Café Á Côté

Needed some java and I would not even think of going to a Starbucks for any reason. That said I found this place in the lobby of the building. The barista was super nice and friendly which is a fading characteristic now a days. Actually, she is what made me write the review. To get served by her each morning with a cup of coffee would be a great way to start the day- she should be paid more. Yes it is purely plutonic. I just like happy people when being waited on. Thanks you!

This is an adorable cafe perfect for a casual day in downtown, date night, or a girls get together. The restaurant is beautiful, light, airy, and feels like you are tucked away from downtown for a bit. I came here with some girlfriends for a light dinner and drinks before a night out. We definitely enjoyed our time here. The restaurant is clean and small, we came on a slower day so it was quiet, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. We got various cocktails that were all delicious, the “planche de fromages” - the cheese were so good, and the crème brûlée which was decadent and perfectly baked. I’ll have to come back to try some of their actual meals. I would definitely recommend coming here to try at least once!

Randomly stopped in here during their happy hour. Altogether really good tasting and quality food. Their espresso drinks were also spot-on.

Café à Côté is the perfect little escape to Paris right in the heart of the city! This charming café exudes authentic French vibes with its cozy ambiance and delightful menu. Whether you’re indulging in a buttery croissant, a perfectly brewed espresso, or one of their delectable tartines, every item is crafted with care and bursting with flavor. The attention to detail, from the plating to the warm, friendly service, makes the experience all the more special. It’s the ideal spot for a leisurely breakfast, a casual lunch, or just a quiet moment with a delicious pastry. Café à Côté is a hidden gem you’ll fall in love with on your very first visit!

Really easy spot to be and get a coffee or matcha. Lots of sitting space (benches - tables - sofas). The coffee was really great too. And cute they have vhs films playing on a tiny tv behind the counter.

Little cafe with not much seating. Food was yummy. I got the cheese omelette, my coworker got the ham, cheese and onion omelette Hers was the better choice. Great coffees, happening little spot. Just one overworked guy doing all the coffee, taking orders and serving. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

I needed a pick me up in the afternoon. I had a long drive back home. I found this coffee shop on maps, it was walkable distance from the Capitol. I ordered a vanilla cold brew with oatmilk. It was one of the best cold brews I've had. The batista was friendly and helpful. I would love to go back to try more. It also has an area for cocktails and stays open til 10 p.m.

Really like this place. It's part of the nearby Bistro, so I think they share their kitchen for food. Really tasty coffee and great service. Will be going back. Want to try their pastries
