I adore the fact that Green Bay has a hippie, earthy, trendy scene. Although it may be small, it's mighty. And I fit in perfectly. Kavarna can only be described as the mecca of all trendy coffeehouses combined with a small deli and hippie-esque bistro. It's my kind of place. On a recent visit to Green Bay, I stopped not once but twice for some snacks and brunch. Everything was phenomenal. The food itself is vegan and vegetarian friendly, naturally. Although it was only 11am I was craving the Falafel Bake that I had eyed on the menu the day before. It was a plate of happiness. A baked falafel patty encompassed by fresh greens, hummus, tomatoes, and crispy baked herbed tortilla. I would get order this again, and again, and again. I added a cup of the Gypsy Vegetable soup and was beyond impressed. It had a slight kick and was packed full of veggies and legumes. What it didn't have was a ton of salt - well, at least it didn't taste like it which is a plus in my book. The bf went for a mushroom and onion strata. Kavarna added a healthy twist by using a mix of whole wheat and multi-grain breads. I had all I could do from inhaling his plate as well . As for the snacks, I was inclined to order one of each. Freshly baked cookies, bars, bagels, muffins and cupcakes (many with gluten free options)? It was hard to resist. We settled on a giant macaroon and cheese and cherry Danish. Both were incredible and probably the best I've had (for each!). Drinks were equally as delish. The selection of hot teas was vast, and whatever they put in the honey latte made it sweet - and addicting. Friendly staff. Laid back atmosphere. Healthy, delicious eats. Sweet treats. And phenomenal drinks. What more could anyone ask for.

I had a lovely lunch with a friend here. Great atmosphere and loved the food. Some highlights: the hummus was especially garlicy (yum!), and the vegan chocolate cupcake was to die for. Bottomless mug of coffee at a decent price. Being a newbie, I took my time at the carafes reading the descriptions and trying to decide which coffee I wanted. The barista, who already had his hands full with orders, noticed me and took a minute to give me recommendations. Nice!

Gluten-free goodies! Wraps and pecan bars and muffins oh my! The coffee drinks are excellent, and the basic coffee is mellow enough to drink without adulteration. Many options are vegan and it seems like everything on the cafe side of kavarna is vegetarian. They let a large post-industrial space work organically for them by not trying to torture a multi-level raw brick interior into anything but what it already is - sunlit, warm, and scattered with comfy chairs and tables. Given the chance to sprawl without worrying about disturbing a tight, fragile interior, people really are cats at heart. Given coffee and a cookie, they purr and stay all day.

I had the feta portabella wrap which was amazing. Quite hot, so you may want to let it cool a bit before you dive in. My husband had the Algerian Navigator which was a turkey sandwich with roasted red peppers. That was also great. Both came with kettle chips. I'm a fan.
(5)Bobb S.
The first time I felt I came here I felt like Dorothy clicking her heels and saying "There is no place like home". Living in Madison, we have our share of eclectic cafes that serve great coffee drinks and well as stellar food. I didn't think Green Bay was on Madison's level until I found Kavarna. Located on my favorite street in Green Bay (Broadway), Kavarna's hipness smacks you right when you enter the door. With high ceiling, exposed brick walls, little lights on each table, old board games in back, Kavarna delivers on all levels. Beyond great coffee and drinks (you have to check out the Batida-an amazing yogurt smoothie), Kavarna also turns out great food. Go there. Eat and drink mass quantities of goodness. Repeat.
(5)Emily W.
This place likes to talk the talk but do they walk the walk? Nope
(1)Cheryl M.
Was referred bt a local when I was in town for a meeting. I do eat meat and am being told by my trainer I need more protein for the Tough Mudder I am training for. Dessert case in the front had alot of really good looking foods. Menu had several options that looked appealing even to us non-vegetarians. I ordered the Cuban quesadila it was g9
(4)Matthew A.
People working the counter here are generally short and rude with me. I am assuming this is because I am overweight, don't wear skinny jeans, and have a neff hat hanging off my head so you can see my plugs brah. Also now that Parisis has been absorbed into Kavarnas menu the time it takes to get a sandwich is even more ridiculous. Ordered an Elena ruz yesterday and it took roughly 20 minutes, mind you I only saw one other order come out in that time, clearly not busy. Upon inquiring why it was taking so long the girl behind the counter informed me "it's gonna be a while they have to put that in the oven." Said without looking at me and in a very snide way. I guess I will stop buying your overpriced mini sandwiches and take my business to jimmy johns.
(2)Simon K.
I never thought I'd enjoy myself at a cafe that only had vegetarian options. But when I arrived, I was blessed to find out Parisi's delicatessen was connected to the cafe itself! I've been here multiple times and I've tried food from both sides. Everything is delicious. From veggie options like the falafel sandwich (gi-monstrous size but not dry, served with delicious hummus) and the gypsy vegetable soup (packed with veggies, strong "vegetable-soup" taste [people who've had a lot of vegetable soup should know what I mean]) to the meat-filled sandwiches like the BAT (delicious bacon, the "A" is for avocado, fresh veggies, served with amazing kettle-cooked chips), you can't go wrong here. With Alterra coffee, tons of space, free wi-fi and a friendly staff to boot, this is THE best cafe in Green Bay, bar none. The food will take a little while to come out, so it's not the ideal place to go if you're pressed for time during your lunch hour. Personal Recommendation: BAT or Turkey Club, side of soup
(4)Alyssa L.
Delicious and healthy and I can't wait to go back!
(5)Yunsun H.
For the last 6 months, Internet never works here. I used to love this place for working with my laptop computer and would enjoy a coffee and sandwich while working. Now they have even posted a sign saying Internet is not guaranteed. Coffee and food are fine but this place does not value the business of individuals who enjoy working at coffee shops and need an internet connection. Be warned of this should you go to work there. It is waste of time if you try to use internet.
(2)Kiara G.
Very nice coffee place in Green Bay. Love the interior and customer service. People are so friendly. Food is bit expensive but a lot of coffee flavors and choices to select from.
(4)Rebecca M.
Kavarna not only has a good menu selection from all the food to the warm espresso drinks, cold refreshing loose iced teas; as well as an awesome selection of pastries to satisfy that sweet tooth! But they also have a nice little set up for the kiddos(which is much appreciated). Service is always good as well! Can't get any better than that :)
(5)Maureen C.
I travel to Green Bay a few times a year and this is a must stop for their Mexican Mochas and buttery scones. Rosewater lemonade is different but yummy.
(4)Luke C.
