such a cute cafe! It has a nice chill vibe. I feel like I can eat either lunch or breakfast or dinner here but also sit and read a book with an old friend, or just get a cup of coffee to go. I recommend the cafe o lait with oat milk. It is just delicious and baking serving in real mugs if you ask.

I’ve been wanting to visit this cafe since I knew it existed! I was on 280 for a dentist appointment and decided to stop by afterwards for lunch. The location is great for those that live on 280 and the storefront is so cute. I ordered a sugar free brown sugar cinnamon iced latte and the pimento cheese BLT with a side of chips. The prices were great I thought and everything was delicious! The seating in the cafe really caught my eye. I sat on a beautiful red sofa, but there were also comfy armchairs, bar height tables, some other small couches, and even a small row of retro stadium chairs for you to wait for you to-go food in! They also had about 6 outdoor tables as well with umbrellas. Will definitely recommend this to friends out on 280!

First time diners and can’t wait to go back. Very comfortable atmosphere and welcome staff. All the food options looked delicious as did the pastries and cookies. Enjoyed sitting outside on a beautiful day.

My party got dinner in and ate on their patio. It was very sunny and their patio umbrella really helped out. Wverything was clean and it really is a beautiful little Cafe. It was lunch and we all grabbed sandwiches and sodas; I also had a side salad. It was all extraordinarily fresh, tasted amazing and was very filling. The Turkey Club was fantastic and everyone spoke very well of their food. The employees were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable...hard working too. They were watering outdoor plants and checking tables/ customers in a manner you don't see very often anymore. I could not recommend it more. 5

The East 59 Cafe has a private venue room for rentals. We rented the private venue room for a birthday party. It is very spacious. They have a wood wall on one side and twinkle Cafe lights strung up above. The place is so cute and amazing! Would/will definitely rent again. The Event Coordinator Amber is fabulous! She answered all my questions.

Definitely a hidden gem for events off of Highway 280. We hosted an event for 150 people at this cafe. Amber, the owner, was amazingly easy and professional to work with. We were able to set up seating for a talk and then enjoy delicious hors d'oeuvres prepared by the kitchen. All of our guests commented on how incredible the food was, as well as how hospitable the staff was at East 59 Cafe. I write this review as I am about to ask to book their new private room for another event!

East 59 Cafe catered a post wedding brunch for 50 people on October 27th at a friend’s recommendation. Initially, I was concerned about finding a place that could offer a variety of options that were affordable and delicious on a Sunday morning. No worries at all. Amber and the team did an amazing job! Personally, I don’t usually enjoy ‘breads’, but their muffins were moist and packed with flavor. We loved the originality of the breakfast sandwiches as well. Everyone talked about how great the food was, especially the groom’s family. Thank you so much for everything. I will not hesitate to use them again!
