Volunteer Park Cafe & Pantry is a small, cozy cafe with a wide variety of beverages and baked goods. The cafe offers a range of drinks, including phenomenal lattes, such as the almond rose latte and oat milk latte with peanut butter, which are not too sweet or artificially flavored. The pastries are "next level," including the recommended crumble cake and delicious carrot cake, and the atmosphere is bright and welcoming. The cafe also functions as a grocery store, selling local crafts and maintaining a cute neighborhood vibe.
Since reopening under new ownership, the cafe has become a popular spot, though the menu is small and can run out of food early in the day. Many visitors have enjoyed the lovely background music and the friendly, efficient counter staff, with reports of top-notch customer service. The interior is described as darling, making it a perfect location for those looking to relax with a coffee or pastry. However, there is limited seating inside, and some tables are occupied by people working on their laptops, which can be challenging for new paying customers. Despite this, the vibes remain good, and the cafe continues to attract visitors from the neighborhood and beyond, making it a favorite stop after a walk around Volunteer Park.
