Servers write a nice note on your drink order cup. I do wish there were sweeteners to sweeten your own drinks on the counters. Food was great I wish my matcha was sweeter (I added some maple syrup when I got home. But my turkey sausage waffle sandwich was amazing! The perfect mix of sweet and savory. Will definitely be back to try other variations.

I love their little gift section featuring an assortment of wood-wicked candles and locally handcrafted potholders as well as their Five Star brand coffees for sale.

The drip coffee was okay, but the avocado toast was tasty! The mushroom leek crepe was very savory as well. The peach cardamom cloud latte had a very strong cardamom aftertaste. Highly recommend for a chill morning! Service was okay, I think they forgot my friend's order partway.

Today for my coffee shop Saturday's, I finally checked out Milo's Cafe and I loved it…read more I felt welcomed from the moment I walked in. Everyone that works there is so friendly. The beautiful lady that works there gave me their 2 menu's, the regular menu and the spring menu. They have so many options, from Crepes, to Paninis, to breakfast to lunch to dessert. I sat at a table for a few minutes to browse them. I decided on a hot Hazelnut Brown Sugar Latte and a slice of Banana Bread. Both sooo good!! My first sip of my latte and I was so happy. It's super cute inside of Milo's Cafe. Plenty of seating inside and outside on the patio. Even the ladies room is super cute. I'll definitely be back.

Some coffee shops are designed for a quick caffeine fix. Others become part of the fabric of a…read moreneighborhood. Willow House Coffee is firmly the latter. Bryan and Judy have created something that feels increasingly rare: a space where hospitality is the defining feature. Equal parts coffee shop and community living room, Willow House welcomes everyone; from remote workers settling in for the morning to families with young children, friends lingering over conversation, and neighbors who simply stopped by to say hello. The café itself is airy and expansive, filled with natural light and the unmistakable aroma of freshly brewed coffee. It invites you to slow down. Tables become workstations, conversations stretch a little longer than planned, and children move comfortably through the space without anyone batting an eye. It is thoughtfully designed for real life. What makes Willow House memorable, however, isn't just the setting. It's Bryan and Judy. Their warmth is woven into every interaction, whether they're greeting a first-time visitor or welcoming back a regular by name. Having had the privilege of knowing them personally, I can say with confidence that the care they extend isn't performative. They have an extraordinary ability to make people feel genuinely seen, and that spirit shapes the entire experience. The coffee is every bit as impressive as the hospitality. My standing order is the "Salty Southerner" equally exceptional served hot or over ice, with the perfect balance of sweet, salty and smoky. The pastry case highlights locally baked treats alongside gluten-free options, and the Artie Bars have earned something of a cult following among regulars. Parking can appear limited at first glance, but don't let that discourage you. A complimentary two-hour parking garage sits just steps away, making the café surprisingly easy to access. Its location also places you within walking distance of the trails and open landscapes of Dix Park, making it an ideal stop before or after an afternoon outdoors. Willow House Coffee isn't simply a place to grab a cup of coffee. It's the kind of place that quietly reshapes your plans for the day. You come for a drink, stay for the atmosphere, and leave already thinking about your next visit. In a city filled with cafés, that feeling is what makes Willow House stand apart.

I ordered a build it your self sandwich that came out to about $10. The cost of food and the quality - I felt it was worth the pricing. Will be back to taste some of the other food items and coffee.

Not a lot of parking out front so they allow parking next door at Kings gr but they kept a line of folks. Yes it moved, don't worry. Fresh pastry variety was quite impressive. The goodies were: Vietnamese coffee donut & creamsicle donut from Red Start bakery. An apple pop tart, & blueberry cheese danish also caught my eye. Yes I got them all. There was more but a guy gotta have limits. But I'll just they were mmm mmm good. I'll have to get the donuts again. There is limited seating, and a children's play area which was so cool. I'm hard pressed to not get my jolt of Java so I got a cortado with a drizzle of caramel for a little sweetness. LOVED the flavor, would've loved it if a little hotter. My son-in-law got the Mexican Coke, vanilla espresso. It was cold and amazing as per him. My wife's latte also needed to be hotter. I'll cut the barista a break as she was a one woman show.

You can tell the quality of the drink and beans Omie's is high quality as soon as you taste it. I absolutely loved their fun and creative seasonal menu. I ordered the pumpkin pie brown butter latte, and it was so tasty. Normally, I have to ask coffee shops to reduce the sugar, but this drink was perfectly balanced. In addition, Omie's sells baked goods to complement your drink. There was a selection of tasty treats to pick from. One of my friends got a HUGE cookie, which looked absolutely delicious. As a fair heads up, parking and inside seating areas are limited. However, Omie's has done the most to maximize the space to make it a cozy place to sit. Pro tip- there is a little more seating to the left of the bathrooms, and there are several comfy spots interspersed throughout. Come for the good coffee, good vibes, and lovely service staff. I definitely know that I will be back!

Drinks: I ordered a matcha latte, iced with oat milk. I knew it was a mistake as I watched them make it and the match came out of a squeeze bottle. My mom ordered hot black coffee, claiming it tasted burnt and was undrinkable. Mains: I ordered the strawberries & cream pancakes which came with three extremely tiny pancakes, that tasted like whole wheat. The "fresh jam" was overly sugared and had a smoothie like consistency. For $16 I was hungry and disappointed. My mom ordered the grain and egg bowl, wait it was underwhelming. Shocked there are so many positive reviews.

A lot of people come here for the breakfast burritos, pancakes, and specialty lattes, so it's a solid brunch option if you want something a little elevated from the usual rotation. Service was friendly and pretty quick, even when it got busy, which I appreciated. It does get packed, especially on weekends, so just be ready for a bit of a wait.
