Crema's Take
“Al's Coffee Shop trades on genuine warmth from the owner and reliably fresh salads, but it's consistently hamstrung by slow service—multiple regulars report 1.5-hour waits and 15-20 minute delays even for simple orders, which undercuts the "quick grab" promise. If you're local and willing to order ahead, the food quality and friendly staff might justify a visit; otherwise, the 3.7 rating reflects real operational friction that outweighs the charm.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

From the moment you walk in the kindness of the manager/owner taking the orders greets you with a smile on his face. The food is always made right and the place is always quick with the orders as he remembers your orders from previous times. Amazing service.
I don't like to put bad reviews but for a place that's so close to my work place there's no reason for my food to get to me 1 hour and a half later.. and it's not the first time. If it werent for the decent price food I would've ordered somewhere else. Heads up, I'd order an…
I go here in the mornings solely for convenience of being right next to work, but unless you order ahead of time, and then give them another 15-20 mins then you won't get your food "on time." Today, I waited 30 mins for a few croquettas and one empanada.. any other day just…
