There's a small seating area inside but plenty outside. Parking is on the street and nearby lot. I tried the coffee toffee crunch and it was really good. Not too sweet and a good amount of toffee.

I got my usual iced coffee and thought it was just fine. I couldn't quite put my finger on the after taste. Almost a bit smoky or noticeable roasted flavor. There is a lot of seating available to linger and enjoy your beverage. Overall a pleasant experience but wouldn't be my top stop in the area for an iced coffee.

I also tried their vegan chocolate glazed old-fashioned donut. Great spot for meeting with friends or doing work. They have a huge collection of board games to play as well!

Hey Sugar... Oh that…read moredon't sound right coming from me. Anyhow, I recently needed a place to hangout as I had my car in the shop. I love local coffee joints so stroll by, took a look and gave it a go. Nice, little, quaint shop. Only a few seating spots, but that was fine with me since I got a spot. Of course yelp told me what to do. - Iced Shakerrado + mint - Good. Love me some mint in my coffee. - Chocolate Crossiant - I should be watching carbs, but I just had to... this was yum. Totally worth it.. mentally and emotionally. Physically I don't know. I am pretty sure I'll be coming here in the future since well, I still need regular oil changes and such... But until next time. Stay cute. Stay alive.

This visit, I got a Bourbon Caramel Iced Coffee and my husband got a Hot Chai Latte. The Chai was on the sweeter side but had good flavor. My coffee was the perfect caffeine strength but it could have used a bit more syrup flavoring. Overall, the staff member who helped us was great and very kind! I'd love to come back and try one of their customer favorites.

The chicken sandwich is deli meat not a nice breast. They can't make eggs as they come premade for the sandwiches. They don't have decaf tea but nice assortment of coffee. Service is order at counter and tip the order taker. They brought one item to our table but no utensils or napkins. The other items we had to go pick up (and they were empty not busy). Big signs telling you to clean the table when you leave. Why did I tip 20%?

The food is consistently incredible, and the portions are huge...you'll definitely be taking some home for lunch the next day. One thing that really sets Cucina Bella apart is the layout and atmosphere. They have three distinct seating areas, and each gives you a totally different experience. If you're looking for a more upbeat, lively vibe, grab a table near the bar. For a quieter, more romantic date night, the main dining room is perfect. They also have an overflow dining area, which is great when they're busy (and they usually are for a reason). The wine selection is excellent, and the bar staff can make just about any cocktail you're in the mood for. Whether you're celebrating something special, going out on a first date, or just want a great Italian meal, this place delivers every time. If you're anywhere near Algonquin and craving Italian, this spot is an absolute must!
