My favorite local coffee shop i have come across in my travels. Most coffee shops entice you with there specials and coffee but in the end the coffee always disappoints. Not here. I think I purchased 5 lattes with their homemade brown sugar syrup and homemade marshmallow syrup during are few days in town, and maybe a few homemade pastries. Definitely recommend.
Absolutely Delicious and Amazing Staff. Excellent Service. Amazing Food! Outstanding Coffe! JW was a delight to speak with. He gave us some tips for our bike ride through the trails. Support a Small Business.
We were recommended this little spot from a store owner and we are glad that we tried them out. They have mini waffles which were made fresh. Pair that with some whip cream and fresh berries, you have yourself a great meal. We ate here a few times, lunch and breakfast. Their cinnamon rolls were MASSIVE! The icing was amazing, it's enough to share unless you are someone who can crush some sweets. They have a lot of options as I had their BLT, and their Avocado Toast, while my fiancee had their veggie breakfast sandwich and the waffles. Oh, and their coffee is good too. Can't go wrong. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area.
We loved this place! Visited twice, once for lunch and once for breakfast. Food was delicious both times. Great coffee. The staff is so sweet, and my boys loved the Lego wall. Very cute inside too.
#2Just did another visit. One of the best smoothies and parfait! Good prices and staff. #1Great experience with food and people too. Food excellent, avocado toast, coffee super. Staff went out of their way to be helpful, pleasant and professional added to friendly. Great for kids. Desserts! Highly reccommend!
Really enjoyed this place for breakfast before riding on the creeper trail. The staff was super friendly and my cinnie roll was delicious. Got my kids baked goods after riding the trail and those were good. the breakfast sandwich was just average (i think the bagel could be a hair better) but for the price it wasn't a bad deal. Would eat here again!
The grit bowl is beyond amazing. Also the espresso drinks are so good because they use really good beans. I’d give this place an extra star if I could. It is an excellent coffee shop.
