Clifford's Coffee Canal

Truly a hidden gem ! The coffee and croissants were so good but let’s talk about the atmosphere and the staff … they were both so warm and inviting ! Stepping into this place awakens all your senses it’s so visually pleasing! everywhere you look there’s beautiful flowers or plants and artwork you immediately feel at ease and relaxed ! Can’t wait to go back again 😊

The Coffee Canal is a hidden treasure to the area. You'll want to note that if you're parking, you'll probably need to park in the overflow by the roundabout.
We had a hot and an iced mocha, both great coffee. The fresh baked blueberry muffin was perfect.
The views and atmosphere are splendid, you could sit here for hours sipping on coffee and and chatting or reading.

Love this vibe! The plants. The flowers. The nice smells. The fresh plants smell indoors & the riverside patio smell outside. Great visit with my cousins. My chai latte was a bit too sweet for my taste yet I’ll definitely come back for the fresh juices, others drinks and food menu, when the kitchen opens again end of May.

It was such a delight! Our first visit and the place is beautiful. The owners gave us such a warm welcome and took care of us. We loved our muffins, absolutely great!! Thank you!!

This place is absolutely beautiful inside - magical, even. It's like a visit to The Secret Garden. On the minus, it's a bit difficult to get around because it's so stuffed full of plants. We sat near an open window and had a lovely time watching a little group of sparrows hopping around and playing. We got our food and lattes surprisingly quickly given how busy they were when we visited.

So why only 3 stars? You are paying for the ambiance more than the quality or quantity of food. It's not that anything we ordered was bad, but it was only OK - and very pricey for what you got. Shown in my photos are two 16oz lattes ($5.75 + .75c for oatmilk + .75c for flavor); Brisket Tostada ($14.50); Barbacoa Tacos ($14.50); & Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit aka Canal Classic ($8.75) (biscuits only available on weekends). Everything was good, but like I said, the food itself was not good enough to justify the prices.

If you are an out-of-towner (or even an in-towner who's never been), I absolutely recommend visiting, the ambiance is magical and you will remember your visit. If you're looking more for different / good food or coffee from local non-chain places, there are other places I'd go first (e.g. Mason Jar, Broadstreet Cafe, Tosi's Cafe, Dino's, Sophia's, Hub Central 185, Six Chicks Scratch Kitchen).

Oh, and another tip.... don't even try the parking lot. It's very claustrophobic, with only about 3 spots and not a lot of room to turn around. Finding a parking spot down the road and walk.

My favorite coffee place. Absolutely beautiful setting. The owners go above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful experience. The food and coffee is great and best smoothies I have had!

Whimsical and beautiful! Parking is very limited so try to walk there, seating outdoors and indoors all filled with lovely flowers and plants by the water.

Quick service and delicious food!

Super cute place! Loved the decor, outside seating available and the perfect place to relax. Everything was yummy; the blueberry muffin was still good the following day.

Just found this little place last week. Very cozy, great views of the canal and fantastic coffee. Lots of vegan things on the menu, very excited to visit again! Parking lot is tiny but there is more available parking down the street. Don't let a full lot stop you from trying them out!

Wonderful vibe besides the good fresh food, coffee or healthy shakes & juices. Very relaxing sounds of a little water fall and beautiful birds singing and chirping.
