Crema's Take
“The cinnamon rolls here (ask for them heated) are legendary enough that regular visitors from New York time their trips around this shop's hours, and the espresso work is equally impressive with consistently smooth, well-executed shots backing up their specialty drinks. Run by genuinely warm people who've earned a near-perfect rating, Cafe 217 pairs exceptional baked goods with serious coffee in a casual food truck setup that somehow feels like the community gathering spot it's become.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
