Wonderful community vibe, friendly and attentive waitstaff, delicious coffee and yummy treats. 10/10, no notes!

I love the dirty chai lattes and the lavender vanilla scones! I highly recommend going for a meetup with a friend or a study sesh. The coffee is great and the atmosphere is very nice. The staff are kind and friendly.

Much better experience having gone multiple times since my initial visit. Gotta give credit where it is due.

The coffee was good as was the service but it was a little pricey and compared to the other coffee place in town, the vibe was bland.

Very good drinks but hit or miss food as far as non-pastries are concerned. Bagels are sometimes slightly stale.

Very cute little spot for good cup of coffee! Fun atmosphere and the moment you enter you feel welcomed by the wonderful hypnotic smell of coffee!

Only came in for a drink but had a positive experience. I'm very picky about my chai -- i would give theirs a 7/10. I liked the spice levels but it tasted a little burnt. My fiancé ordered french press and loved it. Staff was polite and everything seemed very clean. Lots of seating!

A great place for coffee. It's also for a vegan pastry. Slow Train Cafe may imply a laid back atmosphere. For the most part this is the how it is. The service is prompt thankfully. By far the most important thing here is coffee. Good thing it's really good. The prices aren't that bad despite being in a hip college town. It's about $2 for a medium drip coffee. The pastries are good too. It has several vegan kinds. The last time they had a vegan jumbo power muffin. The pastries usually are about $2 to $3 depending on what kind you get, and they also have a few sandwiches. It cares much about the environment. It won't provide plastic stirrers. You can get a metal one that you can keep and bring it back with you.
