Crema's Take
“Penelope's has earned some genuine fans for its iced banana latte and strong Greek coffee, plus a genuinely spacious layout that works for lingering, but the 3.9 rating reflects real inconsistency—several reviewers noted that the food is underwhelming (dry pastries, burritos that don't deliver on their descriptions) and the service friendliness varies noticeably. It's worth trying if you're in the neighborhood and want a solid coffee drink, but don't expect revelatory food or reliably warm hospitality.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Nice looking, coffee was good, but food was honestly pretty standard- or maybe it’s what I had. You tip but not sure why to be honest, because they weren’t friendly either. It was just a slice of bread, toasted, avocado with soft egg on top, sprinkled with a lot of pepper.…
Cute and spacious cafe with a wide selection of coffee / tea and food. I especially love their Greek coffee on a day I’m desperate for a lot of caffeine; it’s extremely strong / concentrated, similar to Turkish coffee. I’m not quite adapted to the flavor yet — or the large…
Came here with my boyfriend to work and such a great place! Good: - Easy ordering, nice staff with great recs - The coffee is so good! I liked the mocha - The Womlette's were so unique - we had the apple sausage and bacon one - the unique part is that the meat is baked into the…
Ordered 2 of the hickory smoked bacon burrito, both pictured. It should be called an egg burrito. There’s next to no bacon, at first I thought it was forgotten. But it’s just tiny specks of it and you can’t taste the flavour of bacon at all. The hash was cold, as if it was made…
