Tried their spanish latte twice, the second time it felt a bit milky and less caffeinated but it was also very close to their closing time so that’s probably it. Will definitely go back and try their cortado. Loved the roasted mushroom sandwich!

great coffee and sandwich. But finding it hard to go back because of a lack of service. No smile and absolutely no warmth walking in.

The coffee here is so delightful. The baristas as so very kind. Please come here. You will indeed benefit from being a part of this caffeine community. Visit early and often. Note: there isn't much (indoor) space to sit, so don't plan to meet a huge group to sit and chat for a while. But that also makes it all the more cozy and great. Don't be afraid of the espresso tonic. It's quite lovely.

Amazing coffee spot. Don't miss out on the bacon, egg, and cheese that is made with love!

If you’re looking for a quaint, homy, and cute little coffee shop then Story and Soil is the place for you. I had some hot tea and it was tasty! I didn’t wait long for my drink either.

We stopped on the way to NH. It’s right of the highway so it was very convenient for us. My latte was delicious. It had perfect foam and it was at good temperature. The place is very small inside so we had to get our coffee to go. Bathroom was clean. Baristas were friendly. We would definitely stop again when making the trip

Highly recommend visiting for a wonderful coffee experience. The staff is kind and helpful (and patient!) The inside is cozy, baked goods are yummy. Best seasonal drinks that don’t follow the crowd.

Great little café! The plain latte was delicious and hot. I got the BEC and was not disappointed. There was a decent amount of hot sauce on mine, but it was great despite that. The whole bean coffee is market price for 12oz. They had at least 4 different types of coffee for sale among their merch. This space is a little small, with probably 9 to 10 seats indoors in the front, and probably for 10-20 outside the front. Walking from downtown was no issue - I will definitely be coming back here!

Great iced lavender oat milk latte! Nice seating outside (two picnic tables) to enjoy good weather.

Drove all the way here (25 mins) on Labor Day and I was excited to treat myself to a coffee here for the first time. I even checked their instagram to make sure they were open, which said they were open until 4. It was 3:10 and the doors were locked. Really disappointing. :(

Honestly this place has gone downhill. No more vegan pastries and the baristas aren't as skilled as they were when I was visiting over the fall/last summer. When you spend $7 on an oat latte you kind of want it to be well made. Mine was piping hot, and not nearly close to the x-tra fry I asked for. Tasted less like espresso and more like a cup of hot milk. Nobody asked if it was for here or to go and i was disappointed that my drink was served in a paper cup. It's a bummer because i desperately want a great craft espresso bar to be able to visit as a third place, but i would have been happier making an cafe au lait at home.

Coffee is good but the kitchen is randomly closed. When you go out of your way to get coffee and breakfast to find breakfast isn’t being served at 8:30 am multiple times it really turns you off from coming back.
