Lovely place to enjoy drinks! The staff is always friendly, and their chai is delicious. Before the events of 2020, I would come and sit in the shop during the school year to enjoy tea, snacks, and work on writing. With their to-go window now, it makes it easy to get a drink without risking any sort of sickness!

Coffee and food was good. People were very nice. Internet was a little slow but still a good place to get some work done.

Easy-going place. Helpful & patient staff. Tasty drinks and small bites.

Felt very welcomed and safe in this space. The inside is absolutely beautiful. Drinks came out almost immediately after ordering.

I have mixed feelings about Cafe Artista. It has far and away the best lounge of any shop in Moscow and Pullman - not even One World or Daily Grind (RIP) can compete. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is accepting - a safe haven *from* kirkers, not *for* kirkers (Im looking at you Bucers). Like One World, it has two excellent vistas for people watching. So why am I giving this place 3 stars instead of 5 stars?Ive lived in Moscow for 6 years and make it a point to visit each coffeehouse/shack/franchise on a roughly quarterly basis - I like being up to date on whos got the best drip and draw around. And in all that time, I dont know if Ive ever been satisfied by the coffee here. Whether its a latte, cappuccino, macchiato, or a mocha, its always bitter and dry - trademarks of overdrawn esspresso.Cafe Artista has so much going for them. If they fixed the café in their cafe, theyd blow the competition out of the water.

My sugar free mocha was wonderful, the staff friendly and courteous, and the, zucchini breed delish. :)

Their latte are wonderful. Relaxing atmosphere. Great place to take a break and visit with a couple friends. Wear your mask. They also have great pastries and fun unique Idaho local artists handmade gifts. I just saw some Garden Gnomes.

Cafe artista is always friendly, had delicious baked foods, and the remodel over Covid is so impressive! ( including the walk up window) our shops go to for coffee most days.

My burrito is always hot and filled with deliciousness, my cup is always filled with love and my drinks are always topped with whipped cream.They carry the best hot sauce and the seating is comfortable!

We have lived all over the country and have always been cafe people, and Cafe Artista is our all-time favorite cafe. The staff are the best! I can ALWAYS count on a great cup of my favorite (Kamiak) coffee and the ambiance is relaxing and fun! Cant beat it anywhere!

Bev, Lisa, and the staff at Cafe Artista are so wonderful! All the precautions they have put in place during the pandemic have made me as a customer feel like their top priority. I love that I can feel safe and I can snag all my favorite drinks and snacks, either sitting safely distanced inside, or through their outside ordering window. Between the tasty sun dried tomato scones and breakfast burritos, or the cookies and cinnamon rolls, there is a tasty treat for whatever mood you are in, and they pair so well with Kamiak Coffee!Next time you’re in Moscow, stop by and try a Golden Milk Latte or a Cold Brew with Orange, White Chocolate, and Cream- you won’t be disappointed 😉

Coffee and matcha drinks were delicious, scones were honestly kinda bad. Nice ambiance and Ill probably be back for drinks.

BEST CAFE EVER! Amazing coffee and great baristas! A great place to study or meet with friends! The owners are fantastic and create a great environment.

Really cute college town coffee shop. Super friendly baristas and great small batch Kamiak beans for their brews.

Loved the atmosphere. Way less crowded than the other coffee shops in town. Good coffee and food. Just wish they were open later.

Simply delicious. The drinks are made with love and you can taste it. Excellent sweet treats too.I really enjoy the staff every time I visit. They are friendly and it seems like they are excited to see me every time. Wish I could give more stars.

Very relaxing and love their homemade chai.

Ambiance is great and generally pretty quiet even when crowded. Great play space for kids so mom can relax with a nice cup of tea on a comfy couch for a moment of peace!

Nice little shop. The atmosphere is kind of nice. The cinnamon rolls are actually pretty good. Over all it’s a nice little cafe.

I love Cafe Artista!! Great coffee, pastries and atmosphere!! The baristas are friendly and always willing to make drink suggestions!! The remodel is beautiful and I love that masks are required!!!❤❤

Through the pandemic it’s been great to order ahead and do a pick up of their delicious coffee! Their beans are also from a local roaster, Kamiak! The addition of their order window has allowed me to not enter a business when full but still receive a great cup o’Joe! Thanks!!

Cant say enough good things about Cafe Artista! Bev, Lisa and the very friendly staff are surviving this horrid pandemic with obvious dedication, grace and of course humor. The simple courtesy of mask protocol helps this lovley cafe be a bright safe break in my day when greeted by the staff, great atmosphere, nice selection of yummys and the terrific coffee!

It was good. Bu But they dont have white coffee. :(

Lattes, baked goods and service are the best. I greatly appreciate they enforce the mask ordinance.

Love the atmosphere! The art adds a nice ambience and the coffee and tea selection is remarkable! They were able to sate my craving for a good peppermint mocha.

