Five stars for the friendly staff, quick drinks, ample of seating, and bright ambiance…read more Three stars for the beverages we ordered. The moka spice latte was pretty decent but what we thought would be a show stopper, the Dubai chocolate latte, was just too sweet. And not like a rich chocolate sweet but felt like an overload of sugar with a hint of oiliness from the chocolate. Would not recommend especially at the steep price of the drink. We also asked for hot lattes but they were lukewarm at best. I'm still curious about their chai so we might return but will pass on the espresso drinks for now. If we try them again, I would try another flavor and would also select the iced option.

Couple running groups, students studying, OSU women's gymnastics team, etc. Got through line quickly and order was prompt. What a great selection of the basics plus seasonal concoctions.

I really love this place as it has a ton of seating, There are two levels and students come here to study and work in groups. The have so many different drinks and food to choose from lattes, drip coffee, pour over coffee, smoothies, tea, ice cream, breakfast pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and hot chocolate to name a few. We ordered the Lavender Honey Latte and the Caramel & Vanilla Latte but the coffee was delicious. Both had the right amount of flavors, it was served with at the right temperature. It came quickly as well. Overall, we would come here again next time we are in town. Next time, I'll be sure to order the Barista Flavor of the Day.

With that said, there is a very hometown feel when you walk into this place. The staff are very kind and seemingly gentle spirited. The ordering process is intimate and quick and then there are expansive seating options just around the corner. The drip coffee was amazing! Robust but not bitter. The breakfast burrito was also delicious, the sausage makes it crave-able. The cinnamon roll was decent, not my favorite cinnamon roll due to perhaps a citrus flavor experience I could have lived without. It may have been better had I asked for it to be warmed. (But I'm not a fan of having to warm a cinnamon roll in order for it to be good)

Decor is gold tone and gives the place a sense of sophistication. The drinks are on the expensive side and I would imagine pastries as well. The service was friendly and answered my question. I think it's fun to try new to me drinks and try the pastries when I visit a new coffee shop, but I doubt I would be back with high prices as such I can see why students wouldn't afford to visit daily. I feel this is a once in a while type of place. But I doubt recommend for the experience.

He was damn good in making the coffee, everytime I took my coffee from there it was with the same taste and awesome. He was also so good in greeting the people and helping them with their orders. But IDK what happened and I am not seeing that guy anymore there. Now some new persons are serving there and running. Literally since then I am missing my BLUE OWL CAFE AU LAIT so much. The people now serving there are not doing there job seriously and ruining my morning mood daily. I am liking the taste at all. I really asked if it's possible to do something for that, otherwise no problem there are more coffee places. I just really wish you guys could do better with that guy. Also one more incident I would like to share that the person now serving is literally not taking the job seriuosly becuse he gave me my coffee cup with the bigger lid which wasn's fit on the cup at all and that I wasn't aware of. When I drank my coffee it was all over me with that lid, so you can now understand what is happening. I am not very happy btw. Thanks though.

Galley-like set up as you walk in. Breakfast diner vibes more than 'cafe and bakery'. Kitchen to your left as you walk down short corridor into cafe. Sloth-like chill attitude encouraged; the hashtag is #letshangtogether. Had fun looking at all the little sloth decor throughout. Lots of light and glass. VERY limited seating; seats about 15 (?) inside; mostly 2 tops and a 6 top. When we walked in, we were greeted warmly, permitted to sit where ever we would like, then handed menus. Turkish music playing was just a bit too loud. Hospitality. Friendly and helpful. Owner-chef seemed very happy to be there, singing and engaging with his regulars. Offerings. Basic breakfast and lunch items with Turkish and Mediterranean classics. No flavored lattes but other basic espresso drinks offered. Chai was excellent. Had the Turkish coffee because it was a Turkish joint; was REALLY good; strong. We had the Simit Platter; sesame-like NY bagel, feta chunks, and olives. All very good. See pics. Apparently they offer cooking classes, catering, and meal prep pick-up -- for ever-changing healthier, fresh, easy-prep take-out options. Of Note and Last Impressions. Lot parking. Overall, fun.

It was tasty and even better with the bread they provided. It could've been packaged in a better way because the oil dripped out everywhere by the time we got it home.

The artichoke was slightly disappointing because it didn't have any other flavor than salt and vinegar, similar to canned/bottled artichokes. The salad was fresh and the dressing was light. Overall, this was a light and tasty lunch.

And I gotta say the Chicken Sausage may be one of the best things I've eaten in a long time, I was stuffed but couldn't stop eating a little at a time because it was SO GOOD. Nice ambience and friendly service plus they were willing to help us out with a late to-go order for the Chicken Salad since we were renting a Frank Lloyd Wright house for the weekend and didn't know if we could do much cooking. We also got a couple cookies to-go and they were excellent! Strange name, but if you're remotely near Williamston check out That New Place. I still have to laugh about Google Maps trying to direct us to That New Place, but it was really good! :)
