The atmosphere is really nice! Is very clean and pretty! The staff are nice and friendly! The specialty drinks are very tasteful! I got Honey Lavender Latte Iced with Almond milk and my daughter got Ice Blue Butterfly Matcha with Oat milk both very tasteful!! For food we got The West Coast ( scrambled eggs, cheese, arugula, avocado and tomato on sourdough bread) and my daughter got The Scenewich (fried egg, brie, prosciutto, caramelized onion, honey mustard and arugula on a croissant) Presentation made the food looks like it was delicious! It tasted good however lack of flavor ☹️ Overall just the specialty drinks and atmosphere makes it a great hangout!

I loved everything about this place, not a single detail was missed! The Scene is one of the most stunning coffee shop/bars I’ve seen in our area without a doubt, so chic and timeless which is exactly the kind of place the capital region needed. Me and my parents all ordered different kinds of coffee and they were all delicious, I used to work at a coffee shop and I personally know how hard it can be to make a genuinely good latte/coffee, etc and it was spot on. The food was great, and the service was even better! Every staff member we encountered greeted us with a smile and were SO friendly. I cant wait to come back over and over again!

HANNAH was absolutely amazing !!!!!! 10/10 she made our experience absolutely outstanding. I was a little hesitant when I first walked in because the staff at the main counter was very unhelpful as it was our first time here since you just opened. We got lucky and found a seat at the bar and Hannah took amazing care of us answering all our questions and making amazing drinks. The food was fantastic and the drinks were delicious. I was really sad to find out we couldn’t tip her in cash as she did all the work. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made amazing cocktails! I definitely recommend coming to see Hannah for all your drinks I will definitely be back whenever she’s here! And quite honestly, Hannah deserves a raise!

I’m traveling from Charleston, SC and couldn’t wait to try this place! The atmosphere is modern, chic, and clean. Customer service was wonderful as well. I had the West Coast breakfast sandwich and the Carmel Mach latte with almond milk! They were perfection!!

The Scene is already an extremely busy business that has taken off. Not sure if they underestimated the business flow but they do not have the parking to support how busy they are. This is definitely going to be a premier coffee shop in the area. The service was fast and friendly. My iced cinnamon french toast latte had great espresso flavor and strength but I think the barista forgot to add the rest of the flavor syrups because it tasted like a regular latte. It was still a great latte and will definitely go back.

The Scene was an absolute amazing experience! The Turkey and cheese panini, French toast latte, and Caramel macchiato were delicious! Everything was just the right amount of portions. The staff were friendly, attentive, and checked on us to see if we were enjoying our meals. The wait to get served wasn’t long either. The aesthetic and music was a 10/10. This is a great place to relax with your girlfriends or family that the capital region needed. I will definitely be back for more

We had fun at this new place. Annoyingly there is no way to either make a reservation or to get in a virtual line (the latter of which I recommended to them as other cafe style places succeed with this strategy to reduce annoying hovering and fighting for tables). But once we were lucky enough to get a spot at the bar (which makes it impossible to talk 4 people all together) we were nicely taken care of by bartender Zach! Food was all to our liking (including gf bread) and the coffee drinks were good (we were surprised by the fact the shaken espresso came sweetened bc it didn’t mention that). The bubbly vending machine was a fun touch!

It was my friend and I’s first time here and it was absolutely fantastic. We were a bit confused walking in a first, but someone greeted us shortly and explained the ordering process, she was extremely helpful! Everyone there was extremely nice and helpful, that being said. The food and coffee were delicious! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to come again soon!

Amazing atmosphere. Excellent food. Beverages are top tier and highest quality. The staff is very friendly and service is perfect. 10/10 have and will continue to recommend this location to everyone I know. The location is perfect and right next to major shopping centers. I cannot wait to see how the menu evolves as this place is open for a while.
