What a delight! Stopped in for an iced coffee and a bagel sandwich and was beyond pleasantly surprised.Lets start with the service. The folks working were so nice, helpful in making menu decisions and got both the food and drink to us quickly.The coffee - possibly one of the best iced coffees Ive ever had!The food - I chose the bagel with egg and cheese. A classic, and oh boy did this place do it right!The atmosphere - Adorable! Seating inside and out. Dog friendly with music at just the right volume.You will LOVE this place!

Cool spot. The acai bowl was delicious, but the coffee tasted a little burnt. Dog friendly and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for your coffee shop stop needs.

Breakfast bagel and Acai is AMAZING! The coffee is great, the pastries super good (recommend the bear claw). The avo toast is good but very plain. I will definitely be back again.

Great little coffee house tucked into North Park neighborhood. Great menu of drinks with decadent frozen coffees (like hot chocolate Reeses peanut butter cup, toffee coffee to name a few unusual ones), teas, snack bars and pastries. Eclectic gifts on display as well. Nice covered porch area as well as indoor seating. Open and serving during the pandemic! And last but not least - friendly staff!! Will be stopping by again next time Im in the neighborhood.

Love this coffee house! Definitely my favorite in the area. The Flying Nun is absolutely amazing and the lox bagel is so tasty! Extremely friendly staff, and they are dog friendly. Whether I sat outside or inside, I enjoyed the cozy local neighborhood vibe I got while there. Definitely a different feeling than sitting in a chain coffee shop. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

There is a large range of coffees and pastries in this coffee shop. All of these are affordably priced, which I loved very much. To make me more relaxed, they really went beyond and beyond and made the stay so memorable. Many thanks, and please keep up the good job.

They actually put 4 shots in my 16oz americano. A coffe shop thats about the coffee and isnt afraid of giving you too much of what you order. Not going to charge you extra for what another shot. Beautiful inside and courtyard seat. Friendly and quick staff

It doesn’t matter whether you have breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and you will enjoy it! The servings are enormous, and everything is always very fresh. The venue has a cool vibe with college kids working in study groups and tourists stopping in for a bite.

Cute coffee shop between North and South Park. The bagel sandwich options are plentiful and the coffee is strong. I got the Thorn Street bagel but added the pesto cream cheese and it was amazing. They have a small outdoor patio for those that still want to enjoy their cafe experience.

I really recommend The Exorcist bagel (ham, cream cheese, jalapeño, and tomato) - it lit up my morning AND my mouth. The coffee is great hot or iced and the service is friendly as well. They do allow dogs and have a bowl of water for them on the patio. Seating is a bit limited due to Covid but I come early (6:30 - 7:30) and havent had trouble finding seating yet.

Santos is a real gem in our community. The coffee is ALWAYS fresh and delicious, the bagel sandwiches are simple, but so bomb. I love everyone who works here, always polite, funny, great service; great team.My favorite thing about this place, other than it being walking distance from my house, is that it allows dogs both on the patio and inside!! They always have treats for my pup, always pet him and say hi, and I can hang on the couch in such a lovely environment just working, eating, hanging, sipping coffee-- all with my dog near by.Really love it here. Thanks Santos! You guys are the best.

Santos Coffee House is like a sanctuary of sanity so close to the madness of the big city hustle and bustle yet so quiet and relaxing. I met my date (my lovely wife) here right at the peak of rush hour and just as I got inside and closed the door I felt like walking in some 50s novel. This is going to be one of my go-to places when I need to escape the concrete jungle for a moment.I had a cup of tea and wifey had coffee and both were content with the experience. Pastries on offer include the walnut bar, which is a must. A great find!

Review №64

Nice spot! Staff was very friendly and helpful with our indecisiveness. My primary concern at coffee shops is the strength of the coffee and it may my expectations (ordered coffee with 2 shots of espresso). Fiance got the Chai and that was delicious. It was a great spot to stop for an easy breakfast near our airbnb. Maybe a little pricey but it earned 5 stars from me.

I love this neighborhood coffee shop for various reasons.. The coffee is excellent in taste with very satisfying drink AND food selection, the staff is personable and well trained in delivering excellent customer service, homie environment feel and the best part is that you will meet Don and Christina (business owners) as you become a regular customer and really get to know them in a short moment of connection. I feel they are wonderful models of running a good business with great character, charisma and welcome all who walk through their cafe door. It is simply the best overall coffee experience for me! Which is why I keep coming back everytime I am in and around the neighborhood.
