    Hands down, some of the best tasting coffee I ever had. Nice relaxing atmosphere and spacious enough to accommodate small groups.

    Jacob, the owner, is very friendly and goes out of his way to make sure your visit is great.

    Check this place out...you will love it.

    Constructive criticism: there's no gluten-free options. My mom is very sensitive to gluten. When she went there she asked instead of toast could she get extra fruit instead, they gave her one extra orange slice

    My In-Laws really like Cottonwood Bistro and usually want to go there when in town. I am somewhat less of a fan. Perhaps it's because they live for mocha this and latte that. But I am not a coffee drinker so the appeal of someone pouring hot water over ground up beans does not draw me in, thus my review is more about their food and customer service. And for me both are hit or miss. Some menu items are overpriced while others seem more reasonable. They do a pretty good job with the basics but some of their more "creative" menu items seem to be a bit more of a struggle and don't always seem to turn out right. The same inconsistency could be said about their customer service. Sometimes they are fast and friendly, other times I feel like they are annoyed that I interrupted them with my patronage. Overall it has never been so bad that I would drop them down to 2 stars, but it has also never been so good that they deserve 4 or more. To me Cottonwood is just an average place that I go to every once in a long while for an average dining experience.

    Cottonwood is my favorite place in town to get coffee and breakfast.  The dishes are fairly priced and the atmosphere is nice and quiet in the mornings.  They have a good offering of baked goods, breakfast and lunch plates, and coffee/espresso.  The employees are always nice and attentive as well.  The only complaint I can think of (and it's very minor) is that the homefries were a little bit undercooked for my taste.  Their chocolate chip cookies are stellar.

    This place is great despite what the others say.  If you've ever been to a coffee shop you should know a cappuccino isn't sweet like the ones you get at a gas station.  Awesome food and coffee is amazing.