They have really good coffee here. I tried one of their bars too and it was delicious. You'd never guess the food was vegan! There is a small patio out front with outdoor seating and a lot of space inside. I would like to stop in here for lunch sometime and try out the rest of their menu.
(4)Mallory H.
The coffee and baked items are delicious, however the staff's customer service needs improvement. I ordered an iced mocha and a cookie and paid $6.22. The girl taking the order didn't give me a receipt and must have hit the wrong button because the girl making the coffee said I was supposed to get a chai tea. I said that was incorrect. She returned 3 minutes later telling me they didn't have a ticket for another mocha and asked if I had paid for the coffee at the counter, to which I answered yes, but had no receipt to prove. A different girl returned, now a good 15 minutes after I ordered, and just handed me my drink and said nothing and walked away. My friends were already mostly done with their drinks and we all finished our pastries. Mistakes happen, but I felt as though the staff was giving me attitude. Not to mention the glares I caught from one or two of the girls as they threw away the chai tea. I don't plan on returning.
(2)James D.
Great space! Great coffee! giant scoop of an interesting cookie! Cute girls! Music not loud enough. Hope more businesses open on this stretch of Broadway.
(4)Alyssa P.
Everything is full of flavor! Always a good variety of healthy food with a wonderful dessert selection. I love the quarky urban atmosphere. A local gem.
(5)Alison S.
Let me preface my review with the statement that Kavarna is the best coffeeshop in Green Bay proper, and the space is a tasteful renovation of an old auto-body shop with great brick and high ceilings. The coffee is a mix of Alterra and Anodyne, and they also have local beer by the bottle. Throw in occasional live music shows, piles of baked goods and a by-donation yoga class, and you've got a community partner in addition to a local business and source of caffeine. The baked goods can be of uneven quality, however, and it drives me crazy that ordering a cappuccino can get you anything from a hard cap of oversteamed milk to something wetter than a latte. Sometimes I order a latte and hope I get a proper cappuccino, which is a strategy with limited, but significant, success. I'm not asking for pour-overs and clover machines, but consistency with espresso drinks would be a plus. The food is usually serviceable, but sister deli Parisi's shares the space and will deliver their beautiful meats and cheeses your table... Kavarna is good, but is this close to great.
(3)Jen S.
Ok, so this time was better than last time - friendlier staff, still delicious food and coffee drinks, fun little toddler play area, and lots of options to choose from. Glad we went here because we considered skipping it based on last time's experience.
(5)Leigh S.
This is my favorite place to eat in Green Bay! I love the vegetarian dishes - so far everything I've had has been wonderful. The Cuban Black Bean Quesadilla was delicious - my favorite item so far. I have also had the The Cilantro which is a vegan veggie pocket-like sandwich. This was very good, but with so many more things to try, I don't think I would get it again. They have a daily salad, which you can get a small dish; a nice item for those of us who don't eat a big lunch. I typically bring something small from home, so Kavarna is the best lunch option for me. My co workers can't leave without getting a Mexican Mocha - must be good. And the desserts. I won't even go there. If I even think about how good they are, I won't be productive at work all day.
(5)Jen W.
Quaint little coffee shop that has a deli open it's own hours on the other side. Most food is vegan or vegetarian friendly. It is a great place to go for a lite lunch and a coffee
(5)Rachael S.
This place is great! Most of my family lives in Green Bay, so I'm there a lot, but often have trouble finding vegetarian options at the restaurants I go to with them. Luckily my cousin informed me of this lovely restaurant, and it's where I go when I bring friends to Green Bay. Everything on the menu is good, particularly the tea selection. Yum!
(5)Tabatha R.
Wonderful food, even my "non-veggie" friends dont complain when I bring them here. Great place to get homework/reading done, (free wifi). Everything is fresh and for the most part homemade. I love it!
(5)Colleen T.
Vegan desserts, chill atmosphere, and nice Sandwiches and coffee. What more is there to say?
(4)Wandell P.
I know what you be thinking! Yous thinking...Wandell! How is it that you got enough money to be spending it on some coffee when you is laid off. I can't help it, you know. But I was blown away when walking in here on one snowy as heck Wisconsin night. The first thing I see is them ceilings. And you know Wandell ain't a liar, but these ceiling be high like you don't even know! Three Wandells couldn't even touch the top in one of them three tiered levels! You know a place with these ceilings is for real! So I looking at one of them menus...and you know what? No meat! Luckily I was only going there for the coffee, seeing how I'm broke from Christmas shopping and being laid off. And lord all mighty! Unlimited coffee for a few bucks? You try to get that at Starbucks and they be lookin at you like you all crazy! And this aint be no Maxwell house Folgers type of motor oil. No sir! Wandell may be poor, but he aint succumbing to them powdered sins. This be Alterra. A-L-T-E-R-R-A. That be down in M-Town for all yous who don't even. Decaf too! I tells you what, Wandell didn't sleep for DAYS after drinking all them mugs. Lord almighty! Them waitresses be nice as you never believe! I mean, they ask you how you be doing and all that. And it's just not to Wandell, but to everyone! Wandell thought he was special, but I love to share the love. Definitely don't see that down in Gary, where there aint even be no coffee like this. So here what Wandell says. You like coffee? Then this be the place. Broadway used to be way ghetto, but now its like a 5th Avenue so you don't need to worry about nothing. I tell you what, Green Bay a real nice place and Kavarna be in Green Bay so it be a real nice place!
(5)Eduard O.
I'll be honest, I'm not big on the whole vegetarian and vegan thing, so this isn't really my scene. But... I went with a friend who recommended the place for the coffee, and maybe the food isn't for me, but my cappucinno was fantastic! Nice and strong, just as I like it, not bitter. Apparently there is a deli next door so you can go there to get your protein fix if you're desperate!
(4)Adriana S.
This place had a nice vibe and the food was pretty good. I returned with my family again but the second time they gave me a cup of soup when I ordered a bowl and then when I got it it was cold. Otherwise everything else was great. I wouldn't say the staff was especially welcoming but they seemed nice enough. It isn't a place where they serve you, you order at the counter.
(4)Janelle S.
My drink was okay, my cowgirl bar was very good, but I hate how this place is always so busy. The staff is never personal here and I'm always rushed by them, and the good spots are always taken.
(3)Leslie R.
