Check this place out. $1 drip coffee and homemade croissants, WiFi, and overall a good selection of coffee and food. Sometimes they have live music.

Great food and excellent service at this cute hole-in-the-wall cafe inside the Armory. Diverse breakfast, brunch, and lunch menu with very reasonable prices, tons of seating, great art displayed all around the dining area, and a cool stage for live music.

I am sure as an artist space this place is great; however if you are going to sell coffee you really need to take the time to train your barista. Everyone was friendly but the cappuccino was so bad we had to find a place to throw in the trash. Terrible shame.

Wish I didn't have to write this but here we are.. I ordered a rooted salad, took 20 minutes to put a small bowl of spinach with pecans together and toast a slice of bread. $5 worth of food (being generous here) costs about $13. This is on top of rude attitudes of the ladies working behind the counter. You're better off staying hungry than wasting your time and money at this dump.

Came in for the flea market and stopped at the cafe on our way out. We ordered two bacon egg and cheese biscuits, and were told that it would be 10 minutes because the biscuits were baking. Ok no problem, we popped back into the flea market while we waited. We came back after a few minutes and sat down at one of the tables to wait. After 30 minutes with no food, I went up to the front and the person behind the counter said they were "working on it." Went and sat back down and after 15 more minutes, other customers started asking where their food was and a few people ended up leaving because it was taking way too long. Eventually we just left without even asking for a refund, and nobody working there seemed apologetic at all. To an customer, it seems like they were just trying to get as many orders in as possible, being dishonest about how long it would take and hoping people would get frustrated and just leave, which is what ended up happening. Also, there was no music playing, nobody was talking, and it was just an overall creepy and weird vibe.

Their food is good and it's a nice space. My qualm is that they play such annoying music. I'd come to work and eat there more often if I could hear myself think over the noise.

Very nice indoor cafe. It's a nice place to go with friends and play board games. They have a ton of them.

Fun venue, but the food is something to stay very, very far away from.

Great atmosphere on Saturday, but unfortunately they forgot our order twice, took 30 minutes to make 2 cappuccinos, and ultimately gave us a microwaved breakfast sandwich with frozen egg and cheese. Even Dunkin Donuts does better breakfast. Will never pay to eat here again.

I would give this cafe zero starts if I could. I waited 45 for a cappuccino and an egg sandwich—and it wasn’t even busy. The egg and cheese in my sandwich was actually FROZEN!!!!!! Never had an experience like this before—just terrible
