Canteen 3255

I don't know how Canteen never showed up on my coffee shop searches, but I'm glad I finally found it! I was surprised the space was so big with the hidden extra room attached to the coffee bar area. It has tons of seating and was perfect for working remotely, although the wifi didn't work very well. It was cozy and had lots of natural light. I tried the canteen girl cold brew and wouldn't get it again. It didn't have much flavor and was more watery than I prefer for coffee. My partner got a vanilla steamer and loved it.

Damn! Finally a perfect cortado to be had in the TC!I ran into (almost literally) this place while biking Bryant Ave. Didn't have my bike lock with me so wasn't planning to drop in; then I noticed their walk-up window.This is a kind of placeholder review since I'll want to try them once or twice more to solidify my rating, but perfect at first blush!

Update: Well after a few good moments here, sadly the last few weeks it's been completely ruined by the utter shite internet. This is clearly a place people come to do stuff on their laptops, but the last 6 times I've been here it's impossible to get anything done if you need a reliable internet connection. It's still cool if you want to read or just hang out or do whatever, but given the vibe this place promises, it sorely disappoints. I guess it's back to Dogwood I go...

Favorite local coffee shop in the uptown neighborhood! I love that I can walk to the shop as it's blocks away from the heart of uptown. I also love that it's never too long of a wait. Super friendly baristas and always consistently good coffee. The cafe is nice and quiet - never too busy. It's a perfect for a spot to work or study for an afternoon without too many distraction. The coffee is superb - some of the best espresso drinks I've had around town. Haven't tried the drip coffee or food options, but am tempted to try some of the bread options.

What a cute neighborhood place! This is a super convenient location for those living near Calhoun, Harriet, or Uptown in general. Loved the open, light space in the main room and tons of space and charging outlets in the back room. The tea options were diverse and love the loose leaf variety. I got a pot for $5, which seems pretty reasonable. Hibiscus tea was delicious. They also make some really interesting toasts--topped with hummus, cheese, and more! A good break from typical cafe pastries. Good place to work! Decent WiFi, not great, not bad. Lots of tables and space.

Decent study space, very quiet and quite cold. 1. Quiet. never busyEvery time I came here, they had at most 10 people in the entire establishment. If you want undistracted quiet time to work, this is a good place. 2. ParkingLots of street parking available, which is very convenient. 3. AmbienceIt is on the dark side, the lamps aren't that bright and overall very clean, sometimes it even reminds you of the hospital cafeteria with its clean walls and not much decoration or color. 4. CoffeeTypical 5-6 dollars with tip kinda coffee based products you will get here. I didn't particularly find their products oh so delicious. If you wanna work and need a quick bite, you won't really be happy here. They don't really have much of a choice when it comes to food to eat.

Probably the best overall local cafe among many walkable choices in South Uptown / CARAG neighborhood, in terms of quality and atmosphere. Coffee is very good, though slightly more expensive than other places. (Bagged coffee is especially pricey here at $16.95 for 10oz.) Pastries are delicious and always fresh. The toast (and in particular the "toast happy hour") are a unique offering.Canteen is also distinguished for it's late hours and cavernous interior space, with plenty of tables for everyone at any time of day. Probably the best cafe in town to work or study, if you can afford expensive coffee refills.

Average sized cafe located right at the corner of Bryant and 33rd St. There is a small parking lot outback which can park about 6 cars. Otherwise, it's street parking in which it shouldn't be hard to find a parking if you come during the late evenings. They serve coffee/expressos and baked goods as well as granola cereal. The peanut butter and chocolate granola is bombdotcom! This place is excellent for late evening studying or perhaps just some chill me time to work on your laptop. The music played during tonight was definitely upbeat enough to keep the atmosphere lively. The guests here also make sure of respecting the atmosphere by not being too loud for others which is key for a low-key cafe. The front of the cafe has a few tables, but you can head on back for more and bigger tables. The benches all have outlets connected to it, so you shouldn't have an issue with trying to find a place to charge your electronics. However, i do wish the bench seatings are a little more comfy. They're wooden benches, so if you don't plan to sit for long hours, then they're doable.

Bio: Vegetarian, who loves different cuisines and want to have a good gastronomical experience.Recently realized that Cortado is my coffee drink. This place served really nice Cortado. Give this a try, you won't be disappointed.Ups: Super nice neighborhood and inside Ambience.Downs: Could be better if they use Dark Roast for Cortado. Just a suggestion.

At the risk of being completely cliche, I'm going to say it. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. First of all, TOAST BAR. Fresh baked bread with your choice of available toppings. My faves are the (house made) peanut butter or the turkey and cheese with sriracha aioli. On weekend mornings the have LOTS of options (cooked eggs go fast so, be prompt) and basically, they toast the bread and you create your own noms. Second, Pumpkin bars. Another in house product, available daily till they are sold out. And they are delicious. Same recipe the owner makes for her own family. Next, solid coffee. I'm usually a drip brew for here type of gal, but every drink I've ever had has been good. Finally, lots of seating. It looks deceivingly small but this place seats about 60-70 guests. It's never that busy, but it's nice knowing it's unlikely for you to arrive at any time and not find a space for you to work or chill. Lots of outlets too if you need to plug in. Nearly every seat has a plug or two within cord distance.
