I keep coming back to Artizen Cafe, and it's easy to see why. The baristas are super friendly and always suggest the best drinks, which makes the whole experience feel personal rather than just another coffee run.I love how inventive they are with their seasonal lattes that actually taste as good as they sound. The lavender honey one surprised me with how well-balanced it was. And while I usually just grab coffee, the sandwiches here have turned me into an occasional customer - the bread is always fresh, and they don't skimp on the good ingredients.What really makes this place special is how versatile it is. They have a work space upstairs for people that need to use their laptops and I always see lots of people in the neighborhood who swing by, yet the space somehow accommodates everyone without feeling chaotic. The lighting is just right, the music is great, and there's always at least one open seat by the window. It's become my go-to spot when I want to treat myself to something nicer than chain coffee shops but don't want to deal with pretentious cafe attitudes. Just consistently good drinks, tasty food, and a welcoming vibe.

I really liked this coffee, super cozy space that doubles as a coffee shop and a coworking space, the coffee was delicious and de bakery even more, I had the almond croissant and I loved it. They roast their own origin coffee and make their own blend, they even have filtered methods. Would definitely come back !!!

Great space with beautiful decor. There’s always new, great food and drinks being added to their menu. They have great, personal service that I really appreciate. Their co-working space is a life saver in the Riverdale area. They offer quiet personal rooms that are great for my meetings when I need to brainstorm. 10/10 recommend.

I love Artizen! Their iced vanilla lattes and almond croissants are my favorites. The atmosphere is also really nice.
