However, it can be difficult to find a table, so I wouldn't count on being able to sit down and work there.

I was thrilled to find out they serve cappuccino freddo, which I hadn't had since my trip to Greece, and it was just perfect! I also appreciate that they ask if I’d like cinnamon.

The decor of this place is what made me visit it in the first place! Loved it! I got a cold brew coffee that did not disappoint! read more The decor of this place is what made me visit it in the first place! Loved it! I got a cold brew coffee that did not disappoint!

We were excited to try Cafe Deko and when we got there we loved the ambiance and vibe. However, a few minutes after sitting down I pulled out my oatmeal and started eating it (we also had already bought coffee). The barista yelled from across the room while behind the counter making coffee, and motioned to me that I can't eat here. It was odd and kinda rude the way he went about it. I completely understand the rules of no outside food but I would have appreciated him walking up to us and explaining that there is no outside food allowed rather than the impersonal and condescending way he did it. This is not an ideal place to go to get work done and God forbid you bring your own food, even though you are still supporting them by buying coffee! The whole experience wasn't great so my friend and I left right after. Be mindful of this when visiting!
