Awesome people. Made a cocktail not normally on the menu even when super busy!

Open until midnight I expected this place to be fully "meh" like some other businesses can be, given at the late hour not much competition exists if you're not a bar. Baristas are very approachable and the drinks are great, the walnut brownies are crazy good. Love the available open window seating complimenting the outdoor furniture. Perfect spot to stop during a light night bike ride.

A quaint little coffee shop on the corner of bidwell parkway and elmwood. On a beautiful summer day, it’s nice to sit out in their patio with friends and just catch up. Sometimes the inside can get quite crowded and loud, especially in the winter. But overall, if you looking for a little coffee shop around the corner, this is one of those places

Wonderful people, fantastic coffee, very nice, warm, and inviting place. Very cozy. Really nice staff. First time in there and it felt like I've been there for months.

The chocolate crinkle cookies were fabulous! Bummed I couldn't order a smoothie that was on the board. But the water station was nice.

I do love this cozy corner coffee shop as it's got great atmosphere and staff. Great for people watching, especially in the warmer months! They also serve beer and food here too.

My favorite café in the city! It's always a nice place to visit with a great view, no matter the season. The hot chocolate is really good!

It's really great to have a coffee shop around that's still open late. This is the kind of place where cool people can gather and share art & writing.

My favorite coffee spot in Buffalo. My only complaint is that it’s not larger to accommodate more people as it fills up every time I am there. Excited to enjoy the patio seating with the warmer weather!

Buffalo is fortunate to have a Caffe Aroma as a hub of arts and community with diversity and creativity, friendship and meaning all found here!

I absolutely love their coffee - I get a cappuccino almost every time I'm there. The flavor is perfect and you can get different sizes, which I appreciate for sure. They also have super yummy breakfast sandwiches, which hit the spot on cold winter mornings!

The coffee was delicious, and the staff was very hospitable and courteous. The breakfast sandwich with bacon was also very good, if a little under-salted it's probably better for me anyways. In addition to free WiFi, there are unisex private bathrooms available- which require keys, but those are free to grab above the dirty-dishes bin, towards the back of the bar.

Friendly staff with great coffee and a sparse but varied selection of beer and wine. Both the cafe and it's patio are a bit on the small side, so it's not very conducive to stretching out or having a boisterous conversation. If you're looking for a relaxed drink, this spot is great.

I am a downright coffee snob, coffee FIEND.. this is /the/ best coffee shop I have ever been to. I live right down the street and I visit pretty often. The staff is great, drinks are amazing, perfect foam, wonderfully pulled espresso... It gets pretty packed on weekends especially with the farmers market but they still get the drinks out in good time. The atmosphere is always great and it's my favorite place to go.

This was a comfortable and cute coffee shop. I got a chai latte which was really refreshing and good. I also had a blueberry muffin and a peanut butter cookie both of which were delicious. My latte was made and ready very quickly and the cashier was nice. I loved the outdoor seating, plenty of shade and comfortable chairs. Good shade and just a nice relaxed vibe. I will be coming here again.

Cafe Aroma is my "go to" place at any time of day or evening. I always stop here on Saturday after the Farmer's Market for coffee and a savory scone. Their wraps are yummy. But my favorite time to stop is on a lovely summer evening. I enjoy a glass of wine on the patio where I often meet neighborhood friends. Great little spot!

Had no idea they served alcohol until I found myself drinking a Chocolate Martini on Sunday morning. Is this the person I've become? Yes, and I did it here at Caffe Aroma. Seriously though, nice little coffee place next to an awesome book store!

Such a great little gem to find! Plenty of vegan options which is such a nice thing to see these days. I just went in for a coffee and was thrilled when they had oat milk. Then as I was waiting for my latte I saw some cookies and thought how great a chocolate chip cookie sounded right now. Well then I realized they did in fact have some vegan chocolate chip cookies and a vegan turtle brownie! We got one of each and they were very tasty and the perfect compliment to the latte. I can see this cafe being a wonderful to chat with friends or study, or to run into and grab something quick while wandering around to all the little shops along the area, in a world past a pandemic. I hope to visit again in the future and experience it in all its glory!

Had a really great date here the other day, great atmosphere, and not too loud! Definitely recommend it for a cool place to go in Elmwood that is open when a lot of other places are closed!

Love it here. Awesome, comforting food. An old standby with a great location for people watching. Gritty, yet somewhat sophisticated. Next to book Shop. Could stay for hours. Computer friendly. Almost always crowded. Small, intimate.

