I love Hope Cafe so much. Their lattes really make my day especially the crème brûlée one. Also whatever the put in their egg and cheese sandwiches is literally crack. Me and boyfriend go to get it all the time. I really hope to explore the rest of their menu but I can’t stop ordering that sandwich. The staff is very friendly and always makes sure to get your order right. They bring the food out to you even if you’re ordering to go which is just a nice touch.

Love the new space downtown much more than previous locations! It is so much easier for me to walk in and get that delicious drink whos name I cant remember. (Maracuja?). Cant wait to come back.

I will visit this cafe. My experience is with Mya, and Lucia. I did a catering job with them and was so impressed. They are hard working professionals. Already have another job. Wow, you’d never know it with the work ethic. I’d hire them again and again. Great girls
