Café Artista

Moscow has two great coffee shops and I love each in its own way. But Artista has the best coffee -- Stumptown -- and the best atmosphere for conversation. The owners are incredibly generous with their time and resources. We are so lucky to have Cafe Artista in the community.

My burrito is always hot and filled with deliciousness, my cup is always filled with love and my drinks are always topped with whipped cream.
They carry the best hot sauce and the seating is comfortable!

Can't say enough good things about Cafe Artista! Bev, Lisa and the very friendly staff are surviving this horrid pandemic with obvious dedication, grace and of course humor. The simple courtesy of mask protocol helps this lovley cafe be a bright safe break in my day when greeted by the staff, great atmosphere, nice selection of yummy's and the terrific coffee!

I love Cafe Artista!! Great coffee, pastries and atmosphere!! The baristas are friendly and always willing to make drink suggestions!! The remodel is beautiful and I love that masks are required!!!❤❤

Café Artista is a cozy, welcoming place where coffee and art meet. A true example for small business, Café Artista is family-run by Bev and Lisa Bafus. Not only do they serve locally-roasted coffee, they also make most of their pastries and food items in-house and with love. Their breakfast sandwiches are made from scratch and held between utterly delicious, wonderfully flaky biscuits from a recipe passed down from Lisa’s great-great-grandmother, Elizabeth Baer.

Café Artista is not a cookie-cutter coffee shop. It's a place that wears their hearts on their sleeves. This is a lively place where community members, university students, and traveling folk converge to co-exist in a creative and welcoming space while enjoying a deliciously prepared cup (or two) of coffee. What makes Café Artista so special, besides their humble roots, is that they are a wonderful advocate for their community. They provide a space for local artists and craftspeople to publicly display their work and give them a place to sell their creations. Not only are they a strong source of local advocacy, they also use their platform as a small business to support causes that affect people regionally, nationwide, and globally.

After a brief closure due to COVID, Café Artista opened back up for walk-up and curbside take-out. They’ve recently remodeled their interior space to further improve their dine-in experience while ensuring the comfort and safety of their customers. The food and drinks are some of my favorite in town, but the kindness of the folks over at Artista is 90% of why I continue to support their family business.

Café Artista is one of my favorite coffee shops in the area. The atmosphere is great and the staff is so sweet.

Cafe Artista is a great meeting spot in Moscow, ID. They have a backroom available for more private small gatherings, but the beverages are excellent, their tea choices are top notch and they provide a wonderful area to get coffee and get some work done. Prices are reasonable. and yes, you can get Mexican Mochas.

This is the place to go for coffee in Moscow. Great location downtown, super cute place to enjoy excellent coffee, had a scone that awesome which was homemade by the owner. Baristas were very helpful with great energy. Definitely would recommend Cafe Artista!

Cafe artista is always friendly, had delicious baked foods, and the remodel over Covid is so impressive! ( including the walk up window) our shops go to for coffee most days.

Great little shop, awesome customer service. Had no problem fixing their mistake and refunding my friend when they got her order wrong, and always make patrons feel welcome. Also, they're open on Sundays, which is a huge boon for Moscow.
