Ordered a simple, black coffee. Waited nearly 20 minutes before I got up and asked the cashier who seemed surprised we never got it. Eventually sat back down and the cashier came back and asked what the order was again. Coffee was also just okay. The shop itself is nice and makes for a nice place to have a chat or work.

Just went in here and the guy behind the counter was repeatedly sneezing into his hands. He rinses them and asks what I want. I asked if he could use soap to wash his hands and he goes again and puts soap on his hands and then rinses it right off. If he actually washed his hands with soap for half as long as we tell our kids (20 sec), I’d be satisfied. I get it that it could be springtime allergies and not an illness. I suffer from them as well. I didn’t bother asking for a coffee. The scone was good and I’d even go back if the owner/mgr did some education on sanitary procedures. And yeah, I worked food service for years when I was younger and this doesn’t fly anywhere.

This was my first time ever at this coffee shop, I am very hesitant getting coffee outside of my home due to all of these big chains using very chemically tasting flavor syrups. I think the last time I had a coffee that was not made at home was over 4 months ago! The hot caramel latte with skim milk and cinnamon on top that I ordered today was absolutely delicious! I wish I didn’t live 50 mins away because I would come here every morning!!

What a great find this place was. I love good coffee and I'm not a fan of the chain coffee spots. This coffee shop was cute and so clean and the espresso was great. My daughter has celiac and was so excited to see 3 difference choices for baked goods. The staff is so friendly and we can't wait to go back.

Stopped for coffee for a meeting with a peer on a Monday (mid morning). Place was 50% full, service was right on and coffee had the right amount of kick. Probably enough indoor seating for 20 or so people, and there are a few tables outside too. Parking is street or the municipal lot across street are your two best options.

I ordered a decaf vanilla bean coffee and while drinking this came out!!, disgusting!! It looked like a worm..I will never trust this place, if it wasn’t for the fact that I was already in the highway I would’ve returned it. I ended up throwing out a $6 cup of coffee…disturbing ?

From the outside it looks like a cute coffee shop, until you actually receive the coffee. I ordered a decaf vanilla bean coffee and to my surprise this was in the cup of coffee..disgusting. It look like a worm. If I wasn't in the highway I would of return back. I will never trust this place.

Great place, but it pushes anti-establishment non conformist air as far as Starbucks goes the other direction. Why bother, their product is great and stands on its own. Nice space to study or meet a friend.Parking: Big, big lot behind store.

Very nice in here. Awesome coffee. Great place to grab some food while you catch up on your work.My only gripe is that they didn’t ask if I wanted it for-here or to-go. They have mugs on the wall so I assume they can do for-here orders but all my food and drink came in plastic.

Had a lovely cold brew with vanilla Bean Syrup and a touch of cream. The service was efficient and understanding. Love the aesthetic of the place!Free parking lot in the back and parking on the street. It's a great stop if you are in the area. They also have free Wi-Fi. The cold brew has a mocha flavor and isn't acidic. Medium roast. I liked it a lot.
