Great place for local coffee and eats! I do wish they opened a bit earlier through the week but hey, we take what we can get!
I call ahead and order the chicken shawarma to go, with hot sauce. They do a wonderful job on put bread, just enough for a full breakfast. Also highly recommend their lamb gyros. Authentic taste and made fresh, don’t forget the hot sauce.👌
Also if you have a sweet tooth, my whole office thinks they have the best baklava in town and rave about it when i bring it in. I typically grab one to go with a hot coffee.
They have ice cream options as well, definitely get an affogato! Their house espresso over a vanilla pecan ice cream 👍
Heads up, no restrooms, and not much seating room. So it fills up fast during the day. Owners and staff are super friendly and willing to make suggestions, they do stay busy in the back preparing food and coffee.
I always recommend this spot to folks traveling through town.

Clean and cozy environment with a store front bench that stretches the window. The baklava was the best I've ever had. We tried the Turkish, Cinnamon, Coffee, and Coconut&Walnut baklava, and they got better and better down the listas we tried each one. We purposefully ordered simple coffees to drink to balance out the baklava, and they turned out well. Not too sweet or bitter.

Today I visited Cello Coffee House for the first time. I enjoyed a late morning breakfast of a latte and veggie shawarma & egg bagel. The bagel was light and fluffy and the egg was cooked to perfection. There were several options of bagel flavors and when I asked for the employee to 'surprise me' I received a plan bagel with lightly sprinkled olive oil and Mediterranean herbs. I would recommend this combination to others as it was delicious. Additionally the location has three small outdoor tables. In the late morning they are in direct sunlight so despite the cooler morning weather it was very pleasant to eat outside.
I was under the impression that Cello was just a breakfast and coffee place but was pleasantly surprised that there is a full lunch and large dessert menu also. I saw baklava, gyro platter and Hummus that I will make an effort to come back and try another day.

Oh wow 🤩 Anyone visiting this area has to try the Arabic ice cream! It has a delicious cardamom flavor. Also, the white coffee was excellent! What is white coffee, you ask? It’s actually green coffee with milk, cardamom, and other spices. It’s pricy, but it’s delectable! Oh and the hummus 🤤 Get over there to try Cello today!!
(Good memories here with my little sis 😊)

Passed this place multiple times, but finally decided to stop in about a month ago and was not disappointed. There were more food choices (whether meals or pastries) than I expected and I was pleased with the surplus of drink options. Whether coffee or tea, smoothies, cane sugar soda, or even Boba Teas; there is something for all tastes. The seating area is small so probably won't have a seat if it's busy, but there are a few seats outside. Service was fast. It's a nice place to catch up with a friend or spend some time away from the activities of downtown. Will go back.
