Lyon Street Cafe

One of my favorite cafés in GR. Great coffee options (pour over, espressos) and seasonal drinks. So happy they're open again :)

The lattes are fine but not taking people's names when it's so busy the place is basically standing room only resulted in more than a few mixed up drinks. The huts are cute but the little heaters, bless their hearts, don't do much. Plus I underestimated how noisy it is in that little section of Lyon Street. Glad I tried it for the novelty but I doubt I'll do the hut again. I'll have to give this place another shot when it's less busy and see if it's a better experience.

Edit after review reply - I think the problem is less people not remembering what they ordered but more that in the span of ten minutes that Saturday morning, four chai lattes came up. Who ordered in what order? Many of us decided to be tragically basic that morning.

Today, my husband and I went again during a slower time to see if it went better and we watched a latte sit on the counter for five minutes unclaimed. The barista started asking people about it but no one thought it was theirs. I still think names would help. The flavor of the coffee is slightly better at Stovetop Roasters however they always seem to have grounds in the bottom which is not a problem we've had either time at this location. So, props for consistency. Gave a star back since honestly, it's unfair to ding this place for the huts - it's not super relevant to the actual experience of the coffee. Plus I'm sure many others like them c:

No food options yet, but that's in the works from what I hear. The coffee is incredible and the friendly staff. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. It's a great place to get some work done while enjoying premium coffee or to catch up with old friends.Stellar location with a nice outside seating area.
10/10 would recommend and return.

A great environment for meeting up with a few friends, getting some work done, or just reading a good book with a great cup of coffee. I was only here once while visiting from out of town, so I can't speak to the entire menu, but they make a proper cappuccino here, and the staff clearly know what they are doing. There are non-dairy options for the vegan and lactose-intolerant crowd, which is always nice. And the baked goods are ridiculously delicious. Definitely worth a visit!

Really good coffee! But the girl at the counter that took our order with the tattoos on her arm was …. 😍 anyways, yeah the coffee was chefs kiss.

Service was good but lattes are overprices for and entire cup of milk and not even half an espresso shot. Watched and the shot wasnt even half full. It like paying 5 bucks for a cup of milk

A family favorite and a classic date location for my parents. Their coffee plus the interior design of the cafe gives off a super cozy vibe. The small bread shop next door gives a perfect combination of local breakfast dining and the best part is that the prices are not obscenely high like some other places that offer the same drinks and food. The only minor thing that I would like to see in the future is some type of space organization. This cafe is very popular and a lot of students and other people come in, sometimes just by themselves and they take up spaces meant for a group so when I come in with friends or family, we often have to either go somewhere else or wait for space to become available. Otherwise, an amazing place to be.

Locals love to come here for coffee and pastries. The staff is friendly and they prepare different specialty coffees. The atmosphere is so cozy and inviting that one can easily spend over an hour here relaxing with a coffee and reading a good book or socializing with friends or a loved one. Definiately one of the best cafe's in town.

Best cafe in town! The drinks are good, the ambiance is nice and service is timely. Love the Lyon Street Cafe!

Super tasty lattes and espresso. Their pour over is very solid as well! Be careful going on Saturdays, if you get there after 9 a.m. you're sure to have a long wait. But, it usually is worth the long line!
