Small Format is a charming café offering coffee, tea, CBD, cocktails, and various drinks. While beverages can be hit or miss, the food has consistently been excellent, and a recent menu update has added incredible unique flavors and options. Prices are on the higher side, but the two vegan options, including a "cheese" sandwich, and ample vegetarian choices make it a worthwhile visit. The café is LGBTQIA+ owned and operated, featuring cooperative worker ownership and BIPOC leadership, creating a welcoming community-focused space. Customers have enjoyed the oatmilk cortados, sunrise mocktails, and the "not for vampires" bagel, although some found it a bit greasy. The staff are described as very kind and helpful, enhancing the colorful and vibrant ambiance. The café also hosts great free programming, like a book club and knitting circle. Art and stickers are available for sale, adding to the creative atmosphere. For those interested in gluten-free treats or fancy syrups made from real fruit, options like the Peach Cobbler Matcha are available, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the day.
