Five stars for the friendly staff, quick drinks, ample of seating, and bright ambiance…read more Three stars for the beverages we ordered. The moka spice latte was pretty decent but what we thought would be a show stopper, the Dubai chocolate latte, was just too sweet. And not like a rich chocolate sweet but felt like an overload of sugar with a hint of oiliness from the chocolate. Would not recommend especially at the steep price of the drink. We also asked for hot lattes but they were lukewarm at best. I'm still curious about their chai so we might return but will pass on the espresso drinks for now. If we try them again, I would try another flavor and would also select the iced option.

She took an idea of a coffee and made the most delicious and nutty pistachio latte! There are plenty places to sit and gather or work solo while smelling the amazing aromas of all the coffees. Located in a plaza, there is plenty of parking. They offer sandwiches and sweet treats as well, the baklava is homemade! To date, my fav place for coffee is my kitchen but Chateau will definitely see me often!

I ordered a hot drink, but an iced drink was set down in front of me and the barista mumbled something that I couldn't hear without really making eye contact, so I wasn't sure it was mine. She then looked at me with an unfriendly expression and said "that's yours". When I said I had ordered it hot, she just kind of stared at me. I felt uncomfortable, so I asked if it came in hot and all she said was "yeah" and looked around like she was annoyed at the thought of remaking one, so I said it was fine and took the iced drink. There was no apology for the mistake. Afterward, I watched her walk up to the cashier and say, "she said she ordered it hot," and they talked about it in a way that seemed like they didn't believe me which made me feel even more uncomfortable. I took my drink outside and went in a few times to get my food, napkins, and water and they were both usually gone in the back. The whole interaction felt rude and dismissive. The coffee wasn't great, it didn't taste like the flavoring at all, and the coffee beans tasted burnt. A drink plus a breakfast sandwich came out to almost $20. I won't be coming back.

Couple running groups, students studying, OSU women's gymnastics team, etc. Got through line quickly and order was prompt. What a great selection of the basics plus seasonal concoctions.

I really love this place as it has a ton of seating, There are two levels and students come here to study and work in groups. The have so many different drinks and food to choose from lattes, drip coffee, pour over coffee, smoothies, tea, ice cream, breakfast pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and hot chocolate to name a few. We ordered the Lavender Honey Latte and the Caramel & Vanilla Latte but the coffee was delicious. Both had the right amount of flavors, it was served with at the right temperature. It came quickly as well. Overall, we would come here again next time we are in town. Next time, I'll be sure to order the Barista Flavor of the Day.

With that said, there is a very hometown feel when you walk into this place. The staff are very kind and seemingly gentle spirited. The ordering process is intimate and quick and then there are expansive seating options just around the corner. The drip coffee was amazing! Robust but not bitter. The breakfast burrito was also delicious, the sausage makes it crave-able. The cinnamon roll was decent, not my favorite cinnamon roll due to perhaps a citrus flavor experience I could have lived without. It may have been better had I asked for it to be warmed. (But I'm not a fan of having to warm a cinnamon roll in order for it to be good)

He was damn good in making the coffee, everytime I took my coffee from there it was with the same taste and awesome. He was also so good in greeting the people and helping them with their orders. But IDK what happened and I am not seeing that guy anymore there. Now some new persons are serving there and running. Literally since then I am missing my BLUE OWL CAFE AU LAIT so much. The people now serving there are not doing there job seriously and ruining my morning mood daily. I am liking the taste at all. I really asked if it's possible to do something for that, otherwise no problem there are more coffee places. I just really wish you guys could do better with that guy. Also one more incident I would like to share that the person now serving is literally not taking the job seriuosly becuse he gave me my coffee cup with the bigger lid which wasn's fit on the cup at all and that I wasn't aware of. When I drank my coffee it was all over me with that lid, so you can now understand what is happening. I am not very happy btw. Thanks though.

Galley-like set up as you walk in. Breakfast diner vibes more than 'cafe and bakery'. Kitchen to your left as you walk down short corridor into cafe. Sloth-like chill attitude encouraged; the hashtag is #letshangtogether. Had fun looking at all the little sloth decor throughout. Lots of light and glass. VERY limited seating; seats about 15 (?) inside; mostly 2 tops and a 6 top. When we walked in, we were greeted warmly, permitted to sit where ever we would like, then handed menus. Turkish music playing was just a bit too loud. Hospitality. Friendly and helpful. Owner-chef seemed very happy to be there, singing and engaging with his regulars. Offerings. Basic breakfast and lunch items with Turkish and Mediterranean classics. No flavored lattes but other basic espresso drinks offered. Chai was excellent. Had the Turkish coffee because it was a Turkish joint; was REALLY good; strong. We had the Simit Platter; sesame-like NY bagel, feta chunks, and olives. All very good. See pics. Apparently they offer cooking classes, catering, and meal prep pick-up -- for ever-changing healthier, fresh, easy-prep take-out options. Of Note and Last Impressions. Lot parking. Overall, fun.

It was tasty and even better with the bread they provided. It could've been packaged in a better way because the oil dripped out everywhere by the time we got it home. Maybe a plastic container with a tight fitting lid. The mezze platter was also quite nice, especially the carrot appetizer. The bulgur patties were also flavorful. The artichoke was slightly disappointing because it didn't have any other flavor than salt and vinegar, similar to canned/bottled artichokes. The salad was fresh and the dressing was light. Overall, this was a light and tasty lunch.
