31 Best Cafes in Fort Wayne

“I highly recommend this establishment but today unfortunately for the first time I have experienced poor customer service. I will definitely come back but I hope I’m not treated rudely again.“

“Great place for breakfast and lunch. Please go and enjoy.“

“Always a welcoming environment with tasty food and delicious drinks.“

“This place has the most unique drinks in Fort Wayne with the most knowledgeable bartenders. And they don't mind when you ask a million questions about ever drink they make. Tonight my favorite was the Songbird and the hubby loved the Si gorilla.“

“Today was my first time in, just found them via random Google search for breakfast locations near me, while I was visiting the Fort Wayne area- I'm all about supporting local small businesses, everywhere I go, especially when it comes to food... the food was so delicious and you could tell that it was cooked with purpose and soul, not just left under a heat lamp till someone ordered it, and so delicious... highly recommend the pancakes, they are super light but full of flavor! Personally I'm vegetarian, my friend is not, but we both ordered the breakfast sandwich special of the day, and I was able to substitute with impossible sausage, they also offer turkey sausage if you don't do pork. And the food isn't even the best part: it's what I found out from the owner while we were eating- it's what the cafe means to her! The owner is the sweetest, most genuine women you could ever meet. She explained that she's not exactly had a great history of making choices in life and been in some rough spots herself, and has overcome the odds that got stacked against her to get where she is today. Not only did that story touch my heart strings, but she then went on to say that also her staff is mostly those who that society mislabels and judges before knowing their stories, and she is willing to give them a place and chance do better for themselves. Unfortunately two of the people working that day didn't come in, but you would never know because she ran everything so smoothly!! If you're in need of breakfast or lunch in the Ft Wayne area, definitely stop in! You won't be disappointed! Once you become a regular they'll even greet you by name as we saw several times during our time there!“

“Great place with great people. We are from Mississippi and it’s our first time in Fort Wayne. We got an Uber to empower energy and ended up being stuck there because there wasn’t an Uber available to take us back to the hotel! Rylie ended up giving us a ride and we are so thankful! Great teas! Great staff!“

“I recently ordered a Tower burger.. it is still on my mind, it was AMAZING!! It had cooled by the time I returned to work but I did want to microwave it....it was great even though not hot...I highly recommend it.

Dietary restrictions: I don't have any but a person can order options

Parking: Paying a neter

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible but it is a small space“

We also participate in the rewards program and try out different snacks/energy bombs with the earned stamps from each purchase. Big shout out to Josh, Brennan, Drew, and Deb for always taking great care of us!“

“Everything from the kimchi to the kimbap triangles is absolutely delicious. An absolute must try is the iced sweet potato latte with soy milk. It's life changing!“

“Conjure has great coffee but I love going to the Union Street Market location to see my favorite barista Carmen. She is friendly and fun to talk to, loves her job and makes a great Lavender Latte!“

“Ran through to get a pistachio frappe and sugar cookie to share with my pup. Ended up with a pistachio frappe with sugar cookie syrup. Gotta say it's yummy as hell. They gave me the cookie free and Rue a pup cup of whip, if the pups are happy, I'm happy.“

“Caliente has evolved a lot over the past couple years. One thing that is consistent however , is the awesome food. Priced well and worth the money. Anytime I'm working in downtown fort Wayne , I make it a point to stop in for lunch at least once a week!“

“We love this place so much we had our baby shower here! The price to rent the cafe and have catering was way more than fair. They were so kind and truly made us feel special 💖“

“Fresh delicious & healthy choices to go or dine in & online ordering too!“

“Conjure has great coffee but I love going to the Union Street Market location to see my favorite barista Carmen. She is friendly and fun to talk to, loves her job and makes a great Lavender Latte!“

“The ladies where great and Fatboy always loves a good treat for going to get mom’s tea🥰“

“Who knew an espresso with a splash of macadamia milk would change the entire dynamic of the drink! It's a liquid cookie. Of course,I brought along my miir espresso tumbler with the logo of another local coffee joint; in my mind, they're friends that share secrets. This place has tons of fun options and
the relaxed and casual atmosphere is a nice break from a busy day. The music is soft and low, the air is nice and cool, and the coffee is perfection. They need their own cup and I want to collect it and a reduction in price, like is offered at 9th Street Brew in Auburn, would be a lovely addition to the menu.“

“10/10 best customer service! Nick" is always so helpful. will go again !“

“Great space, fast and friendly service, and delicious latte!“

“Classic American sugar driven coffee spot, lots of menu options with some original ideas like the Ghost Pumpkin! Very tasty but swimming in diabetus - odd considering I even went for macadamia milk instead of the cow's milk which would have added even more sugar. My other buddies went for lesser sweet stuff and seemed to enjoy it more. Staff is very polite, great location, a good area for relaxing and working on papers, and overall easy to recommend for the FW coffee scene!“

“Eat there every day. Great Family“

“I thunk these folks do a great job . on this particular Sunday, the first day of daylight savings time changes business patterns so it seems everyone goes to breakfast at the same time so places get very very busy , You take a look around and see all the people that are ordering basically at the same time and wonder why it takes a little linger , per my experience it may take a bit longer but I didn't mind because the food was delicious.“

“As the great Nandor the relentless said: “Listen to me, little man. From Panera Bread you came, and to Panera Bread you shall return”.

Was I expecting the atmosphere and taste of a small French bakery hidden in the foot hills of the Grande Casse? No.

But is that what I got? Also no.

Was it suitable as a light meal while on a road trip to a place with better food? Debatable.

Will I return to this, or any, Panera Bread again? Likely yes, as all Americans must, at some point.“

“Didn’t like the orange flavoring in the cinnamon roll icing.“

“Very good food. Always enjoy this location too“
