Stopped I'm thinking it was a Taxidermy shop because I didn't see the sign and I was surprised to see it was a café. That was my own fault and made me laugh but the experience within was AMAZING. The wonderful woman working was so kind and the latte I got kicked Starbucks in the rear end so hard. I am kicking myself I didn't buy a bag there to take back to MO with me! So delicious and the service was amazing. The energy was awesome and the scenery can't be beat. A must stop next time I'm back this way to see my family. I might make them go grab some espresso for me and send it haha! Truly amazing! My daughter (12) got some candy and had a blast looking at the taxidermy around the cafe.

Perhaps the most unique coffee spot in all the land. Go!

Came by at 2pm on Tuesday and they were closed. Sign on door says they’re closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays now. Busiest time and they’re closed??

Great stop for coffee when passing thru the area. Our coffee was made right when we ordered and was very good and we enjoyed looking around the little store area as well as looking at all of the taxidermy animals in the room next door.

Very weak latte. No froth. Besides that, the extreme collection of trophy hunting within the coffee shop is very disturbing. The epitome of human ego needing to be fed; with no regards for the animals they kill. Yuck.

Very cozy roadside coffee stop. Lattes were served hot and delicious. We also enjoyed browsing the taxidermy next door. Based on a quick Google search we thought they also served breakfast foods but they only had bakery items.

Super fun place to enjoy coffee, ice cream, or CRAZY taxidermy!!!! We planned to pop in for a quick cup of coffee and scoop of ice cream and ended up spending 45 minutes hanging out and checking out the “one shot” taxidermy. Plus our barista was adorable and friendly. Good luck to you guys!

Stopped in on our way home after driving past this place a couple times. I wasn't super impressed with the whole experience. The room where you order is so cute and warm and inviting and the menu is simple and affordable. The room over though is full of taxidermied animals and it is overall very uninviting and tacky. Really ruined the comfy cabin vibe they had going....I got a coffee and a sticky bun, the coffee was good but served lukewarm which was dissapointing and the sticky bun was a tad stale and not very sweet. My partner got a cold brew and loved it though!The cream and sugar station was also kind of weird, they had a small open top pitcher that they kept the creamer in. I would be worried about dust falling in throughout the day or children (or god forbid adults) putting their fingers in it. It was right next to a selection of children's toys so I couldn't help but imagine a child seeing a small pitcher and being curious.

Decent coffee. Nothing amazing. Cool scene. I love all the taxidermy and how it makes some people's minds melt to the point they needed to leave a 1 star. Insufferable liberal twats. If they leave more I'll comes raise this to a 5 star and encourage everyone else to do the same.

Had heard several locals talk about this place so I stopped in today to check it out. Great atmosphere. Two rooms. One was very much like a coffee shop. The other was like a game room / hunting lodge. They have some bakery sweets, ice cream / milkshakes and Coffee. Got my Dad a small butter pecan milkshake and I got an expresso over ice cream (Affagato) Wow. Highlight was seeing Marie. I know her from another place she worked and immediately missed her when she retired. She is an awesome lady who gives you just enough grief to know she cares and serves your order with a smile. Great place to visit.

Affogato in Foscoe?! Yes please! Excited for this to be a new local staple for us to walk to. Iced Latte and coffee cake was great too.

Taxidermy is awesome! Kids loved the ice cream and I enjoyed an iced latte. Would recommend.

My coffee was underwhelming and the taxidermy that lines the walls of the space is incredibly unnerving and upsetting. Most of them are exotic animals and some (like the elephant) are illegal to hunt in most countries. I can usually appreciate the beauty of taxidermy in small doses, but this was truly too much.
