Crema's Take
“Buona Caffe feels like stepping into a cozy fairytale nook where espresso drinks genuinely shine—regulars rave about lattes bursting with flavor and the thoughtful craft behind each cup. The vibe is warm and unhurried whether you're camping out by sun-filled windows to study or grabbing a quick spiced pear latte, with a genuinely welcoming staff and that rare quiet atmosphere that actually lets you breathe.”

We got 4 hot chocolates and a spiced pear latte today. The latte was amazing, full of flavor. But the hot cocoa was just steamed milk with a hint of chocolate. Idk if it was suppose to be like that or if they were just made wrong. I give the 4 stars for the Spiced pear latte and ambiance itself.
If you’re looking for a local hidden gem, this is it! The café has a cozy, fairytale-nook vibe with a friendly, calm, and usually quiet atmosphere. It’s perfect to study during the weekday and hang out with friends on the weekends, making it a great spot for college students and locals alike. The food is amazing, especially their quiches and pesto sandwich. There was also another sandwich with a spicy sauce that I can’t remember the name of, but it was a favorite every time I visited. I used to bring my toddler almost every day to sit on the patio, and he loved being outside! I’ve also seen others bring their kids to read or do homework, along with a few pets. The employees are kind, provide great customer service, and always make my iced lattes exactly how I ask. I haven’t been in a while since I moved farther away, but it’s still my favorite café to visit!
Nice local coffee shop with fast service and great relaxing atmosphere. Lattes are amazing.
Stopped by Buona Caffe for the first time and honestly… it was a whole vibe. The atmosphere was super welcoming the moment I walked in. Tons of seating options near the window if you love natural light, or away from the window if you’re trying to tuck away and get work done. They really thought about comfort and space. I tried their pumpkin spice brown sugar matcha with oat milk, and it was so smooth. Sweet, cozy, and perfectly balanced you taste the matcha, not just syrup. Definitely a fall-flavored pick-me-up done right. For food, I grabbed the spinach egg-white mozzarella croissant and a cinnamon roll. The croissant was warm, soft, and surprisingly light the egg whites and mozzarella worked together better than I expected. And the cinnamon roll? Soft, sweet, and exactly what you want when you’re treating yourself a little. Overall, Buona Caffe feels like a spot you could actually settle into whether you want to sip slow, study, pray, read, or just breathe. Great drinks, solid food options, and a staff that makes you feel at home. Would I go back? Absolutely.
In town for a quick visit and decided to try this spot out. I had a breve vanilla latte and a turkey sandwich. Every thing was great. The staff was inviting and friendly. The cafe was clean and quiet. I will definitely be back.
