I arrived during their quieter time, just after 12:30pm, so there's were no lines and I had the opportunity to talk to one of the baristas about latte options. I decided on a peppermint white mocha latte and got an iced vanilla latte with almond milk for my coworker. I also picked up a raspberry muffin, which was staring me in the face, lol! The shop is pretty spacious, with lots of seating (sofas and comfy chairs, too), and I could see why people would want to hang out while enjoying their purchases. The staff was super friendly. We both enjoyed our drinks and the muffin was tasty, too (a bit better after heating it up a bit). I'm so glad I found such a cute coffee shop near work!

I was in the shopping center and saw the promo for a free donut with a drink so I thought I'd give…read morethis location another shot. I walked up to all the interior lights out and no one to be seen inside, so I thought they may have been closed. However, the open sign was on and flashing. So I checked the schedule, and even though it was 622 p.m. on a wednesday, it said they were open until 7:00 p.m. . Strange! I pulled on the door and it was open. But again, no one to be seen. So I opened the door and walked in worried and alarm was going to go off or something, to see the two employees were sitting in the floor behind the counter chatting. It almost looks like they were hiding so we would think they were closed. Once I said hello, they popped up and said hello and we're friendly enough. When I commented that I thought they might have been closed because all the lights were out, they said yeah, we're closing soon. I figured I'd order a donut while I was there. But the shelves were almost empty! I picked one of the donuts that was left and headed out. IMHO, definitely not worth going back and needs better management/ownership, but this is my first time back in a while, let me know what you think!

As an iced latte fanatic, some of my favorites include the gingerbread and pollinator lattes.

The lily sandwich and the egg and cheese biscuits are my go-to's though!

I was there with my young daughter so she grabbed a bottled lemonade and a fix decorated sugar cookie. I got a cortado with a chocolate croissant to dip in. We sat at the hightop seating in front of the coffee counter. I liked the pace and offerings of this cafe and I would definitely go back. I want to try one of their affogatos!

Honestly it's more of a 3.5 but round-up-able enough for me…read more My son had a thing at Randolph Macon during spring break. He needed lunch before we hit the road home. After looking for someplace close we found cafe54. SUPER close to campus. My eggs were ok. The corned beef hash was the canned kind just like I like it, because some stuff you can make fresh and fancy up but that preservative, war time taste just hits and you know I'm right. I had coffee that would put hair on your chest. and an Arnold palmer that was kind of watery. Oddly enough I found those traits acceptable. My son had french toast. This is only the 3rd time he's had it (by choice) and he really enjoyed it. While brunch/lunch was a 3.5 in my book it was a 5 for him There is no tap to pay but they do take the usual cash and card. So just don't forget your cards in your pants pockets and you'll be ok. The place was bright and airy with outdoor seating and the service was just ok. Decent place. You should go in a try it out.
