Ain't Normal Cafe is a charming spot that offers a warm atmosphere and delicious food. Their scones are a standout, and the selection of coffee beans from various roasters is impressive. The avocado toast is a highlight, with its perfect presentation. Seasonal pastries are also a treat, and the savory scone is considered the best by many visitors. The cafe's natural light creates an inspiring environment, making it a great place to relax with a book or focus on school work. The coffee options include rich and complex brews, with a perfect balance of flavors, such as an espresso that is often praised for being perfectly dialed in. The cafe also serves a comforting breakfast of grits with a jammy egg, elevated by Asian spices and large salt crystals. Outside seating is pet-friendly, allowing dogs on the patio. Inside, seating can fill quickly, but the service remains friendly and attentive. The cafe sometimes offers sandwiches starting at 8 am, although they may not always be available right at opening time. Overall, Ain't Normal Cafe is a popular spot for coffee lovers and those seeking a cozy atmosphere.
