Caffe Piccolo — Restaurant in Camas

• 08/15/17 * Update (They expanded) This place is great to hang out and chill, now that they expanded the seating area. You can actually go in and sit down. They have gotten quite busy with the ability to help more people. They don't stop and chit chat like they used to because they are much busier. Honestly it's a great stop for a quick coffee or lunch visit.

This is a great coffee shop with a Italian twist. Great coffee. Caffe Umbria brand. Haven't had it before. It's a good Italian blend.

I frequent shops for a sweet white mocha and I love it here. Very happy with it and the service behind it.

I have seen them serve the very concentrate European style crazy strong coffees and people seem to really like it. I saw two older women , kinda like Zsa Zsa Gabor type of women and as they sipped it, they raved it. Not my style but I guess it's good stuff.

If you want a snack or sandwich they have great little pastries and options but their Paninis are very good. I stick to the Turkey and Swiss Panini. Its very good and it's all fresh.

The people are very nice, the owner seems to be very down to earth and friendly as well as their baristas.

If you want to try something great and local, it's worth stopping.

By the way on those hot summer days or if you want a great Italian style lemonade. Give it a shot. You will not be disappointed. I happen to be a lemon or lime fan and you will not be...

First time going and will never return. I ordered my chai and forgot to say I wanted oat milk so after my friend ordered hers with it I realized and said "Oh, I'm so sorry I forgot to ask mine made with oat milk please." The lady behind the counter who I can only assume was the owner said she'd have to make it again and charge me for a new one. I was honestly shocked because I've never had to pay for a brand new drink to be made for something like that at any other coffee shop. I explained it was an innocent mistake to accidently leave out my milk alternative choice, as I'm lactose intolerant and she said, "If it was really that important you would've said it." I was speechless. I was treated so rudely. I explained to her that I was a bit distracted as I had my toddler daughter on my hip and attempting to get money out of my purse while ordering and she didn't care one bit, instead humiliated me in front of everyone there including her own staff member who seemed embarrassed to be in such a situation. I stepped away because I felt so flabbergasted. I had already ordered a breakfast sandwich and added tip, that I wish I hadn't. I said, "Just keep everything, the food and my money I don't want any of it." She brings the drink to the counter and proceeds to ask my friend "Do you want the drink, otherwise I'm just going to throw away." My jaw dropped. She was willing to waste the drink instead making me a new one. I'll never return. I'll only go to Hidden River, go there for great coffee...

Downtown downtime - that's how I will describe my experience at this quaint cafe. It's that place where you want to just slack the whole day reading a book, take a sip of hot coffee or hot choco, then look out the window and just appreciate the calmness of the place (take a seat by the window!). When we were there, other customers were on their laptops, others seemed to be having a great catch up session, and a couple who were just having a relaxed time!

Must tries are the tomato soup, the hot choco, the bread with cheese and bacon, and of course, the coffee.

What adds to the great experience is the perky personality of the barista/owner who greets you and bids you farewell. Definitely coming back with family...
