East Ave Cafe - Lincoln, California

New local town coffee shop that has been in the works for a long time. The place is nice and there is plenty of seating to enjoy your drink and food. The staff is friendly and does what they can being a staff of one when we visited. Perhaps a second person would help at peak hours.

The food was good, a breakfast sandwich, and an english muffin. Drinks were good, standard coffee shop items which is what you are going there for. This is a good place to go to keep it local for your morning coffee.

A nice new coffee shop has just opened, bringing some much-needed charm to this busy stretch of road. Whether you're in the mood for a rich espresso, a refreshing iced tea, or a caffeine-free option, their menu has something for everyone. Their selection of locally made snacks pairs perfectly with any drink, offering a tasty way to support small businesses. I'm so happy to see this corner used for something like this after growing up down the street and always seeing an unused lot.

The atmosphere is just as inviting as the menu—cozy, stylish, and perfect for catching up with a friend or getting some work done. It's clear that thought went into making this a comfortable, welcoming space. This place is definitely worth checking out!

I love this place. If you're not from East Lincoln, this gem is worth the drive! The owner really has a heart for the community, and it shows in all of the little things. First, this place is non-profit! They have lots of special diet options, kid-friendly options, seating both indoors and outdoors, a welcoming atmosphere (bring your laptop!)... the staff is so kind and friendly, what a refreshing change! I came and sat for a while and people-watched. From what I can tell, the manager is very accommodating, so if the order isn't up to your standard, he's happy to make it right. This is my new favorite spot.

We have been on a quest for the best coffee spot in the area. Was excited to try the new spot everyone is raving about. Walked in with a cute little cozy seating area ordered our drinks and some walnut loaf bread and a chocolate loaf. Service was great and fast. Enjoyed the seating in the brown comfy chairs. Loaf cakes weren’t amazing but also understanding they are new. Excited to try it out and will be back again to see how they have grown!

Went here for the first time today. Wow, what a great little coffee shop! Relaxing atmosphere and their lattes are perfect! Also tried a jalapeño cheddar English muffin that was very good.(They warmed it up for me). Definitely will come back and tell my family and friends!

Had been looking forward to trying this place out. I ordered drinks and pastries to go but I unfortunately had a similar experience as the other reviewer, Nathan M. The Iced vanilla latte I got looked like a cup of snow. There was no espresso in taste or in color. It ended up being vanilla flavored milk. I would have asked for it to be remade but I was short on time. Ended up adding a shot of espresso to it once I got home which saved the drinks flavor.
My wife was happy with her coffee and the pastries that we got were good enough, just not as soft as we'd prefer.
Staff and environment were great. Very cozy and welcoming!
I'm hoping my experience was just because this place is new. I'll give it another shot in a month or so.

East_ave is such a warm and welcoming spot—perfect for a mom meet-up, family outing, or even a cozy work session. The space is family-friendly with a relaxed atmosphere, and Darla was incredibly helpful and kind. The vanilla latte was delicious! Highly recommend this charming cafe!

I ordered an Iced mocha and it was undrinkable. It was almost White as if it had some coffee and tons of milk. There didnt seem to be ANY syrup in it. Really strange.

The staff is VERY friendly and personable. Hopefully, over time, they will gain better skills on the drink making as there is lots of potential here. I think I will stick with Starbucks for now. Stinks too because I live right down the street from the cafe.
