    I've heard of this spot, driven by this spot.... But never stopped! I was in the area for an appt so made sure to allow time to pop in and check it out. It's super cute and clean inside. Lots of seating available inside and a nice shaded seating space out front. I was there to grab a coffee for an afternoon pick me up.... But noticed they did have yummy looking pastries available too. The gentleman behind the counter was welcoming and kind. He took my order.... An iced oatmilk latte with brown sugar and vanilla syrups. This is pretty much my go to drink (so it's easy to compare from place to place) it was delicious.... So creamy, not too sweet with the syrups and could still enjoy the coffee flavor. I'll definitely be back !!

    We love trying local coffee shops and we finally popped into this hidden gem. Not only do they serve great coffee, smoothies, pastries and even ice cream they also give back to the local community. We ordered coffee, mango smoothie, a breakfast sandwich and blueberry muffin and everything was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful with drink suggestions. It's a cute little spot and loved the ambiance it was so peaceful and home like. If you are looking for a quiet spot to grab some coffee and work on your laptop or just enjoy your company this spot is great.

    I prefer supporting family owned coffee shops and restaurants and came across this gem while looking for anything but starbucks. The guy serving us which im assuming was the owner is such a sweet person that literally pours in soul into what he does and how he serves. Super clean spot! I got the sausage sandwich, gluten free banana bread, and my new favorite the Mexican mocha! I loved it all. Highly recommend and support your local family owned businesses!

    Wow! What a great new coffee shop/cafe in Lincoln. Convenient parking and so easily accessible. The place is very beautifully done with indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is sparkling clean and so well designed, comfortable and lots of good choices for both coffee, other beverages and pastries. I understand that sandwiches will come soon. I had a 16oz latte and it was perfectly made and the coffee very good quality. This is definitely a great addition to our city. Mark the manager is awesome, and so friendly and accommodating. Please go and try it. It's well worth it!

    I saw this place when I drove around the neighborhood. I stopped by after my son's baseball game . This location is very close to Mcbean park where on the weekends it's packed with games. As soon as they saw my son in uniform they asked if he wanted a complementary ice cream cone . The lady said the kiddos in uniform get a free ice cream cone so nice . She said u deserve it buddy after your game . Once inside it was a very cozy cute set it . Very modern and chic . They offer amazing homemade pastries . We had the blueberry bread , donut and some quiche. They were all so delicious. My kiddos got hot chocolate and I got a latte . I wish it came in a cup not a to go cup but it's not a big deal . The ladies that helped us were so nice and attentive. The vibe inside is very peaceful . They have a prayer board I thought that was very sweet . When sitting down enjoying our drinks, we saw a hummingbird on the window it was so cool . They also have a nice outside seating area . We enjoyed our time here . We will be back . This is a non- profit coffee shop and all the profits raised go towards supporting: -Education through scholarships -Orphanages & life centers for refugees around the world -Bringing justice to victims of human trafficking -Supporting other local nonprofit organizations -Community outreach and events So awesome to have coffee and support a good cause .

    Cute and clean coffee shop! The staff member who took our order was kind and helpful. She recommended the blueberry coffee cake and it was delicious! We loved our white mocha extra sweet as well.

    Gluten-free and lactose-free options

    I visited this place randomly when I was in the area and I had remembered seeing it mentioned on a local FB group. It looks like a house from the outside so you may miss it if you're not looking closely. There is ample seating inside and outside. The seating in front has umbrellas and there is picnic table seating in grass in the side of the building. The inside is open and clean. It has a ton of seating even though it's a small space. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they have gluten-free and lactose-free snacks. I ordered a gluten-free blueberry coffee cake that was still moist the following day. I also ordered an iced oat milk lavender white mocha and it was so good. I would say the prices are reasonable. The two women that were working when I came in were friendly, but when I walked in they finished their conversation and didn't greet me. I hadn't been there before so I just went straight to looking at the menu. Also if there is spillage on the drink, I would have expected staff to take the initiative to clean it. (Although I had a napkin and didn't mind much). Due to those reasons, I'm not giving a full 5 stars.

    Must try!! On my quest to find the Best Independent Coffee Shop in the Sacramento Region...I may have found it! In fact, it currently holds my #1 Ranking. What a breath of fresh air East Ave Cafe is! You walk in into the freshly appointed shop and are instantly greeted by a barista. Not only instantly, but sincerely greeted making you feel welcomed as a guest of theirs. The interior is all brand new and clean feeling. Subtle music playing with plenty of places to sit. The menu is straightforward with enough choices but not too many. I ordered a large Cold Brew with toffee crunch syrup. Finally an independent shop that doesn't have the sour, fruity tasting coffee that most do in the Sac region. Lastly, and most originally, this is a Christian coffee shop where the proceeds help an adjacent church. Anyone would be welcomed, seen, and valued here though, MUCH more so than the Starbucks.

    I wanted to give this cafe a try after seeing it on yelp, and I'm so glad I did! I got a mexican mocha (left) and a toffee crunch latte (right), both with oat milk and iced! They were both really good, personally I liked the mexican mocha more. I like my coffee a little sweeter so it was perfect for me, I do wish the oat milk was a little creamier. The milk preference can be changed without charge (for now at least). The price for both drinks was $11, which is great considering other coffee places are about $7-$8 per latte. There were places to sit inside and out, and it was decorated nicely. I'll definitely be back, make sure to give them a try!!!

    New favorite spot! Iced chai is delicious. Plenty of seating - a great spot to work or read. Everyone who works there is so nice as well.

    I've come to this place many times before and I will keep coming back because it's so delicious!…read moreI've gotten a couple drinks from Roanie's but the one I got today was by far my favorite. I got the blueberry pie latte and it was so refreshing and tasted so much like blueberry I loved it. The only reason I wouldn't give it a 5 stars is because I feel like they have a little bit of a more sour (idk how to really describe it) espresso shot, maybe from a shorter brew time or an under extracted shot but nonetheless the coffee was still great. It came out quick, along with my two other friends' coffees and the seating was nice. I definitely prefer some other shops over this one but it's still a solid spot!!

    It was quite spacious and we accidentally came at the right time because it exploded with people…read moreafter. The pastries were honestly very well made and not too sweet. The pumpkin scones were buttery and not too spiced. The coffee was smooth, perfectly balanced and drinkable off the bat. The circle pastry forgot what it's called but was like a croissant and a cinnamon roll had a baby. I thought the blue Roan horse theme was so cute. I love horses myself. Everyone was very welcoming and I'll definitely be stopping by again. I'm so glad I stopped by!

    I feel so fortunate to live in a town where there are intentional spaces for people to meet up and…read morebe in community. Smithville is not only a great coffee shop, it's a spot where people can be together, linger, and have a good time with one another! I've also gone and just spent some nice time alone. Spots like this don't exist everywhere - it's more than getting just a cup of coffee. It's a place that gives me that time to slow down and breathe a little bit! I personally love the matcha with oatmilk and have had some great post-workout protein shakes. A bonus? I never feel out of place there. The owner has always been warm and welcoming, and the staff, many whom are students in the town, have been lovely as well. Ok, one more bonus. I'm one of those people who loves a comfy hoodie or cute hat from local places or places I've visited. Smithville has a great selection of cute merch!

The food, though, was a bit underwhelming. It wasn't bad, just nothing special or memorable compared to the coffee. The place itself is cute and has a nice vibe, and service was friendly, which made the visit enjoyable overall. Great spot for coffee, but I'd love to see a little more effort or creativity in the food.