Café Artista is a cozy, welcoming place where coffee and art meet. A true example for small business, Café Artista is family-run by Bev and Lisa Bafus. Not only do they serve locally-roasted coffee, they also make most of their pastries and food items in-house and with love. Their breakfast sandwiches are made from scratch and held between utterly delicious, wonderfully flaky biscuits from a recipe passed down from Lisa’s great-great-grandmother, Elizabeth Baer.Café Artista is not a cookie-cutter coffee shop. Its a place that wears their hearts on their sleeves. This is a lively place where community members, university students, and traveling folk converge to co-exist in a creative and welcoming space while enjoying a deliciously prepared cup (or two) of coffee. What makes Café Artista so special, besides their humble roots, is that they are a wonderful advocate for their community. They provide a space for local artists and craftspeople to publicly display their work and give them a place to sell their creations. Not only are they a strong source of local advocacy, they also use their platform as a small business to support causes that affect people regionally, nationwide, and globally.After a brief closure due to COVID, Café Artista opened back up for walk-up and curbside take-out. They’ve recently remodeled their interior space to further improve their dine-in experience while ensuring the comfort and safety of their customers. The food and drinks are some of my favorite in town, but the kindness of the folks over at Artista is 90% of why I continue to support their family business.

Best burritos, great coffee, sweet staff, and all around wonderful community minded local spot

Had a delicious chai latte at this cozy coffee shop this morning! Lots of tables and seating options. The only negative thing that I could say is that they charge a an extra dollar if you ask for non-dairy milk. So I ended up paying $5 for their smallest sized drink.

My favorite shop in town. Love the espresso and pecan sticky buns.

Its wonderful!!! Great staff and drinks.

Always a pretty designed cup of coffee by any barista working any time I visit

Excellent coffee, beautiful atmosphere, and most of all a kind and fun staff. Its always my first choice in town.

Great little shop, awesome customer service. Had no problem fixing their mistake and refunding my friend when they got her order wrong, and always make patrons feel welcome. Also, theyre open on Sundays, which is a huge boon for Moscow.

Cool place to do anything. Out for a coffee or break your study routines. This is one of the places you wanna go. Alone or in a group, it will work for you!

I love this place,,, It’s my fav place in Moscow

Really nice selection of teas. The London fog is exquisite.

I stop here EVERY TIME I am in Moscow. The coffee is absolutely delicious and so are all the treats. I love seeing different art on the walls during every visit. The employees are ALWAYS very sweet and the atmosphere is always welcoming. I love it! :)

Wonderful service - great coffe - and the fresh muffins are A++.

Coffee was good and sandwhich was really delicious

Just had the best espresso and drip coffee Ive ever had in my life. Randomly stopped in and found a quaint, comfortable, perfect coffee shop and will return next time were in Moscow. Coffee was great, baristas were nice, hard to find a cafe like this. Thanks for the coffee+service!

Without a doubt THE coolest coffee house I have ever experienced. Came here while on vacation with my wife (we came from PA), and the atmosphere is incredible. Couches, artwork, beautiful tables. friendly staff, friendly people and conducive to family, dates or studies as there were U of ID students here taking advantage of the warm atmosphere. If you are ever in the neighborhood, you really should make a point to come here:) LOVE IT! Thank you to the staff for a wonderful experience:)

Just met here as a group. Didnt get to order anything. The smells were free and they were good. Very busy coffee shop right in center of town. Trying to get back if time allows.

Super cute coffee shop with a great environment and plenty of tables which means tons of work space or space for food or both!

WiFi password, restricted use of honey 🍯, restricted bathrooms to customers, and kind of a stiff pseudo progressive atmosphere. Too hippy for the clean cut conservative or bookish and too tight for the hippy types.Middle of the road kind of vibe.Nothing was bad but it wasnt the warm fuzzy vibe I personally like when I go out.

Great coffee, friendly and helpful staff. One of my favorite places to schedule meetings. The meeting room is easy to reserve for a private meeting of up to 10 or so. But also just as easy to take advantage of the variety of tables and couches

Cafe Artista is a great meeting spot in Moscow, ID. They have a backroom available for more private small gatherings, but the beverages are excellent, their tea choices are top notch and they provide a wonderful area to get coffee and get some work done. Prices are reasonable. and yes, you can get Mexican Mochas.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and a good selection of foods/drinks to get. Worth checking out. Their hours of operation are also nice.

What nice place! The cold brew was great! I really enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere.Good coffee is my weakness, every time.

This is perhaps the most wonderful coffee shop I have ever been to. The shop itself was nice enough, but the coffee was stellar. I would recommend it extremely highly.

Amazing coffee and food they have always got grate additude and customer service

Cool layout. Not my first choice for coffee. Could have 4 stars if their hours hit the mark of a college town coffee shop

Fun, eclectic local coffee house with small and large tables. Yummy local coffee and delicious snacks.

