What Customers Are Saying
“Flatmountain Coffee Roasters has a great atmosphere and impressively fast service. Orders arrived incredibly quickly, and the space itself feels relaxed and welcoming. One thing to note is that you do need to go directly to the barista to place your order, rather than being served at the table.

“Flatmountain is well lit with fast WiFi and a simple aesthetic. A more traditional shot pull is a nice touch. You can watch coffee roasting in the back and chill with the plants and sunlight up front. Tasty iced coffee, but sadly no cream (milk only).

“One of my favorite haunts in Woodstock. The coffee is fantastic and roasted on the premises. I love the high seats near the window where one can do people watching and admire the buzz of Sir Lowry Road. It is tastefully decorated and the baristas have only been kind to me.
