    Cute small coffee shop. They have a special blend of coffee made by Anodyne. The baristas were nice and also offered recommendations. They have plenty of syrups to choose from and specials throughout the week. It was a little pricey as they charged 75 cents for each single pump of syrup and extra for ice as you can see from the receipt. It was still great coffee but just a little pricey.

    Just love how cozy Sprocket cafe is! It's one of my favorite spots to come and work at on gloomy days. The cafe gives off such homey vibes. I'm not a huge coffee drinker so I usually stick to tea or some mixed drink but they do serve their own toast from Anodyne. If you're looking for a local spot that really knows their customers this might be the spot. And there's some variety of bagels, donuts, sandwiches and baked goods to choose from. The staff are incredibly kind.

    Sprocket Cafe is a quaint, quirky little coffee shop on KK serving up coffee made with Anodyne beans. They also serve up cakes from The Cake Lady as well as a variety of sandwiches and breakfast/lunch bites. When I've gone, however, it was mainly for coffee, which as I mentioned is made with Anodyne beans and definitely solid. I like to enjoy my coffee in-house as their space is decorated with an eclectic variety of vintage items (including a black & white tube TV!). It truly is a charming little coffee shop. It is small, so might not be the best spot if you're wanting to have a somewhat confidential business meeting. It also probably wouldn't be the best spot for large groups looking to stay and sip. The service when I've been in is a skosh on the slower side, but it's a small spot and while I've been there, there was only one person working. So, if you're wanting quick in and out kind of coffee, probably not your spot. If, however, you're wanting to leisure over a cup of steaming Anodyne coffee in a delightful environment? Get to it!

    This is my favorite little local coffee joint. They have a great vintage vibe with an awesome choice of hot drinks and it's a bonus that the cake lady has a different cake on offer there every weekend. They also do a free little library and you can donate some of your books back at them. Give 'em a try

    This cafe is a hidden gem and I wonder why I haven't found it sooner! If you're into the moody maximalism aesthetics, this place is it. It has a cozy atmosphere to it. Although very limited seating, it's still a nice and cute place to have a quick catch up sesh, or get some work done here. They also have free secondhand books up for grabs; a huge plus. We had their Eggs Sam bagels, caramel latte and mocha with a shot of espresso. Worth the $22 breakfast, in my opinion. Service was friendly and helpful, too! Definitely trying their pastry next, which looked delicious.

    I came here for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised! The sandwich I ordered was amazing! The bread is freshly baked at a local bakery. The outside had a nice toast and the inside was nice and light. The sriracha mayo had the perfect amount of kick to it. The onions and mixed greens on top were very fresh. The sliced chicken was very thing and only about 3-4 slices, so it should have a little more. The service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere is a small coffee shop style. Looks like a great place to hang out!

    Reclaimed lumber and furniture give it a quirky kitsch appeal.

    This is a great little laid-back neighborhood coffee shop. The decor is mid-century disorganized. ;-) Random 1950's kitchen tables and chairs are the seating, as well as a well-worn couch. There are vintage bicycles, parts, and signs on the walls to add visual interest. The mugs are mismatched and interesting too. They have a partnership with Sprocket antique shops next door, so perhaps the decor will rotate (hint hint to owner). There are a few baked selections from East Side Overstock nibble on. And they have Gelato! Try the Affogato, a shot of espresso over a tiny scoop of vanilla, chocolate, or espresso flavor ice cream. Coming here feels more like visiting my grandma's kitchen than coming to a commercial establishment. And that's a good thing! Stop in for a quiet cup of joe!

    Love this place. I always get the iced latte with the coffee ice cubes and the bike club sandwich. They make them fresh to order and have this aoli sauce they use that I always make sure to get extra of! They also have bagel sandwiches, sweets, and a wide array of drinks and teas.

They even had unique cookies I'd never seen before but instantly wanted to taste. It's definitely the kind of bakery you'll want to come back to again and again just to sample something new each time.

And the Yelp reviews and pics were right on target. I wanted to get so much more, but I was ready to bust a gut (meaning my stomach was filled to 100%). So I settled on a mini cassata cake which had hints of lemon, it was really sweet and gooey which I happen to like by the way. I also selected a mini Boston cream cake and the outer chocolate was a bit too thick and as a result, the cake itself got smushed as I tried to cut into it. I still ate it and it was good tasting nonetheless. Finally, it was my first time being here and I thought the lady could a been a wee bit more friendly. I mean, it was not that busy and if you turn on a little charm, people tend to buy more. At least I do, I'm a sucker around friendly and kind people. All in all, I will be back because the mini cakes were good.

They also offer a great variety in rolls and potato salad. On my first visit, I also got a couple of condiments from Boar's Head that I've never seen at the store, and they are very good. My husband tried the crawlers and he quickly became a fan. On my second visit, I placed an order online in advance, and also called to confirm my order but when I got there they didn't have my order, and they didn't know about me order either. Fortunately I was there early so they could fulfill the order very quickly. Overall, the service is OK. The store is clean and organized. Tip: Get there early, or you will be waiting in line that goes all the way out to the parking lot...even in winter!

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.

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.
