For today's visit, I only got iced coffee, but the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the drink choices. My iced mocha latte was flavorful and refreshing for a nice summer afternoon. I saw that they had other food and pastry items in addition to indoor seating. I also liked that there were various payment options, which included Apple Pay or card tap, however, the function wasn't working properly, so I paid with my card. Not their fault as technology is faulty sometimes.

Café Kopi is one of our favorite places to get a coffee and hang out. When we were there, they had a fun option of board games which we enjoyed with our drinks.

I go to Kopi for a number of reasons. They are within walking distance, I like their coffee and scones and I value the fact that they have been serving the community for decades. I appreciate that the barisas do their best, it isn't as easy a job as some people think! There are some homeless people but they do not bother anyone. After all it is the downtown area. Overall I feel very comfortable in this place. I only wish I could find some people willing to talk instead of looking at their screens.

These guys poured us the most amazing lemonade I've ever had! Kiwi watermelon lemonade, wow what a mix! Typically lemonades are too sweet and one note lacking the fruity balance but not here, would've drained multiple glasses thankfully for my wallet had to get moving but only after we noticed a fun loving wide brown space. Lots of games in these enchanted half remodelled wooden rooms to try out with friends, good service, easy rewards program, quiet enough to work and lots of tables, but like most downtowns the parking situation is tricky. We sampled the lemon poppy seed cake, excellent and moist rich flavors. My horchatta latte was fine but didn't do horchatta much at all, seemed to be overwhelmed by coffee. Will have to try other brews, this is an easy option for Champions quality espresso station selections.

Have been there several times for breakfast in 2023 summer break. Really have mixed feelings for it. Indeed, the price, the stuff and most menu items are nice. For example, a breakfast sandwich (e.g., the sunrise) which comes with choice of bread, eggs, cheese, veggie and/or meat only costs $7.50, a side salad was only $2. They also offer different choices of other sandwiches; those such as fresh mozzarella, open-faced grilled cheese or goat cheese crostini are not only hard to find in other places in town, but they are also presented in an appetizing, appealing way (see my photos). If you want to go healthy you can choose salad plate or pita entree. The stuff was also pretty nice -- well, the service was not quick as some of them were not familiar with the kitchen, but they are always polite to the customers, give suggestions on ordering food, and fullfil my requests generously. For example, the first time I ordered tuna salad on baby greens I thought there was pita on the side, but actually it was just salad. When I asked about the kitchen stuff, she immediately gave me a pefectly toasted pita. However, the food quality needs improving. For example, sometimes the greens was not fresh enough, or sometimes the carrot on the side of my sandwich was still frozen. Hopefully they could use better bread as well, e.g., some very sweet whole wheat bagel does not seem to be a good choice for breakfast sandwich.

Just what the doctor ordered for great coffee and breakfast without the crazy lines and screaming kids at a pancake house. Just students and other college kid families. The barista was friendly and gave a heads up on the wait for food and bev. We grabbed a seat in the spacious dining area and they called us up for drinks and brought out the food. The ambiance is schoolhouse chic, with pieces from your grade school and local art for purchase. Our lattes were great and the sandwiches were served warm and gooey and spot on. The cinnamon roll from a local bakery? Terrific!
