Commonwealth Coffeehouse

Up until recently this has been my favorite place to go for coffee. I'd go every Tuesday and Thursday before class and get a white chocolate and lavender latte. The last time I went I asked if I could have one of their paper coffee cups so I could 3D print a sleeve for it to keep my hand from burning and after a bit of conversation, mostly seeming like the person at the counter wasn't understanding, nor trying to understand I was banned from here. I am very confused as to why someone would escalate to this so suddenly.

Nice coffee shop. Great place to get a cup or two. Owners are very friendly.

My first time going into the shop since it opened. Good prices. Great food and a nice variety to choose from. Intimate and relaxing atmosphere

Not allowed to sit with a friend if you’re not ordering

Have you ever been to a cafe where you can order twice in one sitting, but you’re not allowed to have anyone sit with you if they haven’t ordered?

Owner stared down my friend for 2 hours then berated him for not ordering, while sitting with me when I’ve ordered twice

Oddest behavior I’ve ever seen from any coffee shop

Chronically understaffed, and owner radiates stress

Otherwise, good coffee and desserts! But unwelcoming environment - read the other reviews… you’ll notice more weird behavior

Tried the egg sandwiches and they were all awesome. Good local spot. Cool staff.
Coffee was great.

I had a great time eating pistachio muffin and they have a nice coffee. The staff are super friendly. This atmosphere is quiet and awesome

Great place to sip on some coffee and study/work. The coffee tastes great and the atmosphere (in my personal opinion) is the best of all the shops downtown. Music is never too loud/distracting. Clean tables, courteous and welcoming customer service. Will return and would recommend.

Not happy with the food or specialty drink. Chairs are uncomfortable. The owner was not welcoming. Go to Starbucks right across the street or one of the other many good coffee shops downtown

This new coffee shop is a great treat. Their coffee tastes excellent with their unique roasts, and they make excellent lunch sandwiches. It’s a cozy atmosphere to sit down and do work or to grab a quick bite.

One of my favorite places for coffee, tea and a quick bite in Scranton. I love the atmosphere inside and it's a good spot to bring your laptop and get some work done. They're breakfast sandwich is delicious.
