  The iced coffee is really good! They should start using actual iced coffee cups so you get more bang for your buck. I do not like the hot coffee though. It is never hot enough. The people at the counter are nice but the atmosphere is always a little off. Be very careful in the morning. There are a lot of crazy high school kids getting coffee that do not know how to drive. The parking is very bad. Good iced coffee but be cautious!

  I can't in all goodness of my heart support a business run by a selfish lowlife. There is nothing worse being next door to this place. Loud drum circles until midnight and drunk hooligans coming out after only to find broken beer bottles and the front end of your car smashed up. After talking to the owner he has no remorse for any damages caused. Scumbag. I wouldn't recomend it to anybody no matter how tastey the coffee is, it still gives me the shits after. The microwaved breakfast sandwiches are rubbery and wet.

  The place seems awfully disorganized (I know it's really the charm of the lounge to be disorganized, but I'm talking about the kitchen.)
  
  Most of their coffee comes tasting pretty flavored. My mom ordered a regular coffee once and it came out tasting like remnants of old hazelnut syrup.
  
  They regularly offer entertainment. In the recent year they have stopped booking younger, rowdier acts. (Violating noise restrictions...no bueno, this is basically a cafe wedged in a thickly settled area.)
  
  I once came here while there was a juggalo tribute rap group playing.
  
  Not by choice.

  Great coffee, friendly service. It's a small, cozy place. Always clean, and always enjoyable. The owner, Jim, is usually there serving coffee or working on something, and the girls behind the counter are always smiling. My daughter and I love to visit here, grab some drinks and breakfast sandwiches, and watch TV.

  Whenever I get a coffee at Walnut Street Cafe I'm always reminded of the endless amount of hours I spent hanging out with my friends here after high school, waiting for Meag to finish her shift, playing darts and board games, drinking iced coffees and eating bagel sandwiches with a movie or the news on in the background.
  
  I started coming to the place because my best friend used to work here, but I still find myself coming back for coffee long after her employment there because I love their iced coffee and it's a great place to stop into.
  
  Over the year a few things have changed: the cafe has turned into a semi-sorta-venue for local musicians and poets looking to sing or read in close proximity to a crowd that has figured out that, along with coffee and tea, the cafe also serves a quite decent selection of wine and beer. Also, the addition of the enclosed patio on the side of the building (fire pit and all!) has offered a new space for smokers looking to enjoy a cigarette with whatever they're drinking.
  
  All of this change is for the better, but the classic things about the coffee shop that made it great in the first place have remained the same: 1) the coffee is most definitely the best in the city, 2) as I mentioned before: they serve booze, and 3) the atmosphere - couches for seats, family pictures on the walls, books and games on shelves all over the place, the slightly dark lighting and the fireplace, and the employees and regulars offering a bit of local flavor, all add up to a place that definitely feels home-y.
  
  A+: for a coffee place with all the charm of a local pub
