The coffee and teas here are plentiful and the baristas serve them up well! The salads, soups, sandwiches and assorted finger food are generally healthy, and local. The espresso eggs are YUMMY and their green salad with pesto dressing also. The back patio is a great place for conversation, while the back room is perfect for laptop enslavement among the... more

I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I frequent Linnaea's because of the wonderful atmosphere. They have a lovely brick patio out back with a small fountain that is appealing during the day or at night. It's a great place to meet a friend for coffee and talk for a while. more

It's been here since 1983, and hasn't changed a bit. Excellent coffee and fantastic desserts. Wonderful garden in the back. Inside it's cozy -- like your Aunt Gertrude's living room. And there's a great people-watching spot up front. Perfect spring/summer place to stop for a cup of tea or coffee. This is a liberal crowd though...so if this kind of... more

I have been to Linnaea's many times (like 25) over the last 10 years.. Food is simple and great--Breakfast burrito, home made desserts, daily specials. Expresso drinks put Starbuck's to shame-- Best of all to me is the setting---reminds me of my younger college days. The front faces the street and you can sit and watch the people go by... more