Wonderful atmosphere, rich coffee aroma and sublime murmured conversation appeals to anyone seeking intimate community.. great seating and comfort.... Juniper makes for good conversation while creating tasty warm drink...Very rainy day..

This is the place to go for coffee in Moscow. Great location downtown, super cute place to enjoy excellent coffee, had a scone that awesome which was homemade by the owner. Baristas were very helpful with great energy. Definitely would recommend Cafe Artista!

Moscow has two great coffee shops and I love each in its own way. But Artista has the best coffee -- Stumptown -- and the best atmosphere for conversation. The owners are incredibly generous with their time and resources. We are so lucky to have Cafe Artista in the community.

I dont go there because of their customer only policy for the restrooms. I believe public restroom should be open to everyone in the spirit of public health.

Milk Oolong was delicious (if a bit spend).

What can I say, great atmosphere, great service, great coffee, and great prices. You need to check this place out if you havent, I highly recommend.

They are friendly, great atmosphere and the coffee (Kamiak) is really great.

Espresso beautifully poured using blends and beans from a local roaster. Charming staff, comfortable space.

Very attentive staff. A bit dark inside. Gluten-free brownies were hard and chewy while Mexican mocha was bland and watery. Meh...

Excellent coffee every time! Great atmosphere, always able to find a great spot to catch up with friends or study. One of the best coffee places in Moscow.

Love Café Artista! The atmosphere is cozy and spacious, their drinks and food items are delicious, but most importantly their staff is exceptionally friendly. They really do care about quality coffee and it truly shows in the drinks they make. Very knowledgable and talented barista staff :). Always my first stop in downtown Moscow every time I am there - cant recommend enough!

I dont live in Moscow anymore but I make sure I stop every time Im in town I stop in! Im never disappointed in the service I receive here. You can tell the owners put so much time into this business. And they sell stumptown so you cant complain about that at all!

Strong coffee and friendly baristas! I hope to come here again to try some of the food. I enjoyed the laid back vibe here.

Their coffee is delish, their servers are kind and welcoming, there is plentiful seating....They have three couches. They have tables for study groups and tables for two people. They have a cushioned window seat. They have high-chaired seating as well. They have some light foods like cheese and herb scones, cookies, and bagels. They also have a microwave. They offer a suspended coffee system - you can choose to buy a suspended coffee, to be given to someone who cant afford one later on a first-come-first-serve basis. A person can come in and ask to see if there are any suspended coffees and benefit from someones generosity. In addition, there is a nice selection of games like checkers, chess, cribbage, as well as some other boardgames. The lighting is warm and the room is comforting. Windows look onto Main Street.

One of the quieter cafes in the downtown Moscow area. If One World or Bucers is too busy for you, try Artista. The pastries are pretty good, cinnamon rolls are made in-house. Ive spent many mornings working here while watching the traffic go by.

They put so much effort into what they do! They have excellent morals and are some of the most genuinely kind people Ive met in Moscow. Their tea sets have always delighted me, and they have 8oz cup options (which I didnt expect to like but now am crazy about)! Ive noticed their coffee is a bit on the expensive side, but it tastes so good. I really feel like I get what I pay for when I come here. I tip now too, funny that I never used to tip batistas, but they work so hard!

Cozy and quiet cafe. They have a little kids area as well as a shelf with lot of board games. Good coffee and nice staff.

Got an iced coffee that was so bad I couldnt have more than 3 sips. Atmosphere is alright but lacks some kind of theme or consistency. Service was curt. Lots of better places for coffee in town.

Popular coffee shop in Moscow. They make a mean Mocha.

Always a great place to get coffee or tea. I love the ambience and can even bring my kids and they can play in the kids area

Nice service.

Great coffee, but notice that youre getting shorted on a shot. Most coffee shops will give you 2 shots for a 16 oz. Here youll only get 1 and have to pay for the extra one.

Lovely ambiance. Delicious coffee. A great asset to our community...

Best cappuccino in 100 miles. Fun art and a good ambiance in the heart of Moscow

Great traditional macchiato, and great atmosphere. Will come again. (Not sure why the previous reviewer was complaining about getting a ristretto shot; thats what you want. He must have been trolling.)

Gross coffee, poor service.

Good place to meet and have coffee etc.

Great little coffee shop on the Palouse! Fantastic coffee and biscottis!

Cafe Artista makes a great cappuccino! Always friendly service and super baristas.

Great coffee and neat cozy atmosphere but there were flies all over the place during summer!

Great spot to go meet people

Great atmosphere to hang out. They have games (adult and kid), toys, comfy chairs, nice location to people watch, and very friendly

Good coffee. A nice place to visit with friends.

