Cafe Smitten has such a delicious menu and has wonderful customer service! I enjoy coming any chance I can because how amazing this place is! The employees are so kind and welcoming, also they are quick for carry out and when you dine-in they are very quick as well! Most importantly the food and drinks are so delicious at Cafe smitten, you could not go wrong there Iced Matcha Latte or the Avocado Smash!

We love this place. It's our go to spot after church. I love the Moroccan eggs and the ice chia latte. Chill relaxing vibes. It's a great place to enjoy a latte with friends.

This is a great, cute Cafe we found on a road trip. The drinks are great! And their sandwiches were very very tasty. I had their mushroom sandwich and a matcha. I also tried their pumpkin pie. Yumm. I liked the whole style and vibes of this place.

Great food options with a tremendous diversity. They do it all. And it's fresh & healthy! Loved it! Lovely staff and great ambiente as well! <3

Very chill vibe and beautiful presentation! We arrived at 11 am on Memorial Sunday and the cafe was almost empty. Plenty of free street parking and also a parking lot. There is ample space in the front and backyards. Food was ok but it felt good staying here. I love their music selection!

Wow! Very fortunate to find this gem as we passed through the city. Had this been in remotely close to where we live we’d be regulars. Cannot wait to eat here again. Food was spectacular (tried the Greek Eggs and schnitzel salad, both perfect and made with fresh ingredients), was beautifully presented, the service was most friendly, and decor is lovely and well thought through. Really can’t point out one thing we didn’t love about this place. Very well done

Nice Cafe, the food is fresh and the coffee is good! It's a little on the pricy side, but it's worth trying.

Was just passing through town and I’m really glad this is the spot I picked to stop at. Super cool vibe with a mix of good indoor and outdoor spaces. Lots of parking, really nice aesthetic, and just generally a cool but friendly vibe from the staff. Coffee was great and so was the steak sandwich. All the food options seemed awesome!
