M L R Coffee House hit the sweet spot! From the cozy vibes to the smell of fresh brews, it felt like stepping into the ultimate chill zone. The baristas were friendly, knew their stuff, and served up cups of happiness. The space is perfect for everything from catching up with friends to pretending you're writing the next great novel. If you're into great coffee, great people, and a sprinkle of maple magic, this place is where it's at. Check out the pictures associated with the review and follow on IG @ifooditravel

Beautiful coffee shop with so much space. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The coffee is strong, could use more flavor but still good. The amount of options is fantastic, they have a great variety of specials.

This place has changed hands a few times over the past 10 years, but this is by far the best of them. Stopped in on a late Saturday morning and the place was busy. Had the nitro cold brew, it was excellent. Also had a blueberry lemon scone and it hit the spot. Great room too. Very cozy and easy to get comfortable. 4 stars only because of my limited experience, but I have no negatives. Cool place to meet up and hang.

This place has a phenomenal environment. I’m drinking out of a ceramic cat mug! Carolyn helped me step out of my comfort zone to try a pistachio latte - it was delicious!! And I am not one to put milk or flavoring into my espresso. Had the avocado toast which was a good value and tasted great! (The Roman) I would highly recommend.

I came here for afternoon tea during their extended hours with my husband and parents-in-law, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The staff were warm and welcoming, the space was beautiful, and our family truly appreciated both the bakery offerings and the extended menu. The tacos really hit the spot—even my father-in-law, who’s an avid griller, was impressed by the quality of the beef! I’m already planning to bring my friends next Friday to share this lovely experience with them.

The most amazing breakfast sandwich I've ever had. I got the bacon egg and yum, its incredible. You know when a breakfast sandwich is too big and even though it tastes good, you feel a little gross after? not a problem here. The specialty coffee flavors are so good. On top of all that its the perfect spot with a view of the river.
