Only one person sitting inside downstairs, likely because it was so beautiful outside. My espresso was a bit bland and not too hot. I asked for double (twice) but was charged for and received a single. Lemon berry scone was a bit undersized, but this was acknowledged by the cashier and he gave me a small discount without asking. Just a really nice atmosphere, inside and out. As always the staff was extraordinarily friendly and helpful to all 7 patrons I encountered.

They use a mix of Torani and 1883 syrups with creative combinations for specials. I would prefer homemade syrups but still good. I like the vibe, it is quaint and cozy.

Some businesses you walk into and they act like they're annoyed to see you. I asked her for recommendations and she recommended the eggnog latte. It was warm, sweet and delicious. But back to Kat. This lady is so friendly. She wanted to make sure that my drink was made right, she offered to add more syrup. She offered me a topper. She offered me water. So accommodating! 10 out of 10. She told me she has aspirations to own her own coffee shop one day. Initially, I thought she was the owner. Here's to you Kat! I know one day you will accomplish that goal. This is also a chill spot to hang out in and maybe get some work done. I may check it out on another day when I have a break between clients. I definitely will be returning to the spot.

Wonderful place to grab breakfast! This morning I had my first experience at Cocotte. Our order was…read morethe Saint Germaine sandwich, the breakfast croissant, and two drip coffees. The sandwich was spectacular on a wonderful crusty baguette. It wasn't heated up and made fresh about two hours before I came in most likely, so it wasn't soggy as others mentioned. It was wonderful. The flavor was very savory. My grandmother was very pleased with her breakfast sandwich! Big, flaky croissant with fluffy eggs! The coffee was not weak and I enjoyed it. Creamer was offered as a self-serve from a pitcher. It certainly felt better than opening 9 creamer cups between two people. Free water was offered at the end of the line, too. So, no waiting for a refill. I also got two pastries to go-- both were spectacular. Sweet in a savory and memorable way, rather than being over-the-top and masking fake-y ingredients with sugar like many places do. The bakers do a wonderful job. Despite the crowd and line, the employees moved quickly and kindly. Pleasantries were still exchanged and things made-to-order were out in a timely manner. The people here work very hard. It's a hectic job but they do it well and they do it without sacrificing small niceties or helpfulness. The interior was nice, too. Tables were kept clean and there was a nice area for little ones to occupy themselves while parents enjoyed their drink and meal. Books, some plushies, and pretend-play toys were there. No tablets or items that could make them hyper. I very much enjoyed my experience after a hard night and morning. Thank you to everyone that works at Cocotte for showing up and staying kind. With tip, for two people you can expect to spend around $35. Not a terrible price for a great brunch experience with great environment + people. I recommend 100%. Though, maybe come early in the morning while everything is fresh. Others have different experiences late in the day it sounds like.

I liked this chai in particular because it had a nice chai to milk ratio, and didn't taste watered down. On top of that, it was a tad spicy (in a good way, but not hot like a pepper) because of the nice flavor from the cinnamon and nutmeg. It was super tasty. I'm embarrassed how fast I finished this lol. It's one of those drinks where you get sad when it's gone. Needless to say, I'll be back! The staff was very friendly and they even have seating where you can have your laptop. They also have an area where you can bring donations. Overall, two thumbs up!!

I must say, I typically venture there "off season" when there aren't many students around. They have great food options and brunch, along with the excellent Summit coffee. You can park at the spots along the road. They tend to be quite full but we've always found a spot. Walk inside and you will wonder where the heck you are. This location is stunning and big. The decor and lighting make it feel like the cozy, chic, boutique coffee shop we all expect of Summit. They have family style tables with open seating or more private tables. They also have a patio/deck area. The Summit beer dinners take place here and if you have never been to one, I highly recommend it. We have met some fantastic folks and always have a great time and the food/beer are paired perfectly. They also serve beer on tap at this location. Hello, it's on a college campus! PBR flows freely.

The decor of the shop is cute and there are lots of seating options available both indoor and outdoor. There is free wifi available so it's a good place to get some work done. Parking was readily available and easy. Customer service: the barista who took my order was cold, direct, and rushing to finish helping me so she could go back to her family sitting in the cafe and keep talking to them. She didn't want to do her job, she continued to walk away from the counter to socialize and only walked back to the counter when someone came in. They call your food orders out rather than bringing it to you, customers buss their own tables, and I never saw any of the workers wipe off tables after people left. They have a 95 sanitation rating. Food: decent (I got the Turkey Apple Panini), but it was overwhelmed by the honey mustard and the plate still had residue on it from a previous meal (gross!). Drink: I got an iced vanilla chai. There is a previous yelp review warning against the chai tea and they were right - it did not taste like a chai, just like watered down & milky black tea. I didn't try any of their coffee drinks so I can't speak to that, but I don't have high hopes. Willow Wood Coffee would not be my first choice as there are so many other coffee shops around that have excellent food, drink, and customer service.

Visiting from out of town so I wanted to try a local coffee place. The rating and the name sounded encouraging. Only one person working so the line to order was long. We asked for the egg sandwiches featured prominently on a sign at the entrance ... and they were not available. In fact, the bakery case was nearly empty. At 8:30 a.m. The woman behind the counter suggested two of their breakfast croissants. We asked to have them heated. After a, no kidding, 10 minute wait she let us know that she had broken the oven. So we asked for them cold because we needed to go. They were dreadful. Tossed mine. And in a wonderful display of irony, even their large screen television menu failed while we were in the room. I will say that the coffee was perfectly serviceable. Experiences like this are why people go to chains like Starbucks for coffee and breakfast. I would say I want my tip back, but I suspect she is so frazzled that she earned it and then some. Absolute disaster. I hope our experience was a one off.
