For coffee drinks, expect to see a variety of popular mainstays, such as Americanos, cappuccinos, lattes, and mochas. There's a healthy selection of teas on offer as well, like turmeric chai, jasmine pearl, and nitro Thai tea.
If you're in the mood for a bite to eat, expect to see five varieties of pizza, snacks like chicken fingers and breakfast tacos, and Morningstar Doughnuts delivered daily. There are vegan and gluten-free options, too.
With a 4.5-star rating out of seven reviews on Yelp so far, Coral Sword has been warmly received by patrons.
Marcus M., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on February 7th, said: "It's wonderful to see this coffee shop and game locale pop up in the East End. Pouring Greenway coffee and serving up Morningstar donuts in addition to other noshes (breakfast tacos, etc.—which I have yet to try)."
Yelper Mark B. added: “There is quite a bit of buzz in my circle of friends about the opening of Coral Sword and was very interested to check it out. I give them an A+ for concept.”
And Jackie K. said: "We tried Coral Sword on its opening weekend, and it was good. I would definitely go there for the coffee (which was very good) and for the awesomely fun selection of board games and cards."
