American Ice Company has had some twists and turns over the last few years with weathering the pandemic, but it remains my favorite coffee place in Westminster. The staff turns over predictably for being close to the college, but in 15 visits, I've never had bad service. It's a great place to read a book or get lunch. My go-to is the chicken curry wrap. It's always clean and has a rustic charm. Stop by and give them a try!

I love everything about this Cafe! I wish there were more around the area. The atmosphere is great. I visited two days in a row for a cappuccino and sandwich. This cafe reminded me of being back in Sweden. Sandwiches are great! I have eaten the Nan-which and the turkey panini. Both great! I really loved the Nan-which. I'd say it's one of my favs so far, but I will keep u posted if it changes. If I had to critique one thing about the sandwiches so far, I would say for the price, there should be some chips included. Both times eating there, I wanted chips. That was the only downside for me. Cappuccino was on point. I added a small amount of sugar-free vanilla syrup, and boy o boy, was it amazing. It's a must try! There is plenty of seating. Downstairs tables and upstairs table and booths. While the downstairs seemed more "put together" and cozy, the upstairs is nice. I think it is still a work in progress. Hopefully, they will give the upstairs some decoration and appeal. Check it out for yourselves and enjoy.

Cute little cafe in downtown Westminster. Handled the early morning rush very well! Had one of their specials, the strawberry matcha latte, and it was delicious!

PREFACE: I can't have coffee or any sort of caffeine for that matter, so I cannot vouch for that. Food's good, though! Big fan of the lox bagel and the hot cocoa. It's not going to knock your socks off but it's a really solid bite to eat. The staff there is super nice and it has a delightfully cozy atmosphere.

Great spot to relax or work with indoor & outdoor seating. Not only good coffee & espresso drinks but also good food. No hesitation to come back here again

3.71 for a small black iced coffee. Never understood why putting ice in it is more expensive. Overall coffee was good. Staff was good. Menu looked good. I loved their sliding glass door bathroom. So stop in if you want coffee shop coffee.
