I have been to Smalltown Coffee twice and have enjoyed every visit. On our first visit, most of the…read moreseats were taken, so we sat at the counter. Our gluten-free Toffee Chocolate Scone ($3.75) was tasty. I had a Toffee Chip latte ($6.45) that was beautifully presented. My husband enjoyed his iced Bananas Foster latte ($6.45). We also tried the Strawberry Cheesecake Hand Pie ($6.50) but didn't really care for it. We came back recently, and I was disappointed that we were given everything in paper/plastic even though we ordered our food and drinks to enjoy there. I much prefer drinking out of glass if I'm visiting a coffee shop. My Stroopwaffle latte was quite tasty, but I didn't love the Jam Session latte. While the indoor seating can fill up, I noticed they have some outdoor tables as well. The pastry selection is somewhat limited, and I'd love to see some heartier breakfast options. Love their creative latte selection and commitment to quality.

Latte was very well made and I loved how you can still taste the espresso, a lot of lattes I've tried elsewhere are super milky. Very affordable and friendly staff too.

Cream cheese & a bad fried egg. Won't get food here again. The coffee is always delicious. I had a vanilla oatmilk, honey latte. I've had it iced & hot. Yummy. Great service, cute old school 90's vibes.

I ordered the egg sandwich, which arrived missing some of the listed ingredients. They were brought out later, but it definitely took away from the overall experience. The Thai tea was far too milky for my taste, and the coffee was just average--nothing particularly exciting or memorable. On top of that, the seating was very uncomfortable, which made it hard to relax and enjoy the meal. Overall, not a terrible visit, but not a place I'd rush back to. With a few improvements to food consistency, drink quality, and seating comfort, it could be much better.

My go-to food is the pulled pork sammich. This visit I had the iced Mocha latte and the Beef bomb sammich, which were good. The sammich has lots of roast beef slices, blue cheese crumbles, horseradish cheddar cheese sauce, caramelized onions, and arugula mix on a chiabatta bread. The blue cheese and horseradish cheddar are not overpowering. I'll definitely be back soon!

It honestly left me with the impression that their aesthetic was their primary focus over quality. The lattes were ok. The food selection was very limited. I was planning on getting a Veggie Sandwich, but we were told that they only had Chicken Salad. We got a piece of cake so we at least had something to eat for breakfast with our coffee, but we ended up having to find somewhere else to go afterwards with a better menu since we had already driven a half hour to give this place a try.

Farmhouse is wildly out of touch to charge an additional buck twenty for nondairy milk, imagine Wendy's and Panera Bread pricing lattes over eight bucks. We all tried our best assuming some exquisite roast and well pulled shots. But satisfaction to the java, let me remind the jury is double the cost it should be. No restroom, a small and at least pleasantly staffed espresso hobby farm, but certainly no place I could recommend even for the desperately caffeine deficient. Grab a two dollar can of Stök at the Dollar General a block away!
