This was the only coffee shop in Midtown that we rated. As for the two coffees tried, they were both sub-par. The vanilla latte was too milky with not enough vanilla, and the smoky caramel latte was indistinguishable from the vanilla latte. The overall rating was a 6/10 for the two coffees, which is not bad but nothing special. City and State was the cheapest coffee in terms of base price at $12 for two drinks, but in relation to their size and their quality, they were pretty overpriced. On the upside, there’s a gift shop attached and a good amount of room in the actual coffee shop. Unfortunately, it’s usually pretty busy. The less-than-good coffee and its distance from St. Mary’s (a 10-minute drive) makes it a lower-ranked spot. If you’re in the area and in need of caffeine, we recommend you give it a try.
Overall: 3/5 okay coffee, great store vibes, midtown location
