  • The drinks are some of the most expensive with a latte starting at $6.30.
  • They don't upcharge for non-dairy milks, but the cost is built into the base price.

  • A coffee shop / record store / film lab combo with creative drinks and helpful baristas.
  • They have delicious creative drinks. We liked them so much we tried to re-create them at home!
  • If you need a break from work, you can flip through some records and spend more money than you planned to.

  • Caffetto has great prices. Some of the lowest we've seen while still producing quality coffee.
  • The wifi is pretty slow, but if you're waiting for something to load you can go downstairs where they have a full arcade!
  • Lots of outlets and plenty of seating. The biggest drawback is the slow wifi.

  • The environment is great. It's calm, cozy, and filled with studious college kids.
  • The drinks on our first visit were not very good, but upon return, we had some great ones. Mixed results.
  • The only parking is paid street parking. Be prepared to fish out an extra $10.