Caffe Aroma is a staple in the Buffalo community! I won’t lie, their food is always mid (definitely could make a better grilled cheese myself at home, yet I always order it because I’m hungry). But the coffee is good, free refills a huge plus. I never wear headphones when I’m working here because you’ll always overhear some interesting conversations! Open mic nights are always a blast and the community Caffe Aroma attracts are all good people.

I didn't appreciate this establishment enough while I was in Buffalo ... I hope I can make amends and appreciate it more in the future!

Breakfast sandwich is always on point! Other tasty baked goods and good coffee/lattes etc

I'm partial to Cafe Aroma after working there 20 years ago but it's still my favorite Cafe in Buffalo. Where else can you grab a coffee from the friendly staff with the most delicious espresso and lay in the middle of Bidwell Parkway even in the pandemic? It's the best for quick eats too. The pastries are the best.

went there for a coffee and ended up with espresso martinis, which were delicious It was a Sunday afternoon, people out and about

Great cozy coffee shop with food and sometimes live music.

Love their breakfast sandwiches! If you want crispy bacon, this is the place. Never fatty or soggy.

Love this little coffee shop, it's really nice for me to study here because they don't keep it really cold like a lot of places, so it's really comfortable! They are a small business and I love that they are so kind and giving to people I've seen that are in need. I've seen them do it a few times, so I like to go in to support them.

Got a chai latte, but my drink got taken by another customer with a similar drink. I had to catch the bus, so I was stressing a little, but the barista very quickly made a new one! I did end up making it to the bus in the end, thankfully 😅. She was nice and understanding.

The best and one of the oldest cafes in the city. Before we even had a Starbucks, we had Cafe And Aroma. Thank goodness we still do. Excellent coffee and espresso, tasty desserts and breakfasts, and you will be as happy with a cocktail in the evenings as you are with your morning coffee

One of the best cafes in Buffalo if your looking for a city vibe!

Perfect atmosphere with a great energy! My favorite place to read a book, drink a latte, and enjoy the grandeur of Bidwell Parkway.

Besides being a tiny corner cafe, this shop has always been one of my favorites. Plenty of coffee/espresso options and tasty pastries. They also serve delicious mixed drinks and quick bites. Definitely try a maple pancake iced latte with oat milk (or ask for it blended for an iced cap type treat 🤤)

A local told me this was their favourite place to sit a coffee and gab with a friend. Highlighting it's prime people-watching placement! I had an iced espresso with honey... and let me tell you! My greatest mistake was that I rushed the thing before the espresso could really have it's full way with that ice. But it not only opened my eyes, it also sweetened my steps. Seems like a perfect place to meet up with an old friend, or perhaps find a new one!

So nice to find a place that stays open past 8pm!!! Highly recommend the hot tea latte.

Cool coffee shop that also has beer and some cocktails. Reminds me of an Italian Caffe. Went here 3 days in a row for cappuccino and breakfast.

This place had lots of different options if things to get & had a cute indoor & outdoor seating. I got a caramel cremosa, which was nice for a little sugary pick me up. My friends enjoyed their coffee drinks & the person at the cashier was happy to give recommendations or explain what we didn’t understand.

I’ve been seen this cafe for long times but I’ve never been there. This morning I tried cappuccino and grilled cheese that are so delicious and staff are really nice. Now I’m luckily found awesome local breakfast cafe near my home👍🏻

Elmwood Village wouldn’t be Elmwood Village without Caffè Aroma. A true melting pot of Buffalonians, I’ve met so many interesting people just hanging out on the patio. It’s a great option for being “out” without the typical bar scene. My go-to spot in the city.

Jordan Dotson

Loved that they are open late (12am) because I needed a late night caffeine hit to get me through a drive down the thruway. The mocha drink I ordered was very tasty and hit the spot.

Jessica B

Love the staff, people watching, atmosphere and food. My favorite place to read a book and eat.

Roxanne Garland

Found this gem when visiting the city for a Bills game. Loved the vibe here! Perfect for talking to strangers. We came here for wine one night and then for coffee and breakfast sandwiches the next two mornings. Right next door to a cute bookstore too!

Touba Tarvirdizadeh

It’s a classic cafe, so whatever you expect from a cafe, this place is that. Cozy, small, operates till late night, a great place to chat with your friend for hours or just enjoy your scone and tee on a summer afternoon. It’s one of my favorite places in Buffalo.

Mr_Experience

Simply put, life can be stressful, days can be sad but in the busy Elmwood Village this place brings beautiful people together in an atmosphere that is rewarding to the soul. Relax, rewind, be home here at Cafe Aroma!

