Such an awesome vibe here! Coffees are great every time, and I love trying the specials in different times of the year. Music is always on point, and the baristas are super friendly. There’s also great food - the various crinkle cookies are irresistible.

A Moscow fav this quaint cafe offers a variety of delightful sweet confections as well as some savory fare. The cappuccino was delicious according to my seasoned friend who explained to me how they drink and how to experience a proper capp.

Café Artista in Moscow is truly a gem, and it's become a regular stop for me whenever I'm in town. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a wonderfully lit space that's whimsically decorated, offering an abundance of comfortable seating options – whether you prefer a window seat, a table, or sinking into their cozy sofas and chairs. What truly sets this cafe apart, besides its inviting atmosphere, are the incredibly good prices. Seriously, you won't believe the value, especially for Loves Kombucha growler refills – it's an absolute steal! And if you have a sweet tooth, prepare to be delighted; their baked goods are consistently delectable. But what really impressed me and speaks volumes about their community-minded spirit is a fantastic offering I discovered in the bathroom. They have a cabinet with clearly labeled drawers for "DIAPERS," "FEMININE" products, and what appears to be "FIRST AID" items, accompanied by a sign that simply says, "Please Take What You Need From Drawers." This thoughtful touch is just another example of how Café Artista goes above and beyond for its patrons. If you're looking for a cafe with great coffee, a charming ambiance, delicious treats, fantastic prices, and a heartwarming commitment to its community, look no further than Café Artista. Highly recommend!

Café Artista and its owner’s work hard to provide an all around wonderful experience with great food, drink, atmosphere, and inclusion. The coffee is some of the best in the area and the cinnamon chai bread is literal perfection. As a wheelchair user it’s one of very few places that is accommodating from seating to bathroom access and everything in between.

Been coming here for about 4 years now and I love that this is my go-to spot. It’s welcoming, baristas are friendly and always make my drink just right, and the physical space has a lot to offer. There is plenty of seating, it varies from comfy couches and love seats to big tables and standard chairs. Every spot is a good one so you can hear your drink getting called out to you. The art all over the walls is always one of my favorite things to check out. I love meeting up with friends and colleagues here and they tend to enjoy it also. This coffee shop also gives directly to a local food bank in the area and that means a lot to me. I like to know that the businesses I frequent are helping the community and treating people right :) love this place, don’t ever change 💖

My friend and I went here once we both got the same drink a vanilla white chocolate latte. I got it hot. She got it iced. I don't know what is wrong with her. It was like 18° out. It was fire though. Ty!

Beautiful coffeehouse! Friendly baristas with a full line of coffee,chai, and tea, plus delicious food offerings at reasonable prices. Quiet corners for laptop use and conversation, and no hurry to leave. This is all due to the well-designed Floorplan that allows for flow between several rooms--including one for children. Love the many positive posts, and especially the communial drawing patrons can add to! This place also offers an opportunity for groups to gather in off-hours with prior arrangements made with management. A true community gem! My favorite place!

The Cafe Artista management and staff are welcoming and helpful. I love the art on the walls, the range of tables and seating, and a puzzle table for all to help. The baked goods and drinks are great! We enjoy the scones, muffins, quiche, and sometimes the burritos. I need to remember to have an insulated mug in the car to help the environment when I get a chai latte (avoid disposables). Thanks to Lisa, Bev, and the team!
