This coffee shop is very involved in the community, their events are very well organized! The food and coffee was good and it’s overall a good spot to hang out at.

Art House Café is a cozy place to catch up with a friend or simply unwind on your own. The Apple Cinnamon Hot Chocolate was soo good, and the wraps were delicious as well. Will definitely be back!

Really cute hole in the wall Cafe!! The food is immaculate, though the breakfast sandwich is a little underwhelming for the price. I got a soup, and it was incredible, definitely recommend. The coffee is amazing, and the presentation, perfect. The service was incredible and very nice. The atmosphere was cure and a little rustic, but most of the art on display was not for sale, which kinda sucks. Anyway, great experience

If you are looking for something really good to chill with vintage vibes, this cafe is really nice! I’ve been here about four times already but hadn’t tried the sandwiches until now. I usually avoid tomatoes since I’m not a fan, but this one was sweet and fresh,loved it! The BLT is fantastic, especially the bacon, and the coffee is really good too.

This cafe was on our way when we were doing a vintage hunting, love the place for the vibe, very artsy, dark-vintage core vibe, only that the place was quite small so consider if you are coming in a big group. I was blown away by their decorations and forgot to take a photo of the food, but it was decent, didn’t really stand out to me taste wise. So if you’re a person who’s interested in cafes with unique atmosphere, definitely give it a shot, but if you’re looking for cafe with an outstanding menu, maybe consider a bit. Glad I visited!
