Crema's Take

Chapbook Cafe is a quiet, studious hideaway perfect for settling in with quality espresso drinks and pastries, though service can be inconsistent and food allergies require extra vigilance at the counter. The calm atmosphere and friendly staff make it a beloved weekend spot for locals who don't mind the premium pricing, though some customers have experienced frustrating delays between ordering and receiving their coffee. If you're looking for a cozy, contemplative coffee experience with solid drinks and baked goods, it's worth a visit—just communicate clearly about any dietary restrictions.

I absolutely love this little cafe, but beware if you have food allergies. Got an absolutely phenomenal sandwich, but they left on the ingredient I wanted removed and now I'm covered in hives. Otherwise the staff is very kind, the food is amazing, and the ambiance is perfect, still my favorite spot.

The atmosphere is nice and even when busy the seating area is quiet enough to comfortably work in. The issue is the food is quite expensive for what you get. I ordered a chipotle chicken sandwich for $16 and it arrived with sad lettuce, thin slices of tomato, one slice of chicken, and regular mayo. I guess the chicken may have been the chipotle part but it was disappointing for the price. Good coffee though.

We ordered cake, a double espresso, and a cafe mocha. They gave us our slice of delicious cake. We finished it and didn't get our coffee order until 20 minutes later. It was pretty ridiculous. At one point, the people behind the counter were not making coffees. I don't think someone who orders drinks should have to wait until someone's sandwich or food order is being filled before getting their coffee. That seems to be what was happening.

I usually love it. I come most weekends to do homework. I wanted something sweet today and I asked the cashier if what I wanted had cinnamon. Because Im allergic. They told me no. And served it to me. The whole top was covered in cinnamon crumbles.

The Chapbook Cafe is such a cozy spot! The food and drinks are delicious; my personal favorite order is a hot chai latte with a scone! As an added bonus, the employees are friendly and quick to whip up your order! 11/10, would recommend.
