Came here because they're open later than most bakery-type places in downtown so we thought we'd try it out. The first thing I think is weird is that it seems like they're torn between being a restaurant and a cafe. If you order food, you're served like a restaurant but if you order baked goods or coffee, you get a number to take to your table where they come serve you.
Coffee: I got a normal latte to drink. The coffee was pretty strong which I personally liked, but I can see how it's not for everyone. Our drinks came very spaced out from one another, timing-wise. One of them also came in a to-go cup but the others to stay??
Food: I got a slice of the chocolate cheesecake which was DELICIOUS (though pricey). My friend got a cinammon bun, which was served cold and was HARD AS ROCK.
Service: Meh, everyone seemed pretty disinterested. Maybe because it was later in the day (8 pm) but still a bit off-putting
Overall, it seems pretty hit or miss at Alforno. I'd probably go back if in the area, but maybe just for a coffee to go.
