The Terra Cotta Coffeehouse is the perfect place to make your new, favorite, near-by coffeehouse. Located right in the middle of downtown Alfred, it is just a few minutes walk from anywhere in the town.
We serve several varieties of gourmet coffee beans, organic tea, spicy chais, and much more. Our extensive deli menu allows you to enjoy artisan sandwiches, fresh focaccias, or wraps along with healthy salads, pastries, and desserts. Our food is freshly made and tastes delicious!
The selection of specialty teas, iced drinks, soft beverages, and other non-coffee items is extensive and unmatched anywhere else in the area. For many, the high-quality food and drink are the biggest reason to come here. Especially Tuesdays for the deal on our famous focaccias! Buy one get one half off!
The menu isn't the only reason to stop in. We welcome everyone to come in and just hang out. The atmosphere is laid-back and cozy with a funky vibe to it. The interior is gorgeous and features a lot of student artwork from the local Alfred University, one of the finest ceramic schools in the world. Look up to see our rafters lined with coffee mugs donated by their students.
We have lots of comfortable seating, so there is always room available to relax. We have an upstairs patio and tables out front for those that enjoy feeling the sun or breeze.
The Terra Cotta Coffeehouse also hosts several events throughout the year. Musicians are invited to come play on open mic night. You can even reserve the upstairs for a private party venue or event that you would like to have. Whether you need a corporate meeting space, a respite from academia, or you are passing through the town, the Terra Cotta Coffeehouse is a beloved part of the town and well worth the visit!
