Loved the Cafe Mocha
I loved this quaint little cafe! I ordered my cafe mocha, got great service with a lovely smile and a scrumptious cookie too! I made myself at home on the couch and flipped through the paper. I even did a little wishful thinking about which piece of Stam chocolate I'd like to devour on my next visit!! I also checked out the menu for my next lunchtime visit. I'm looking forward to their yummy sounding Chicken Salad or even the Panini sandwiches!!    [02 May 2007 12:32:02]

Colors
It's a nice cafe.

Colors are nice...

Maybe some more lighting options to bring out the floor patterns.

Utilize better signing to promote sales.

50% price cut with in the first month is a bit too much in my opinion with the Stam Chocolates.

Use Gloves when handling ready-to-eat foods, or wash hands once a guest enters your front door to ensure your hands are clean for distribution of ready-to-eat foods.

Perception is either going to keep this cafe alive or it won't.


Good Luck in the first 2 yrs of operation.

Look forward in seeing you in Altoona for a long time!! They needed a good Cafe.    [24 Jun 2007 17:23:52]

Great potential in Coffee House
Coffees and smoothies are outstanding, just a little slow, but worth the wait. Chocolates and cookies are very fine!

Please hand the food at the drive through on a napkin, rather than by hand. Fill the cup to the brim. Double check this process--only true complaint!

Always a smile to greet you. In summer, the music on the grounds is so nice. Look forward to seeing that again in 2008.

Menu is nice. Work on personality of space layout within. It is not yet quaint enough.    [15 Jan 2008 18:43:38]

DELICIOUS and RELAXING.... Does it get better?
I think Hollander is an amazing coffee shop. They have great customer service, super fun personalities! The staff is so nice. If mistakes are made, they will correct it ~ NO ISSUES!!! Their pastries look delicious followed by their showcase of chocolates. The foods I've seen others order look delicious. The design of this coffee house is great, nothing like a welcoming feel right when you walk in. I love the soothing colors and calm feel it has. The family and I go here monthly to catch up in the mornings, and individually on our own times.

This is a fantastic coffee shop that I would suggest to as many people as possible. I would suggest the chocolate, hazelnut or French vanilla cappucinos.. they're great and served with a delicious little cookie. Could one get better? Honestly.. CHECK THEM OUT! Oh and another benefit, it's NOT geared toward all older people. Everyone is made to feel welcome.    [20 Feb 2008 15:46:08]
