Cafe Diem is a cozy coffee shop that serves consistently good coffee, with a rotating selection of seasonal flavors. The relaxed atmosphere features a mix of large and small tables, bar seats, and an eclectic "lived-in" decor. While the hot food menu may not be the main draw, the coffee is a highlight, with strong brews and a great cappuccino option. Parking is available nearby, and the friendly staff provide a positive experience. Cafe Diem is a great spot for a quiet breakfast or morning coffee, especially during the weekdays.
The cafe has a nice mix of customers, creating a good cross-section of the community. Customers appreciate the cozy and inviting atmosphere, which reminds them of traditional coffee shops. Visitors have consistently had positive experiences at Cafe Diem, praising the enjoyable food, especially the chicken salad sandwich, and the helpful, kind staff. The barista went out of her way to assist a customer, leaving a lasting impression. Overall, Cafe Diem is a beloved local spot for a delicious coffee and a comfortable atmosphere. The baked goods are amazing, and the specials are great. The chai is a favorite, and the iced strawberry cold foam matcha latte was the best drink ever.
