What a disappointment. The owner was working and was not pleased to be there or happy he had customers. Complained about working Sundays but also bragging he owned the place. Slow service and product and supply was covering most of the seating area.The only saving grace was the Mocha I got was decent enough, nothing mind-blowingly good thoughI hear there is another employee that is pleasant. Hoping the owner sees this and decides to stop working personally and just manage the place.

The tall old guy is a jerk. Clearly he’s annoyed that anyone walked into the cafe. Terrible customer service. Wouldn’t recommend this place to

Pulled in on a road trip to grab a coffee. The sole worker, a tall older guy who was sitting at a table with his buddy (the only other person in the place) was obviously annoyed that he had a customer. I asked the worker if he had a washroom. He said no. I asked him if he knew where the closest washroom was. He replied, facetiously, and I quote: “Who knows? Your guess is as good as mine.”I pulled out, drove 100 yards down the road, and hit a Dunkin’.The coffee was good and I grabbed a couple of munchkins as well.I love good coffee, but I wouldn’t drink Social Café coffee if it was free. And that guy wins the @sshole of the month award.

Latte was okay after I was able to drink it. Served volcano hot and couldn’t even hold it let alone drink it. Dumped some ice from my wife’s iced coffee in it and the cubes disappeared instantly. We went to sit down and owner? reminded us of the closing time 40 minutes from now. It took that long for the coffee to cool down.

Siphon availability is a plus, but unfortunately came with a less-than-pleasant attitude from the server with regard to the preparation

Stopped here because we were sick of Starbucks on a weekend away for work. Stopped here at the suggestion of friends we were staying with and I'm glad we did. The barista was super friendly and the coffee is really tasty, flavored but still coffee-forward. I suggest stopping in if you want a relaxed, friendly experience.

Dietary restrictions: They have non dairy milk.

Have tried to go twice now despite the awful recent reviews. Closed both times well within post hours. Unacceptable.

First time going… By far the worst Frappuccino ive ever had in my life. I ordered a caramel frap w whipped cream. Took 15 minutes to make, came out watery then said he had no whipped cream. Tasted like a cup of milk with some coffee in it. No ice at all. I could of went down the road and got one for $2.99 much better. $7 down the drain, wont be back.

I went here with my wife we both had a bad experience here.My wife has a dairy allergy and can't have caffeine, but she adores coffee still. Every coffee shop we have ever been to has accommodated her allergies very easily.At social the barista was unconcerned and uncaring about my wife's allergy. Upon stating we would like the drink decaffeinated the barista got upset and said the drink would be horrible and their decaf beans are garbage, which made my wife upset and uncomfortable. This made it seem like we didn't belong here or we are a problem.We left after this. If you have an allergy or want decaf, do not go here.

Very nice small coffee shop! Good coffee and really good pastries.

This is a wonderful little, uniquely decored place. Every time I have gone in, the staff were remarkably pleasant which makes for a much better experience than simply being shoved a coffee through a window. The selection of beverages and food items is ample and really great quality. Everything seems to gleam with cleanliness. While the parking in front is limited, there is a lot in behind it too or off to the side. It's well worth frequent stop ins by locals and those just passing through would appreciate the social aspect of Social too.

Almost $8 for an iced latte & it was not that great. Not enough flavor & the oat milk isn’t creamy. No thank you. Extra star for friendly customer service though.
