Crema's Take
“Artshack Cafe thrives on its creative studio surroundings and used to distinguish itself by serving coffee in handmade ceramic mugs from the adjacent pottery studio, though recent ownership changes have unfortunately stripped away some of that character. The space still delivers solid espresso drinks and a genuinely cozy atmosphere for working or meeting friends, with attentive service and thoughtful touches like temperature-adjusted hot chocolate for kids. If you're drawn to cafes with artistic soul and aren't too precious about consistency, it's worth a visit—just know that what made this place special to regulars is no longer guaranteed.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

cute cafe for the ceramic studio vibes. The part I loved the most is that you can drink your coffee and water out of the ceramic mugs that the studio made.
It’s a nice work space and coffee cafe. Unique vibes, art pieces are well chosen and it definitely has a good feel to the place. The coffee is pretty good, a 8.0 cortado, they use La Columbe Coffee and it suffers from the same pitfalls as their roasting but overall is was a good…