Came here all throughout high school, and now that I live in Chicago always make a point to stop by when I'm in town. Many a great conversation was had at the old location, and many a great Scrabble game was had at the new. They have an amazing vegan menu and amazing drinks - the Mexican mocha never ceases to amaze, and I love the loose leaf teas as well. For winter: do get the Aztec gold hot chocolate for a mouth orgasm, and for summer, the rosewater lemonade is absolutely to die for. SO. REFRESHING. And ask for Molly, she's the tops.
(5)Lisa I.
Warm oasis in the frozen tundra. Friendly staff and great coffee and food.
(5)Scott T.
Wow, what is it about this part of the region that has not one, but two *as good as it gets* coffee/espresso joints within a few miles of each other? Dropped by Kavarna killing some time away from the in-laws looking for a proper buzz away from the pot of Folger's (ugh!) at home. What a delight to run into coffee that's good enough--or in some cases, better than--what you can get in the East Village in NYC? Hipster vibe, cement floors, high ceiling with exposed beans and great service. You get it. Now get here. Might be a long time before I return as I'm not in this part of the country often, but I will return. This is the kind of place I can linger in for hours, and may today.
(5)Colin F.
I love, love, love Kavarna!! I like their coffee, their tea, and their food selection. I cannot say enough about their vegan peanut butter Rice Krispie bars or chocolate chunk cookies. I do wish they would carry loose leaf tea for sale since they sell tea pots for customers to use at home. However, that is a very minor point of contention and one that does not detract from the overall experience in my humble opinion.
(5)Kavi D.
Not going to lie, it was kind of weird to come across a vegan coffeehouse with a hippie west-coast vibe in Green Bay, Wisconsin. A pretty cool place nonetheless, if this kind of environment is your thing. I stopped here with some friends on the way upstate for some whitewater rafting. Overall we had a good experience and would recommend this place to chill out or grab a bite to eat. I had the cheese-artichoke sandwich, which was both cheesy and full of artichokes. Yes, it was quite tasty as well. I also ordered a side of sweet yam fries, which I found to not taste as great...they were somewhat undercooked/raw. Not sure if that was the desired effect, but I would have preferred some good ol' fries. Then again, probably my fault for expecting that at this type of restaurant. My main critique about this place is that the portion sizes are somewhat small for the price paid. Nevertheless, a solid place that is quite unique given its location. Check it out if you're into this type of scene.
(4)Billy D.
You would expect to find this very trendy place in Portland, not Green Bay! I loved it. We had the good from the cafe, and they nailed it. The olives and the cheese were delicious and the soups and the sandwiches were yummy too. I'm going to come every time I'm in GB.
(4)Michelle G.
I remember when Kavarna first opened and then I moved away but still come back when I can. Today I stopped for the original cheesy artichoke which was just like I remembered it to be. It was delicious! Of course I also had to get the chocolate chip cookie which has been around since they first opened as well. The lavender lemonade was a perfect touch with my lunch. I wish I lived closer to such a great place. I am happy to see how successful a small local cafe is doing. Job well done Linda!
(5)Lem C.
VIBE --college/ vegan coffeehouse in Green Bay? --hidden downtown amidst breweries & Packer pubs --what an eye-opening surprise! GYPSY VEGETABLE SOUP --not bland nor salty as in so many places --but organic-spicy broth enhances colorful vege chunks --soooo good--espec. next to huge picture window of old town street --just as Green Bay finally gets scattered snow flurries --AFTER Christmas --& AFTER the Packer-Bears game ARCHITECTURE --burnt-yellow & blue-glazed tiles adorn the facade --big clear picture windows preview the approachable counter --& butcher-block tables lining the front & the long brick side wall --naturally lighter & more raw & social than any Starbuck's I visit --this is the kinda place I want to own & operate
(5)Sara H.
I experienced this little cafe for lunch and was very impressed. It was a trendy quaint place with nice workers. I ordered the cold cut turkey sandwich (without mayo) which was a basic turkey cheddar lettuce tomato combo on fresh whole grain bread. (the bread was the best) It came with a side of kettle chips which were crunchy and had a nice hint of salt. For drink I had their rosewater lemonade which was different. It was regular lemonade with little scrunched up flower/spice pieces which was colorful but weird tasting-not your average lemonade. For dessert I had a hard time picking from the bakery section because there were a bazillion pastries! However I choose a mixed berry crumb bar which was delicious. The only downside of Kavarna was that it was really crowded so we were left sitting in a makeshift eating area that could have been somebody's basement (this was weird and different than the rest of the place). Overall it was pretty good
(4)E S.
One of the best vegetarian places I have ever eaten. Great menu with many interesting options for just about everyone's taste. I especially enjoyed the Mediterranean burrito which has lots of fresh veggies in an excellent wrap. The breakfast oatmeal is amazing (how often do you hear someone rave about the oatmeal!). They had an interesting form of oatmeal called a Joltnola that had a shot of espresso, but I was never brave enough to try it. Nice selection of gluten free baked goods, too.
(5)Pauline H.
everything is really good here! i came here every day i was in green bay. their lattes and baked goods are delicious. it really sucks that this place isn't closer to me.
(5)Ash S.
Always good, however after ten years of going here I wouldn't mind if they changed the menu up a bit, or had more lunch and dinner specials. The menu gets a little tired. Best coffee in GB, and usually very delicious treats!
(3)Dan C.
This place is fantastic. I cannot say enough about the food I have gotten here. I have eaten in and picked it up and every time I am surprised with the overall quality of the food and the great pairings of flavors they have. I'm not even close to a vegetarian, but I eat here at least once a week (I travel here for business and go out of my way each week to get it). I agree with the person who said you don't even miss the meat. The atmosphere is great, the soups are always interesting, and one time I caught an open mic night that had some really fun performances. All in all, a great place.
(5)Morgan M.
On a day trip, I was bumbling around Broadway trying to figure some things out and just sort of stumbled across Kavarna. The windows, the people, the coffee. Rather than duking a coffee fix out with the ever present McStarbucks, it's always a treat to find an actual coffee house where you can lose yourself for a few minutes or a few hours. Kavarna is just that and then some. When you walk in, the space is split, but everyone inside is friendly and will guide you if you look like a deer in headlights. (*looks the other way*) Ordering up was simple, payment easy. What threw me off...if you're ordering a redeye-or house brewed coffee you're given a cup. I'm sorry, what? A cup. So you can pour your own amount. I loved this, how many times have you gone into another coffee house where too much coffee or water was added? A time too many for this girl so I eagerly took the cup and poured a mild blend in with the shot of espresso. Thank-and-You. For the rest of the establishment: it's quaint and cute. Comfortable and quirky. If you're feeling ravenous, there's sweeties as well as actual food for substance. The wooden tables make it a perfect resting spot for your laptop or notebook. Whatever works. There's a plethora of seating and the exposed brick on the wall make you feel like you're setting up shop getting actual 'work' done. Pricewise, it's comprable to other coffee houses. Expect to pay a spot more than Starbucks-but it's definitely worth it. You're paying for service, coffee that isn't bitter and a place to hang out for a bit in. Definitely a gem for the area and a go to spot for something very ordinary and yet still extraordinary.
