I went to this place with a friend for a Bible Study, and it was perfect for that. It’s a very quiet spot, small but cozy. They offer a variety of desserts, and the prices are reasonable. I really enjoyed my experience here. The only downside is that parking is quite difficult to find!

Can't beat the Nitro. It's been one of my go-to coffee shops for 25 years. Small selection of yummies if you need a bite or two. They also serve beer and wine. Really mellow hang.

Great local spot. The coffee is strong and smooth, and the vibe is perfect for working or relaxing. Baristas are friendly but not overbearing, and the pastries are always fresh. One of my go-to cafes in the area.

Comfy coffee shop nestled in The Heights community. Barista was very patient and kind while my family ordered drinks. We tried an iced cajeta latte, hot rose + vanilla latte, iced toffenut latte & hot chocolate. All drinks were made perfectly. Definitely recommend stopping in

Chill spot with great coffee and good vibes Came to Antidote Café with a friend to chat about business and ended up really enjoying the vibe. The place was quiet, cool, and full of people reading or working on laptops—perfect for a low-key meeting or just catching up. I had a latte that was smooth and rich, and it hit the spot. The staff were super friendly and relaxed, which made the whole experience even better. Also loved that they serve beer and wine—definitely coming back to try that during happy hour. Not flashy, but it feels real and welcoming. A solid spot to think, talk, or just enjoy a great cup of coffee.
