“Caffe Caffe is a fantastic spot that truly exceeded my expectations! I had the pleasure of trying their latte macchiato and cortado, both of which were superbly crafted—rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor.

The pastries were the real highlight of my visit. The beef burek was delicious, with a perfect balance of flaky pastry and savory filling. The crème brûlée croissant was hands down the best pastry I’ve ever had—flaky, decadent, and filled with rich custard that was simply divine.

The café itself is beautifully designed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for enjoying a leisurely coffee or catching up with friends. The service was excellent, with friendly staff who were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I can’t wait to return to indulge in more of their offerings!“

“We have driven passed this place for 20 years and never stopped because the location is kinda weird and the outside doesn’t look very appealing.
Well we are KICKING OURSELVES for not stopping sooner!!! We finally decided to give it a try and it is DELICIOUS! Everything is so fresh and tasty. All the staff is also very friendly and welcoming.
Not much sitting inside though, it’s kinda small and the place was packed both times we stopped by.
It’s definitely worth the crowd though. Delicious food, friendly staff and very reasonably priced.“

“Great small brewery! Very friendly owners who provide great customer service and offer a welcoming atmosphere. There are many really good beers here, but the strong blonde ale is fantastic.

This brewery is more tucked away on a back Vista road, but it's worth finding your way here. The tasting room bay widows open up, and it's a perfect place to sit while the sun is out and enjoy the amazing weather.

There are often food trucks here while you can grab some food while you enjoy your beer.“

“Wow! I love this place! The staff was so friendly and kind. They gave me recommendations and my coffee was made before I even left the register! I got an iced specialty drink and it was ✨sublime✨. It was the perfect blend of sweet and coffee where a lot of other places it’s either one or the other. I got the HOB sandwich on a croissant, and it was AMAZING! The sandwich was so warm, so tasty, and the perfect amount of food. It even came out on a beautiful wooden tray! The atmosphere is 10/10 and I would definitely come again. Thanks for such a great café experience! 💖

Parking: Close by to the coffee shop.

“We love Shores. With football now starting, it is not so great. It is known as a Packers bar. Today there were 6 Packers fan and the rest of the other team fans had to listen to the loud Packers game. Also, one bartender saved seats for over 2 hours for people who didn't show up. That is not right for everyone who shiftwd seats to accommodate the regular guests. Not "shore" if we'll be back during football. I hope Pete figures it out.“
