With many cafes and coffee shops in the vicinity, one must stand out in order to win the local business. CFE does EXACTLY that! I was so incredibly impressed with CFE. The historical setting of the coffee shop has modern decor touches while keeping the building’s classical charm. Upon walking in a was greeted by truly smiling, happy staff! There is seriously nothing better! I told them I was new to the shop and wondered what they offered. The young man politely showed me their simple classic menu, seasonal specials, and the beautiful pastries and cakes. He let me know that all of the pastries were house made (except for one, which was made at a local bakery). I ordered a Cozy Chai Latte from the seasonal menu. The staff member encouraged me to pick a seat and he would bring it to my table. Such a nice touch. All pricing was very reasonable. My goodness, I have never had such a delicious cup of anything in my life. Warm, flavorful, frothy, and served in a REAL MUG! I’m sure they have disposable takeout mugs for those on the go, but I did appreciate a legitimate mug while I enjoyed catching up with a friend. An array of sweeteners and coffee accessories are available at a self-service station, along with a lemon water dispenser. The interior of the store was clean, attractively decorated, and spacious. There are many cozy options for seating - couches, armchairs, big tables, small tables, and outdoor options for the warm weather. I loved how the semi-separation of areas/rooms in the shop allowed for some more privacy. Plus, bar seating is available near the barista. The single unisex bathroom was spacious and clean, and well stocked. It is a typical bathroom but still decorated and maintained. The attached parking lot is a big benefit, too. No need to walk from the municipal lots downtown! Plenty of parking is available in the dirt lot. A low-grade, accessible ramp is present from the lot to the entryway. As I anticipated, the friendly staff said goodbye to us on our way out, flashing big smiles all around. The hospitality here made me want to write this review even more - these people care about the establishment and I wish for them to know that it didn’t go unnoticed. I will absolutely be sharing this establishment with anyone I know in the market for an elevated coffee house, with staff who are happy to be there and delectable beverages made with care (all while paying lower-than-Seattle-Based-Coffee-Company’s prices). Kudos, CFE!!!Parking: Dirt lot on the side of the establishment. There was plenty of parking when I went on a Friday afternoon.Wheelchair accessibility: Low-grade ramp from parking lot to porch and entryway.

I absolutely LOVE this place! The atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming and the workers are amazing! I walk in and am instantly greeted and they already know what I want! I’ve tried a couple things here, but the cozy chai latte is my favorite by far!!! Hot or iced it is phenomenal!!! I love to come here and catch up with friends or sit and do homework as various seating options allow for it all! 11/10 recommend!!!!!

I ordered a mocha latte with hazelnut and almond milk (more hazelnut flavoring than dark chocolate). It is honestly one of the best coffees I've ever had. The drink wasn't on the menu, but I explained the type of coffee I love and Xhino said, without hesitation, "I can definitely make that for you." It was nice to work together to create a great latte. If you're someone like me who never knows what to order, don't be shy to talk to the Cfe staff about creating what you're looking for.The vibe is relaxed, not rushed, no judgement and friendly. I haven't tried the food yet, but they did look fresh!Vegetarian options: Meat free food optionsDietary restrictions: The staff is open to hearing about your orderParking: Easy parkingKid-friendliness: They have juices and drinks that are kid friendly. Also some sweet treats too.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp

Nice owners!!! My husband and I will be back!! The vibe and drinks are on POINT! If you love a good cup of coffee this is your new spot! Support the locals Starbucks is now old news. Can’t wait to come again!
Great place. I'm not a "fancy coffee" drinker. Just a plain old cup of joe is good enough for me. And they had the best coffee I have tasted in quite a while. Nice and smooth with no bitter taste at all. Looking forward to sitting on their covered porch with a cup of their great coffee this spring.They could benefit from a larger sign out front. The first month they were open I didn't know it was a coffee house because there was no sign identifying it as such so I just passed by as I'm sure many others did. They have since put a little cardboard sign out front but it's not very noticeable. Bigger sign would bring them a lot more business.
