Fantastic cold brew

My review here is long over due! Having lived in the area for 3 years, this place always hits with their breakfast tacos and SALSA!! Best salsa, it’s homemade and reminds me of my grandma’s recipe. The baristas are always so friendly and welcoming. Plenty of room to sit and enjoy but they do not have WiFi. I personally haven’t had the best coffee drink experience. I don’t know if it’s just ingredients or how it’s made but they definitely have a lot of options!

As a lifelong vegetarian in a sea of vegan restaurants, I LOVE that this place caters to us and I can get real cheese and vegetarian proteins that aren’t only made of carbs/fats. I felt like I hit the jackpot when I moved to the area almost 5 years ago. The food is always AMAZING and the drinks are good. While it sucks that prices have gone up a bunch, they match the local competition. As far as I know they still haven’t brought back the WiFi, but I assume that is to keep people moving since the place is small. If they had WiFi, I’d come here everyday. Patty and the rest of the crew are so kind, and I’ve NEVER waited long for food or coffee. 🤎

Nice minimal spot with good food. The labneh and fig toast is pretty simple, but also good. Avocado toast, and esp the breakfast burrito are more hearty.

I came around 11 am in hopes to make a quick stop before meeting a beloved friend. Catching up on life errands as life goes on.

The location is located at the corner of streets. Street parking is conveniently available. I ordered a decaf latte and have been struck by the busy ebs and flows of people. It’s a wonderful area to get into deep conversation with friends.

There are a few outlets here and there if you need a place to study.

The menu features brunch options that I hope to try another time!
The space is cozy.
I can tell the place built up a supportive community of regulars.
I’m grateful for this

Loved their breakfast burrito and their house made hot sauce! Coffee hit perfectly. Ambiance was cozy but bright!

I'm going to review this from a very individual perspective given that I am vegan coming here to hopefully eat a vegan meal.

Found this place looking for a vegan spot in downtown. Saw it was vegetatian and eh what the hell. I arrived to the cutest little place. Parking was a bit hard. I had been wanting to come here before but ultimately chose another location strictly because of traffic. Today i Found a meter across the street.

Came in and the person at the counter Patty is the loveliest person ever. I asked for vegan options, she informed me there werent many but gave me a rundown of what can be made vegan. I ultimately wanted chilaquiles, asked for a hummus sub and she generously added avocado.

The chilaquiles? Delicious. Spicy w the onions. Mua.

Why 4 stars? Well two simple reasons, parking situation and the limited vegan options. Look i know parking is infair but look, it was mostly bc of vegan options just didnt want to be snotty

Also: it is vegetarian and i was informed there were meat options off menu which tbh was not fond of, i mean i get it but because of the limited vegan options, i was distraught.

All in all, if it weren't advertised as vegetarian, I would have given this spot 5 stars.

Patty saved the day. Look maybe it should be 5 stars just bc of patty, maybe if they add a vegan option ill come back and leave a 5 star.

Thanks so much for a wonderful time Cow Cafe

Walked in and no one acknowledged me. Was confused on what to do. Do I order at the front or?! Went to the front the lady with the Afro didn’t even look at me. I stood in front of her trying to look at the menu and catch her attention but she ignored me. Even sat down for a good 5 minutes and still no acknowledgment. Decided to leave because I never want to be treated that way. The atmosphere wasn’t friendly. Ended having a greater experience down the street at @Bluestone Lane Cafe at Moxy Hotel. Would recommend!

Plastic shame. Coffee: 5 stars. Planet: 0 stars. No reusable cups? Come on, it’s 2025. No matter how good the coffee is, it’s feels awful drinking from these flimsy wasteful cups. If Starbucks can serve in a ceramic mug, why can’t you?
