One of my most favorite places in the area. I love the coffees, strudels, and other treats. The paczki were delicious! I really liked the Dubai chocolate and cannoli cream ones. The staff is always so kind and welcoming. They are on the pricier side, but I think it’s worth it for a quality experience.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

When you walk in the door the feel is somewhat nostalgic. The personality of the staff is great and the Vibe is warm. No screens, no automation, just people having conversation in a Coffee shop like it was meant to be. We had the Dubai Chocolate Latte & the Gingersnap Latte both hot but you can get them iced if you prefer. Both of the Latte's had all of the flavor expected and the presentation was point on. We chose to get a Pecan Sticky Bun to snack on with the coffee and it was great. The booth seeting is very comfy and the staff is very knowledgeable of the product. This is the first time I have heard of Cake in a jar but after seeing it, It absolutely makes sense. Most of our interaction was with Humera and she was very pleasant and passionate about the business. We will be back and I would suggest if you have not been in here yet, you should stop in.

First time at the Sweet Reserve Café with my wife and it is such a cozy little spot! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying some quiet time with a good cup of coffee. Their bakery items are fresh and delicious — the pastries taste homemade and pair perfectly with their rich, smooth coffee. Service is friendly and attentive, and everything feels thoughtfully prepared. Overall it’s a wonderful café that’s definitely worth visiting!
