Terrific food and ambience. Take a stroll around the dining area to view antiques from around the world. Very friendly staff. Will try the al fresco dining area in warm weather. You can linger over a meal, or dessert and a beverage here. Room for a larger party or intimate enough for one or two.

We’ve been coming over for a couple years and more regularly the last couple months on Saturday mornings. The 3 young ladies that work Saturday mornings are amazing. Very kind and fast. This is my favorite coffee shop. We usually just get coffee, but have gotten breakfast and lunch. Every time every thing is delicious.

Great coffee! I ordered a quad shot latte without flavor, so the coffee flavor itself is important to me. It was delicious! We ordered avocado toast with Pico de gallo (south of the border, avocado toast), and we loved it! I think I'd ask for it to be toasted a little more, but that's just a personal preference. Already thinking about our next visit. It's a nice vibe and great for hanging out and great service where visiting is encouraged without feeling rushed. Thank you!

Parking: We were able to get close, free, parking out front.

Friendly baristas. Awesome coffee. We’ve had their chicken salad lunches and they are some of the best!

I walked in and immediately liked the music and look of this little hole-in-the wall coffee shop. To my surprise, it was pretty empty. The two gal’s at the counter were super nice and patient with me while I went over their menu and tried to decide what I wanted. I opted for their Roast Beef wrap without tomatoes. considering how well portioned all the ingredients were, I probably would’ve loved it even with tomatoes. It was a great balance of lettuce, onions, beef and a sauce I couldn’t quite place. 10/10 wrap.

Along with my wrap I ordered a large, half and half, triple shot and brown sugar (And cinnamon I think.. not 100% sure) espresso. Normally I hate espresso from coffee shops. 9/10 they use cheap(ish) beans that have a slight burnt taste to it (Typically because the roaster uses a wider variant in bean size, so some beans roast faster and burn). I liked this place’s espresso a lot. It had a nice full body and a balanced bittersweet flavor. It tasted like a lighter medium roast, possibly a true medium roast.

I got all that for sub $15.

Overall, my brief visit to the Top Hat left me satisfied. I plan to take my Wife there on a date sometime in the future.

Stopped in early Tuesday morning for some breakfast, as they used to have really good breakfast sandwiches. I asked the guy at the counter if they still had egg sandwiches and he said all he could make was a sausage and cheese croissant. He seemed annoyed at my presence. I was hungry so I said sure to the sandwich. $3.75 for a sandwich without egg. Unsure if they're not stocking enough supplies or what that they didn't have egg patties. I had an ok latte about a month ago as well but pretty underwhelming. They had no seasonal drinks and he was annoyed that I asked. So sad as they used to be my favorite coffee shop, but have gone consistently downhill over the past 3 years. The new hours are very limiting as well, and before they finally posted them, I went 3 times just to find they were closed. Disappointing.

Ordered a Large chai latte. Their large is a 16 oz and the total was over $6.There was some sort of pastry or something under a clear dome on the counter. I asked what it was and the young woman at the register said, "I don't know." There was no effort to find out what it was.I got my latte and there was absolutely ZERO chai in it. It was essentially a cup of hot milk. Not sure if they didn't hear the "chai" part of my order or what but I was pretty disappointed.
