I stopped in with a friend and her son, and we all left so happy. The coffee was perfect—rich, smooth, and just the right temperature. I’m a bit of a coffee snob, and this was some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The pastries? Incredible. There’s always a great variety, and you can tell they’re made with care—fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet. I had a scone this time, and it was just the right balance of crisp outside and soft inside. My friend’s son devoured his muffin in about 30 seconds, so I think that says something too! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and it’s just one of those places that makes you want to linger. Can’t wait to come back!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Really a beautiful and spacious coffee shop right downtown. Lots of great parking parking and the paintings and artwork around this coffee shop are incredibly beautiful. More over, this place is extremely clean and the staff is attentive and friendly. I was very impressed! Five stars!!

Great Southwest Turkey sandwich! We split it and it was the right size for 2 fairly light eaters. Also split a piece of pumpkin cake. Also very good. And the servers supplied 2 plates and cutlery. A nice touch. Highly recommended. Also the Inn that we were staying at, the owner said the soups were fantastic! Next time!
