Cute store and cafe! A serious place that knows how to use pure maple syrup to sweeten all their products with! Had some Round Lake Fog tea latte that's amazing!! Good coffee and crazy place to find!

Not a fan. Cute shop, my husband was looking forward to a hand pie. We were there for coffee and breakfast. Worst carmel macchiato I've ever had. The bacon, egg hand pie was okay, but had a wired white sauce oozing out of it and the egg was hard boiled, but the beef and carrots had been cooked in wine and was terrible. The dough/ crust had a nice texture but needed salt, the egg and bacon needed pepper, and the beef and carrot was too salty. But the real kicker was the tab. For two small hand pies and two SMALL cups of coffee, the tab was $30. We will not be returning to this pretentious little shop.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Macchiatos seemed to just be hot milk though, I had to add a double shot espresso to have it taste a bit like coffee. My recommendation would be to add 1-2 espresso shots to the drinks.

A wonderful find. Really appreciate being able to have a great coffee in a cozy environment. Amber has done an amazing job in bringing Australian coffee culture and meat pies to this wonderful town! Thank you!!

The customer service is great and they have a wide variety of items to buy. Their maple granola is some of the best that I have ever had and definitely recommend giving it a try. They also have excellent cookies and cold brew coffee as well as tea lattes. They have indoor seating which is a nice addition during these colder months. I highly recommend stopping by and buying some of their delicious granola and a coffee.

Their chocolate hazelnut spread is so delicious and doesn't taste like concentrated white sugar like Nutella does. It makes Nutella taste fake.

Five generation farm with a new chef in the family and a fantastic store front as an outlet for his maple syrup based creations. Authentic and fantastic forward thinking foodie fun.
