8th St. Coffee House

Oh boy. I hope for the best here in the future..this early morning I must say wasn’t the better of experiences here. We walk into a quiet room with a handful of people in conversation or reading. Within 15 minutes music kicks on super loud to a ridiculously explicit club vibe so the workers can feel autonomous and "whatever-about-the-customers-it's about-me" music. I watch as a gentleman leaves with his book underarm. I left minutes after. Too bad for a place that serves a good food selection and good coffee. It just kills it to hear and see employees throwing out foul language behind the counter "just because". Local spots are great but there's a fine line that tempts to spoil it when it becomes more about the workers and less about the customers. This is happening in a lot of fast food service unfortunately. This is where these local spots could really make an impact and bring in more people. Kudos to most of what the cafe offers, but it could do well to switch up some of the other issues. Most people simply want a good cup of coffee.

I had avoided this place in the past for the lack of vegan options, but I thought I would give it another try since they moved locations. I made a to-go order so I could eat safely in my office without a mask. The dining area itself was small and crammed with tables. It had a few side rooms that looked nice, but they were all occupied.

I ordered the Mexicali Wrap without cheese or ranch, and asked them to add picante. I should have checked the order before I left, but I was in a hurry. When I got to my office I saw that not only did they forget the picante, but they also didn't add any black beans or corn. Then there were still bits of cheese stuck to the guac that I had to pick out. So definitely avoid this place if you have serious allergies and are concerned about cross-contamination.

It was too late and too cold for me to walk all the way back to have my order fixed. But, all in all, I wasn't satisfied.

I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because, despite all this, the staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. The coffee was also good.

I have to admit I was a little disappointed when I first walked into their new location bc it just wasn't as cozy as their old place, however I love the back rooms as they are still very cozy. Love the food love the smoothies, the only reason I don't give 5 stars was bc I personally am not a huge fan of their coffee, but I know lots of people do so I still think you should go, even if you don't get any coffee

Their espressos are very good and breakfast reasonably priced.

I tried their Chai latte and was very pleased. The French toast was mediocre but I received a large portion so it makes up for what it lacks in flavor.

Overall it's a nice Cafe. The people are friendly and it has a modernized style to it

Went to the wrong place not knowing but atlas I am here. Good hot coffee.

I paid $10 for their breakfast plate they served it on a paper plate which was fine. It came with scrambled eggs, ham, and toast.
The eggs had no flavor to them, the ham was 4 small round cheap sandwich ham that was disgusting folded in half. The toast was ok but they couldn't even give me real butter, they serve it with country crock!!!!

Food was great, service was less than adequate. Showed up at 1pm, was told they were cleaning the dining area so I’d have to find elsewhere to sit. Nothing like eating my delicious food outside on a chilly & windy day.

Everyone was so nice. Food and smoothies were delish 🤌🤩

Breakfast for 4 was $40 but well worth it. We aren't quite ready to dine in but there was enough social distancing where we could have. Avacado toast with bacon was perfect. Kids sized meals were more than we expected. And they even were able to make my hazelnut machiatto. Better than Starbucks!!! Service was great and with a smile. Will stop in again for sure!

8st coffee house has a very eclectic vibe. The food is very good and there is plenty of seating. There is a park with picnic benches just up the street which is perfect if you prefer to enjoy your meal outside

We called our to go order in 20 minutes ahead of time and it was ready when we arrived. However, there was one little wrinkle. There was a line all the way to the door and we were told that we had to get in line to pay because they only have one cash register 😂. Fortunately, one of the other employees overheard this and rung us up and got us on our way. That should be the default process (or they shouldn't accept phone in to go orders)
