The Alcove

Great little dive wine bar ! The bartender was really nice and everyone was really nice and clearly regulars. It's a cute community of people. We went for Mahjong Monday which happens every 2nd and 4th Monday of the month. It was so fun and very casual. Overall enjoyed !

Last time I went, my husband and I asked for a house glass of red wine. They said they didn't have any, so we just asked for a basic red that could be comparable. After we drank them and asked for the check, we discovered that they had given us each a $35 glass of wine. That's a $70 check before any tip. Clearly, they just wanted to make money and take advantage of us. Especially for two young people who could not afford it at the time.I also just heard that they are kicking State Street Coffee out of their space with little notice and no explanation. That was the best part about the Alcove. Photos included of how they are mocking State Street Coffee on social media, by simply saying "oops". It's honestly just sad.

A great place to grab a coffee and a snack. However the ownership has cause me to think differently about frequenting this establishment. State Street Coffee was a great coffee shop inside the Alcove with awesome service for 10 years. The Alcove recently decided to force State Street out of the Alcove without even a notice. They figured they make more money if they opened their own coffee shop. Totally get they want to make more money but at the expense of other people, who were good to you. Putting people out of jobs. Placing your wants above all others. Umm I'll pass on whatever you have to offer in ur future life. I prefer to support people who care about others.

last I came in here I mentioned State Street coffee (they used to operate out of this location per an agreement with the owner) and then I had to sit through a barrage of crap talk about State Street. It was like they wouldn't be happy until I changed my mind and admitted State Street was bad (which I would never do bc it was one of the best coffee shops in the state). I hate giving bad reviews to local places, but the food here was genuinely bad and I hated that they spent so much effort talking trash about other local businesses. Skip this place.

I really had a great time at The Alcove. I came in the morning to get some work done with coffee. I love the free refills on drip coffee. It really keeps me on my productivity streak. Staff is also super welcoming! I'll definitely be coming back.

Do you love supporting bad businesses? Do you love eating frozen Costco pizzas and over paying for gas station wine then look no further! From top to bottom this place is garbage. Ownership, staffing and offerings are sub par. They kicked out State Street Coffee that had built a business over the last 10 years with inappropriate notice only to claim that they were "renovating". This is completely incorrect and misleading. They dismantled a small business where people lost jobs all in the name of greed. take your neighborhood coffee business one street over to White Rhino Coffee and your drinking business LITERALLY anywhere else. Pathetic, spineless, and disgusting is the only way I could describe this establishment.

This is a shady business. State Street Coffee has been a staple of the neighborhood and was pulled up seemingly overnight with very little notice to the previous business that occupied this spot. Only to have the Alcove kick them out to open their own shop. This is NOT the same coffee shop the bar seems to be claiming it is.This is NOT a renovation.This is NOT a reopening.This is what stealing business looks like. Letting another business build clientele and rapport over nearly 10 and trying to steal it out from under them is a spinless move This is a business with a complete lack of integrity. The Alcove should be honest about what they are doing. That's you J. Take your business elsewhere in the neighborhood.

Rather than improve their poor business, they have removed State Street Coffee and are now attempting to impersonate it. State Street Coffee is no longer there. It has not been renovated. It is not reopened.

The service here is always incredible!! I'm usually here whenever Chris or Kaitlin are working and they're so much fun. the ambiance is chill, casual, and everyone ends up mingling and getting along well! late night tip - if you're wanting some food, their pizza is SO GOOD!

Great local spot in State Thomas. Laid back vibe, a rotating set of taps with lots of local flavor. Always a must stop after work.
