CAFFE COCINA COFFEE ROASTING CO. — Restaurant in Poulsbo

I went to meet a friend for lunch downtown Poulsbo in March and chose the Cafe because we like the food. But much to our surprise - over half of all tables and chairs were occupied with people using free Internet, some even taking up more than one table space with their laptops - no place for two of us to sit together. So we had to leave and eat elsewhere - which we'll do from now on.

So we're wondering how such a business model makes financial sense. Customers buy one cup of coffee and sit there hogging space for an hour, while others trying to eat lunch and spending more money have to either stand and wait for a seat, or take it home....

I can see how that works at Starbucks - but not at a relatively small eatery - especially during prime time like lunch. Therefore I cannot recommend Cafe Cocina as a place to meetup even for a casual lunch. We might go back during summer when outside tables are available, unless they're also occupied by Internet...

Good food! Had the BLT with avocado and egg. Delish! Only complaint is the music.

People come to the coffee shop for different reasons -- coffee dates with friends, time for journaling, or to grab a quick bite. Jazz isn't my absolute fave, but there's a reason it's a staple at many coffee shops -- it's chill. The volume and frantic-ness of the tunes at Caffe Cocina usually means I'll be leaving earlier than I really wanted to. I think a more relaxing musical choice would make this coffee shop absolutely perfect! If the tunes have to be upbeat, then at least turn down the volume. Great view and a great place to...

This place is cute with plants and the fireplace.

Wide range of variety for coffee and other food items. There is live music at this place most of the time in the day time so it is pretty crowded.

Plus this cafe is literally beside the very famous phone booth. That makes it beside the tourist attraction.

The coffee and cold brews have a nice kick and also ha variety of options.

Parking is street side only and is very limited if the town has an event or is a weekend. Make sure you park somewhere else and walk to this place.

This place is near to most famous sluy's bakery. So get a coffee here before you grab a donut or a...
