The most amazing Nutella banana bread you will ever have. It’s addictive, as are their empanadas and iced coffee. The vibe is super chill and cozy and they have a cute courtyard in the back with outdoor seating. Deceptively larger inside than you would think! Angie the barista is extremely sweet and preps the order super fast. Check them out.

I love Muddy Water Cafe. It is my favorite cafe to go to when I need to get work done or need some coffee/food to go. The coffee is always delicious and the samosas and empanadas are amazing. There is good free wifi and many outlets available to use. The interior is really cute as well with lots of seating and artwork. The baristas are also super friendly and helpful. 10/10 I recommend going to this cafe. :)

I wish I could leave a higher review because this place is cute and the pastries are good... but the staff working are so outrageously rude, condescending and obnoxious.
Let me start by saying I don't like giving bad reviews, especially for independent establishments. I know it's hard to run a business and good reviews help gain more business. So if this was a situation of "she didn't smile at me when I ordered" I would have let it go and just not returned, no harm no foul.
But this was three experiences over the course of less than an hour that left me with such a bad taste in my mouth I have to say something.
When we placed our order the girl working kept rushing us, even though there was no line. And when I asked for a napkin and straw she rolled her eyes and pointed to where they are. Ok, it's my first time here and we just spent a good amount of money getting a few things and leaving a nice tip so maybe have some compassion?
Then they messed up my order and were really arrogant about it. I was like whatever, I've worked in customer service and some days are tough - I get it. But the icing on the cake was when my boyfriend took our dirty dishes back to the counter (which was really nice - we don't work here, there are no signs requesting to bus your own table.) He put the dishes down and the boy working laughed in his face! Like... LAUGHED! Looked him in the eye and LAUGHED like he was an idiot and did the stupidest thing ever and pointed to where the dishes go which was literally 18 inches away. He could have said "hey thanks for your help, do you mind putting the dishes there?" but no... he LAUGHED!
To the owner - we were there Saturday August 24th, 2024 at 3pm. Maybe look at your staff schedule and let the people who were working know they cost your establishment future business and gained a bad review - which I'm sorry to leave. I hope you can get your establishment in order and please let me know when you do as I believe in second chances and I'd love to come back for a do-over.

Not sure what happened here... but on my recent visit Monday morning (7/1st), they really dropped the ball.

My wife and I came and the place was lively, with decent number of patrons. My wife's latte and toasted croissant came pretty quickly, but my cold brew and toasted samosa literally took like 15 minutes... I was just waiting around while other people kept getting their food...

Did the young girl forget my order? My samosa was sitting in the oven for quite a while... and when she finally got to it, my samosa was burnt on the edges and way, way over done. I did not want to make a big issue so just cut out the burnt ends and just tried to enjoy - beans and mushroom filling wasn't bad - just that it was all over-toasted and thus a bit hard.

Cold brew was also just so-so - tasted rather watered down.
I noticed that both workers were just employees and they were both slow at service (or hammered - one was so occupied making coffee and didn't even acknowledge my presence waiting for my samosas) and just did not have good training overall, which brought my 2nd experience here to 2 stars.

Hopefully it was the Monday one-off leading up to July 4th long weekend.

We stopped in with our three little kids while passing through on a road trip. We had a wonderful breakfast of quiche, pastries and coffee. Food and coffee were gourmet and the atmosphere was welcoming. They even have an outdoor garden area, which was perfect for my 3 young kids. The owner was friendly and so understanding of my rambunctious little boys. Highly recommend!

I came here and ordered a matcha that came out to be completely just milk :/ I also ordered and waited about 10 mins for my drink because the workers were just on their phones :(

The service is excellent. There is also a back yard if you want privacy. The dirty chai is good, as is the Amerigo coffee. The Chai actually has a spicy kick to it. Another good thing is noone rushes you to drink your coffee and leave. Great to just drink your coffee and slowly munch on your bagel or cake.

Drinks were great. Prices were also great, under $5 per drink. They were well sized too!! What I especially like about this place is when I asked for light ice the worker let me choose the exact amount of ice I wanted, such an extra perk. I would definitely recommend coming here if you’re in the area and looking for a cup of coffee, pastry, or a Matcha.

Vegetarian options: I’m pretty sure everything is vegetarian.

Dietary restrictions: All drinks can be made dairy free. They have a vegan gluten-free pastry, and I’m pretty sure everything is vegetarian.