Steven Caldwell

perfect lil corner cafe. great prices, the staff are so kind, I love love their breakfast sandwiches. Definitely worth a pop in

Samantha Shelly

Usually I try to gatekeep this kinda thing but honestly it's one of my favorite places. The drinks are all lovely, sure, but I genuinely think this place has the best atmosphere in the city. Im not sure how to describe it fully, it just has a certain magic to it. I love going for open mic nights or to just spend a nice few moments with friends. Although it might be a little odd for a coffee place, I strongly recommend going at night. It's just such a wonderful place to spend time. The food selection is a little sparse though, so don't expect this to be a place to go to dinner. But a nice lunch or post dinner relaxation? It really can't be beat.

Shanaya Deuschle

When I first visited the establishment, the baristas were so warm and welcoming. They were everything I’d imagine the perfect barista to be. Each one I have met has this particular confidence and hospitality about them. Even though we’ve exchanged little words, their staff has always been kind and patient, and not just to me. To everyone. And I love seeing that. The atmosphere is just like one of those jazzy YouTube music videos of coffee shops that you put on as background noise in your living room while you’re reading a book. It’s a vibe. Straight vibe. In person. I can’t get enough of it. Studying at Cafe Aroma was the absolute bee’s knees. They don’t close until midnight!I’ve also gone there at 6 in the morning, and they were great. Solid business. All of their staff that I’ve met are incredible. Morning and night. I noticed so many regulars after a while. It feels like a community within a community. Elmwood in general has a solid community of people. It just feels like some of the best gather in Cafe Aroma. I wish I could bring this beautiful coffee shop everywhere I go. Everyone deserves to experience that classic coffee shop feeling— that relaxing, jazzy morning sipping espresso while looking at local artwork. Cafe Aroma gives you that and more. I will be back, you’d best believe it.

Drove in from the Roc, the Cafe here is quality. Fresh, clean, bold yet not bitter. I really love coffee, it’s always better when I travel abroad and the latte I had here felt like I was outside of the US. It’s very cozy and close knit inside in a warm and welcoming way. It’s very cleanly and despite the crowd my latte was out pretty quickly.

I've redone my review to reflect a recent visit I had here I had a latte and slice of frittata. The two food cases were filled with pastries, frittata, pasta salad, and other things I couldn't see because people were blocking my view. That's okay though because I just wanted some frittata. So if a quick bite to eat is your thing, as was my critique for my last review, you'll find something here. I was served by a wonderful person, we bonded in that small-talk-with-strangers way over having long nails and how I was envious of theirs. They gave me great service and as I had seen here and there while I was at this cafe they provided great service to everyone

John Thomann

Hasn't changed much in the last 20 years and that is okay with me. Such wonderful memories coming here for soccer games in the 2010's. Its new owner has been working there since I can remember, is supremely dedicated and her attention to detail is apparent. She really does love the place and it shows in the decor and service . Staff is always friendly and attentive. And the coffee here is very STRONG indeed. The greatest location in the city for people watching, dog petting, and just good vibes in general. God has blessed this establishment in our beloved Elmwood Village.

Victoria Hyde

Absolutely beautiful inside and out. The atmosphere is THE VIBE of Elmwood village. Please check out the art. It is a magical experience. The staff is over the top amazing. 10 out of 10, recommended!!!

Coffee. Very good. Smooth, but to a fault. Little lacking in area of robustness. Not a ton of flavor but lighter and drinkable. Best (by far, because has anyone ever had it?) cinnamon water. The hot chocolates presentation was great (bonus points for the mini spoon) but half the cup was whipped cream and I wish it wasn’t because it was really good. Really nice people working and they were nice and quick. The seating was a little crammed, still cozy though. And if anyone was wondering there isn’t really an aroma

Susan Wilke

We really liked this coffee shop. Delicious cookies, coffee, & hot chocolate. Plenty of seating, friendly staff, 2 clean single person bathrooms (ask for the key), and comfy atmosphere.

Always an interesting scene. Can be crowded in small space. Good food selections and some outdoor seating. Location at Bidwell Parkway and Elmwood corner may be best funky urban viewing perch in the city. Next to Talking Leaves Bookstore, Buffalo's finest independent.

Overall a solid place for a quick bite and drink on the go. The cappuccino was pretty good. The chocolate croissant wasn’t amazing nor terrible. It was middle of the road for me. I’d definitely go here again!