(5)Alison K.
The ambiance is nice. Cute and cozy. I just moved back from Portland, it it kind of reminded me of something I would find there. The coffee was awful. I haven't yet had good experience with Alterra coffee. They also serve it at UWGB and it has little to no flavor.
(2)Elizabeth E.
My husband and I stopped by Kavarna entirely on the basis of Yelp reviews. We had spent the night camping in Oconto, and were in need of real coffee after our campsite coffee failed us. Seriously, it was a sad scene. We found exactly what we were looking for at Kavarna: an iced coffee for me on an insanely hot day, and a wet, traditional cappuccino for my husband. Not a 20 ounce Starbucks monstrosity. Not a 16 oz schooner of milk and bad foam. Just a nice 8 oz cappuccino with good foam, the sort that sticks to one's mustache - that is, if one happens to have a mustache. I really wish I'd been hungry, as the treats and sandwich menu were beyond tempting. Instead, we got our caffeine and internet fix in the airy lower level, then hit the road again. If I ever find myself back in Green Bay, I'll definitely put in a few hours (and calories) at Kavarna.
(4)Ellen R.
Wonderful urban atmosphere, great food and a beautiful array of coffees and teas. I probably have visited Kavarna more than any restaurant in town - you can go for a quiet hour of work, a social cup of tea, or a meeting. Loveit!
(5)Michelle S.
Great coffee, great service! We loved this place. The mini carrot cake was the perfect sweet treat.
(5)Alan R.
This is your ultimate local coffeehouse. Great downtown style. The coffee and the crowd are solid. I had one snack that was just ok but the place is still cool.
(5)Mark D.
Kavarna is one of our favorite places to stop at when in Green Bay. On each of our visits the food and prepared drinks have been uniformly excellent, and the service has been fast and friendly. The building is nice, too: It's simply an inviting, comfortable place to hang out. I wish we had a place like Kavarna convenient to us in Minneapolis. (We have places nearby that fill one or two of the food / service / ambience trio, but not all three.) Regarding the food and drinks, the Mexican hot chocolate, the black bean burger and vegetable soup stand out. The mac and cheese is there as a good kid's option (and for adults, too), but beware that it has ground pepper on it, which may be a bit much for young tastes. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Green Bay.
(5)Pamela Jane B.
Busy little place! And the hospitality was great! We sat outside and the guy brought us our coffee and food with a smile! Patrons were nice too! Good vibes at this place! I go there everytime I am home!
(4)John Z.
I found this place on Yelp while visiting. It has a cool coffeehouse vibe with a tasty selection of sweets, a serious espresso machine, and very friendly staff. If you want the McDonalds of coffee, go to Starbucks. If you want to go to a real coffeehouse in Green Bay, go here.
(4)Kyle W.
I'm from Green Bay, and even though I don't live there any more Kavarna is easily one of my favorite coffeehouses. I go there at least once every time I'm in town. The employees are great, the food is great, and best of all, they actually know how to make a great latte! (I could live off lattes like these, and probably do. The coffee I'm drinking right now just sighed with envy.) Plus, their new space is very nice. It's large, yet remains cozy and intimate. When full of employees, friends, family, and of course customers, it feels very welcoming. I give them credit for all they've done so far. Kavarna is so good that it single-handedly gives me hope for a revitalized downtown district in GB. Everybody take note!
(5)Enrique R.
The food was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing, and the vibe was amazing. What a great spot!
(5)Judy M.
Love this place. Good real city atmosphere and coffee
(5)TW S.
It's a nice spot for a coffee and a quick bite along the Broadway block near the bridge that takes you to the Meyer Theater. So, whether you walk or drive it's a pleasant outing and conveniently located. The food is very good and there are items available for the gluten intolerant and the vegetarian. Some of it is different but if you ask the right questions then you will get ready answers. The method of ordering and the process of where to line up and how to obtain your food is not apparent to the newcomer. Again, ask and you shall receive the answers but it is unfortunate that a little signage is not added. The one disappointment is that we were visiting the area on a Sunday morning and would have liked to get a couple of things from the deli but it was closed. The other is that the style of occupancy is very loose so people will tend to linger with their reading material, laptops and mobile devices thereby taking table space from those who are trying to find a place to land. There was one table available on the upper level when we were there so we were not circling trying to find a spot. Good thing because the lower level had a group of 8 students working on a project who were not going any place. Don't know how the owners permit this because there was one cup of coffee among them and they were distracting to anyone nearby who may wanted to have a casual pleasant conversation. In other words, if you're a newcomer there as we were, prepare to be very flexible and ready to roll with the punches as you learn the ways of this business.
(4)Jennifer V.
While I always find the service severely lacking here, it's near where I work, so I seem to end up there a lot. The food is good, especially the artichoke wrap and sweet potato fries. The lavender/rosewater lemonade is delish, and different. I can't get enough of it. They also have great hummus. I would just like to see more timely service, and some more smiles.
(3)Matt V.
Kavarna is great! I actually worked on the floor before they moved in so I became kind of attached to the building. The food is good, like really good. I would eat here all the time. I love the Southwestern Wrap. Go read the other reviews they all sing the same praises.
(4)Megan D.
I love, love, love Kavarna! In a town full of bars, restaurants, and, well, more bars, it is my number one go-to eatery/hang out place when I'm back home in Green Bay. Their desserts are top-notch as are the majority of the coffee drinks they have on the menu. The fact that it is a vegetarian cafe is just icing on the cake (though, as other reviewers have pointed out, it is directly connected with Parisi's which caters to the omnivore/carnivore crowd). My favorite menu items include the Mediterranean Burrito (their hummus is addictive and also for sale to customers) and the blueberry batido. Aside from the food, the atmosphere is also awesome...the exposed brick walls, artwork, and chairs/tables/couches tucked into various nook and crannies of the building all help create a warm, inviting place to sit and catch up with friends, a good book, or just a really good cup of coffee. My only pet peeve about Kavarna is its hours of operation...this is definitely not a late-night hang out and extended hours would be very welcome!

