There's quite a bit of seating for small groups, a large table for a big group or coworking, bar seating, and lounge chairs. There are minimal outlets along the walls so if you need to plug in while working, be sure to scout a good spot. Their merch was so cute and I almost bought this owala!

So appreciated their willingness to make a special meal for a friend who is they're on a layover between flights.

Definitely one of the best places to spend a slow morning or an afternoon with a good latte.

Plenty of space to read, study, or catch up with a friend. The baristas were all super friendly. I love their fall seasonal menu right now. I also appreciate how many decaf options they have! My husband always orders a vanilla latte whenever we go to a coffee shop, hot or cold depending on the season. I ordered the decaf pumpkin latte cold brew. Their flavors are so so good! Not synthetic/fake tasting like some others. The shop is located in a great spot where you can easily take your coffee and walk around the area. Or you can drive a few minutes down the road and explore Hidden Falls along the river. Highly recommend this spot!

I've since removed myself due to how popular the shop got and recently had an opportunity to revisit. I'm so glad I did! What I once knew as a tiny, cozy shop has expanded into an entire new section directly behind the original space allowing for more guests to visit. This is fantastic! I know the original owners of Cafe Astoria have stepped down, yet I'm pleased to say under the new ownership that many of the original decor and items remain the same from awhile back. The biggest transformations are the larger space, added painted mural, flexible ordering system where you can now order from a QR code at your table or walk up the register, expanded menu that includes brunch all day and items such as breakfast sandwiches and avocado toast. What went from a small crepe and specialty coffeehouse has truly grown. Don't worry the crepes and coffees are all still on the menu.
