This coffee shop has it all: puzzles and coloring pages for study breaks, delicious cafe and breakfast selection, inspirational decor, local artisan items for sale, and happy plants for atmosphere :) Great job, Cafe Artista- you nailed it!

They seriously make the best coffee in town!!! Nobody can steam milk like they can!!! And their specials are all actually unique not just salted caramel! I really recommend the pear + white chocolate drink. They also cultivate a really lovely community meeting place. :) Also their baked goods are AMAZING!! the cheese and artichoke scone is so good! I've never been disappointed with their selection :)

My partner and I love the chai here. It's one of the best, quietest places in Moscow to enjoy a drink (and/or a pastry) and have a conversation.

Such a cute space, great coffee, and friendly people. I enjoy having little coffee dates with friends here since they have lots of comfy seating.

While I was ready to order the two baristas were talking behind the bar, looked at me, then continued talking. Terrible customer service. Then, they burnt my milk, talked to the other barista about how they burnt it and then still served it to me. They can’t make a proper Cubano shot either. I’d rather wait in line at Dutch for 40 minutes and pay $5 for a cup of coffee than rather go here again. I don’t know why I tipped them.

I don't often venture out these days, but when I want to meet a friend or colleague over coffee and delicious baked good, I most often visit Cafe Artista. A mother-daughter run shop in downtown Moscow with a great atmosphere, lots of great art (one of the owners, Lisa, is an amazing artist!), lots of comfortable seating, great coffee and baked goods. They have been amazing during the pandemic, making certain all of the patrons feel safe and welcome, always requiring masks when not eating or drinking makes it feel like a safe place to venture out to. A small boutique and gift shop are also in the shop. Overall, a really quality cafe, people, coffee, food and atmosphere.

One of my top favorite places in the area. Excellent food, beverages, and services! I also love that they are dedicated to ethically sourcing their products and supporting local businesses! We need more establishments like this one!

The baked goods are actually really good. Flavored lattes are sometimes inconsistent but this place is less busy and a little more inviting I think than others cafes in the area.

I have mixed feelings about Cafe Artista. It has far and away the best lounge of any shop in Moscow and Pullman - not even One World or Daily Grind (RIP) can compete. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is accepting - a safe haven *from* kirkers, not *for* kirkers (I'm looking at you Bucer's). Like One World, it has two excellent vistas for people watching. So why am I giving this place 3 stars instead of 5 stars? I've lived in Moscow for 6 years and make it a point to visit each coffeehouse/shack/franchise on a roughly quarterly basis - I like being up to date on who's got the best drip and draw around. And in all that time, I don't know if I've ever been satisfied by the coffee here. Whether it's a latte, cappuccino, macchiato, or a mocha, it's always bitter and dry - trademarks of overdrawn esspresso. Cafe Artista has so much going for them. If they fixed the café in their cafe, they'd blow the competition out of the water.
