I had a great experience at this coffee and breakfast spot! The coffee ☕️was rich, smooth, and full of flavor — the perfect way to start the morning. Their crepes were absolutely delicious😋, fresh, and perfectly made. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was cozy, making it an ideal place to relax and enjoy a great meal❤️. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality coffee and a tasty breakfast!

Great seating and atmosphere prime you to enjoy truly great coffee. Even their decaf is delicious. Criterion is my favorite latte in old town.

Don’t get the dubai chocolate latte. Too sweet and was $9.

Great place to quietly do work and enjoy a latte (the maple cold brew was particularly lovely) away from the hustle and bustle of Old Town while still being central.

Criterion has become one of my go-to cafes. I love spending a few hours working there. The people who go there are quite friendly; I've gotten into a few wonderful chats with table neighbors. My favorite drink to order is the chai latte (although a hot jasmine tea or chamomile do just the trick). Sitting upstairs or downstairs are both quite comfortable. But upstairs is my preference since there are plenty of outlets towers if you need to be plugged in. They also play a good range of music that doesn't overpower the ear, allowing you to focus on work or a conversation.

Love their coffee here and the live music!

The Mortadella sandwich and the affogato are sooo good. When we were there on Sunday afternoon they had a piano/saxophone duo, which was amazing too.

Discovered this place as an alternative to my usual coffee shop. This place doesn't disappoint. Home made desserts, delicious food and good coffee. Always something new on the menu
