Totally Loving the interior space Art Deco vibe! Gorgeous gold and green wallpapers, golden monkey sconces and windows opening the space up to provide a cozy and unique environment for coffee and catching up with friends. It does get packed on Sunday mornings so prepare to wait in line for a delicious Cafe Au Lait or Flat White or Drip coffee, also tables fill up quickly and people tend to camp out on laptops or with their screens. I’ve always been able to snag a table though. They
Have a good food and pastry menu- the Caprese sandwich looks tasty. Service is friendly and quick, prices are reasonable!

Very cool decor. It was a little challenging to get a table, and ordering was a bit chaotic. Overall a pretty good spot!

What a great place to wake up and spend an hour thinking about life and the cosmos... Fantastic atmosphere, good music, tasty flat white lattes, sturdy antique furniture everywhere; looks delicate but I'm 6'2 280 tables don't wobble... Sun pipes in real nice at 8am on a Saturday. Something about it all - Deko just became my favorite chill spot.

Super cute atmosphere and good coffee. It’s a bit tricky to snag a table but a great place to meet up with friends or even do a little bit of work. The baristas are friendly, helpful, and pretty fast (even on busy days).

Oatmilk, almond milk, and soy based lattes have all breen good. So has the iced coffee.

The decor is also incredible—very art deco, very unique. It makes it a fun experience vs just another coffee shop.

Café Deko is such a hidden gem! The vibe is chill but trendy, with a great mix of comfy seating and cool decor—it’s the perfect spot to post up with a laptop or catch up with friends. Their coffee is legit—rich, smooth, and brewed just right (the oat milk latte is my go-to). They’ve got some unique pastries too, and everything I’ve tried has been fresh and delicious. Bonus: the staff are super welcoming, and they know their stuff. Definitely a favorite in the neighborhood!

I visited Deko Café today for lunch. The Art Deco-inspired décor is beautiful and charming, with a modern edge. Luckily there was a table available, as someone was just leaving. I ordered a Caprese sandwich which was excellent, and an iced green tea which was refreshing. Unfortunately for me, the ambience was ruined by the laptops at almost every table. I totally understand why people who work from home would rather hang out here instead. But I’ve walked into other cafés in a similar situation and walked right out again because there was no place to sit. Other than that, great place!

Fantastic interior and art deco atmosphere, every bit from the furniture, to the walls, and the light fixtures fits the vibe.

They offer a small selection of pastries, sandwiches, and a few sandwiches.

Employees brought things to our table when they did not necessarily need to.

Location has a walk up window as well that's open year round.

Nicely locates on a busy intersection, but a bit hard to find parking. The atmosphere inside is calming and friendly, nice to sit down and do some work. The have some tables open for sitting. Their menu is a typical cafe shop in the city but has my favorite, Freddo cappuccino, which they make pretty good.

Great coffee! Really nice seating inside! The maple cinnamon latte was perfect and not too sweet. The flat white was great as well!
