"I recently visited 22nd Street Coffee Shop and was hoping to become a regular, but unfortunately, my experience left me pretty disappointed. I ordered a simple bagel with egg, cheese, and bacon. According to the menu on the wall, that should have totaled about $8.75 before tax: the bagel was $4, egg $2, bacon $2, and cheese $0.75. However, they charged me $12 for a “breakfast sandwich” plus an extra $1 for bacon. When I pointed out the price difference, they told me they have to charge the full sandwich price regardless, and they might only change to a “build-your-own” pricing in a few weeks. To add to this, they tacked on a 3.99% credit card fee, even though they use the Square system, which based on their website only charges 2.6% plus a small fixed fee .15 cents . It felt like they were just pocketing the difference. I’ve driven past this place for years and noticed it’s often empty. Now I understand why. The inside looks nice, and I really wanted to like it, but with inconsistent pricing and extra charges that aren’t transparent, the customer service just doesn’t feel fair. Maybe their coffee is good, and that’s why they get some positive reviews, but overcharging people isn’t a great way to do business. I hope they improve."

"Stopped by today and had an AMAZING drink. The Smores cold brew and it was a 10/10. I’ll be back for that! Also had their breakfast sandwich, which was amazing too. Inside is super cute, wish I would have brought my computer to do some work here. Only suggestion is to maybe have some music playing (quietly) on the background. Cute book nook area, and lots of art/craft items for sale. It was very quiet inside, and some music playing quietly would help with that sort of awkward silence. That would be my biggest suggestion. I’ll for sure be back though, music or not. 😁"

"Super cute and cozy place! Don't let the outside appearance fool you like it almost it did to us! It's SO adorable - GREAT food, great prices, and friendly service. Great spot to grab a coffee, bring your computer, meet friends - loved it! Authentic cuban coffee too!!"

"The place is in a good location, the service is good, and the decor is very well done. The coffee is of very good quality, but mine had too much foam and was half empty. However, you could still appreciate the coffee flavor, and it was really good. The Cuban toast is bread soaked in a lot of butter, and at a price of $4, I found it expensive. I think I’ll give them another chance."
