Wasn’t sure what to expect but as I saw that the pumpkin menu was out I knew. I’m not a breakfast sandwich kind of girl BUT I HAVE CHANGED. Genuinely amazing food and drinks. This is amazing!!
What a great place to get a coffee and work, read, chat. Its exactly what a coffee shop should be.
This tiny place truly “rocks.” Fast, efficient, accurate service, always with a smile and sweet spirit. There may be a line but I promise it will disappear before your eyes. The greatest chocolate chip salt cookie imaginable, and quite the scrumptious
This is my absolute favorite coffee shop. They always have fresh homemade pastries and breakfasty items. Plus great coffee.
Best coffee shop by far. I've been a regular for over 10 years. Their coffee is always good and their pastries are excellent. I would never choose some of the other options in town over them.
This coffee was shop warm, welcoming, and delicious. We had the vegan chocolate chip cookies which were SO good! We had a slight issue with our order, and the staff handled it kindly and generously. They have fun gifts and a seasonal display, overall such a lovely experience. There’s street parking and a lot about 5 minutes away, and plenty of tables to sit at.
I could not recommend this coffee shop more! I've been going here since middleschool, I'm a sophomore in college now, and still when I'm home for breaks it's my number one go-to spot. The coffee is amazing, they're really good at balancing flavors in their lattes, and the cranberry orange muffin is just a delight. They also have a super friendly staff who clearly love what they do and it shows in what they make!
Colby took our orders and she was so friendly and helpful. What a great little spot! Very cute with comic book themed things. Perfect place to sit and enjoy a coffee! Highly recommend.
Great local coffee shop where most of the business wheeling and dealing happens workday mornings . Great coffee, knowledgeable baristas, and a solid selection of breakfast and lunch snacks . My only ding against it is the early closing hours during the week and kind of odd weekend hours. But, still five stars since it's hard to fault them not being open *every* time I want coffee.
