After being recommended by two nearby shops to stop into this place for lunch, my mother and I were…read morenot disappointed! This was without a doubt, the BEST breakfast sandwich I've ever had. The steak was fresh, the cheese was perfectly melted and overall the sandwich was very hot on arrival to our table. Same goes for the ciabatta sandwich! The tea was not too tart or sweet, and was perfectly balanced! The staff were incredibly kind and the entire building was warm and inviting. I will 100% take the 1.5 hour drive back out there again.

There's 3 separate seating areas inside and additional seating outside on the porch.

I grabbed an iced carrot cake latte and it was perfect! Husband has a red eye which he found refreshing. Stop by and say,"Hi" and grab some liquid fuel!

Every beverage (hot or cold) that we have ordered has never disappointed. The menu always has tried and true favorites, but rotates through various additional/seasonal offering. Pretty much everything from my previous review remains the same so be sure to check that out, but the exciting update is they have started to roast their own beans inhouse! In addition to the high-quality drinks being served, the welcoming environment created by the owners, Ryan and Lillah, is what helps set EECC apart from others. It is obvious that they take pride in their shop and do what it takes to connect with their customers. If you are looking for that hometown coffee shop vibe with the quality of drinks/coffee from a big city, East End is the place for you!

This place definitely had the vibe of a city coffee shop with the options and quality to back up the vibe. Seriously a cool spot and for a midmorning on a weekday, there were plenty of people hanging out. I had an excellent chai. My coworkers had specials that were on a sign at the counter. If you are in this area, this place is a must stop.

I have been coming to this place for a long time and, until today, had no complaints…read more Today I brought in a coffee from the coffee shop down the street, thinking nothing of it. In fact, I thought that a place called "The Kind Cafe" might appreciate someone supporting another local business. Instead, I was told to cover up my coffee with a sleeve. It struck me as a very odd request, but I complied anyway. After that, the experience became increasingly uncomfortable. I overheard the barista making comments to other customers such as, "Thanks for choosing our place for your drink order." Given the context, it felt very clearly directed at me. The comment was made publicly, in front of other customers, and came across as an attempt to shame me for bringing in a coffee from somewhere else. Then he asked me what kind of drink I had gotten. After I answered, he responded, "Oh, I thought it was something special," with a tone that felt sarcastic and dismissive. At that point, I asked him directly whether I had offended him by bringing in a coffee from another business. He told me that outside drinks were not allowed but delivered the message with an attitude that felt unnecessarily hostile. I explained that I had never been informed of this policy and genuinely did not know. I also told him that I felt he was trying to make me feel bad about it. His response was essentially, "I wasn't trying to make you feel bad, but whatever." The policy itself is not the issue. Had someone politely informed me that outside drinks were not allowed, I would have respected that immediately. What bothered me was being publicly embarrassed and treated with passive-aggressive disrespect over what was clearly an innocent mistake. I've been a regular customer for years and order from this place nearly every week. This was the first time I had ever brought in a coffee from somewhere else. Being treated this way by both the owner and the main barista was disappointing and completely at odds with the values this business claims to represent. For a place that calls itself "The Kind Cafe," this was one of the least kind customer interactions I've experienced in a long time. Perhaps this is an opportunity for some reflection on what kindness actually feels like from the customer's side of the counter.

Relaxing and delicious, with plenty of free parking…read more When I heard the family that owns Guante's Family Restaurant in Mifflintown was opening a café/coffee shop just outside of town, I knew it would be a top-notch establishment. We finally were able to visit this past weekend and were very impressed with the relaxing openness of the café and the delicious specialty coffees being served. One of the main frustrations with visiting the GFR in town was the lack of public parking, but the new café has a huge private parking lot to accommodate all their customers. Upon entering the café, there are multiple seating areas from tables, chairs, and benches, to couches and low tables. The variety enables the customer to choose what type of experience they would like to enjoy and due to the large space, everyone can be spread out and not cramped with others. The interior is locally decorated and features various craft items from around the area. Now to the coffee! DELICIOUS! They are using Little Amps' beans, which is my favorite coffee shop in HBG! With a base of Little Amps beans the drinks can only get better from there. They have a nice variety of specialty coffee drinks, smoothies, and non-caffeinated options. On this visit we tried the Mocha La Abuelita, which was out of this world. It was a mocha, but used Mexican chocolate, that adds a unique flavor when combined with the cinnamon and expresso. My mouth is watering as I type this! They do have a limited food menu of a variety of paninis and regularly feature homemade baked goods from local artisan bakers. Guante Café fills a void in the Juniata county area for those who want high quality coffees in a relaxing environment. They are even open on Sundays!! I look forward to see what the future will bring with this amazing new place!
