So much more than your typical chain coffee shop. First time stopping in and what a delight in every way. Located on Lehigh Street with free parking in their ample lot, Art Beat is cute cozy and unique . They offer homemade baked goods like cupcakes cookies and muffins as well as breakfast sandwiches , quiche, and an assortment of coffees, smoothies, home made iced tea , juices, lemon aid, and to my surprise and pleasure frozen hot chocolate. We tried their banana strawberry smoothie which was made with real fruit and was absolutely delicious. Also tried their strawberry lemon aid which was also very good. We wanted to try the breakfast sandwiches so we went with a sausage egg and cheese on a croissant , bacon egg and cheese on a croissant, spinach quiche, and their home made oatmeal raisin cookies. Everything was absolutely delicious. Prices are fair and reasonable and most important the food was excellent with quality ingredients and made fresh. There are two rooms to browse in that offer paintings, jewelry, mugs and so many other unique and artsy gift items. The variety of unique gifts was impressive. They have cute seating areas to enjoy your coffee while relaxing or catching up with friends while enjoying your favorite beverage or snack. We were very pleased and look forward to coming back and trying their delicious coffees and other items and especially their frozen hot chocolate. They are closed Sunday and Monday but open Tues through Sat until 3 pm. Well worth a visit to this adorable coffee shop with great food and coffee in a unique setting. Keep up the great...
Read moreThis place is truly awesome. There is just so much going on after you scratch the surface. To have a cafe that's just all about art and coffee is just the best. The food is reliably tasty, and not over-priced. The coffee is always very good, And they have a good range of options from standard drip, espresso, to nitro cold-brew. Definitely the best coffee in Emmaus.
The whole are half of this business is just full of art that's available to purchase from local artists, they have jewelry and paintings and photography, pottery, etc.. that are just beautiful and a really good value. So often I go to a place and either the art isn't very good or it's very expensive or both. Here it's good art at a good price. Not to mention that they have a lot of classes and workshops several times a week if you check out their social media.
Lastly the owner and staff are fantastic. They're all very welcoming and very friendly, you can tell they all enjoy being there. Just as an example my wife has some food allergies (wheat allergy and lactose intolerance) so they made a quiche special for her, which is now available to purchase as well.
In closing this place is very community-minded and is run by a really nice group of people. Highly...
Read moreI've driven past this café so many times going back on forth on Lehigh St. So glad that I finally stopped in. The spinach feta quiche was yummy. I already had coffee earlier so I chose to have a hot cup of English Breakfast. Water was very hot and I love that my tea was served in a mug, fellow tea connoisseurs know temperature and mug matter! The atmosphere is simple but cozy. I'm not an art person but I do enjoy being surrounded by work of local artists. The painting I posted was created by a 9yo. So impressive. I even bought 2 beautiful photo magnets to put on my happy wall. They will be my vision of spring as I freeze through the next few winter months! Can't wait to return to Art Beat Café to try...
