Food barely warm. Staff obnoxious loud chatting among themselves the whole time while serving customers. Not coming back.

Very cute, small coffee shop with limited seating. Very friendly baristas and many homemade syrups to choose from. I would definitely come back for another coffee and food next time.

this place has the most inconsistent coffee i’ve ever had, but i still keep going back for some reason. i usually get the strawberry poptart latte which isn’t really objectively good but my brain got stockholmed into liking it. i do like sitting and reading there, especially in the summer though.

poor service and not very good coffee or food. will have to come here again and see if the good reviews ring true then. everyone who worked there seemed more preoccupied with taking pictures (presumably for their social media) than actually attending to the many customers in line.

The hash brown egg & cheese bagel is on a bagel thin and cost $8. Coffee is decent. Would go back to try a quiche

Literally the best cold brew in the entire world. No milk needed, notes of chocolate and caramel. If you’re looking for cute, and cozy and amazing coffee, look no further. Limited indoor seating but if it’s nice they have an outdoor patio! Queer friendly <3

Take a large variety of delicious lattes, add in some incredible baked goods (including the best banana bread in the city), top it off with a great team of super friendly baristas, and you’ve got yourself a winner. Can’t recommend Childhood Cafe enough!

THE MOST AMAZING CAFE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!!!! Seriously cannot recommend this place more highly, the staff is so friendly, the vibes are perfect for hanging out, studying, chatting, WHATEVER, and the drinks and food should be MICHELIN-RATED, they're that good. I've never been to a cafe with better drinks and food, or restaurants for that matter. They're also always doing fun things on different days like hosting DJ's, celebrity and NBA player jersey signings (I met Winnie Harlow there one time!!), holiday giveaways, etc., and they're always coming out with new menu items based on the season and what their head chef creates (he's super creative and talented)! Please please please check it out, you will not regret it.
