La graine brûlée comes across as a quirky, charming cafe with bold, eclectic decor and a vibe that makes it a go to spot for working or catching up with friends, and it is noted for staying open late which is appreciated. The coffee is repeatedly praised as well prepared and tasty, with a wide range of drinks and snacks and a terrace that is popular for lingering. The space offers many seating options and coworking areas, plus unique touches like private nooks and walls you can write on, creating a creative, study friendly atmosphere, and there is even local merchandise to browse. The staff are generally friendly and helpful, and there is a noted commitment to reducing waste and sustainable choices. It is often described as a must visit in the village and one of the best places in town for studying, socializing, and enjoying a casual meal or drink. Some criticisms appear: a grilled cheese that misses the mark, occasional slow service or crowded hours, higher prices, and occasional uncomfortable seating or sensory issues in bathrooms. Some patrons mention extra charges for takeout cups or portions and size expectations for drinks, but overall the experience remains positive and the place is seen as a standout, vibrant and inviting hub for work, drinks, and socializing.
Cute little cafe to visit. Nice selection of coffees & they also have cocktails. There's also a photo booth, crane machine. I really like they also have a small boutique with local marchandise.
It is the ultimate spot for dates or friends' meet-ups. The funky, mismatched tables & chairs create a vibrant, cozy ambiance. A total must-visit in.They have good variety of snacks & sandwishes + good coffee
Nice artsy cafe, good service & great coffee - I took the cold brew & a lavender lemonade. It's also a great place to work - fast wifi & plenty of power outlets.
I've been coming here over the years & I do enjoy this coffee shop although I was surprised that they charge extra for straws. In an era of continuous health outbreaks, it should be understandable that some people may prefer not to drink directly from a glass. A straw shouldn't be treated as a luxury

I only had coffee, & it was very good. Once again, I will complain about the price. My impression before going there was that the coffee was cheap, it is not. Also, maybe I'm used to the size of a café latte Venti when I ask for a large coffee, it seems I'm always disappointed outside of Starbucks. My feeling is if you will ask seven dollars for a coffee then you better damn well give me a big one. It doesn't cost the coffee shop that much more so just do it. Also I should warn you that they have a strange policy of charging $.50, yes $.50 for a paper cup. Of course they say it's for the environment….. other than those two things the place was quite fun. It seem to be more like a playground for kids than a coffee shop. But it was a fun atmosphere. The staff were very friendly & nice to talk to you.
Super cute coffee shop in a beautiful neighborhood ! It is open late, delicious drinks/snacks, & of course, great staff! The inside is very cozy & has a lot of personality & style, I highly recommend for a date ! I tried the London Fog & it was delicious!
I want to rate this place higher because it is such a cute spot with good coffee, good service, lots of fun drinks & seating, & really good food, but dear lord the bathroom situation is abysmal & is a major reason I don't go here more often. For some reason both bathrooms are only lit with a single string of Christmas lights & one of those Halloween strobe bulbs. That sounds silly but it's dead true, trying to do your business in there is near impossible because it's so dark you can't see & you're also getting flash-banged every 5 seconds. I like this place but I hate having to use my phones flashlight just to use the bathroom.
Super fun place! The best part of this cafe is to drink here your coffee. They have a nice thematic park theme (or something like that…). The caffe is ok, the desserts are good!!