Service was friendly, but the food is not as good as it used to be. The panini was kind of gross and lacking ingredients (no basil, mushy tomatoes, weirdly wet mozzerella and not toasted enough).

Love the place, wether your looking for coffee or a glass of wine its a good spot. Great patio in the summer, consistent wifi, good service. The place could use some updating and the tables are on top of each other. Not for claustrophobic folks.

A casual cafe with coffee and wine for a younger crowd. Pro: good date meeting spot. Location is walkable with easy street parking. Con little seating available indoors.

Adorable coffee joint that's super convenient in service and in location. I love this place and the staff has always been super helpful with my indecisive nature. Always clean and friendly. It's a great place to take a seat and have some coffee and enjoy the best of Buffalo walking by.

Great place! Great drinks! Love the atmosphere, but..... There is a space problem. The dining area is a bit cramped. That is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. Definitely a five star establishment in all other areas though. Those with disabilities would probably not enjoy this place because of the space issue. If you are bound to a wheelchair, you will not for in the dining area...too many chairs and tables. If you are ambulatory, you will be okay. If sounds and noise bother you, you will not enjoy this place because everyone is kind of on top of each other and you can easily hear their conversations. Those conditions are what they are, they are their facilities, but this place is great! I would highly recommend it to everyone. Watch out Starbucks! 😉

Chilling on Elmwood, where there is allot of activity with my slice of Lemon Cello Cake

Their cocktail with the pink peppercorn (the name escapes me currently) is to DIE for, especially paired with a hummus bagel. I'm often here for Monday Art Markets, the open mic, and some events that my friends collaborate with the owners on. Very nice spot in a beautiful part of Elmwood Village.

Great staff, cozy spot, plenty of outside and inside space. They seem to have a lot of events going on at that space and the spot feels like a safe place for my people.

Great spot for a cup of coffee (free refill) on what's left of Elmwood. Aside from the foul mouthed patron screaming vulgarities into her phone, neglecting her dog--who eventually flipped her table leaving broken ceramic and glass on the sidewalk, it's a wonderful spot for a cheap, great cup of coffee. Best when not packed. A wide array of food including homemade Oreos! Cool spot. Adjoined with Talking Leaves bookstore.

Kind of awesome to have coffee shop, cafe, wine, and beer, all in one adorable, comfy space. They have shutter- style windows to let in the fresh air, which is charming. Sure, your paying the "going out" prices on things, but overall, it's lovely and worth it. Staff tend to be great, owner is very cool, and the atmosphere is unbeatable. Live events most nights, e.g. poetry Wednesdays, open mic Thursday, etc.

Accessible entrance and dining area with tables that move, though very tough to navigate with a mobility aid or wheelchair without moving tables out of the way. Accessible, clean bathrooms. I seem to always find street parking. There's no accessible parking nearby that I know of. Always a hoppin' place where people meet or sit alone to get things done. Prices are competitive as of May 2024, though I found the food a little bland. My traditional macchiato was beautifully done, and that's what I'd come to enjoy. I'd also come to see what new art was on the walls for sale by local artists, what music was playing, and what posters were up to support local events. The staff were lovely and friendly, and worked with my needs. I had a nice and relaxing time.

Great coffee, great people, great location! If you're looking for a quiet out of the way corner, maybe this isn't the best place. But otherwise, enjoy!

1st time here. Nice atmosphere, new guy on register was very nice and patient. Chai is a little bland but the barista fixed it up for me and it was a lot better. Bagels were good, eggs were a huge portion. Bacon VERY crispy.

David Lazar

Had a great breakfast here with a former coworker. Great atmosphere and the Americano was delicious. BEC was just fine but I would try the quiche next time

J K

Nice little coffee shop. Kind of cramped with tables butted up right next to each other and its very quiet. They have Italian sipping chocolate which is really nice. I love that they have poetry readings.

Debisree Ray

A nice, and cozy cafe. I stopped by for coffee and quick food. The barista was nice, and the coffee was good. We ordered panini sandwiches - they were pre made, and he warmed them up for us. It was decent. Altogether to my experience it was decent, nothing over the top or fancy.

+1

Good espresso drinks, meh coffee, meh food, especially for what you pay. A cute city coffee shop with super nice staff. Connected to Talking Leaves book store. They also have wines which makes this a little different than many cafés. They have only one option (salad) if you're low carb, and usually have been out of at least one thing I tried to order. It seems like they make the food at 4am so if you go there at lunchtime everything is shriveled up and dried out.

