I can see why this place is popular. There is a large selection of drinks and baked goods. I had the egg and pesto sandwich and what made it better than typical sandwiches was the bread. I wanted to have a treat but ended up feeling too full to try. Next time. Friendly service and there are regular customers, so it's a nice community feel. This place is old-school in a good way, and there are plenty of places to sit.
Interesting local coffee spot. Relatively quiet inside, even with a good smattering of customers inside. One or two people at each table, with laptops galore. Studying or working, it's tough to know, but it's a regular hangout for all college aged and up.
Counter service is good. Menu is a challenge if you aren't familiar, but options are great. There's a pastry cooler/display on one side of the order counter, but it's not easy to order from the menu and the pastry counter at the same time (you can see one at a time, not both). And order prep takes a while, so there's no real dashing if you're in a hurry.
Pastries we tried we're both outstanding. We didn't have coffee, so I can't speak to that. The hummus plate was really good, and we recommend the spicy hummus.
Definitely worth a visit. Come when you have time to wait and relax.
Nice place. The seating is open and inviting, and the staff is rather friendly and patient. The selection of meals is sort of upscale with very little that one might consider simple, basic types of dishes. The pastries are darned good although not extensive. This place is near campus, so you see a cross-section of college students (the more mature, well-mannered kind) and townspeople. The real downside is parking, which is a problem for many businesses in that area. Overall, it is a good place, but it's rather far from campus for me to walk and really inconvenient for parking if I want to drive my car there.
I own the curated vintage boutique right next door, Butter Twice & Again, and I absolutely love serving Coffeehouse coffee and fresh baked pastries to my customers! I recommend the Cranberry Orange Scone and the Vegan Red Velvet Cupcake! Must try spot for vegan/vegetarians.
The food was absolutely amazing and it was such a lovely atmosphere!! Don't let the fact that its vegetarian or vegan turn you away (also fyi: they have the best fries in town). I can't wait to go down the list and try everything on the menu!