Great food and coffee, what more could you look for

Working across the street from this place has its downfalls(like going there weekly and making you wallet shrink), but man o' man is it good. The Mexican Hot Chocolate is AMAZING. And the Feta Portabella Wrap is great.The baked goods are great, and if you are VERY LUCKY, they might even have tiramisu in the bakery case. I highly recommend it. The staff is always friendly, and treat you like you are a regular even if you are visiting for the first time. If you go later in the day, they might even have live entertainment.

This place was awesome. Service was friendly and the mediterranean pita thing I ate was fresh, well put together, and all-around kick-ass. The espresso was full-bodied and good. Wish this place was by me.

First off, I'm biased on this one, for the record. However, I would like to give the objective reasons why this place is awesome and deserving of my 5-star rating. 1. Chocolate chunk cookies These things are like delicious hunks of chocolate held loosely together with bits of buttery dough. To die for, and then to be resurrected for, and then die again for. 2. Rosewater lemonade Quite possibly the best tasting lemonade I have ever tasted in my near 34 years of life. 3. Atmosphere, attitude, ambiance If there was a Kavarna in Chicago, I would practically live there and end up forking over a significant percentage of my income to just be there: eating, sipping coffee, sipping lemonade, mooching wifi, chatting with friends... The atmosphere is relaxing and homey without being sleepy or dumpy (which is where most "homey" coffeeshops end up). On top of that, the food is great (i've only tried 3 different sandwiches, all tasty) and there's a friendliness and attention to detail in every aspect of the restaurant that is admirable. My wife was raving about the lattes she ordered, but I didn't try the coffee at all so i'll have to skip that one in this review for now. Will always stop when i'm in Green Bay.

I use to live in NE Wisconsin and would go to Kavarna each time I was in Green Bay. Wisconsin isn't known for great food and over the few years that I lived there I was almost always disappointed by the local cuisine............until I stumbled upon Kavarna. Being a vegetarian in the land of boiled meats (WI) is a hard thing to be! Kavarna is the #1 place to eat at in NE Wisconsin. So happy a vegan/vegetarian place exists there. Makes going out a lot more convenient. Not to mention the food is A M A Z I N G! the squirrel's burger, the grilled portabella cap, and the black bean burger are just fanstastic. Also good is the rabbit! Haven't had a bad meal there ever, and each time I go back to Green Bay I will always go to Kavarna... for the price and the quality, it cannot be beat.
(5)Polka D.
I love this place! I am so happy that Green Bay has a coffee shop like this. I do agree with other reviews that say, it's your typical coffee shop. I don't know where they go but this is a very unique place with affordable and amazing food, whether you eat meat or animal products or not. I come all the way from Boston to eat their vegan peanut butter rice crispy treats. I usually buy about 10 or so to bring back with me and I don't share them :) Every time I come back to GB I make it a point to stop here and eat. I love their sandwiches, their soups, and their teas! Everything is just lovely-so please keep it that way.
(5)pete t.
Good food and a laid back enviroment. Just your typical coffee house. Free wifi
(3)Josh G.
Good coffee. Haven't tried any bakery items that I've enjoyed.
(4)Bryan V.
A place that serves Alterra coffee in GB and has great food? Hmm..No brainer here. Great, chill, trendy place for a bite and cup of coffee. Good find.
(4)Sun K.
Must say I was heavily disappointed to see this establishment has gone down hill since I first visited it so many years ago. They didn't carry many of the products listed on the menu. The falafel 'bake' was fried, premade, dry, and underseasoned. Will not be going back.
(2)Angie K.
I just realized that I've never written a review for Kavarna. What an oversight. Kavarna is the best vegetarian eatery in Green Bay. It is definitely the place I send anyone visiting the area and looking for non-meat fare. Some of my fav dishes include the felafel (which they always seem to run out of too soon), the cheesy artichoke wrap, and the portobello wrap. For hot drinks, I recommend the Yerba Matte or a latte.
(5)Andy A.
Been going there for years, and the new building makes it better than ever! Get the avocado cheese wrap. Mmmm!
(5)Wendy B.
I think it wasn't until I had been to Kavarna three times before it even dawned on me that the entire menu was vegetarian. You just don't miss the meat because their menu is so diverse and amazingly fresh. Kavarna is definitely one of Green Bay's independent gems and whenever guests from out of town visit, I always direct them here. The wifi is fast and free and the window seats offer a great burst of sunlight during the months when Wisconsinites are a little low on the Vitamin D. The music is good and the owners are big supporters of local musicians, hosting live music events regularly. I'm addicted to the rosewater lemonade and carmelitas, but the best thing? They have a small selection of fair trade gourmet chocolates. Bernstein's and Seroogy's are delightful, but for the frustrated refined palate suffering from lack of stimulation, it's refreshing to be able to find Vosges in sleepy little Green Bay. Anyway, head to Kavarna for an afternoon with your laptop. You'll eat, drink and be merry, but most importantly, refill a little bit of your soul as well.
(5)Jeff S.
Great coffee shop that reminds me of Seattle. Great atmosphere, food and most importantly- coffee. We stumbled on this place while in town for a game and decided to stop in on our way out of town. The blueberry stuffed French toast was excellent. The egg wraps were also excellent. Lots of space but never looks empty. Staff is very nice and free wifi to boot. Would love to find more places like thus in Seattle!
(5)Nicole B.
Kavarna is definitely experiencing growing pains in their new location. Sandwiches on the Kavarna side are not up to their previous standards. The new sister restaurant is also very pricey for Green Bay. An $8 turkey sandwich with barely any meat, and a scraggly pickle along side is tough to justify. At least throw in some chips like the other 1/2 of the restaurant. Out of the four that ate at the "meat side," all of them left hungry after spending $11 for a sandwich (no sides) and soda.
(2)Elizabeth W.
Great little classic coffee bar in downtown GB. If you're a fan of this sort of artsy fartsy coffee shit, and I AM, then you'll enjoy this spot. The cinnamon mocha latte frappe focha woahkah-cinno was fanfreakintastic. I only went here once, too. Around my birthday a year or so ago. Art is all over the walls, ready to buy. It's interesting as ever! So all you geek freaks that love coffee, WATCHYA WHATCHYA waitin' for?!
(4)Matt M.
Ooooooooooooo, Green Bay has a really good veggie friendly place. Who woulda guessed?
(5)Senthil R.
I am a pure non veg. This is one of the best vegan food. Great location and ambiance. Do try!
(5)elliot c.
