Wonderful little place. I have anxiety so it's very hard for me to adapt to staying in a place with new people and a new environment. I tend to go in and go out. Not the type to sit.
But I had just come from the She's fit a short walk away and needed to relax a little before returning. Sure, I was uncomfortable the first few times, but now it's my go to place to relax and work.
The people are kind and very polite, they have an interesting variety and if you don't like something they have many other things to try! Their pastries are so good... I feel calm here. It took me only a few visits to get comfortable.
I always tend to get matcha and an orzo pasta salad every Saturday I come. The atmosphere is so nice and the set up is so quaint! The area is small but doesn't feel TOO cramped.
They have an outlet with two holes for the laptop users, (currently including me).
I'm working on my nanowrimo (national novel writing month project) here at the moment and figured I'd add this in while I'm feeling in the mood to write.
One last thing.
I often deal with mild relapses in an eating disorder. Once, I mentioned I hadn't eaten breakfast while ordering the orzo pasta. She... Kinda scolded me? Saying something along the lines of "that's over twelve hours without food! You gotta eat!" Before giving me the debit machine. That... Stuck with me I guess? I'm just some random person, you don't need to be concerned. But... I come here a lot on the days I'm having trouble eating. Or at least near the area. So thanks... Whoever that was. You helped me in ways you don't know.
The power of positive...

The cafe itself has a very modern rustic style with ambient lighting and high ceiling. Not to mention it’s impeccable cleanliness . The music is quite tasteful and gives you all the feels . You can study or read quietly in the cafe and there s free wifi !!!! Friends can meet up to socialize and have privacy while at same time feel cozy and comfortable. They have a wide array of amazing baked goods that taste so yummy and lots of specialty coffee options that will keep you bedazzled . If you need breakfast options they have it too !! I really love going to cuatro , in the fall I love their pumpkin pecan muffin top which is always sold out ! The treats are so delicious and so many to choose from ! I have been going to cuatro for years now and I love supporting locally owned family business’s. The owners are whole heartedly warm, kind and inviting. The husband is always joyful and ready for a chat ! Makes you feel like family . And to add some sweetness to that the wife is so sweet and generous as well. The staff are lovely and pay attention to every detail to satisfy their customers needs. I highly recommend Cuatro if you haven’t tried it and you won’t...
Read moreTerrible coffee and overall very disappointing.
I came here on my way to work, and looking for a new coffee shop for my daily commute, as I'm sick of giving my money to *bucks. Walking in, the place looks great. Clean look, modern, and a feel of a place that takes coffee somewhat seriously. I'm thinking this place might be it.
Wrong.
They advertise drip and French press as well as the usual espresso varieties. I asked for a large dark roast, and was met with my first disappointment. They only have medium roast coffee. What?! They have an Italian coffee name, a modern coffee house feel, and serve French press, but have no dark roast? Ok. Medium it is. Then came the second disappointment. They serve their drip coffee out of hand pump vacuum carafes. You know the ones, they are really good at cooling your coffee and also making it bitter. The worker struggled to fill the cup, and came up woefully short. She was forced to then start another pot (why wasn't this done before?!?), and then proceeded to steal the first flow out of the new pot to fill mine. Of course, this made my coffee impossibly strong and the pot weak. I ended up throwing out the coffee after one sip. Yuck.
Do not go here. They are a coffee shop that knows...
