Nice ladies. Good food and drink.
But old sits.
Need may be modernized, that's personal.
I recommend like to do more internal decorations, but if people love it this way it is Okey.

The sandwiches are SO GOOD. The bread is always super fresh and delicious, I love their recipes, and they have great sauces. The staff is lovely and I enjoy dining in, especially at their outdoor seating. Whenever I order for pickup, the food is ready very quickly. They also have great desserts!

Absolutely outrageous. My service animal and I were denied entry even after being paying customers. A gentleman, who appeared to be an owner or manager, did not allow us to sit inside because my PSA service animal did not have on a vest. This is in violation of federal law. Sadly, I don’t have time to hire a lawyer and sue them, and when I called the city, they didn't care. (I guess when you’re mayor a criminal under FBI investigation what can you expect) I guess as a restaurant, you can just continue discriminating against people with no consequences. The saddest thing is, I came to your restaurant with my friends from out of town because I wanted to support a local business. ?‍♂️ never coming back. #Discrimination

Chiave is one of what used to be three, now down to two (I believe) Café's. Great pastries, decent prices, and their regular old cup of coffee is very serviceable.

Another ‘home away from home’. It can be difficult to find good service, inviting atmosphere and great coffee all in the same space, but Chiave hits all the bases for me. I also need to have a café that’s
open in the evening to really help balance my work/life. I drink coffee all day.
Thank You!

I’ve been here a few times, and I’ve never been disappointed. Have gotten their breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burrito, the panini, as well as salads. The breakfast sandwiches are fabulous, they’re definitely generous with the portions and you’re not left feeling like your egg-meat-bread ratio is uneven. The service has always been quick and efficient even when they’re busy.

Parking: Can park on Piedmont ave or can park around back in the parking lot where cvs is located

Strong rustic architectural atmosphere. Reasonably priced smooth and rich house coffee. Two entrances Piedmont Ave. and back entrance off 40 or 41st with patio and parking.

I like the Cozy feel of this place and come here a lot. I also like the little back area seating off the parking lot. Some of the food is very good, but other dishes are disappointing. I like the pizza, spaghetti, soup, and BLTA. Avoid the grilled cheese sandwich, which is not cooked enough, and the croissant, which is a real disappointment. There is one guy behind the counter who is never friendly, but some of the other waitstaff is nice.
