Atmosphere & Decor

"The decor was very tasteful."
"The second floor is so beautiful. Perfect place to chill and have a coffee this winter."
"Chill atmosphere."
"The atmosphere is outstanding."
"A corner cafe with a classy casual feel to it, One Shot Cafe is a great place to sit down and read a book."
Cons:
"But we warned the music is very distracting and the people here currently are loud."
"The atmosphere is alright but the service isn’t good at all."
"The ambiance was diminished somewhat by one loquacious, overbearing employee, presumably the manager, whose lack of tact with coworkers and guests, stood out from an otherwise 5 star brunch."
"The atmosphere is everything in this place, a mixture of kitsch, apothecary, and vintage coffee shop/general store."
"Beautiful decor and lots of space, but EXTREMELY overpriced food and underwhelming coffee."
"The atmosphere was so nice, it was so cute inside, and great service!"

"The baristas had a fun energy and great personality that got our day started off right!"
"One of the nicest staffs I have meet in any cafe."

"Super friendly staff."
Cons:
"I really wanted to like this place. I went there the other day and my server whose gender I cannot identify (not that I care but want to be specific) had extremely BAD body odor."
"Horrible service please avoid."
"The server behind the counter wasn't the most pleasant."
"Staff not friendly at all."
"The service is unapproachable."
"Refused to give a glass of water while I was dining in. They said that it was their POLICY not to provide cups of water but I was free to purchase a bottle of water."
"The people here were never warm to me."
Food & Drinks
Pros:
"Great coffee but food can be a hit or miss."
"Great food."
"The coffee is great."
"The coffee was fantastic (so much so that we had to go buy some of our own!)."
"Amazing coffee and specialty drinks."
"The product was absolutely delicious and still piping hot!"
"Americano had the perfect amount of foam and my girls oat milk latte met the seal of approval."
Cons:
"So now that I've been forced to spend a $1.50 fee to use your (in)convenient ATM machine to buy my cup of coffee, you don't offer a refill price for customers that wish to have their ceramic 'for here' drip coffee mug refilled."
"The coffee is too strong."
"Both sandwiches were greasy and subpar at best."
"The huevos racheros, which are essentially nachos, are an inedible heap of fried chips."
"Their cookie dough for their brookie is Pillsbury, actually."
"The sausage tasted like ground beef!! It was horrible."
"When the food arrived my avocado toast was sub par, more lettuce than avocados."
Pricing & Value
Pros:
"While their prices are generally in the higher end to nearby equivalents, I feel the quality matches so I always end up coming back."
"The coffee, the baked goods and the food was affordable and delicious."
"GRREEEAAATTTT food that is a little less expensive than the other well known diners around here."
"They’re also on the top good to go app and I got a few good pastries for $4 at the end of the day."
"Had the oat milk honey cold brew and a cappuccino. Both were great!"
"A few items I get here regularly: Chorizo burrito, Tom's dirty chai, the ultimate, and the banana walnut muffin. All are excellent, and good portion sizes."
"Not only is the food fresh and tasty, the variety of options ensures there is something for everyone."
Cons:
"However, I just paid $6.10 for a small iced coffee with almond milk. That pricing is simply preposterous."
"I’m just bummed that I paid $14 for average coffee and bagel / not what I asked for."
"Just wish they didn’t charge so much extra for Oat Milk."
"Paid $8 for a cup of coffee."
"I paid $39 for two sandwiches and two drinks!!!! That’s not right."
"This place is extremely overpriced even compared to other local cafes."
