"This coffee shop is a true hidden gem with a wonderful ambience. The host was incredibly polite and welcoming, making the experience even better. You have to try the amazing cappuccino and the rich, thick Italian drinking chocolate. I absolutely recommend stopping by!"

"NEW no-tipping neighborhood cafe serving strawberry shortcake latte and delicious chocolate chip cookies in Journal Square. I really can’t stand tipping culture. I’d much rather see restaurants pay their workers a fair wage instead of shifting that responsibility onto customers. That’s why it warmed my heart to see Incontro Caffe stated that they pay their staff fairly right on their signage. They even removed the tipping screen from checkout. All menu prices are tax-included, and NO EXTRA CHARGE for alternative milk. More of this, please!! It’s not just a socially responsible community café. The drinks are actually delicious, and the vibes are chill and cozy. Friendly baristas, comfy seating, plenty of space, and a clean, gender-neutral bathroom. So lovely to have them in my neighborhood. ＊Strawberry Shortcake Latte $7 * I really enjoyed the strawberry shortcake latte, which came with strawberry purée, coffee, and a generous plop of whipped cream topped with dried strawberries. The sweetness level was just right. ＊Matcha Strawberry Latte $7 The matcha, on the other hand, leaned more bitter even with the strawberry purée, and I personally think it could’ve used a little less milk or more matcha powder. We even got to sample their Chocolate Chunk Cookie and damn, that was unbelievably delicious! It was a fat and chunky cookie packed with semi-sweet chocolate chips and sprinkled with sea salt. It seriously rivals those famous cookies in NYC."

"What a gem!!! I got the Hojicha Cacao Latte with pistachio milk and I had no expectations coming here, but they exceeded tremendously! The sweetest workers, the vibe, and the space was soo good and so cozy. Will be coming back to try more specialty drinks!"

"Hands down the best café in the area! We tried the iced latte and strawberry matcha—both were absolutely delicious. Best thing was they don’t charge any extra for alt milk. The staff was polite and welcoming, and the cozy vibe made the experience even better."

"This cafe is a true gem. The service was exceptional—the staff member who helped me was so genuinely nice, warm, and welcoming. I tried the almond croissant, chocolate croissant, and chocolate chip treat, and all were perfectly baked. They were incredibly crisp and delightfully sweet. A must-visit spot for incredible baked goods and friendly service!"
