  I always see the Gryphon Cafe on my way to work and always wanted to stop in. I finally did this morning. As soon as I walked in, I instantly felt the "cool" vibe of this place. Inside there's wood floors, wood tables, a chalboard wall featuring the drinks and food specials and local art hung all over the walls for sale. I ordered my stuff to go but I could see myself just chilling out here to work or listen to music while sipping on a fancy latte eating a croissant.
  
  Today I ordered an Almond Milk Cappuccino (16oz) and an Open-Faced Smoked Salmon toast and my total came to $15. It's certainly not inexpensive but the cappuccino was delicious and the caffeine strong. My salmon toast was really simple but tasty.
  
  I would come back again to treat myself to a special cup of cappuccino since I got a pretty good Monday morning jolt from the caffeine!

  This place is super cute. The staff are polite and the coffee is delicious! The cafe is large enough to hang out in for a morning beverage, read, or meet up. A giant menu explaining the different beverages they make is helpful to someone who wants to try something new. They offer food as well; I haven't tried it, but the options looks delicious and priced well.
  Of note, my boyfriends  coffee was the bitter side (perhaps the roast); but, my soy hazelnut latte was perfection!

  Awesome cute little cafe in downtown Wayne. Just the kind of place my very hip and trendy teenage niece was looking for. The coffees--straight up drip, cappuccino & cold frappe--were all delicious. The chai tea latte wasn't quite chai as we had expected but if you're a coffee lover I'd definitely recommend this place.

  I wanted to love this place, the only independent cafe I have found in Wayne, but I've had two bad experiences.
  
  What's good: prompt, friendly service, nice, funky atmosphere, air conditioning downstairs perfect on a hot morning. Black delicious (to me) coffee had that slightly burnt taste that is growing popular. The selection of bottled and house-made cold drinks is big for a small cafe, and they clearly have a dedicated following of eco-friendly customers stopping in with reusable mugs.  
  
  Now the downside: On two visits a week apart, the dishwasher was broken so I couldn't use a house mug. I left my reusable one at home both days, and was forced to use a paper cup, which I avoid. My first visit, I ordered a multi-grain bagel with veggie cream cheese. "No veggie cream cheese today," so I had plain. The already tough bagel was seriously over-toasted, rendering it inedible. They kindly gave me a card for a free drink when I pointed it out.
  
  On my second visit, I again had to use a paper cup and ordered a sesame bagel with plain cream cheese. This time I got an everything bagel, which included anise seeds I don't care for. I didn't say anything.
  
  I hope the Gryphon can get the dishwasher fixed and work on bagel identification and toasting skills. I'll give them one more try.

  Mornings at the Gryphon are one of my new favorite things. Affordably priced and down-to-earth, this cafe is the perfect place for reading the morning paper, firing off a few emails, or catching up on some good conversation. It's cozy like an English cafe. Stop by for lunch, too. The soup is tasty.