This place is hit or miss. There is a total lack of consistency when getting any drink that has layers to it. When the barista knows what they’re doing, the drinks here are amazing and my favorite in Buffalo, but it all depends on who’s making it.

We liked the atmosphere and the bagels were awesome but sadly I can't say the same for the coffee we had. I would not have been able to tell it was coffee if I had not known what I ordered. Tasted more like instant coffee that was warmed up and served. Maybe we were just unlucky and were served a stale coffee and the next batch was awesome, who knows.

I want to like this place more than i do. Slow service, they forgot about our drinks, and when they finally arrived, they weren't great. I think the decaf Irish cream coffee was just some old vacuum pot coffee in a cup with a splash of Irish cream and some whipped cream on top, definitely not worth $7. We probably won't be back.

Not very welcoming for being in the heart of the City of Friendly Neighbors. Coffee is average. Staff are self absorbed.

This place looks super vibey from the outside, but once you’re in, the energy is a little different. Staff felt kind of cold and robotic, like they were just going through the motions. You need a giant, ridiculously heavy key just to use the bathroom - not kidding, a 2 kg keychain (but maybe there is a reason..) Coffee was good, sandwich not bad.

I had been wanting to try this place out with all the amazing reviews and honestly the place is a cute. I liked my coffee and the gentleman who handed it to me was nice. Unfortunately, the person who took my order was in a mood (?) and they literally tossed my card at me and walked away to let the guy know what I wanted. I found that extremely disrespectful but I said whatever maybe they’re having a bad day but If I’m being honest it really did put me in a bad mood cuz what did it do to you lol and even after that she kept on giving me this look ? I was so confused and uncomfortable that I had to leave and I honestly sat down and thought about what I might have done to have her act this way and I literally can’t find a reason because all I did was walk in with a smile, greeted her and she had a attitude right away. Mind you I drove from Cheektowaga to try this place out I’m all in support for local businesses but I think I’ll take my business somewhere where I can get some respect 🤷‍♀️

The full-scale employee makeover is off-putting. Nobody seems to know what they’re doing and they’re not friendly, familiar faces and frankly aren’t personable. The whole reason I frequented this place was because I knew people and they knew me. Now, they can’t get my order right, there are less and less regular faces (customers and employees) and the music is even vanilla. I basically order the same 3 things and I haven’t seen the same 3 face behind the bar in a month so I may just start frequent Perks since I can walk there from my house. There is no logical reason for me to drive to Aroma anymore.

I want to give this place money so badly. They are almost next to a Starbucks and I want SO BADLY to support a local business over a chain. But man they make it hard. Yesterday, my friend ordered iced drinks “medium”. The barista instead made hot drinks and told my friend in the future not to say medium because they don’t have multiple sizes of ice drinks so it’ll cause confusion for the barista. Like, he still ended up having to make them iced as originally requested so it just took up like 30 minutes on a hot day because we ordered an iced drink in a size. It’s weird because my husband and I have both worked in coffee shops, both had people order iced drinks in mediums several times, and both of us really got the hang of saying “we only have one size for iced drinks” and never actually just ignored the desire for an iced drink to make a hot one in the requested size. Also it took forever to get the drinks. It was really weird and awkward and not the first unpleasant experience I’ve had here…so I’m really sad to say I can’t see a reason to go back. Good luck guys, I hope I’ve just had some bad luck when I show up and that this isn’t a regular thing!

This is a dinner review. It was ok. You get 3 sticks of butter on your pasta so all you taste is butter. In Italy they cook with only olive oil it’s healthier that way. Also the donut dessert had a pound of baking soda all you tasted was baking soda. The people are great. Really nice service. Dinner food not so much.

We went here because of the good reviews, but this was a really negative experience. the latte I got had watery espresso and the chai latte tasted like water with some dirt in it. “everything” bagel was just a plain bagel with a couple of seeds on it, and there was no seasoning on the eggs. everyone dining in had to-go cups and paper bags instead of ceramic dining ware. based on this experience I would just go to the many other cafes nearby instead

Really wish this place had good coffee. Always lukewarm and on the weak side. Owner not very friendly but I could overlook that if the coffee was better. Great location though

