My first time coming back here since college in 2020. Atmosphere is still quaint and quirky, but that's the best thing Terra Cotta has going for it. Food was not great quality, which I don't expect from restaurants, but it was e x t r e m e l y overpriced for what it is. My husband got a burrito, which was about half the size of a burrito at other breakfast places. Our service was also pretty apathetic -- she was the only one there that morning so we cut her some slack. I ordered a breakfast sandwich but requested no bagel, which in my mind seems pretty straightforward, but this seemed to push her over the edge. She also gave my husband his coffee without a lid on it, which seemed weird to me. She didn't ask whether we were dining in or doing takeout and did our order as takeout, which wasn't a big deal but a little puzzling. It's a cute place to meet for coffee, but not somewhere I'd recommend eating.

I paid $9 for a burrito expecting it to be a substantial size, but it was not substantial, it was very measly. It did not satisfy my hunger, so to finish breakfast, I needed to snack on some homemade yogurt, half a peach, and some venison jerky that I had recently made.

This is a little gem of a place in Alfred, NY, hosting customers from the two colleges, both students and staff. It has a great variety of curry dishes available, in addition to its more traditional breakfast menu. There is some seating downstairs and much more upstairs, including outdoors. The staff are very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. This is a nice, relaxing place to eat in, or take back to the dorm or office.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available.
Clean. Beautiful. Wonderful staff. Totally would go again. Also they have gluten free bagels that you can supplement for a sandwich.

Think the show Friends and you have been transported into that Cafe like setting. Drinks were amazing and if ever back that way...it will be a for sure stop on our list!

I usually go to the terra cotta once in a while, whether that will be to grab a bit for myself or with friends, it's a cute and cozy place to relax especially after a long day of school. During the 2021-2022 school semester, I went with a group of friends and order a bahn mi, I never had yet I wanted to try something new. Ps: I loved it, it was delicious and I was glad to try something new.If you haven't been to the terra cotta coffee house, please go! There are so many delicious options to choose from :)

Wonderful, friendly and helpful staff. The coffee (jomakamecrazy) was the BEST I’ve ever had! And the blueberry muffins scrumptious! Lovely atmosphere. Just made my morning delightful!
Great coffee and breakfast I
