Absolutely perfect shop! Full of creative artwork and kind people. I did not catch my server's name but he was fun, kind, and super sweet! It was my first time in the shop, and he asked my drink preferences and recommended a delicious blended coffee. Wonderful experience and a perfect atmosphere to vibe in. Highly recommend the Caterpillar Cafe :)
Best little Cafe in all of Richland. Check out the records or Adventures Underground. Baristas there are passionate about their craft and great conversationalists.
