Sitwell's Coffeehouse: The Sequel

Austin Lutterbach 3 months ago

Sitwell's seems to be going through growing pains as the change in ownership tries to figure out what is the best way to continue the coffee shop's legacy. First. The food. There has been a noticeable decline in the quality of the food as well as the portion size. I don't think the kitchen staff are to blame; rather I think it is the ingredients themselves. Second. The vibes. I think ownership has done well so far keeping the same Bohemian aesthetic of the shop, leaving the interior mostly intact. They are also trying to revitalize some events that made Sitwell's feel unique and integral to the community. I hope they are able to keep that vibe alive as it is what makes it feel so unique among the myriad coffee shops nearby. If the culture of Sitwell's is gone, you've lost your greatest differentiator. One minor complaint is sometimes the music choice does not fit the vibe at all. Taylor Swift or generic bedroom pop clashes too much with the atmosphere. Third. The hours. Hopefully temporary. This place isn't a 8 to 3 coffee shop. I personally find the most joy going here in the evening. I hope they bring back those hours throughout the week. I think Sitwell's has a lot of potent

Coffees are always delicious, great vibes on the inside. Service is always patient and kind. I will say, they are giving you less quantity of food now than a few months ago. I got the loaded hummus plate (delicious) a few months ago and you could share that with 2-3 people. Got it this morning and it was barely enough for one person. Well-made and great flavors, but keep in mind you may be paying for less food than you're used to if you're a regular!

Man, I used to love this place as a vegan. The only po’boy I could eat in town! New owners got rid of that. They offer a tofu banh mi, though, so I ordered that. I asked for it vegan because it comes with mayo. They used to have vegan mayo, and the person at the register told me they still do. Here is what you get if you offer a vegan tofu banh mi under the new Sitwells ownership: two thin slices of tofu, some jalapeños, carrots, and cukes, and dry as a bone. For shame.

Very relax place with friendly staff. Selection of unique chairs and seating options. Very welcoming to all. Got coffee which was good. They have vegan muffins (2) and a gf muffin option.

Amazing vegan/vegetarian food! Lots of options and super kind servers!! There were lots of tables on a Thursday night and sometimes they have live music. Super chill vibes and you order at the counter. They gave us a dessert when we told us it was our anniversary 😍
