Angela SkeesJuly 15, 2016Fairly informal cafe here. Order at the grill window in the back or get pastries from another counter or coffee from another. Had pretty good street tacos and super tasty Brussels sprouts
Junior EluhuSeptember 20, 2015mocha Choca latte is the good stuff. The fresh juice r all awesome too
Sally HugginsJune 3, 2018Enjoyed delicious burger. Great atmosphere. You can order from the grill in the back or pastries and coffee just inside the door.
- Consuela ShorterMarch 3, 2013So much for your eyes to take in. There are lots of little "rooms" so you feel like you're at home. And... It's a perfect cup every time. Better than Starbucks. I recommend the Dirty White Boy.
- Consuela ShorterFebruary 24, 2013Great coffee house feel. And I love the vintage toys on the bookshelves for decoration. I also liked that I didn't feel stupid being here alone.
Erik RowleyApril 17, 2013One of my favorite coffee joints of any city. Unique and artsy interior, great food, and excellent protein smoothies!
Stacy BraiucaJuly 13, 2013Come anytime, great coffee, but come when the Troubadour Retrievers play and it's extra killer!!!
Hannah EllenaApril 19, 2014Not the best place for breakfast from the grill, but perfect place to grab a iced latte and a baked treat from the bar before you stroll through the market.
Ryan ByeJune 22, 2013Stop by after the Farmers Market and they have some vases you can borrow to hold your flowers!
Marie D.April 11, 2012Classic Rock Coffee at Opera House is pretty sweet. The coffee is excellent, so is the flatbread pesto pizza from the paleo grill.- Ryan ByeJune 22, 2013The morning blend is delicious and light for your Saturday morning at City market!
Cindy Eidson ChamberlainJune 9, 2014Loved the paleo entree from the grill. Great taste, great menu and very helpful staff ❤️❤️❤️
Erin WoodJanuary 27, 2013Amazing atmosphere and great drinks. Local bands play on weekends and it's the perfect venue for them too
They have a great grilled cheese. Great place to get some work done.
KT GoshJune 22, 2013They have soy and almond milk! Try the almond milk iced with the Sister Hazelnut.
Ary MichelMarch 14, 2012Awesome place, coffee, shakes, smoothies, food, lounge area and great location!
Jenny L.April 2, 2015Barista seemed annoyed (eye roll) he had to make me the juice I ordered. It was good, though. Free WiFi.
Thomas PoindexterMay 1, 2015Pork tacos were ok , the sauce that went with was bland. But on the other end my wife love the veggie panini. I won't go back but she will.
