The view is easily the best part of Alcove Coffeehouse. If you can get one of the seats by the…read morewindow overlooking Lake Lucerne, it's hard to beat. The water, trees, and quiet setting make it feel surprisingly removed from Highway 78 right outside. It's the kind of place where I could sit with a coffee for a while just for the atmosphere. The lakefront setting is definitely what makes Alcove special. I had the smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese, tomato and capers. It was fresh, filling, and perfectly decent, but the food itself wasn't particularly memorable or something I'd make a special trip back for. The coffee was good as well. I'd say the menu does its job, but the setting outshines the food. Service was pleasant and straightforward, and the overall vibe is relaxed, unpretentious and very much that old-school neighborhood coffeehouse feel rather than a polished, trendy café. I actually like that about it. For me this is more of a 3.75 than a true 4, but Yelp doesn't give us that option. The food and coffee are solid rather than exceptional, but the view is a 5/5 and absolutely worth coming for. Get a window seat, bring a book or some work, and stay awhile.

Great! Very unique…read morecoffee shop on a lakefront, making a very cozy experience and spot to hang out. Food was very good! The ham and cheese croissant is just as good as other reviews stated, flaky and flavorful. My partner got the pretzel bagel and cream cheese and it enjoyed it a lot, was very soft. I also got the Almond Joy Latte from the special menu, and it was tasty! Great blend of sweet coconut and espresso, added a little more creamer when I got home since it was a tiny bit bitter. Service was good. They let us and others know they were unfortunately out of the quiche and got our order out very quickly. Cashier seemed off/irritable but I definitely think it was because of the rush of people that came in before us. Other worker running food and drinks out was very sweet and joyful. Atmosphere is something you can't miss out on. This is such a relaxing spot I see why the parking lot is always half full even on an off day. I saw people doing school work, online work, reading, on a date, and more, truly a place for all to enjoy! Overall A. Will be back soon

Everything was delicious, but the morning bun completely stole the show. It was huge, perfectly baked, and honestly one of the best I've had in a long time.

The space is also great for getting work done, with a comfortable atmosphere that's perfect for settling in with your laptop.

The eggs on the sandwich were so salty, I almost choked and this is no exaggeration. The eggs also taste powdery. The croissant was hard and the turkey patty tasted old. The cold brew is what I primarily went for and it had a burnt taste. Lastly, I was the only person in there but waited over 15 minutes for my items. The guy was nice so I gave 2 stars but the food quality and pace of service could be better.

When I started on my journey, it was a little further than I had planned to go but my sister friend raced about the croissants. I'm a bread girlie so I trusted her opinion. It was mid afternoon, well beyond the best time to pick up a morning croissant so I inquired about what items were left. To my surprise, they had some croissants left. I requested if they could save me one and they obliged. Thru didn't have to but they said they would. And boy, I'm so glad they did! Once I returned home nearly 45 minutes away, and heated them up for a mid afternoon snack, I knew that the distance was the only reason that would save what's left of my peri-menopausal waistline. I'm not even going to share which one I tried because I'm a greedy bread girlie and I want them to be available the next time I go. Just know that you can't go wrong with ANY flavor because they were all flaky, buttery, airy---just so damn good. It WAS Paris all over again. I'm thinking about them even as I type this review. Oh my goodness. Ugghh. So good!

The home fries are really just roasted cubed potatoes and have no crisp to it. Even the "toast" was soft and barely toasted. The staff is extremely friendly and check on you regularly so that's the saving grace of this place. It's a nice diner vibe overall but the place could use a little more cleanliness especially in the restroom. Luckily there's plenty of parking and the prices are fairly cheap so the overall value is decent but do not expect high quality food.

Maybe it's a Georgia thing...but typically when dining out we have encountered parties of 6+ at certain restaurants have an automatic gratuity. It's usually listed on the menu, or on their website, or on the check.... This restaurant had neither. And when asked about the automatic tip they gave us a vague answer. My hubby is a big tipper (to my annoyance) so it kinda felt like they added the tip because they assumed we weren't going to tip. Oh well, their loss. They probably won't ever see us again. #dontstereotypeme
