High on Art & Coffee: Reviews & Ratings

Kind and easy going staff, tasty drip coffee, and a quiet place to chill and study or draw, exactly the kind of place I was looking for. The building seems to be an old house that has been turned into a restaurant on the first floor, and that is the amount of room you should expect to seat here. It feels like a home still and I like that. For food I tried the raspberry turkey club croissant, It was divine, and it didn't last long as I ate it very quickly, like a dog. I honestly can't wait to try something else from this establishment. I will definitely be coming back. Three cheers for High On Art & Coffee!

My boyfriend and I just moved in down the street from High On Art and Coffee. It is a very quaint, cute place, with an attractive interior, and outdoor seating. The customer service is amazing, everyone who works here is so sweet and considerate. The food is sooooo good, definitely with the try. We personally love the smoothies! The sandwiches are amazing, and you have the freedom to add or take away whatever you need. I bought the avo-gobble sandwich and added all base veggies (I Believe, onion, tomato, spinach). He bought a breakfast sandwich, bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel, and a crangerie turkey club on a croissant. All of the food was excellent!! Drinks wise we got a strawberry, banana, peanut butter smoothie, and a chai. The chai is VERY sweet, a dessert!

First time visitor this week and as I worked at a corner table, I enjoyed seeing the "regulars" (humans and dogs) pop in for their "to go" orders. Food was great, my cappuccino was lovely. Highly recommend!

An acquaintance set up a meeting with me here, and it was an amazing experience. The batista was so nice and helpful. I had an Italian cream soda and an interesting creation called a womlet! It was basically an omlete of my choice cooked in a waffle iron and then placed on a carb of my choice. I chose a bacon, egg and cheese womlet and had it on a croissant. It was perfect. The space is a little tight, but every nook and crany is filled with local art, jewelry or crafts. Great atmosphere and great people!

Everytime I go in I am greeted with a smile and happy people. The food (I don't do any drinks or smoothies...just me but look amazing) is top notch and carefully crafted to order. Unique and local. Nice atmosphere to enjoy and quick takeout. Excellent selection of goods, crafts and art to explore and purchase at fair prices. I really appreciate this place and hope it continues to thrive. My go to is the Club Sandwich with all the fixings and rosemary mayo...try it! You will be happy!

Great Sandwich shop with excellent prices, wonder full friendly staff who actually care, and local art and novelty. They always pack my to-go order in great fashion with care. They have both smoothies and coffee drinks. Make sure to get your sandwich and drink loyalty punch card! They have a garden with outdoor seating, as well as some two person tables and chairs inside and some bigger tables in the back room. However, indoor seating for bigger parties is more limited. Again, fantastic staff, prices, and quality.

My client referred me to this place & boy was he right about the food! I ordered the the club club on sourdough w/ provolone added spinach & avocado. Honey mustard & garlic mayo...hold the onions plz. Honestly it was way more than I could handle & tasted even better than it looks! I ordered the meaty chili but I'll have to save it for tomorrow since I'm stuffed! Friendly staff clean polite and fast service. So glad I was told about this hidden little mom & pop shop. Their menu is quite large & has anything you can think of especially with coffees sandwiches & treats plus so much more. You really should try this spot! You won't be disappointed!
