The environment of the seating area was not particularly pleasing, the service was below average. The cigar and food menu was not particularly anything to die for, it was just basic dishes and basic cigars. The portion sizes were very small and the presentation of each selection was pathetic....on par with Denny's. There collection of cigars are overpriced more than 100% from retail price. Which would be foul play from any other local cigar lounge. Cigars on 5th has just fallen back to some default style service and presentation...or it was always some stuffy cramped style cafe that has been surpassed by much more elegant styles of service, food presentation, and cigar choices. Save yourself the money and go somewhere else.

My friend had to drop her son off close to this shop. She had tried it out the other day and loved it! So much she decided to take me. I didn’t get coffee this time but I had an egg white soufflé that was really quite good.. light and airy with a little spicy kick- very good. I got a blueberry muffin for my friends kiddo and he loved it! The view here is outstanding at this time of year with all the jacaranda trees lining the streets… absolutely beautiful! There were some men smoking cigars and it looks like this place has a great selection of cigars and alcoholic beverages…they were having a great time socializing and talking about the different cigars with the owner/or employee…. The man (looks like a college kiddo) was so friendly, helpful and suggested one soufflé over another and i love when they do that if you ask… love and know your product… and they do. They also seem to get a lot of joy out of their work cause smiles are everywhere. Very enjoyable coffee/treat with my friend— whine I do not get to see enough… you won’t regret it—- i mean really in hillcrest can you go wrong? This place is pretty special though! Right next door is a thrift shop where they have a couple racks with 1$ items…..check it out too! I would just come here regularly to soak up the beauty, friendliness and the sunshine….. people watching is just a side benefit.
This cigar shop has a top of the line selection. Coffee shops is an added benefit for a quick caffeine rush to complement your cigar choice. Atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. If you find your self in area it’s worth a look.
A great little neighborhood space to enjoy a good cigar and wine/beer or an awesome coffee drink from the adjacent Quiet Storm Roasters. The sidewalk area has become a fun hangout area to catch a ballgame on the big screen, play a round of backgammon, or catch up on good conversation. Great staff and owners!
Great choice of Cigars and very good drinks plus pastries. The vibe was so chill and relaxing. Their radio was playing some smooth jams. Love it.
