What a cute Cafe! Delicious food, a kind atmosphere, and a picture of dinosaurs by the bathrooms, what more could you want?Definitely a spot worth checking out. The inside of Central Station Coffee & Tea is intimate and a wonderful destination to catch up with a friend.

I have loved place since it’s opening. Great coffee, great atmosphere and outstanding service. Katie and her team do a magnificent job of creating an amazing experience. The atmosphere emanates warmth and comfort. If you want excellent coffee and a “customer first” experience, this is the place to go.

Walking in, it was super loud in there and crowded. I always get a Matcha latte and my husband gets an iced coffee latte. A 12oz iced matcha with oat milk is $7 that comes with a bunch of ice. My husbands was another $8-$9 for mediocre coffee. He said it wasn't strong even with an extra shot of espresso. Not terrible drinks, they were both good but for them being so small and pricey, it was not worth $18 after a $2.50 tip. Not a lot of pastry options either. The workers were very nice and sweet, but not a recommendation overall.
Horrible customer service, just avoid this place. They were extremely rude.

This place is so cute and kitschy, with great coffee, friendly staff, and plenty of space to work. The wifi was decent for email and web browser use, though some applications (like Slack) may be slow to update on their network. I found I was able to do the former types of work on their internet on my laptop, and things like slack or videos I had better connectivity on my mobile apps on my cell network.

The cashier had to be one of the least friendly Lake Forest College student (she was wearing the school's t-shirt) ever encountered. Instead of making my cortado in a to-go cup, the barista made it in a glass and dumped it into a paper cup. Funny part of that is he went to the trouble of making the line in the foam just prior to dumping it.The coffee itself was weak and lacked any depth of flavor.
