Bittersweet Cafe

Came here after FLW Fallingwater tour (highly recommend btw) and was immediately impressed with the cozy space, real plants & pumpkins, fall themed decor and their pay it forward wall. It was a Saturday morning and we enjoyed what we ordered, everything was fresh!

I'm always critical with my reviews. I'm especially tight-fisted with 5-stars, but in this case I have no choice — everything's absolutely stellar!! Loved the service; the setting and atmosphere are exquisite; and the cold-brew iced coffee I ordered was one of the best I've ever had!

We stopped here for some coffee and cookies to start our day. We actually got a couple 12 oz Mochas which were created perfectly. The espresso used wasn’t bitter and the chocolate syrup wasn’t overly sweet. The cookies were a later snack in the day but still fresh when we finally ate them.

Some things to know about this place. All their syrups are made there which is much better than the store. The food is another draw and we plan to come back for more than just cookies. It is a very peaceful spot and plenty of places to sit. We loved the outdoor spaces with the greenery. It had a seriously chill atmosphere for relaxing and recharge from the stresses. Also a cool place to hang with friends and/or family.

Parking looks sparse up front but there is plenty of parking area in the back.

UPDATE: Stopped for a late lunch which came to $47. I got the Angry Bird which is a spicy chicken panini, an Iced Blueberry Lemonade and a Blueberry Muffin. The panini could have had more than just a slice and a half of chicken. It felt more like bread and less chicken. Lemonade was a great drink on a hot day. The blueberry muffin was full of berries and very delish. My wife got a Chicken Salad sandwich and water. Her sandwich was a bit more meaty.

All in all it is still a great place to stop for a coffee or food.

We had a gluten free wrap and a gluten free sandwich and bother were superb. The creme brûlée was amazing with a lovely flavor and a crunchy top! The hot and sweet pepper soup with sausage was filling and spicy—again fabulous. I only wish the fresh lemonade had a bit more lemon:). The outdoor seating is calm and beautiful.
