The Refuge Cafe

3/17/19 update: Still awesome but cafe closes at 3pm Monday through Friday, so plan to visit early.

Visited twice this week. Had an iced cafe mocha, which was awesome. The perfect balance of flavors. The coffee was super smooth and not acidic. Also had a delicious scone. Ambiance is perfect. Quiet enough to be able to have a conversation. Will return and try other menu items. Staff was friendly and brought my coffee to the table.

Nice space with contemporary feel. Excellent baked goods, black & white latte was really good. Service a bit spotty but, overall its a winner. And they help local non profits which moved them from 3 stars to 4 in my book.

How can you not love a place that combines seriously yummy food, charitable intentions, and a quiet, welcoming environment? This restaurant is a Catholic Charities enterprise, and they put people to work who need employment or job experience. There's a small conference room in the back you can reserve, and it's quiet enough for meetings over coffee. I always walk out of there feeling like I've eaten well and done good all in one.

A peaceful place to enjoy well made drinks and food. The Refuge doesn't feel like another cafe. The menu is broader than you'd expect and they really seem to take pride in what comes out of the kitchen. Always an enjoyable experience.

Really great place. We stopped here for breakfast and the burritos were cooked and put together very well. I was very satisfied with space inside. Plenty of room to get comfortable and chat or play any number of house games available. This is a sure winner. And the staff are terrific. Very polite and accommodating.
