Hopes and dreams in a cup! Delicious coffee that everyone should make a point to come in and try. I had a simple Americano with light water and it was divine. Highly recommend!

Amazing coffee and decor. Truly a hidden gem! Best coffee in town One small area to improve would be - The old building smell (especially in the back where the bathroom is) is a bit too much for me unfortunately. That is probably the reason I don't go there as often. If they would put some Febreze plug-ins to neutralize that smell, it would probably help a lot as smells are hugely important to the customer experience. Other than that, it truly is a hidden gem!! Amazing Amazing coffee. Best in town

We stopped at The Penny for afternoon coffee and dessert, had some tea lattes and homemade carrot cake which was delicious! Great atmosphere, well worth a stop when in Mission!

The Penny Cafe has a unique aesthetic that gives the establishment a relaxing aura. I once stayed there a long time ago, just to do some reading, and it felt almost like reading at home in a good way. I have recently tried their lattes, and it was decent. Every time I come there, I would try a different coffee concoction and have enjoyed every one of them. I also had their Turkey & Cranberry Panini that was very good. Their muffins and Vegan Brownies are great too, so I highly recommend trying them. I very much like coming to the Penny, and everyone else should try it as well.
