Crema's Take

“The Manic Maker is built for lingering—think actual couches, an enormous menu of creative drinks, and a freeze-dried candy selection that doubles as Instagram-worthy gifts. The bagels and pastries are legitimately excellent, and the baristas genuinely seem happy to see you, which makes this cozy downtown spot feel more like a friend's living room than a cafe. If you want specialty coffee drinks that go beyond the usual, comfy seating that encourages you to stay awhile, and food that actually deserves the hype, this is worth the visit.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

If I could rate 6 stars I would! Food, service, drinks, atmosphere are all fantastic! Not enough coffee shops have couches anymore! I'll come back here just for he couch!! Fellas behind the bar were fantastic! Have I used enough exclamation points yet?
