Read moreThis place can get super busy fairly quickly between 7.45am-9am, so expect a wait!! On weekends, the "rush hour" begins at 9.30am or so and goes clear till at least 11am or longer. There's a hotel, a community college, a slew of specialty doctors offices and high-end townhouses within a 15 min walk of their front door. So be patient, but know that employees are caring and respectful. I come here during the week, rarely on weekends, and feel that this is one of the hanful of BEST coffee places over many others in the city. They have delicious GF muffins and cake (when available, which is an annoyance that sometimes the GF baker doesnt feel like baking? weird). I like their quiche and my fav is oatmilk lattes. Inside the cafe used to be very dim and gloomy, I like the new look, so much brighter and inviting; now they need some more wall art. Comet gets high marks on food, service and atmosphere and there's always room for improvement. Just be aware of info mentioned above and feel free to order online if time allows and just come in to pick up.
P.S. drip coffee takes longer than a latte because of the special method they use to make it, same...

In the last year Ive come less and less because the service and quality have plummeted faster than a jet with no engines.
Today was the last time Ill give this place a chance. Rude service from every person behind the counter, from not asking our names for the order (thanks for describing my clothes on the ticket instead) to over-and-incorrectly explaining the drink I ordered to me at hand off.
Sorry, there is no such thing as an "iced cappuccino" (I ordered an iced vanilla latte with less milk). The names of coffee beverages are named according to the temperature and texture of the milk involved. Telling me I need to order an "iced cappuccino" or "iced flat white" is a recipe for disaster.
Also at the end there was no vanilla in...