I remember when this location was Sisters Brew and it was hands down the best coffee place in town. I could spend hours there and always felt welcome. The atmosphere has completely changed and over the last year I have gone to Cafe Artista on several occasions hoping this visit would be better than the last. Unfortunately I have yet to be impressed.As far as selection goes, this place has an AMAZING selection of food and drink. However, where their selection is vast the prices are beyond steep and the quality is hit or miss. I understand that local businesses have higher costs than chains but when the cost for a dirty chai is over a dollar more expensive than any of the surrounding coffee shops, something is wrong. I bought two coffees last week and it was $12.00 before tip. Even Starbucks is not that expensive.I think the real killer for me though is the service. I have never had a good experience as far as customer service at this location. Some of the baristas are shy and thats not a problem, but on numerous occasions Ive come in to two baristas gossiping and have had to wait several seconds at the counter just for them to find a break in their conversation to order. No hello, no thank you, no cordial conversation, nothing and before I even finish paying they go back to gossiping over other co-workers or classmates where customers can hear. I have even had my workplace ridiculed to my face before they realized I worked there. I only even go to this location because I have a friend who has thankfully had better experiences than I have, and I like to treat her to coffee every now and then.There are some positives, past the customer service and how expensive it is, the atmosphere is nice and calm. This is a good place to study or just to relax and sip on a cup of joe. I love the featured artwork and crafts from local artists and craftsman. The meeting room is also a wonderful perk for professionals in the area and is easy to reserve. I wont give it a one star because I know others who have had better experiences, I do hope that the owner and management will take what Ive said into account though for the future.

Great atmosphere and coffee. I had an iced americano with some cream and was very pleased.

FYI, Trenton Holen is only reviewing so poorly because his girlfriend was fired for incompetence. The coffee is actually considered some of the best in Moscow by many and with a great atmosphere! Read the other reviews, not jaded ex barista bfs.

This would be my number one choice of coffee shop to study and spend time at, except their internet never works. Unfortunately I usually only go to coffee shops to complete homework assignments or study which all require the internet. Great coffee, service and atmosphere though.Cafe artista if you are reading this, please fix your internet connection problem. Please. If you fix this, you’d have all my business and I’d absolutely change my review to a five star rating.

Blended Huckleberry Mocha Bianca was amazing. I love Stumptown coffee. Staff was friendly.

Delicious coffee (Stumptown), chill atmosphere thats perfect for meeting people or working, & lots of milk alternatives for those with sensitivities make this my favorite coffee shop in town.

Posted on yelp some time ago but have new info that warrants another review. First off, the coffee here is horrible. Espresso? What espresso? Gave them yet another chance and once again, their americano is the weakest I have ever had and certainly not worth the cost. Anyone who knows what espresso is supposed to taste like would agree. Not sure why theyre using Stumptown coffee for espresso because its not the right roast and should not be used for that purpose. Shocked that they still charge so much considering Ive heard from multiple sources that the business is not doing well. *****Note to anyone who is considering applying here: I had a friend work here earlier this year, she kept us updated on the business practices and why she quit immediately upon finding another job. She said that the owners did not treat their employees well and pay was poor. Apparently they would yell at employees if they forgot to clean something but when they, themselves, worked a closing shift they would leave the shop cleaning from the night before for the opening baristas to do. So be advised that the work environment is poor. Plenty of other fantastic shops in Moscow. Its too bad because the former Sisters Brew was my favorite coffee shop downtown.

Delicious Stumptown coffee, dialed by trained baristas every morning with coffee that is roasted and delivered every week so every shot is delicious. Homemade pastries made by the owner herself. Youll feel good spending money at this shop as Stumptown is a direct trade business, cutting out the middle man to ensure every farmer they buy from gets a living wage. Also, keep an eye out on their Facebook page for days they give a percentage of their earnings to a worthy charity. The last organization they chose to give a portion of their proceeds to was the Hispanic Federation for disaster relief in Puerto Rico. The owners are a genuinely fantastic family that adds to the fantastic local businesses Moscow has to offer.As for the last few reviews complaining about the medium roast and the kind of shots that are pulled, Im not sure what the deal is except it seems those reviews are obviously biased and out to get the shop for personal reasons... That being said, they pull shots and use medium roast as per the specifications of Stumptown itself. Lets lift up local businesses and be supportive, shall we?I love Cafe Artista

Love this place for a coffee break! A great, quiet place!

Art full deco, Good drinks, comfortable seating, enjoyable atmosphere and wi fi

Cozy atmosphere with great coffee

I dropped in for a cup of coffee at some point. The atmosphere was interesting and the service was exceptional.

Did not like the bitter latte. I had to put nutmeg in the coffee, so I could drink it.

Great coffee, welcoming staff, comfy atmosphere

Delicious coffee, fantastic atmosphere, and a great assortment of games to pass the time.
