Cafe Novo is really good at being what it is.
Is it trying to be Manic or Crema? No (and thank freaking god for that). What it is, however, is one of the friendliest cafes I've ever been to, has reliable coffee (though they really should use smaller…More »

The five stars here isn't so much a "OH MY GOD THIS PLACE IS SO AMAZING I'M MOVING IN UPSTAIRS" as it is a more subdued "I've never been disappointed, and they do everything that I would expect them to."
They roast on site, and actually do it well,…More »
This is just what.....Annette Street needed?
Great space, great coffee, pretty good baked goods and general atmosphere. Treads the line between the ultra-social and a productivity zone quite well, and the different little areas around the cafe allow…More »

Generally, pretty great. The coffee is reliable, the staff are usually unpretentious, and the space is really nice. Just a few cons though:

This is one of those places that I really wanted to like. Good concept, good product mix, good prices, nice space.
Though, like many before have commented, it falls apart with the staff. I honestly believe that they try, but it just doesn't cut it.…More »

My feelings are mixed. Historically, I've really liked it. Usually awesome coffee, good food, all reasonably priced, and a nice back patio.
Recently, however, I haven't been so convinced. I think I've just hit them on two off days lately, but once,…More »

There's nothing to make me dislike this place, but also nothing really to make me like it. The place is nice looking, though it feels a bit contrived, service is usually somewhere between apathetic and friendly, and they have a good food selection I…More »
