The cappuccino was excellent and they currently give you the choice between three beans for your espresso: June, Domestique, and Red Bike.
The ham and cheese croissant is delicious, buttery, and flaky.
The ambiance here is top notch. This clearly used to be a home. And each of the different rooms on the first floor now contain cozy seating options. Plenty of comfortable seating options.
The back area behind the coffee shop has been built out into a fantastic back deck and pergola. They have even built a little stage! Hopefully some nice musical acts out there at some point. They have string lights all over the place, so I am looking forward to seeing what it's like out there during the evening.
And they have a full bar! Their current cocktail selection is impressive. The Catch No Feels is refreshing and perfect for this summer weather. And the old fashioned was very good, though it would have been even better on a big, single ice cube.

Read moreA wonderful space to work, meet for coffee, or (coming soon, as of May 2025) grab a drink and a bite to eat from a food truck. The space features multiple rooms, beautifully appointed with classic decor in the front and modern in the back, with a spacious front porch and a sprawling, quiet back patio with sun, shade, and a stage for performances. If one room is too quiet, too loud, too dark or too light, it's easy to find another space to do your thing while enjoying stellar coffee and pastries. Stylish without being austere.
Like the neighborhood around it (out toward the airport), House Eleven feels like an early version of something still developing. Looking forward to seeing...
