    I've been remiss in failing to update my Kuumba review. It's now become a staple in my life and the lives of the Riverwest and Harambee communities. The exterior space is open and very nice and the interior has added some decorative pieces. The menu changes here and there as the owners experiment with new drinks and dishes. Everything I've tried has been solid. My BF goes every weekend and spends peaceful mornings with coffee there, writing or drawing, and I'm the very lucky recipient of to-go orders on his return. Their chocolate orange vegan muffins are still standouts. What really makes Kuumba stand out is their commitment to the neighborhood(s) and the people and organizations within. They frequently host events at their space, for small groups and some larger organizations. They also host events of their own creation. They show up at community markets and fairs. Alex, in particular, is a treasure. They really stand out in the way they stand up for Haramabee and Riverwest and how kind everyone is. You can see the neighborhood kids that drop in there feel seen and respected, as do all the other customers of all ages. Kuumba does mean creativity and perhaps the reason it's such a great place to sit down and create is that it's such a welcoming, safe place to grab a cup and a bite and some time to think. Do check them out. We all need to get behind that vibe.

    Delightful place with great coffee and community-minded environment! The coffee special today was spectacular as was the soup fundraiser special. Thor outside area is ample and the whole place exudes warmth, care, and creativity. A hop away from the MCTS 15 route!

    Large, clean and friendly indoor space ‍

    I'm going to have to say I am beyond delighted that I needed an oil change and tire rotation and headed right next door to this gem. Ambiance, customer service, locally owned, beautiful outdoor spaces, and great coffee. I'm giving it a 6!

    They have some food options and known for their smoothies and coffee options. I think it's a great place to hang out and do some work at a local new coffee shop! Totally would go there again!

    Cute place with very friendly service! Had a smoothie, breakfast sandwich (with jam!), and a cold brew. All were delicious! Really want to try the peanut stew sometime too.

    Matilda Bakehouse - Cinnamon roll

    This quaint little bakehouse never gets old. On the latest visit, my kiddos were excited to try a…read morecinnamon roll knot (I think that was what it's called), covered in frosting. I mean what kid wouldn't be excited for that? So many freshly-made options to choose from, and this one was a winner. Definitely a very sweet-treat, and worth splitting a handful of ways, but boy was it tasty! I also grabbed a latte for myself, which I always enjoy here. I will say however, I wish they had other milk options beyond oat and whole milk. I say this with no means to complain, but both of those milk are very 'heavy' so whenever something like skim or almond is available, that's a personal preference for sure. Love the community feel here, love the goodies, will return.

    Saturday, December 2025: My husband and I stopped at Matilda Bakehouse for a coffee and snack. The…read morestaff were very friendly and the cafe is spacious. They had a variety of baked goods to choose from- we opted for the cinnamon roll and the seasonal danish. We also ordered a cappuccino and an americano. The baked goods we had were okay. We were disappointed they wouldn't heat up the cinnamon roll, the reason they gave us was because the frosting would run and be messy. So the cinnamon roll wasn't very enjoyable. I liked the filling on the seasonal danish but I asked for it heated up and it was served at room temp. The coffee was good- we both thought it was weak for our liking but it had good flavor. Also to note, this place is very family-friendly. When we were in, there were a lot of children and families enjoying the space. I would love to come back and try the monkey bread; they were sold out when we arrived this morning and we were told it's a top-seller.
