Empress Theatre Coffee Shop

Very quiet. Cute and quaint little place.

Nice selection of coffee and tea styles in a relaxing atmosphere

Good stop for coffee! Had a nice talk to the owner! (Dutch background).

Coffee was weak, uncomfortable chairs, poor choice of decor and horribly overpriced. Not a proper coffee shop in my opinion, won't go back.

The quality of food and drinks is fairly decent for a small town business. Sometimes it doesn't come out quite right but that's understandable, it happens everywhere (although not necessarily as consistently). The price, however, is outrageous for the quantity and quality of goods and service provided. To get two drinks and a sandwich is well over $20, while at a comparable location like the Corner Bistro, the same meal would be less that $15 (with much more dependable quality). That said, the major downfall of this business is by far the management and staff. The wait times are way too long, caused by a long time issue of understaffing due to budget cuts by management. There is never any assistance of management in the kitchen, attributing to the long wait times. There are many instances while ordering a drink or food that I've seen a staff member rushing to complete everything while the manager stands idly by on her phone. Very disappointed in the quality of this business, and every visit gets worse. Go to the Corner Bistro if you want a good lunch.
