I like this little coffee spot. They have wraps and small bites to order with your coffee. We came on the weekend and they were starting an open mic. The service was fast and parking isn’t bad at all if you get a spot in the garage. They also have additional seating area upstairs.

Love the small and cozy atmosphere. And live music on Fridays… sometimes I just get a coffee or chai sometimes a small glass of wine and a snack, salad or wrap. So comfortable here. So friendly. Love it.

Very much a college town cafe. Lots of seating and places to chillax. Latte was as expected. Avocado toast was on some delish bread. Snagged a cookie for an afternoon treat and it did not disappoint. I hope to make it to their spoken word hour some day! Extremely nice on the bank account.

Been there a few times. Last Saturday mid morning with a couple of friends. Great house blend coffee! I'm just a regular coffee guy without a pedigree...I also had a tofu wrap that was very good. I'm also a semi vegan...And (there's more you say) I'm slightly handicapped so the underground non icy parking is a plus for me. My friends also both gave it a thumbs up. Nice atmosphere as I'm sure others have said. Family owned. Friendly staff. Nice size too. Winner, winner, tofu dinner!

The coffee and the baked goods are decent, but not special. The interior is spacious and well decorated but it’s dirty. The floors are covered in mop streaks and it looks like the tables and carts aren’t swept under very regularly. The wall under the giant Eastern European map painting is also food and dirt spattered. My son got a decent latte but it was served in a standard coffee cup with no kind of artistic flair at all. Overall, this place could easily earn 4 stars by cleaning regularly, presenting their specialty coffee drinks better, and getting the staff to at least pretend to smile. I know Cargo has it’s diehard fans and it was very busy, but for me it was an underwhelming experience.

Nothing beats an Atomic Mocha Freeze. I'll drink one when it's 20 below!!!

Dirty chai latte was excellent, my friends drink was also well made. The avocado toast however was literally just sliced avocado on plain toast, desperately needed a sauce or something else simple to add to it because it's not worth the cost. Their skills and quality clearly side with their drinks, which I will be coming back for.

A neat place to get coffee. The breakfast burrito was fantastic.

I wanted to buy coffee beans and asked to grind them for aeropress. A person behind the counter did not know what that was so I asked to grind for drip. Unfortunately, they grounded it too coarse. Anyway, the coffee itself was really really bad, worse than what you can buy at a supermarket for half the price. They did not tell me anything about the flavor profile or when it was roasted, only the country of origin (mine was from Peru) and that it was a medium roast. Strongly recommend to avoid this place if you want to buy specialty coffee beans.

A coffee place innocuous and practical. I just walked in for a dark roast and took it outside to drink. Coffee was fine.