Great specialty of KaVarna's: the Southwestern Wrap. Awesome coffee. Great downtown location. Even the tunes they play set the perfect atmosphere for meetings or just hanging with your friends.
(5)Kate M.
Still thinking about The Cilantro over a week later.
(5)Claire G.
I absolutely love this place! The building is amazing with tons of character and space. As for food, try the Mediterranean Burrito, the Feta Portabella, or the cheese pita with the soup o' the day. They serve Alterra coffee here and also have some excellent baristas so go for a latte. And don't skip dessert!!
(5)Jon H.
good place to get coffee and a quick breakfast in the morning
(5)Anessa B.
I enjoy the atmosphere at Kavarna. It is very laid back and the staff is friendly. I had fabulous raspberry cream cheese french toast here! Wish it was a regular menu item! The cookies are delicious. Great location.
(5)Troy T.
I've been going to Kavarna from the very first month they opened. I used to live in GB and enjoyed the vegetarian friendly menu and the great coffee. After changing coffee roasters several times I think they have it squared away now. The food has always been great, the atmosphere is excellent, and the staff friendly. Nearly everytime I return to Green Bay, I make the trip downtown. This place provided "comfort" when I had first moved away from home, now it serves as a great place to go for memories and, well coffee and food! For years this was the only true coffee house in the whole North East Wisconsin that really knew how to prepare espresso drinks consistantly. They never waivered when I asked for a dry cappuccino!
(4)Omar S.
This is the sort of urban coffee shop you wish was in your town. The coffee, tea and pastries are good, and there's a substantial selection (especially of unusual teas). There's a sizable menu of casual fare (sandwiches, breakfast, etc), which skews heavily vegetarian, but with a few additional options for the omnivores. There's a selection of "fancy" (cold case) pastries as well as casual cookies/bars/etc. The house coffee is "bottomless" if you're having it "in". A simple lemon/rosewater panna cotta was quite tasty (served in its own glass) and half the price this dessert would be most places. Their version of a BLT Is the BAT, which adds avocado and turkey. The smashed avocado largely replaces mayo, and will leave you wondering why you didn't think of this variation. There's a few seats up front, more along the side and back, and then a larger sit-down section on a lower level further back. The hip, attractive staff are friendly (!! a shock if you're used to big city cafes). There's wifi (of course). An eclectic boutique is adjoining. There's street parking available Great place, if you like coffeeshops or the cafe vibe, this place will make you happy.
(5)Meng Q.
I don't mean to destroy your reputation but this is the truth. Hey, I like the ambiance and food and coffee here. BUT, please please do something with the flies. Oh god, I was enjoying my Sunday afternoon and then these flies were flying around me all the time, this is a place that people eat food! I am always a nice person but those little bugs were driving me crazy, I had to protect my coffee and food so they don't destroy them... Get one of your baristas down to fix this please. UPDATE: As I was enjoying the blueberry bread, a part of it tasted bitter, seems like they used some bad blueberries in it or something.
(2)Roshani M.
A very cute coffee shop in downtown with delicious offerings. The pastries looked absolutely divine and I am still thinking of them, but I opted for the savory option of huevos rancheros wrap under the suggestion of the barista along with a chai charger. The chai charger with almond milk took a bit longer than expected and didn't necessarily "Wow" me. It had a great spice to it and was not overly sweet, if that's your thing. The wrap came out divided in two- perfect for sharing and with a side of ripe grapes. If you pop in for a quick bite, I definitely recommend the huevos rancheros wrap. It was full of flavor, a bit of spice, just enough cheese and wrapped up in a delicious, crispy wrap. The atmosphere was like a typical hometown coffee shop, and we could immediately tell this was a local favorite by all the full tables. Do yourself a favor and try out some of their delicious offerings.
(4)Kelsey B.
So the portobello feta and cheesy artichoke wraps were awesome. Nicely wrapped up and pressed. The squirrel sandwich wasn't as awesome as hoped. The walnut burger eaten in Milwaukee was far superior. Neat little hipster place though. Not sure why there was confetti on top the lemonade. Oh and the yam fries were good. I thought they'd be better after reading other reviews, but they were still good. Nicely seasoned.
(4)Peter N.
Not a bad place to grab some vegan food. The food is okay, not as good as most places but pretty good for the area.
(3)Brian S.
Nice little coffee house in Green Bay. They have LOTS (and I do mean A TON) of space to study, fast free wifi, and nice baristas. The coffee was good but not amazing. The pastries were ok as well.
(4)chett f.
To the manager(s): Here's the deal - I'm fine with tipping your counter staff. Even when they specifically request a tip by unabashedly pointing out their "tipping system" (tapping on a preselected percentage on the touch screen) after swiping my credit card on their iPad register. What I'm not fine with is paying (i.e. "tipping") for service and then not getting it. Like, for example, receiving my waffles but then having to get up and procure my own silverware and paper napkin from the counter across the room. Or pouring cold (as in straight out of the fridge) syrup on my warm French toast. Come on now, you serve refrigerated syrup? Really? At least serve it at room temperature. Even IHop won't serve it cold. All of which, I admit, are minor inconveniences. But when your counter staff feel entitled enough to actually *request* a tip and then can't be bothered to slap a fork on my table or warm up the syrup, I have to ask: what am I paying them that extra 20% for? To make the coffee and cook the toast? Really? I thought that's what you paid them for. Or do you? The toast was good, btw, and the mocha was nice and hot. PS: Your cafe has a fly problem. PPS: I like your music selection.
(2)Georgina S.
I've gone to Kavarna for 15 years. I loved it but I went there recently and my favorite sandwich was off the menu. It was the portobello cap sandwich with Kavarna's homemade barbecue sauce. It was delicious but now it's gone and I'm all butt hurt about it so I probably won't be back. I don't know why they would take one of their most popular items off the menu. I don't take kindly to change.
(2)Elaine M.
Stopped here while on a road trip with friends and we all fell in love with the hipster like atmosphere and the wonderful menu. Love that they have free wi-fi and I was able to skype with my daughter while we were having lunch. The organic coffee that they serve is terrific, as is the rosewater lemonade. We tried the nutty spinach salad, the Mediterranean burrito and the handcut yam fries. All were great! I particularly enjoyed the hummus and veggies in the burrito. We all wished that we had one of these places in our own hometown!
(5)Ashford K.
Nice atmosphere, interesting food options. I'd like to go back for one of their concerts sometime...
(5)Ani G.
