The Only Cafe

We recently hosted an event at The Only Café, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how everything turned out. Liz and her team were absolutely fantastic—attentive, professional, and so easy to work with. The venue was a perfect fit for our gathering, offering a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere that made everyone feel welcome. The live music added an amazing touch, creating just the right vibe for the evening. If you’re looking for a unique, versatile venue with great service, The Only Café is the place to go. A huge thank you to Liz and her staff for helping make our event such a success! PS, Order up the Pretzels. They were delicious! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great place, great local berr on tap and regular live music. Recommend the blues jam on the third Thursday of every month.

One of my favorite cafe in the area! Their Mocha is really good (10/10), the chocolate is the perfect sweetness, and the coffee is also perfect. I also got the blueberry banana bread, it was pretty decent and really worth the price $ 3.2 , definitely an 8/10. The cafe is always crowded, but in general, it shouldn't be too hard to get a table. Place is cozy and clean, highly recommended!

I only walked around, don’t know about the food but they’re open very late and have multiple areas to sit. Check my pics. Parking is green P and street parking

This is one of my favorite places to go to study (although it can be very loud). The sprinkle cookies here are probably my favorite cookies on earth. If I could, I'd eat these cookies every day for the rest of my life. My go-to is an Iced Vanilla Matcha latte! 10/10 or a Caffè Americano 9.5/10 The staff is very friendly. The water here is free! You can grab a pitcher of water, it is next to a fridge filled with drinks (the drinks are not free), and there are cups right beside it as well.

Ok, first time I went, it was pure chaos and I wasn't a fan, but it's grown on me. The staff really are personable and the beer selection is great. It's dive-y in a good way. I think I'm hooked. I'm not a fan of unnecessary live music, and don't think it should be a thing on a Friday or Saturday at a place that is so obviously popular, so they lose a point for that, but otherwise, I'm now loving it.

Have been coming here almost daily for coffee since moving into the neighborhood five years ago. The staff are like family and go out of their way to treat my children with kindness and enthusiasm. Coffee is Detour and there is no charge for alternative milks. I miss when they had a lunch/dinner menu! But the snacks and pastries they have now are really good also. My favourite back patio in the city.

The Only Cafe is the most popular cafe/bar in this neighborhood. It’s less than a min walk from Donlands station. I really like the coffee and pastries here. Their salads and yogurt/cereal jars are also very yummy （vegan& gluten free) ! The atmosphere is great, very warming and cozy. They often have events and bands playing live music. It’s a great place to relax, to meet people and to hang out with friends. I come here mostly during the day for coffee, but if you like beer, they have a huge collection of beers. Great fun in the bar. Highly recommended!
