"Not much to look at from outside, but inside there's plenty of seating, including comfy armchairs and a play area for kids. The coffee is great, and you can even see the big burlap coffee bean bags, both empty and full, from all over the world. The baked goods looked excellent, especially the chocolate stout cake, but I just had a bagel and cream cheese - which were very good. The baristas were very friendly and the service was quick. They also sell coffee in bags, and have beer and interesting tonic (soda). I'll definitely be back to enjoy this great breakfast hangout spot!"

"The food is delicious but I’m sure it’s better when it’s hot. After a long time I went up to the counter and found our soup and latte with a film over the surface, and it ended up being pretty cold. I asked the lady there if it was our number, and she literally whispered yes. Please announce the orders so they can be heard. It’s pretty quiet in here today, didn’t think we’d have to hover at the counter to get our food."

"One of the best coffee shops I’ve been to! Service was great and the coffee was delicious! The bakery selection is extensive. I had a warmed and buttered chive and cheddar biscuit…fantastic! There’s lots of seating…plenty of room for conversation and productivity."

"Everyone has a bad day, and the woman working the counter must have been having one. Unfortunately, she was the face of your business today! On to the review...the coffee was fine and the bagel fresh. The pastries looked very nice and the dining area was large and clean. Give it a try if you're in the neighborhood."

"This was our first time visiting Smokestack, and it was great! We got the iced lattes, the herb garlic cheese bread with chive cream cheese, and an Oreo brownie. You can taste the freshness at the first sip of coffee! I'm very impressed. Very cool vibes inside too. Plus, the staff are upbeat and happy to help you (that's hard to come by nowadays)! Can't wait to come back!"