All workers were super nice and helpful. They were accommodating in that they made my friend a fresh glass of black tea and then iced it since the only pre-made iced tea was slightly sweetened and she likes it black. I had the bean burger with avocado that was delicious. The cafe is cute, the food is good, the ambiance is great! I wish we had this in Connecticut!
(5)Kristy B.
Good coffee spot. My mushroom spinach wrap was ok, good fresh produce but I prefer more creativity in flavors. My friends liked their smoothies but I didn't try them.
(4)Maggie I.
I have been a Kavarna customer since I was younger and it was in the prior location. I always come back here when I come home. It's easily one of the best establishments in Green Bay. Since this is a coffee shop, let's start with the drinks. They serve Anodyne coffee! They have a wide selection of teas and their smoothies are flavorful. I haven't really ventured into coffee-related drinks or kombucha, but everything else is fantastic. If they're offering it, get yourself some rose water lemonade. Moving on to bakery items: all are great. I've never had anything less than amazing from the bakery. The fresh baked cookies are easily a standout item for me. It you happen to be there when they have chocolate sriracha cookies, STOCK UP. The food is your standard cafe food, but it's good. It doesn't fall flat, as is very easy to do with coffee shop sandwiches and the like. The mac 'n' cheese is a solid choice. The hummus is great and I don't even like hummus. My recs for sandwiches are the grilled veggie pita, the Rabbit, the southwestern wrap, and the cold cut turkey. Additionally, my mom always gets the cheesy artichoke wrap so it's gotta be good. The only thing I don't really like is the gypsy vegetable soup, which everyone else tends to rave about. Different people have different tastes. The space itself is easily the most hipster thing in Titletown, but in a good way. The space is very open and bright, with two levels of seating. It's a very relaxing space and I don't mind chillin' out there for a few hours. The service is pretty good too. Writing this review makes me wish I was writing it IN Kavarna. Love love love this place!
(5)Dan M.
Quirky little place in the main drag of green bay. Ordered hot coffee and cashier handed me a cup and looked at me funny until I asked where to get the coffee from. The "hot" coffee is stored in thermos's and seemed to have been sitting for a while. Of the three options, two were darker roasts and one was a light roast. As someone who prefers a lighter roast I was pretty disappointed since I want nothing to do with a decaf cup of coffee. When I finally poured my cup, dressed it, and sat down with my party, the coffee was rather cool and unsatisfying. I really wanted to have a good experience here, but I left with the feeling that if I really wanted to get a good cup of coffee, I'm better off going to a dunkin donuts or a starbucks.
(2)Nathan G.
Very nice café. Great staff, perfect almond lattes, and awesome aesthetics. Never had something here that I didn't like. It's a little hipster, but not in an annoying way (looking at you Portland, and South Pasadena haha) Highly recommend.
(5)Marissa M.
A staple when I'm in my hometown visiting my folks, it's simply the best, most hipster, chic, delicious coffee, everything-I-look-for-in-a-coffee-shop place in town. They use local food sources for some of their foods, offer vegetarian and gluten free options, make a consistently wonderful chai late, a potential mini high school reunion, offer card and board games for adults, and provide a game area for children. Honestly, what more could you want? I want nothing else but an afternoon or evening here when I'm home.
(5)Bethany F.
I wish they served their hummus with a ladle on the side - it makes you want to lose all dignity.
(5)Susi I.
They ran out of ingredients; service poor; waited for mediocre meal...just not what I expected from a highly reviewed place...
(2)Elizabeth C.
Stopped by here while traveling. Tons of yummy vegetarian options and friendly staff. I didn't get any coffee, but the Earl Grey tea latte was delicious!
(5)Ela B.
This is one of my favorite places to go to in Green Bay. The food and coffee here are delicious!!! They have the best hummus, and we love the black bean burgers. Our go-to drinks are their fruit batidos, coffee, and Mexican Mocha. Great environment and nice staff!
(5)Larry C.
Makes me wish to be back in college. This place would be great to hang out and study or meet friends for a good meal. Perfect way to wrap up a day at Bay Beach. Yummy good and great coffee!!! Would have earned more stars but the impersonal waitress that delivered our food failed to tell us were to get our silverware ... and forgot my soup. Hmmm
(3)Emily K.
I am a fan of chai latte's and they make the best one in Green Bay. That is saying a lot. They also have a really great food selection if you are looking for a good lunch. I would recommend:(BLACK BEAN BURGER,EGG SALAD and ANY OF THE SOUPS)
(5)Ali W.
Loved the atmosphere. But sat outside and the traffic was loud. Had a hard time picking what to eat because everything on the menu sounded delicious. Ended up getting the cheesy artichoke wrap. It was amazing.
(5)Ben B.
The coffee was pretty good but only lukewarm. The Bridgetender sandwich was good, you can't go wrong with Nueske's bacon and pumpernickel rye. The cookie was overpriced and not that great.
(3)Erica J.
Three words: KOMBUCHA ON TAP. Okay, two more: ANODYNE COFFEE. Drink selections aside, their food was fantastic. I would eat here all the time if I lived in Green Bay. Tons of vegan/vegetarian/gluten free selections and everything I tasted was super good. Prompt, friendly service and the space is just so cool. Head down to the back where the stairs go down a couple of levels.
(5)Herbert K.
Love this place, They have great Teas and coffee, wonderful bakery and unique and tasty meals all in a cool atmosphere
(5)Jamie L.
Great selection of unique sandwiches, soups and more. Also many coffee and tea selections. Very large portions! And you will want to eat it all. Also excellent atmosphere. Only downside was that it was a bit slow for lunch fare.
(4)Eric H.
Pretty darn good. Interior is very cool, service is great, pastries are awesome, coffee was a solid 4. Coming from Chicago, I would definitely come back here.
(4)Maggie V.
Kavarna is the best. The artichoke hot wrap is gooey and delicious. The oatmeal is the best I've ever had and their assortment of fresh side salads and bakery greet you in their front case when you walk in. Coffee drinks are great, too, of course. A must stop if you're in Green Bay.
(5)Jamie P.
Very classic coffee shop. Very comfortable and smells awesome. Ample seating and a full kitchen. Perfect for a cup of coffee, breakfast or lunch. Outdoor seating as well. Only $2.50 for a bottomless cup of coffee - you can sit there for hours!
(4)Kinsey W.
Great atmosphere, wanted to linger, but just stopping through for a coffee. My mocha was watery, but I'd still go back to try out again.
(3)Steve W.
