March, 2025. My husband and I were visiting Tallahassee's Central District as tourists. While checking out Cascades Park, we heard thunder approaching and the skies turned ominously dark. We decided to hurry back to our parked car, which was at least half-a-mile away. Too late; it started to rain and we didn't have an umbrella. My husband noticed the Argonaut Coffee, a cute shop that offers specialty drinks, pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and more. We dropped into the coffee shop to stay dry while relaxing in comfortable chairs and sipping hot drinks.
My husband ordered a Cafe Americano ($4), while I got a chai latte ($5.75) made with almond milk ($1 uncharge). We also got a blueberry muffin ($4) to share. We enjoyed our drinks and muffin, though I would've preferred a hotter chai.
The ambiance of the shop was comfortable and clean, with friends chatting at the counter on stools, students sitting at tables sipping coffee while on their laptops, etc. Staff were courteous.
We don't normally go to coffee shops, and did feel some sticker shock at the prices. We spent over $20, with taxes and tip, for two drinks and a single muffin. That said, the menu prices for sandwiches seemed reasonable. We would return to Argonaut Coffee if we return to Tallahassee. read more
