Mcclain's Coffeehouse

Stopped by for an Americano and to wait out traffic after a haircut. I’m glad I did because I love this little place. It kind of feels like an old saloon when you walk in, but it looks like a turn of the century ranch-style house (and I think it may actually be just that). I ordered a veggie wrap and americano. The veggie wrap was very good and came with a Caesar salad. The americano was also very good and went down easy. The girl at the counter was very pleasant and made sure she got my order right and even confirmed that I knew that flavored syrup was a few cents extra. I’ve read some of the reviews on this place and I disagree with most of the negative comments. McClain’s isn’t an upscale, pristine coffee house. It’s an old building and doesn’t try to be anything different. It’s cozy with some old furniture, but very comfortable and has plenty of seating and space. There is also plenty of seating and tables in the front of the building. Parking can be somewhat difficult, but if you go to the back there are some spaces and there is plenty of parking in the residential area on North Street. I’m sure people will complain that it’s too expensive, and it wasn’t cheap. However, in my experience, compared with the major chain coffee places, small coffee houses are pretty much always more expensive. This one wasn’t any different. I’d definitely come back.

Visiting friends in the area and stopped here for a coffee & muffin. I was pleased with both and liked it enough to stop here again the next day before leaving town. Both young women who waited on me were pleasant and helpful. There is seating outside, but it is so loud with traffic and the car wash across the street that the comfy seats inside made more sense to me. Check the bathroom...it is cleverly decorated.

BIG BIG shout out to McClain’s Coffeehouse! This quaint little spot just beyond downtown, out of reach for many of the tourists but home to many very thankful regulars. It’s been a favorite of mine for a years. It is small business owner operated, and continues to update and progress, keeping itself in style with not just art or entertainment but also with their technology. Now debit and credit accessible with a high speed iPad terminal. I need to know who is doing the baking because their pastries are moist, rich and decadent. The sandwiches are a massive value and fresh! coffee is great! All this new stuff has sure to bring in more patrons and that has also made the owner much happier who is providing very inviting hospitality. Thanks McClains!

This is pretty much the only coffee shop with a smoker-friendly patio in a 20 mile radius. Tons of outdoor seating, neat vintage interior, mostly college crowd, open until 3am or sometimes like 2am or 1am depends... disrespectful people and non-customers get a swift rude boot so don't bring em round, ya hear?

All out fantastic place that's open real late. My friends and I come down here to hang and play board games or sometimes study. Owner is very nice so long as you buy something (which is to be expected) atmostphere is great, coffee is fantastic as well as the food she has. I would recommend the cinnamon rolls and the white mocha with whipped cream

One of the few really classic community coffee houses around that really make you feel like you're in your own home with family and friends. This is the place to go to if you really want to feel a college town atmosphere with students and community coming together to get delicious comfort foods of all kinds, hot or cold. It provides a safe space where you can study online, in a Craftsman like living room with comfy seats lounges from that era, while meeting up with friends, or hangouting with your young married family, bringing your well mannered children who can play cards with you, while others study, smoking in comfort socializing outside, getting into their special interest, whether that be playing cards, gaming, or just quietly reading a good book.

I love McClain's, I don't get to go there as often as I would like to but no matter how long I leave for McClain's stays consistent. Great coffee drinks, yummy baked goods, salads & sandwiches & last but not least awesome customer service! Oh, and they're open till 3 am so if you are drinking in DTF, McClain's is a great place to sober up! 😀