Not much time for a review but this place was great. Great local espresso. Great people. Great ambience. Www didn't eat but there was a nice selection of foods. They also sell beans to go. If i didn't pick up others recently, i would have grabbed a bag. I definitely recommend this for anyone interested in good coffee from a local place.
(5)Kristine R.
Okay it takes a lot for me to dish out the whole 5/5 but I was very impressed and delighted by this little place. Before we get to the food I want to note that the atmosphere and ambiance is very arsty and fun. Little tables with mix-matched chairs are everywhere, with terrariums as the center-pieces. You can sit in the front or towards the back, but it's all just one strip of places to sit so it's very intimate and would be a great place for a date! The first thing that impressed me was the selection, variety, and creative assortment of options on the menu. There were wraps, sandwiches, black bean burgers, ect on everything from herbed tortillas to pretzel buns. This restaurant is very vegetarian amd vegan friendly. The service was soso, but you can't expect a lot where you order at the counter. It was average for the layout of the restaurant. I had the portobello and spinach hot wrap with feta. It was fresh, piping hot, and beyond delicious. My husband had the hot ham and swiss, equally so. I tried it and the ham was full of flavor, and the taste from the swiss and pretzel bun was perfectly balanced. What sealed the deal for 5/5 was the fast, free wifi and the shops commitment to ethically sourced ingredients and the environment. Very cool. We will be back!
(5)Pj V.
Awesome place to get work done in the morning before my afternoon work meeting. They have free wifi which is always a plus. I give the coffee a 4 and the food and snacks a 5. The place smells like baked goods and breakfast. It's bright and there were quite a few people there but it wasn't hard to find a quiet spot to work. I'll definitely come back when I'm in Green Bay again. May I add that this is not a 5 star dining, full service restaurant. Folks have posted that the servers are 'rude' but this is not the type of place where you are waited on and fed with a golden spoon. It is a coffee house. Go to the counter and order.
(5)Martin W.
Love this place. Lived in downtown Chicago for 22 years enjoying various unique coffee houses and this place reminds me of a lot of those places. Great place to relax.
(5)Sarah G.
Hello breakfast cookie. Of course also I felt compelled to try all three of the brewed coffees available on the day we visited (and would have tried the decaf too if I'd had more time to kill). The bottomless coffee mug deal probably could lead a person to spend a whole afternoon here, reading, sipping coffee, noshing on various vegan and gluten-free foods. Coffee was strong and plenty bold, just how I like it. Somehow I was able to slug down two cups and take my third to go in about 40 minutes. Walk towards the back of what looks like a small coffeehouse and check out the giant lower level area, for live music and events. No lack of seating here. Great relaxed vibe and crowd. Oh and the food? Usually I like a little more protein in my options (and wasn't aware of the Parisi's connection... though now that I think of it there were a bunch of people mingling to the left of the entrance). Anyway, we were very satisfied with the grilled Artichoke Pizza and Gypsy Vegetable Soup (which also came with a nice hunk of grilled bread)... I made a mental note to grill as much bread as I could from this point forward until I can return. And the breakfast cookie was genius!
(5)Deshpreet K.
I went to check out the place and have some coffee... Feel it's over-rated. Not sure if I will go back.
(3)Charmed Life S.
I come to Green Bay on business and usually drive up the day before on Sunday. I learned the hard way from pasts trips here that you can be hard pressed on a Sunday evening to find any place good to eat. So I did a little research before I left home and gave this place a try. And I am so glad I did. Kavarna has a totally hip and urban vibe to it, you feel like you are in an establishment in Chicago or on the east side of Milwaukee instead of Green Bay. I started out with the soup of the day, I don't recall the actual name of it other than the fact that it was described as an African soup. I have to say that it was quite tasty and I have been to African restaurants before and this soup was right on point. But the BESTEST thing of my visit here was the Grilled Portabella Cap Sandwich. OMG! Yeah, yeah, yeah I know that "BEST EST" is not a word, but this sandwich was sooooooooooo good that it has me creating new words to describe it. So moist and so delicious and with some sort of sauce that was just out of this world. I was so glad that I came here. I really don't have any thing negative to say about this place and the following is a little bit "my bad". I got to the restaurant at about 5:30 and they closed at 6pm. I was seated and in the middle of my soup I was told that I would have to take the remainder of my meal to go. I understand that they are working and they want to go home, but I really wish that would have been voiced to me at the beginning of my order and I could have had the entire order to go. Also on this day someone had the lower part of the restaurant reserved for some sort of party, so I guess I don't see what the big deal would have been for me to stay there and finish my food. But again this is also some what my bad for not getting there earlier. One last thing, as I stated earlier I was here on business and I have to keep track of all receipts for expenses. I had totally forgotten to get my receipt for this purchase. I called Kavarna about this days later and someone there took the time to go back into their system and MAIL me my receipt. To me that demonstrated excellent customer service. I will definitely come here again.
(5)Katie A.
Kavarna has a great vibe, really unique and awesome. It's vegetarian but they're connected to the deli nextdoor so you can order dem meats if you prefer (I sure did...I'm a New Orleans girl after all). I had the BAT, bacon avocado and turkey, and it was delicious! It came with what seemed like homemade potato chips which were crisp and tasty. I also had a sip of the rose tea (I think?) that my friend ordered and it was...interesting, I guess. Not exactly my cup of tea, hardy har har, but a nice concept. I would recommend this place to someone looking for non-traditional food wares in Green Bay, and if I'm ever in town again I'll come back for more.
(4)Margaret L.
Ordered the Kavarna House Blend coffee and the Huevos Rancheros breakfast wrap. The coffee was so delicious that I exclaimed with delight- something I never do. The breakfast wrap was flavourful and came out piping, steaming hot. If I wasn't watching my waistline, I would have ordered from the baked good selection. Everything looked amazing, fresh and premium quality. I will definitely return next time I'm in town. It's always a struggle to find food that is both delicious and healthy when on the road and this cafe meets the criteria.
(5)Jeffrey V.
After a long day of air travel I didn't think anything could turn my exhausted, beat down, sour attitude around. Based solely on yelp reviews I made one more journey after I checked into my hotel. So glad I did. This place is perfect in every way. Absolutely the best cappuccino I've had outside Europe. Did I mention it was decaf? Get in touch with your inner hippy and come down here. Even an uptight conservative like me can appreciate the vibe. Clean spacious and comfortable seating.
(5)Rich T.
U should like, go here and eat their food and drink their coffee. I bet if u like, did that and stuff, u'd have a really good time with it. They all have these like places to sit and it's all ambient for u and ur GF/BFF.
