There are quite a few drink choices, even for people who cant drink coffee or tea. Nearly all the food is Vegan (with the exception of Ms. Bettys Treats, which are clearly marked as containing eggs). The food portions are really big! The burritos are sometimes the size of my forearms!!! I absolutely love the cookies and Ms. Bettys brownies. Theyre huge, and they go really well with a Large Hot Chocolate on a cool night. Some people might balk at a 2.75 brownie, but its a big as a sandwich. Ive never actually managed to finish one on a casual night at All Saints. I usually take more than half of it home with me. The atmosphere is really laid back, and the music really depends on who is working. You can get into some really interesting conversations with the Baristas during the Rocket Shift (midnight to 6 am). Its got free wifi, and bills for pretty much all the shows in town. The art on the walls is always interest, and changes about once a month. You can even buy some of the pieces. If you smoke, they have a nice little patio section (also useful if you have a dog!) One caution though, is, if youre going to be using the Ladies, check to see if theirs TP! Its usually there, but when college budgets get tight, it tends to go missing. The writing on the walls is not to be missed! If youre lucky, you can catch the occasional zine on the rack by the front door. They also have the ANSWER paper when it comes out (first come, first serve). If you are interested in anything progressive or involving punk culture in town, youll be sure to see plenty of friends

Ive only been here three times, but thats enough to know I wont go back. The first time I stopped in with a friend to grab some drinks to go. Mine was THE WORST chai I have ever had. I think it may have been instant and they didnt bother to mix it, because it was gritty in addition to tasting awful. The next time I went there late at night to study a couple semesters ago before Strozier went back to 24hr. I ordered a drip coffee; it was a little weak, but not too bad. Unfortunately I couldnt really study, because the crappy scene music was blaring loud. Also, I tried sitting on 3 differnt couches. The first one was lumpy, the second one was lumpy and dirty, and the last one was dity and smelled like mildew and urine. The last time I took a chance on All Saints was a couple months ago. The first thing that irritated me was the fact that the guy who was supposed to be working the counter was instead having a conversation with someone at one of the tables. He saw me waiting there, he looked directly at me, then went back to his conversation. Once he finally came over to take my order, he said, "Yeah, what do you want?" Also, he smelled like he hadnt bathed in a week. Once I finally got my coffee, it was terrible; very weak and tasted burnt. If youre considering going here just because its the only 24hr coffee shop in Tally, dont do it. McDonalds is open 24hrs too, and they have better coffee and service.

Hazelnut italian soda was really good! service was excellent considering that me and hubby were filipino/colombian. We havent tried their coffee yet but soon we will thats why i gave this coffee shop 4 stars. The lady server was actually very helpful to us and shes very, very sweet, and i dont see any rudeness about them but i also believe if youre a customer with a horrible attitude, dont expect theyll bow down to you either. THEYRE NOT YOUR SLAVES. As for those ladies who were complaining here? if youre a student and wants a free wifi? GO TO THE LIBRARY! its not that far from the area, because you are unknowingly killing the local business with your ignorance. You cant simply do things your way and be bratty about it. Wifi is not free and so as electricity, all saints needs to pay their bills too so be considerate. Although i was overwhelmed by the smell of the coffee shop. Manager should install an automatic air freshener for those people who comes and stays in there WHO DOESNT BATHE AND SMELLS LIKE SWEATY NUTSACKS! i dont see any roaches or pests running around at night during our stay there for hours either. We will continue supporting this cafe as weve experienced a good service.

All Saints Cafe is situated in the quirky All Saints district of Tallahassee, which is lauded for its commitment to the arts and its notion of staying weird. The neighboring Gaines Street and its encroachment of student housing has done little to effect the integrity of this coffee shop. The staff is delightful, consistent, and frequently interacts with the regulars. The mix and match sitting areas offer a variety of spaces and settings to read, work, or what have you. Inside, it can get a little loud when the building fills up or when the espresso machine is running, but over all it is very conducive to work in. Often times, the main area of the coffee shop can get a little toasty, and every now and then the popcorn machine on the second level runs and fills the room with noise and the scent of fresh popcorn. There is a small front porch where one can hang their bike, watch people pass by, or simply get some fresh air. There is also a high fenced back patio area that can be reached through the back of the shop. The biggest downside to All Saints Cafe is the limited parking. Personally, I think their chai tea lattes make up for that though.

Dirty atmosphere and incredibly rude staff, to the point where they act as if it were an inconvenience to serve you coffee. Order for a small coffee will get you a barista rolling their eyes at you. The coffee is average; the chai is disgusting (gritty both times). However, the food is pretty good. The attitude seems to be that they WOULD clean the place and provide good service but that would be conforming, and then they would be too much like Starbucks. Only redeeming quality is that it is open twenty-four hours, but this is not enough to bring us back. Recently, a friend accidentally spilled her drink by the milk/sugar bar and was nice enough to try and clean it up with some napkins. The helpful barista told her "dont worry. Ill bring you a mop" and sure enough proceeded to hand her a mop to clean up the spill. If you are a fan of customer service, forego all saints. If you cant do the corporate starbucks/panera experience, try Redeye.

Pros: Open 24/7, far enough away from FSU/FAMU campuses that you can study in peace without it being so far that its unreasonable to make the trip, wireless internet, lots of electrical outlets, close to the Fermentation Lounge, lots of vegan food and desserts if youre into that. I like the way the place looks. Cons: Mediocre coffee served lukewarm, bugs, poor lighting for studying, questionable hygiene of baristas, leaks in the roof, the surrounding area is kind of shady. Also, the internet is pretty damn choppy here. Not a good place to do online research. Most of the people here (myself included) are not here for the food or coffee. I think its an ok place for grad students that live near campus and want to get away from the frat noise. Its also a cool place if youre on your way to/from the Fermentation Lounge.