My fiancé and I live across the street and come here almost every day. We enjoy the atmosphere in the nice weather and especially the fact that it claims to be dog friendly and there are other dogs there for our pup to interact with. Today we had one of the worst customer service experiences of our lives here. Our puppy was barking due to another dog being hostile towards it and what appeared to be the woman in charge of the shift came out and condescendingly asked if our pup was friendly and if she could pet him. After that she very quickly said his barking was ear piercing and suggested we took him for “a lap or something.” We were on the end of the walk. Perhaps she could’ve brought out a bowl of water for the dog or a pup cup which ownership usually does for us when we come here. She made us feel so uncomfortable being there that we decided to leave and no longer feel welcome coming to a spot we frequent with our dog. Shameful SECOND REVIEW: Now, full transparency: this isn’t my first Google review of Café Aroma. My last one wasn’t exactly glowing—but something about this place keeps drawing us back. The charming atmosphere, the cozy patio, the promise of a laid-back evening with good drinks and our dog. Sadly, tonight was anything but that. My husband and I stopped by to enjoy the beautiful weather with our pup and some cocktails. I ordered an espresso martini, and as I struggled to carry it outside, a man—apparently a “regular”—offered to help. I was initially taken aback by the kindness… until he delivered the drink and said, “Just give me a kiss and put that tongue in my mouth.” Yes, seriously. When my husband firmly told him to back off, the man threatened to pull a gun. He then tried to smooth things over by bragging about purposely getting kicked out of the Marines, pulling out a half-ounce of weed, and offering my husband both that and a shot of bourbon. (Both refused, obviously.) He kept hovering, returning to our table, making the whole thing deeply uncomfortable. Then, just when we thought it couldn’t get worse, another older gentleman quietly approached and informed us that this man is known to have bed bugs and that there was one visibly crawling on his back. He advised us to change clothes immediately upon returning home. Again, I wish I was making this up—but I’m not. To make matters worse, a sweet young couple on a first date sat next to us and had to witness all of this chaos. Multiple other patrons came up to apologize for his behavior, confirming this man is a long-time problem. As someone who has my own struggles with mental health, I truly feel for him. But there is a line between empathy and enabling—and allowing someone who repeatedly harasses customers, threatens violence, and poses a genuine public health risk to continue hanging around unchecked is beyond unacceptable. Café Aroma: we love your space and your energy, but something has to be done. No business should allow their charm to be tarnished by one dangerous, disruptive person. You’re better than this.

Cockroaches. By the drink machine, and running around the cups, I saw multiple small brown roaches of different sizes. I hope this is cleared up soon

Honestly, not great. And I really wanted it to be! Maybe I caught it on a bad day, but coming here was a disappointment. I came in around early evening, 4-5:00 give or take. My visit may not represent the cafe properly but in summary: stale muffins, easily crowded but good location, drinks weren’t good, and the service wasn’t either. Prices are alright, but you might be better off saving your money. 1) The food I got was…gross. I ordered a muffin and it was stale, with a strange, fridge/supermarket-like aftertaste that was also somehow the main flavor. I have pretty low standards for food and still had to force myself to finish it, but at least I did. My drink, a hot chocolate, was okay and well-presented. I went with another person who ordered something different and they mentioned theirs was super watery. We tried them pretty much from the counter and dined in. 2) Sadly, the person who took my order was cold and unfriendly. I also work in customer service, so I understand having off days and other general circumstances, but I was told they didn’t act like that with other customers. I can’t confirm this, but independent from that fact, it didn’t feel the best and I’d imagine others might feel similarly if they come in with the same experience. I’m sure every employee is lovely, including the person who took my order, but the way things aligned today just made for a crummy experience. And whew, that muffin was bad.

Overpriced, extremely busy and takes ages to get you the simplest of orders. I think the only reason it remains in business is due to the uni students that come to it because of the atmosphere. We asked for our drinks in a mug - they gave us half of them in a mug and the other half in a to-go cup. We asked them to toast our croissant, and they burnt it to a crisp.

Service was not good; unwelcoming. Staff was stressed and it showed abundantly. What was not abundant were eggs. We came for breakfast items that were still written on menu and obviously disappointed. Knowing many people would be coming to town for the eclipse, it would have been wise to prepare accordingly with both staff and ingredients.

The cafe was really good though food and drinks mediocre. One star because awhile back, I had a sandwhich here which ended up having a piece of metal in it. Could have died and was offered a coupon for the inconvenence.

This place has offered good vibes for locals. Despite bad coffee, people are willing to support this local business. I am more than happy to support but the owner is rude, confrontational, and embarrasses customers if they make a mistake. I never go to Starbucks, which is right around the corner, but this place should earn customers with good service.

We ordered the caprese panino and prosciutto panino. They were awful! Such a disappointment. Not worth the $10 they charged for each. We will not go again.
