Really enjoyed my visit to Protagonist Cafe.
Had the archetype latte. Asked for half sweet and it was perfect. Great flavor but not too sweet.

Will be back.

I've been coming to Protagonist for years! Absolutely fantastic coffeehouse and a book lover's dream. Delicious pastries and food, top notch coffee, local artists' wares, AND alcohol if that's your jam. My only wish is that they had more food options!

Peyton always greets me w a smile! She even recommended a new drink to me that I ended up loving. Another person there, I think named Brad, was really friendly too. They make Protagonist one of my fav coffee spots to go to!
