I'm not a regular coffee drinker but woke up craving coffee for some reason. I popped into Culture Cup and was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is very cute and the staff were really friendly. I ordered off the fall drinks menu and the Langston was really good! Will be back!

Today was my second visit to the Culture Cafe - first was last weekend (so good I wanted to go back!). I’ve been on the hunt for a great latte (local - not a major chain), and this did not disappoint. Last weekend we tried some food - avocado toast and a breakfast sandwich, and both were very good. Several small tables to dine in, with additional comfy seating options to sit back and relax. Great atmosphere, community focused, very welcoming environment! Look forward to my next visit 💙

I love ❤️ this place! Great people! Awesome atmosphere and AMAZING coffee!!! I moved out of state last year and made The Culture Cafe one of my stops when visiting the area this Labor day week. It's a must try and the food is wonderful as well! Love 💖 the owner too!

I stopped in for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The iced mocha with oat milk was excellent—made with a rich dark chocolate concentrate, smooth and not overly sweet. I also tried the turkey, egg & cheese croissant, pressed panini-style with chopped turkey sausage and plenty of melted cheese (I’d just ask for a little less cheese next time, but that’s a personal preference).

The space and owner were equally inviting and the space is thoughtfully designed, with both classic café seating and a cozy lounge area. I especially appreciated the historical and cultural photos and the book collection to browse—there’s a real sense of story and intention here. I look forward to coming back to explore more of the menu, vibe, and learn about the inspirations behind the décor. A unique and refreshing addition to the area!

FELT LIKE HOME!

From the layout of the space to the cozy chairs, to a wall of free books to read.. this space is something special! Very clean, the music was at the perfect volume, the staff were welcoming and professional! I order Ali’s Macha and a Turkey and Swiss Croissant — a great bite to start the day. I will be back to support. Also, they have community events there. Be sure to pop in and give this place a try.. you won’t regret it!

Anything less than 5 stars is a LIE! See photos for reference. ☕️🤎

This place is extremely comfortable and the staff is very friendly. If you’re looking for a good cup of coffee and a croissant this is the place. They have tables for two plus sofa and lounge chairs.

I ordered two Cortados (forgot to take pics), both were very good. I got one with whole milk and one with almond milk( I always wanted to try, but after tasting I don’t recommend). I definitely suggest staying with the whole milk. Very cool atmosphere and the owners were extremely nice and friendly. They wanted to listen to their customers and see if there was any drinks they could consider adding to the menu. I told them plain sparkling water to have with the cortado and they liked the idea and were going to look into getting some. Not many coffee shops where the owners are so welcoming, friendly and ears open. I recommend stopping in and getting a coffee of your choice, you won’t regret your experience.

Cortado ratings (I try to do with all places I visit):

(only because it didn’t come with a sidecar) but 3 bc it came in the right glass. Lots of places don’t know how to serve a proper cortado.
Coffee (was a simple heart, I forgot picture)

Super cute place! Very relaxing, cozy yet trendy. Coffee was delicious and reasonably priced. Would much rather support our local community vs chains. Will absolutely be back.

Great coffee, vibe, playlist, everything a coffee shop should be. I was there working but amazing to see people running into old friends, sitting down and taking time to chat. The owners have created a true place of community and connection.
