Amazing selection and great taste! The staff is so knowledgeable and always give me great recommendations when I can’t decide what I want! Keep up the great work!

Dropped by on Father’s Day. Got some sort of coffee with a side of terrible customer service. Asked for the coffee to be a bit sweeter, and I got “that’s how we make it” and “this is not Starbucks” as a response. That’s great. However I’m the one paying for the coffee and I don’t believe I asked for snide remarks with it. Will absolutely never be back.

Always a delightful experience at Porch Light, the owner and staff are friendly and ready to serve with a smile. Good coffee and nice atmosphere for cranking out some work or taking care of projects with business partners/friends. Fits the vibe of Uptown pretty darn well.

Cute little spot for a meet up with coworkers to get out of the office but still be productive.

Walked in, and it smelled of sour milk. I wanted to turn around, but I'd promised my husband coffee. I defaulted to the Carmel apple cider because I don't do spoiled milk. Hubby got the maple latte, and the lady behind the counter had the bad attitude special ?. My cider was a packet of instant cider with a couple pumps of caramel... which is to say weak/watery. My hubby's was full of 2% sour milk... which tasted rancid. I wanted to throw them away in front of the people and go somewhere else. Hubby doesn't like to waste money, so he drank them and I went to Twisted Bean for a good morning coffee.

I visited this place for the first time today for stress relief. The atmosphere was perfect if you're looking to study or just relax. The restrooms were clean and orderly. The sandwich that I got was croissant egg, cheddar, and sausage(?) And it was so good. The peanut butter mocha was also delicious although even distribution of the peanut butter with the coffee would have made it so much better, but I loved it! 10/10 recommend. I would definitely visit this place again.

This was my first time at Porch Light. It is very cozy inside with couches and work/study spaces that have private partitions. I ordered a Cookies and Cream Frappuccino. It was pretty good. I also ordered a sausage and cheese breakfast sandwich. It was less than desirable. I believe them to be frozen sandwiches, definitely not homemade. I also ordered the sugar cinnamon donuts. They’re pretty basic. Nothing spectacular. Nice staff. I might check it out again. The atmosphere and coffee was the best part about my visit.

I never get food here, but what I love previously was their ever changing drink board. However, now it doesn't change as much, and many times, the drinks aren't steaming hot. This makes them cool way too fast. Their drinks are very good and we make an occasional stop here.

The atmosphere and the coffee are good, but it's hard to find a quiet place to sit and have a conversation. It's very loud inside. Coffee only, no food ordered.
