Alcove Coffeehouse

Great, cozy place to get delicious espresso, decent selection of teas, decaf espresso, plenty of alternative milk options, gluten free, vegan and vegetarian baked goods and lunch options! It’s in one of the most beautiful areas in town, and it’s a great place to get some work done or have an intimate meeting/date when the dining room is open. Quite the gem~

Ordered a cortado with almond milk (since they don't have oat milk), and got told by the employee my drink won't be good because I didn't want whole milk. No other coffeeshop I've been to has had a problem making a drink with a non dairy alternative - yours is just poor quality apparently. But overall the employee was right: my drink was bad. The espresso was sour tasting and no amount of flavored syrup would have made it palatable.
If you choose to drink your subpar drink there, there are only three small tables overlooking the lake, and they're always occupied.

Great place , tasty delicious pastries, tasty very good coffee, very nice place 👍

What a great coffeehouse!
My mom and I went there this morning and had a great experience. Coffee was wonderful, muffins and coffee cake were so fresh. Best of all -the service and the view and atmosphere!! Love this place.
Oh and the guy who was working was super nice and helpful with my handicap mother.

Nice place, very cool ambience & decor. A very refreshing change from the typical coffee houses. The owner cares, and takes the necessary steps to insure good customer experiences

Nice owner. Second to none views of a lake indide the cafe. Quiet.

The relaxing view of the lake was great, coffee was strong and tasty- not too bitter like Starbucks. Service was very friendly. Only thing I disliked was the volume/type of the music. I think a more relaxing background music and less loud would be more appropriate for the lake setting, and make the whole place much more comfortable.

Beautiful little coffee spot by the lake, nice place to have a quick coffee date. Lady who owns the shop is friendly and works hard, and definitely deserves the business she gets!
Coffee is fantastic and there are lots of unique menu options to set her infront of the competition.

This coffee shop is in the perfect location sitting on a lake! The staff was very friendly and the coffee was wonderful!

I don't like the fact that you are greeted at the door by a chalkboard sign full of rules, concerning seating and how to order, instead of something like a positive quote or daily specials. I don't like the fact that not all customers are treated equally, in that the more you spend, it grants you a different level of acceptance, friendliness, and time limit of lake view seating. I don't like reading in a coffee shop, studying, or working on a laptop and being glared at by the staff, with a clear desire for me to leave. I don't like the little signs all over the place with rules and regulations. It's a coffee shop. Lingering and sitting quietly wherever you like or having a long chat is why coffee shops even exist. I think this business would rather be an upscale restaurant with VIP reservations for lake-view seating, instead of a relaxing place to sit (freely) and drink a cup. If it weren't for the lake view, the lack of hospitality and warmth inside would surely leave this business empty of customers. The control of the seating is ridiculous. I can see now why it's never crowded. Too bad, because it could be such a wonderful pleasure to write, study, or daydream here. Too edgy for that! Their intent is definitely buy food, stay 10 minutes, and then leave please. Very disappointing for the community.
