I pretty much would try everything on this menu and trust that it would be delicious. Everyone working there is also very nice! Great place for a friend meet up, co-working space, or solo date.

Parking: IS FREE at either the front or back cement/gravel lot (NOT THE DECK) or steet parking. Always double check signage!

The Hobbyist is such a cute cafe! My boyfriend and I wanted to enjoy some coffee while getting some…read morework done, and we stumbled upon this spot. It has such a calm vibe with plenty of seating inside and some outdoors as well. I loved that they offer seasonal drinks alongside their classics and food options. We opted for a cortado, a vanilla lavender matcha, and a chicken chorizo breakfast burrito. Everything tasted delicious and was served fast. We sat for around an hour working on our laptops and weren't interrupted. There were people chatting as well, so it's a great space to do both. I absolutely loved the fact that you can get other drinks too, since they have a large selection of wines and seltzers. Everyone we talked with was super sweet--I can't wait to visit again!

I have been really wanting to try this space as they have wine as well! Parking was very limited as…read morethe coffee shop shares a building with multiple other tenants making it hard to find a parking spot with all the action in the area. Prior to going here I looked up their menu on their website and IG trying to decide what I wanted to order. I decided on the ube vanilla latte but they did not have that on their menu as it's on the fall menu that drops in a week or so from now. I felt like there was quite a bit of false advertising going on. However, I did order a vanilla latte and it was really good! It tasted like a vanilla ice cream cone!

Qahwah House was such a cool coffee shop! As a history and coffee nerd, I can honestly say that I…read morethink that this was the first time that a coffee shop made me smarter. That's because they had a huge map outlining the historical trade routes that coffee beans were transported on, as well as an homage to some of the patrons of coffee cultivation. They backed up these historical displays with great customer service, a solid cup of coffee, and a truly mesmerizing ambiance. I've been to so many coffee shops in my life, and Qahwah House was the first time, if not ever, then definitely in a long time, that I felt like I experienced something unique. I loved it. Overall, I loved Qahwah House, and I'll assuredly be back as soon as I can. I'd also recommend it to anybody looking for something new to experience!

Service was fast you order with them and sit down until they buzz you. Parking is a little tough here as there lot is undergoing construction. There is street parking but weekends might be tough. It feels like another world when I sit enter this place and sit down. Nice place to hang out with friends and play board games or catch up.

We ordered a few donuts vanilla glaze, honey, cinnamon and smores. Service was slow but the donuts are made fresh to order so, it's worth the wait.

My husband was all about the powdered sugar, noted that it "hit the spot". We split the honey glaze, it was great when it was dipped in to my hot coffee.

There is free side street parking if you come early enough to snag one. The DJs and people were a VIBE. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. Service was SLOW. They only had 2 bartenders and tbh, that took up about 45min in itself just to get a drink. I feel like for an event, at least 3 bartenders would do the trick. The thought of having to wait that long at the bar jist to grab a drink, made me not want yo drink. I only got 2 and called it a night with drinks. Bartender wasn't too friendly. No wine and water is in a self serve jug which half the time it was empty and you jad to fight your way through the crowd just to get a cup of water. If they would have more bartenders, they would make more money but maybe next time. The venue was nice, very hot so we ended up outside just dancing. Not sure if I would come again for an event.
