or even studying & reading. Also, Nancy was so sweet and welcoming!

This was my first time trying this coffee shop, and I’m so impressed! The coffee is absolutely delicious – so rich and flavorful. We tried the coconut latte and vanilla latte, and both were amazing! I’ll definitely be coming back for more. The atmosphere is also calm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax.
