Reviews
"I enjoyed a delicious Berry Smoothie while writing a letter to my youngest daughter! A very nice atmosphere with soft soothing music while many were conversing with friends, family, studying or working! This is a unique coffee shop that adjoins with Sargent on 2nd “plant shop”. As you are enjoying your beverage, you can gaze at the beautiful houseplants in the greenhouse and find a relaxing, comfy seat to enjoy your coffee; in addition, to the Cafe Aqui seating area! During the warmer season, they have outdoor seating to be offered to their guests. The plants I have purchased at Sargents on 2nd are doing so well! I would highly recommend the Cafe Aqui and Sargents on 2nd."
"Love this coffee shop! The greenhouse aesthetic is everything and the coffee is really good."
"Cafe Aqui is a wonderful hidden gem. The vibe is so serene. Whether you’re there to catch up on some work, do some shopping, or meet up with a friend, this cafe has more to offer than just lattes. The greenery will make you want to stay a while longer."
"Amazing, unique venue with fantastic coffee! All the foliage from Sargent's create a nice, relaxing atmosphere in the coffee area. If I lived in the area, I'd be here all the time!"
"One word- Yum! Our coffee was the maple cappuccino. Couldn’t have been more perfect. The chocolate chip cookies were still warm and the lemon cone was delicious too. It’s a quiet cafe with lots of individual work areas. Large are at the window to enjoy. The store itself is full of beautiful things for the holidays or your home garden, depending on the time of year. It’s currently fall- so Christmas trees, seed packets for winter seed sowing and birdseed, flower pots and bird feeders are in abundance. In the newly added on green house, your heart will find more than a few plants you need to take home. Everything is healthy and a higher quality then the grocery store plants to say the least. Plus you have experts to tell you how to care for them. The restrooms were clean, and close to the greenhouse area. The customer service at the cafe was extremely helpful and personable. They offered suggestions and explained menu options which influenced our choice, leaving us very happy trying something new. They open early and close in the evening. Can’t wait to go back."
