Okay this cafe is cute and the coffee is good sure. But the barista was SO rude and the service was VERY slow. I waited 15 minutes for my drink, she said “um what are you waiting for?” In a rude tone like she wanted me to go away. I said my order, she made it, slid it across the bar and went “yours”. She also made the wrong size but it wasn’t worth waiting another 15 minutes for the right size. Idk I just think for an $8 latte I should at least get my order right. And I understand waiting if it’s busy but it really wasn’t busy.

The cruffin was amazing! 5/5
My drink, apple pie latte, tasted like milk and a spoonful of cinnamon. Though, presentation was great.

My wife and I enjoyed this place a lot. The drinks were delicious, food was delicious and the place is beautiful inside. Just wish the people working the counter were friendlier, they were nicer to people who were regulars.

This place is also dog friendly, plenty of people had their pups in here.

Almost home was such a beautiful coffee shop. Very aesthetically pleasing! I came with two of my friends as we were waiting for our reservation elsewhere. We ordered 3 French 75. We were racially profiled by the cashier/Batista. Our drinks took 26 minutes to be made as we watch the cashier sit back and serve multiple other customers who were ordered behind us online. We were not updated while we waited. When I approached to ask the time remaining after 15 minutes of waiting she rudely answered “I am working on it now” she in fact did not work on it busy day back and wondered into space and laughing with another coworker.

They’ve been open long though for them to not be such a mess. Extremely long wait times (20 min for coffee) and unfriendly service. And the food isn’t good enough to warrant putting up with all of that.

Great coffee spot. Perfect for reading or working. The latte was good and the croque monsier was delicious. I also got some truffle fries.

I went in here on a Saturday. Mind you I called at 1:30-2 and asked if it was a dine in or order at the counter and they never mentioned to me that they stop taking food orders at 2:30. So I stroll into the place at around 2:25 and to preface, on apple maps it says the hours are 7am-9pm. well they close at 3. We stroll up to the counter, and they stare at us for 5 minutes so they don’t have to take our food order, and then they took our order, they didn’t heat up my muffin and cinnamon roll, and forgot to give my friend his croissants. The pastries were good the coffee was mid but the service made me want to lose it. So rude it was like I inconvenienced them or something.

I tried a shaken espresso here, and it's now my favorite in the city. The place is perfect for working, with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. If you're in Old City, check it out!
