Muse Cafe

We attended their summer wine and dinner pairing and it was outstanding! Great food and great wine. Don't miss these special events.

This place is great if you're wanting to lounge around and hang out for a bit. They have tasty food but it took forever for lunch to come out to the table. It's small but cute for a little lunch with a friend to catch up with.

Muse is a lovely neighborhood cafe. They offer a great selection of coffee drinks, alcoholic options, and food on their menu. I ordered the Strawberry Fields Salad. Although it had just spinach instead of other greens as advertised, it was delicious.The most important part of my experience at Muse was the live music. Having live musicians perform regularly several nights a week is rare these days; it is quite special that Muse makes an effort to do so. The musicians they bring in are phenomenal, and it really makes for a nice evening out. I will definitely be going back soon!

Muse,Muse,Muse! Why has it taken me so long to try the food. I've been here for coffee and enjoyed it. I live so close, around the corner. Today I placed an online order. When I arrived my sandwich was literally coming off the press. I have been trying a no meat diet for a little while so I had the mushroom, onion and gruyere cheese on sourdough bread. Now I am not a sourdough bread fan. I thought about asking for different bread but my instincts said stick with it. My goodness this panini was amazing. The mild, smooth melted cheese with the mushroom and onion seasoned & sauteed to perfection. They can consider me a regular from now on. Already have my eye on the margherita panini but after another Shroomon! No picture because I ate it before I knew what happened.

I want to support this business. I really do. Cafes are an important part of every united community and I wish Westwood had more. Unfortunately, this coffee shop is not a cafe that supports a "community feel." The customer service is absolutely horrible. The workers never greet you when you come in, they don't seem to know their menu, and give an all-around air of hostility towards customers. Customers seem to be viewed as people that waste the workers' time rather than viewed as people to be helped.An example of this is when I walked in 12 minutes after their 1pm closing time. I was stared at by whom I assume to be the manager and was simply told, "We're closed. I thought you were a DoorDasher." I said "okay" and walked out. My question: if they're accepting DoorDash orders, why not take in-person orders, especially if in-person means tips for the workers of Muse?One positive at least is that they serve Deeper Roots coffee.

We live on the West Side but why does that always come with a negative connotation? Before Muse, getting coffee was a masochistic experience: either resorting to a diabetogenic $1 McCafé or burnt Starbucks coffee from one of the beautiful Glenway strip malls. We finally have a locally-owned community coffee shop in the heart of Westwood! Muse is great where it matters: they have 100 Mbps reliable internet, tons of meeting space and a friendly staff... great ambiance, gluten free options (can substitute gluten free bread on their sandwiches and they have a range of baked goods). There is free parking in the Westwood Business District lot, which is on Montana across from La Rue. The signage is poor - (before reading online I drove by it for year without noticing anything had opened) it is in the apartment building with blue awnings on the corner. Price Hill, Covedale, Westwood, Cheviot....support your local businesses. This is why we CAN have nice things...

This has been our date spot the last 3 Fridays. Great live music, fresh light dishes, and amazing fresh brewed teas. I've heard the coffee is just as awesome. Everything is very reasonably priced, even less expensive than I think it should be. The service is fast, courteous, and helpful.

It pains me to give such a bad review but the customer service is absolutely horrible. Completely agree with the other reviewer about the employees acting like they are doing you a favor. I could get over the unfriendly attitude but not waiting 35-45 minutes for a panini (this has happened 3 times! ... thought it was a fluke) when the cafe is empty. The one time the employees that were there just completely forgot/somehow didn't realize we'd ordered a panini ...??? Again, the place was empty... Anyway, VERY disappointed in Muse. We live right down the street and so wish we could enjoy this place. Everyone else seems to have such great experiences ... maybe we will give it once last shot on a night with live music?

The drinks and food are great, and the service is awesome! Nice little spot to meet up with friends and chat. We always enjoy ourselves here!

Myself and my friends decided to come here for a cute little café moment and we were not disappointed! The inside of the shop is very clean, so were the bathrooms. There's background music playing, but not too loud to where you couldn't study. The staff greeted us and they were nice. We dined in and they personally brought us our food and drinks which was nice. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the wait for our food was a little lengthy. However, the food was delicious! Our lattes (s'mores and grasshopper mocha) were also so good! They were very creamy and sweet. We got a couple sandwiches (ham and cheese, pomodoro) and they were very tasty. Each came with a pickle. We got a banana nut muffin and a cherry turnover which were delicious. The muffin was warmed. I would eat here again and I recommend for anyone looking for a nice, clean, and simple café with yummy food and cold/hot coffees.
