“ Amazing authentic Colombian coffee My number one favorite coffee in the Lehigh Valley. Cute vibes to sit and drink coffee and work or talk. Food is delicious! Desserts are delicious. Arthur is so generous and friendly. ”
“ Absolutely wonderful spot! Came here with my father Anthony who was visiting from New Jersey. He is very picky about his coffee. He LOVED it (as did I). The service was excellent. Arturo, the owner, was exceptional.... Kind, caring, and extremely wise about coffee! He can tell you all about the process of making his coffee. The pastries we got were delicious (I loved the chocolate/cinnamon scone & the Italian “rice ball” with his special sauce!) If you want authentic coffee and pastries, made from the heart... this is the place to go! Thank you so much for your service and kindness to us today. We will absolutely be back! ”
“ Delightful experience, the owner Arturo is fabulous! My friend and I enjoyed cappuccino and pastries on a recent rainy day. We were welcomed by Arturo and he went out of his way to provide us with a special pastry from Portugal and delicious buttery croissants from France. It was a welcoming and unique experience while visiting Allentown. I highly recommend a visit. I’ll definitely be back! ”

“ Oh, my goodness! If you love coffee and delicious food, get yourself over to Baristi NOW! You'll thank me later. My hubby and I ran into Arturo (the owner) as he was delivering coffee to a restaurant. He invited us to his shop and promised us "the best cup of coffee" we've ever had. Folks, he wasn't lying. Arturo roasts and grinds the smoothest Colombia Supremo we've ever had the pleasure to drink. Not only did Arturo and his wife Yudy feed us and serve amazing coffee, we also received an incredible lesson in coffee-brewing. We left both times with full bellies and smiles on our faces. We also came home with 2 lbs of coffee, a ceramic filter and coffee pot along with some edible delights. As far as the food goes, go in hungry and come out sated. The sandwiches (masterpieces, actually) are served with a mouthwatering mushroom salad. The desserts are a must-have. Everything is freshly made as you place your order. Hubby and I left PA with two new friends and a new coffee supplier for our home. Thank you Yudy and Arturo! ”
“ I’ve been here several times and I always have such an amazing experience. The coffee and food is amazing. The atmosphere is so nice and the owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. I will continue to visit this coffee shop every time I’m in town! ”
“ Wonderful coffee, wonderful atmosphere, great retail items that are perfect for rounding out your menu for guests, or if you need a housewarming gift. ”
“ Visiting from NJ. Second time there in two days. It’s 1/2 hour away from where we’re staying. Extremely good tasting latte. Cinnamon Scone and rice balls were well made and very tasty. Arturo took the time out of his busy day and talked with us several times. This was such a nice experience. Highly recommend a visit. They know what they are doing. ”
