Nice little place, but not the most comfortable atmosphere. The coffee isn’t bad, and the sandwiches are pretty good, but this place is built like an echo chamber. All it takes is a few kids for the background noise to reach opera house levels, so avoid if you see families inside. Why don’t more coffee houses in this area have comfortable furniture? What’s with the consistently uncomfortable chairs and the lack of couches?

I live in the tri-city area and had passed this little corner shop numerous times but had never ventured in until just the other day I saw it on . I purchased two of their coupons on that site and mosied on in later that same day. The interior is very different from your usual corporate run of the mill coffee shops. It’s hip and funky. There’s a lot of mish moshed art pieces, random magazines and newspapers everywhere and a variety of seating areas. I ordered a turkey and cheese sandwich(comes with sunchips and a chocolate chip cookie!) and an italian lemonade for lunch.(I meant to try their coffee or tea for my first time in, but I was starving when I stopped in!). The lady and daughter team that run this place are so nice!(and the menu here is HUGEEEE)… The sandwich was yummy and I loved the lemonade! I can’t wait to go back and try some more things with my other groupon! I definitely like this place WAY better then any other«coffee shop» i’ve been in. I happened to stop in about 1−2pm on a thursday afternoon. It was very quiet(only one other customer seated in the place) and people came in and out while I was there(mostly other local business owners and employees getting their daily fix of caffeine)… everyone is friendly with each other and this place has a great«community» feel to it without being boisterous. I will be going back MANY times! :)

Hippies to the back. Limestone, you are a breath of fresh caffeinated air that is more than welcome any given day. A funky and chic coffee hotspot that is perfect to camp out and spend a few hours sipping on freshly brewed coffee or other hot drinks while studying or just taking advantage of your«alone time.» For some ungodly reason, googlemaps blew right past and missed a few steps and I found myself driving through the thin streets of Batavia. On the verge of serious coffee withdrawal I automatically searched out for the green mermaid but found the green signage for Limestone and pulled off asap. Greeted instantly, I ordered the faithful americano and looked over the shop while my drink was getting itself ready for consumption. Quaint little place that is like taking a break in your room, only with the sounds of the coffee grinding and the door opening and closing but apart from that, it’s quiet and relaxed. There is a huge selection of pastry items: pies, a lot of pies, cupcakes galore that are the size of Texas and could steal over any bake sale, muffins and cookies. Tons of choices, ample seating along with windows overlooking Wilson which seems to be the main drag in the town. The coffee hit the spot and I will definitely be marking this place down as somewhere to kick back and enjoy a morning at.

Limestone is hip. Limestone is cool. Art on the walls, the whole bit. They even have a little study room for, studying??? We just played cards in there. It was like being in Alice In Wonderland with the whimsical paint floor to ceiling. Like the other reviewers, I really like the baked goods and they have a Quishe Lorraine that is mouth watering and just the right size for lunch when you’re also planning on pairing with a latte. BUT… the big BUT is… the coffee itself is not a terrific quality. There, I said it. A little difficult, but I said it. Oddly enough, the coffee mediocreness is not enough to keep me away. I still visit about once a week.
